In 'The guy is a black dragon', Moon Ga-young becomes the savior of Deputy Minister Choi Hyun-wook, who cannot approach his favorite rock star even when he is right in front of him.
tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'The guy is a black dragon' (directed by Lee Soo-hyun/written by Kim Soo-yeon/produced by Studio N/planned by Studio Dragon) is an office romance about unsealing the bond between 'Deputy Minister killer' Head of Team Baek Soo-jung, who is tormented by a first love that has become a dark history, and the '3rd generation chaebol' Deputy Minister Ban Joo-yeon, who lives while hiding her devoted fan self. It depicts the soft reunion of two people who met in an online game during their childhood and remained as the worst connection, reuniting at work.
With a witty subject of 'dark history first love,' lively direction, and attractive character play from Moon Ga-young (as Baek Soo-jung) and Choi Hyun-wook (as Ban Joo-yeon), 'The guy is a black dragon' has gained a hot response, rising to 1st place in pre-air online popularity among all tvN Monday-Tuesday dramas and becoming the hottest drama of 2025. Furthermore, in its first week of broadcasting, it achieved the highest viewership rate in cable and comprehensive programming channels during the same time slot for 7 consecutive weeks, taking over from 'Won-gyeong' and maintaining its throne in the Monday-Tuesday drama category.

In the 2nd episode, Head of Team Baek Soo-jung witnesses the mysterious fan-like private life of the new Deputy Minister Ban Joo-yeon at Yongseong Department Store, becoming a close surveillance protection target, raising curiosity about how their relationship will change. Meanwhile, an interesting scene where Soo-jung and Joo-yeon encounter the vocalist (played by Vincent) of Joo-yeon's favorite hard rock band has been 공개되어, attracting attention.
In the revealed stills, Soo-jung and Joo-yeon are seen fixated on a long-haired male figure, drawing attention. This occurs in the middle of Yongseong Department Store, where Joo-yeon meets her favorite rock star; however, due to being in Deputy Minister mode, she cannot express her fan emotions, leading to a bittersweet situation. Notably, a close-up still of Joo-yeon pouting, unable to confess her fan feelings in front of her favorite star, attracts attention. Joo-yeon's pure fan love, with her moist deer-like eyes and restlessly tapping feet, evokes sympathy and a sense of sadness, creating a funny yet painful scenario. It is said that the perfect man Joo-yeon, who usually displays a meticulous Deputy Minister persona, reveals her pure and harmless side, showcasing her youthful charm.
In contrast, Soo-jung asks the rock star for a V pose photo on behalf of Joo-yeon, helping her step away from the 'fan unable to ride the fandom' ('덕후는 계를 못 탄다' abbreviated) and leading her towards becoming a successful fan. After 16 years, Soo-jung, transformed into Joo-yeon's 'healer goddess,' brings a warm smile while a subtle change in the atmosphere is detected between the often growling Soo-jung and Joo-yeon, increasing interest in how the two's relationship, sharing 'Joo-yeon's secretive personal life,' will evolve.
'The guy is a black dragon' production team noted, "Please watch as the perfectly armored Deputy Minister Choi Hyun-wook subtly reveals his devoted fan nature, showcasing a humane and harmless charm," adding, "Enjoy the romantic dopamine from the relationship where Moon Ga-young takes on the role of healer for devoted fan Choi Hyun-wook," raising expectations for the upcoming broadcast.
