A still of Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook's sweet yet fierce arcade date has been revealed, raising interest.
With the witty theme of 'dark history first love' and vibrant direction, the drama is receiving a warm response due to the charming character play of Moon Ga-young (as Baek Soo-jung) and Choi Hyun-wook (as Ban Joo-yeon). 'That 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 'Deputy Minister Killer' team leader Baek Soo-jung, who suffers from a painful first love that has become a dark history, and 'third-generation chaebol' team leader Ban Joo-yeon, who lives hiding his inner otaku black dragon. This work captures the sweet yet soft first love reunion of two individuals who met in an online game during their childhood and remained as the worst fate, as they reconnect at work. The drama has topped the pre-release online topic in tvN's history for Monday-Tuesday dramas and maintained the number one viewership ratings in cable and comprehensive channels during the first week of broadcast, continuing to hold the throne of Monday-Tuesday dramas.
