In 'The Guy is a Black Dragon', Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook reveal their transformation into characters from an online game, drawing significant attention.
The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'The Guy is a Black Dragon', which will premiere on the 17th, tells the story of 'Department Head Killer' team leader Baek Soo-jung, who suffers from the pain of a first love that has become a dark history, and 'Chaebol 3rd Generation' department head Ban Joo-yeon, who lives while hiding his passionate alter ego, the Black Dragon. The drama depicts a soft first love reunion as the two, who met in an online game as children and left with the worst connection, meet again at work.
Based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name by writer Hye-jin Yang, the drama is directed by Lee Soo-hyun, who also directed tvN's 'Beneficial Fraud', and features a solid main cast including Moon Ga-young (as Baek Soo-jung), Choi Hyun-wook (as Ban Joo-yeon), Lim Se-mi (as Seo Ha-jin), and Kwak Si-yang (as Kim Shin-won), raising expectations.
Among them, Moon Ga-young plays the role of 'Baek Soo-jung', the department head killer team leader who is used to fighting against the department head who commits injustices rather than just enduring them, while Choi Hyun-wook plays 'Ban Joo-yeon', a chaebol 3rd generation and department head of Yongseong Department Store, who is meticulous in everything but secretly hides his passionate alter ego, the Black Dragon.
In the meantime, stills of Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook transformed into characters from an online game have been released, capturing attention. This is set in the online game world where the two first met, enjoying a date under their game nicknames 'Strawberry' and 'Black Dragon'. The visuals and chemistry of Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook, perfectly embodying their roles, heighten viewers' interest.
In the released stills, Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook form a team with the best synergy, conquering all battles together. Moon Ga-young is seen in a blue healer outfit, sporting a topknot and dressed as a man. She plays a 'healer' with the ability to restore health, making her an indispensable presence for the swordsman Choi Hyun-wook. Meanwhile, Choi Hyun-wook has transformed into the top swordsman. His gaze at Moon Ga-young while wearing a mask exudes a strong older brother vibe. Furthermore, the aura emanating from Choi Hyun-wook, breaking through the mask, makes hearts flutter.
Moreover, the close bond between Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook in the game evokes images of couples from martial arts novels, creating an immersive experience. In the drama, the two grow closer by playing games and chatting together, but during their long-awaited offline first meeting, they create an unprecedented dark history, leaving each other as the worst first love. This has drawn attention to their story.
Meanwhile, at the production presentation of 'The Guy is a Black Dragon' held on the 12th, Moon Ga-young mentioned, "To implement the online game, I practiced with Choi Hyun-wook at an action school to match our moves." This raises expectations for the game scenes and the action performances of Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook that will be showcased in the broadcast.
The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'The Guy is a Black Dragon' is set to premiere on February 17 at 8:50 PM.
