As for the reason for choosing the work, Moon Ga-young was very curious because the title was intense and the script was so interesting. I chose it without worrying because I thought many people could sympathize with it through dark history and hobbies" he said.

He was reunited with the Soohyun Lee manager five years after 'The Man's Memorabilia'. In response, Moon Ga-young "I had a lot of good memories with the director and was waiting for the work to be together again. I participated without any worries because I thought I could enjoy working again this time." Director Soohyun Lee said, "(When I first saw Baek Soo-jung's character, I thought of Moon Ga-young. I was confident that she would play this role perfectly," he said, explaining the reason for the casting.




Choi Hyun-wook is trying to become an office worker for the first time since his debut. In the play, he will play the role of the third generation head of the chaebol and an accompaniment with the self 'black dragon', showing a different charm. He was not used to acting in a suit, so he paid attention to details such as walking and speaking. But outside the company, I tried to make a difference because there's another twist of charm" he said.

He also said that he received a lot of help from Moon Ga-young as he was the main character of a romance work for the first time. He said "Isn't actor Moon Ga-young 'Melo Queen?" There were a lot of scenes that we filmed together, and we relied on a lot of them, and we talked together and made a better scene." In response, Moon Ga-young "I've played a lot of roles as the youngest in the field, but actor Choi Hyun-wook was young, so I learned a lot with a different feeling in this field. Actor Choi Hyun-wook has a good sense and is good at ad-libbing. Thanks to you, I was able to laugh a lot while filming," he said.

Im Semi and Gwakshiyang act as a sub-couple who will be responsible for another fun of 'He's a Black Dragon'. Im Semi played the role of the free spirit 'Seo Ha-jin'. She said "The script was so cute and lovely. Above all, the part dealing with a maniacal life was interesting. Being able to be with actor Moon Ga-young was also one of the reasons for the choice" he said.

Kwak Si-yang plays the role of the No. 1 employee in the company's popularity vote 'Kim Shin-won', completely shedding the existing strong villain image. He smiled, saying, `Many people say that Gwakshiyang can't play a good role.' "This time, we will show you a full appearance of 'Dog-mi'," he said.

Their teamwork also raises expectations. Lim Semi is "Ha-Shinwon couple "Spicy Taste". He expressed confidence, saying, "It starts hot and ends with warm and deep love." "Without actor Lim Semi, this narrative would not have been revived," Kwak Si-yang also said. "While filming, Nong-ik tried to express the love of adults."

Points differentiated from the original were also revealed. Director Soohyun Lee said, `The key is the setting of the two people who met in the game reunite in reality. There is also a scene where actors directly act to express the character in the game.

Moon Ga-young said "A new synergy was created by the combination of relationships and office objects. There will be many elements that viewers can sympathize with and enjoy." Choi Hyun-wook is also a perfect head of the Ban Ki-yeon, who has a black dragon ego, but he is sloppy in private. The focus was on making use of this difference,' he said.

Finally, the actors asked the viewers to look forward to it. Moon Ga-young said, `I hope it will be a fun and comfortable drama to watch. We filmed it with happy energy, so please show a lot of love." Choi Hyun-wook filmed in a suit from summer to winter," he said. Im Semi is a work that can bring a warm smile. There are many scenes that are so interesting that the last shot is regrettable, and Kwak Si-yang said, `Please look forward to a romance between excitement and tickle.'
