tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'He's a Black Chromite' (played by Kim Soo-yeon, directed by Soohyun Lee) is an unsealed office romance between Baek Soo-jung, the team leader, who suffers from his first love that has become a black history, and Ban Ki-yeon, the team leader, who lives with a black Chromite in his heart.
The viewership of the 6th episode of "He's a Black Dragon" surpassed 5%, breaking its own highest ratings every week, and continuing a steep rise, drawing attention. (Based on Nielsen Korea's paid platform) In particular, it has joined the tvN box office drama lineage, which has created a syndrome by creating new content for web novels and webtoons such as 「Sunjae and Jump」 and"Jungnyeoni". It has emerged as a drama that has been created by newly interpreting the charm of the original webtoon, creating a CG that adds a cute charm, and interestingly depicting the colorful chemistry between the characters.
From the visuals of Moon Ga-young (Baek Soo-jung) and Choi Hyun-wook (Baek Soo-jung), who seem to have come out of the webtoon, to the chemistry of the couple 'Strawberry Salt Dragon', which explodes the excitement over and over again, is igniting a steep rise in 'He's Black Salt Dragon'. The images of the two people who started office romance flirting without knowing that each other was their first love in dark history make viewers' hearts flutter. As you get to know the secret of the lead role, the behavior of the lead role who wants to be imprinted on Su-jeong and Su-jeong who gradually permeates him as 'Man' makes viewers' clowns flutter. In particular, the appearance of the lead role, who forgot the risk of the secret of the black dragon being revealed following the surprise kiss of the lead in the 5th episode, announced the birth of a charged younger head of the headquarters, adding to the charm of the older couple, making viewers' hearts flutter even more.
In addition, cute and delicate production using CG also adds to the fun of the play. Starting with CG, which embodies the game, it captivated viewers with a direction in which cute CGs were placed in the right place. While Ju-yeon released her PC password and said the line "Orewa Akumada (I am the devil)," CG expressing the devil's wings and horns rising on Ju-yeon's head and back, and CG expressing the feeling of getting better when Ju-yeon eats chocolate milk with laughter emoticons doubled the charm of Yeom-ryong, the head of the younger headquarters. In addition, the scene where the main character gets jealous while reading a comic book while thinking of Su-jeong and Shin-won (Guaxi-yang) has emerged as a hot topic scene by expressing it like a cut in a cartoon.
On the other hand, the chemistry between Su-jeong and the characters surrounding the lead is also one of the popular factors of 'His Black Salt Dragon'. From the chemistry with Ha Jin (Im Semi) who met Su-jeong through the game to the real-life co-worker chemistry between Jun-su (Kim Woo-gyeom), Nana (Im Young-joo), and team leader Su-jeong, it also evokes friendly sympathy. Above all, In-kyung (Kim Young-ah), the chief of staff in the lead role, gives advice on the main role's love concerns even though she maintains a thorough up-and-down relationship with the main character, adding to the fun. In addition, the love line of Shin Won, a sweet man, and Ha Jin, a free soul, also intrigues viewers.
Based on Moon Ga-young and Choi Hyun-wook's ripening chemistry, cute and delicate production that adds to the play's immersion, and the relationship surrounding the characters, expectations for 'He's Black Salt Dragon', which not only has a vertical rise in viewership but also dominated domestic and foreign buzz.
tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama `He's a Black Dragon' airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
