Tension in 'The Guy is Black Dragon' as Past Secrets Emerge

In the latest episode of tvN's 'The Guy is Black Dragon' (그놈은 흑염룡), the characters played by Moon Ga-young (문가영) and Choi Hyun-wook (최현욱) confront their pasts and the identity of their first love. The tension escalates as they, along with Lim Se-mi (임세미) and Kwak Si-yang (곽시양), come together for a pivotal four-way confrontation.

'The Guy is Black Dragon' tells the story of two individuals who had a tumultuous relationship in an online game, only to meet again in a workplace setting, leading to an office romance. Moon Ga-young portrays Baek Soo-jung, a team leader known as the 'Department Head Killer,' while Choi Hyun-wook plays Ban Joo-yeon, a third-generation chaebol.

In the previous episode, the secret romance between Soo-jung and Joo-yeon faced challenges when Soo-jung discovered a confession necklace from the past, revealing Joo-yeon as a figure from her dark history. This revelation puts their budding romance in jeopardy.

In stills released by the production team, Soo-jung appears to hide her emotions while avoiding Joo-yeon's gaze, who looks at her with a determined expression. The anxious expressions of Seon Ha-jin (임세미) and Kim Shin-won (곽시양) suggest that the relationship between Soo-jung and Joo-yeon is on shaky ground.

Additionally, a special preview for episode 9 shows Shin-won asking Soo-jung and Joo-yeon, "You two will keep seeing each other, right?" Joo-yeon responds affirmatively, while Soo-jung sharply denies it, showcasing their contrasting reactions.

The production team stated, "Although the identity of the Black Dragon has been revealed, Ban Joo-yeon's pursuit will not waver. We ask viewers to watch and see if Soo-jung can overcome her past wounds."

Meanwhile, 'The Guy is Black Dragon' has proven to be a massive hit, ranking first for three consecutive weeks in 118 countries on the global OTT platform Rakuten Viki. The show airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM on tvN.
