Moon Ga Young, Choi Hyun Wook to Play Long-Lost Lovers in 'Black Salt Dragon'
As mentioned, "Black Salt Dragon" is based on a webtoon that centers around the romance between a man and woman who met virtually.
During their high school days, they were into playing online games and became close because of it.
16 years later, they met in real life after working for the same company. However, the catch here is that one of them is the boss, while the other is an employee.
For her K-drama comeback, Moon Ga Young will transform into an ordinary employee, Baek Soo Jung.
Despite being a hard-working and talented employee, she has a challenging working relationship with her boss, Baek Soo Jung, played by Choi Hyun Wook.
As for Choi Hyun Wook's character, he is a chaebol heir who works at the Yongsung Department Store, owned by their family. He is the director of the strategic planning division, not to mention a perfectionist.
Other than his work, his first love was really traumatic for him because, after confessing his first love to the woman he met online, he got rejected and sees this as his painful past.
Meanwhile, Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook's new drama "Black Salt Dragon" will be directed by Lee Soo Hyun of the hit rom-com K-dramas "Shooting Strs" and "Delightfully Deceitful," as well as the fantasy series "The Witch's Diner."
