Moon Ga Young and Choi Hyun Wook star in the highly anticipated Korean drama Black Salt Dragon, set to air in early 2025. This drama, adapted from the webtoon He’s the Black Dragon, promises a compelling mix of romance and tension. Let’s dive into what makes this drama a must-watch.
The Story of Black Salt Dragon
Black Salt Dragon tells the story of two people who initially meet through an online game during their school days. Behind their game characters, they form a bond, only to lose touch and meet again 16 years later in real life as boss and employee.
Baek Soo Jung, portrayed by Moon Ga Young, is a dedicated employee known for her blunt nature. Her superior, Ban Joo Yeon, played by Choi Hyun Wook, is a chaebol heir destined to inherit the Yongsung Department Store. Their interactions are fraught with initial animosity, largely due to Baek Soo Jung’s straightforwardness which irritates Ban Joo Yeon. Adding to the tension, Ban Joo Yeon harbors bad memories from his first love, whom he met in an online game under the ID “Black Salt Dragon.” Could Baek Soo Jung be that person?
This storyline promises to blend past misunderstandings with present-day conflicts, creating a narrative full of emotional twists and heartfelt moments.
