This has been a good week for Moon Chae Won, in the span of days she got not just one but two male costars for her upcoming SBS drama Goodbye Mr. Black, and even better is that neither is a losing proposition. Talk about win-win for Ms. Moon. Lee Jin Wook isn’t letting one stinker of an SBS drama dissuade him from doing another drama for the network again, and really who can fault him for wanting to just move on from the PPL-laden mess that was The Time I Loved You. He’ll be the titular Mr. Black to Moon Chae Won’s sweet healing leading lady in this revenge noir manhwa adapted into a K-drama.
One thing I like a lot about Lee Jin Wook is his diversity in choosing dramas and roles, just taking his last three dramas he did sageuk with The Three Musketeers, time-travel intensity in Nine: Nine Times Travels, and even tried his best to make a half-baked romance drama work in The TIme I Loved You. Add to it turning into the K-drama version of The Count of Monte Cristo, and I’d say it’s going to be interesting to see him bring the angry bitter intensity. Luckily his character is fated to meet the right girl to help him work through his demons, and maybe even lend a helping hand to his revenge plot.
In addition to Lee Jin Wook joining Goodbye Mr. Black, the drama is in talks with Song Jae Rim as the second male lead and he’s positively considering the role. It’s a high profile prime time drama, and with his rising recognition thanks to his stint in We Got Married, this would be a drama with solid potential to join. Lee Jin Wook’s character is a Navy Seal Team member that conducts underwater demolition missions, and one day he’s cruelly betrayed by his best friend and loses everything. He decides to get revenge and pretend marries Moon Chae Won’s character to further his plan, but her rough and tumble but optimistic personality helps heal his emotional wounds. Song Jae Rim is playing the editor of a small magazine publication who likes writing positive articles and believes in the power of the masses over the power of the law to get justice. He’s got all the attractive features but isn’t interested in women and focuses on his career.
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Bring it on!
looking forward this drama the synopsis n lee jin wook make me already excited , actually i never thought that i could see ljw in drama this soon plus the story seems interesting
Moon Chaewon's role not sounding good to me. Hope it's better than the description.
badass Eun Gi is her best role so far for me, not the weak amnesia one. I love when MCW plays a strong and little bit antagonistic role, like in Brilliant Legacy. Funny how I like her character more than the lead one because it's too one dimensional.
Moon Chae Won is back. Excited!!
the drama sound like nice guy......just dont like ljw
it's more like green rose to me but many revenge drama like that, i watch count of monte cristo i like the story but the acting isn't really good in the movie i saw ljw in many drama n i believe he could portray it better, his dramatic melo acting always strong
Well it sounds like most revenge melos. But I don't think it'll try to be like Nice Guy*ahemlikehighsocietydidnooffenseahem* haha.
lee jin wook was great as the president's son in the powerful opponants drama. im sure he will be great in this drama
hope MCW get to pair up with SJR LJW is a bit old to play her lover. see as korean/japan love to pair old dude with young woman.my bet is on LJW being her lover in the end.
C'mon, they are only five years apart.
LMAO, is this comment for real? And isn't it obvious that Lee Jin Wook is playing the main character?
This kinda silly comment is everywhere. Annoying
For some reason I really hate LJW's acting. I doubt I'll like him in this drama either. he has no depth. It's too bad because I love MCW and I love SjR (he's sexy) but I'll pass.
No depth because you don't like him? 🤣
LJW.. :\ I've tried his dramas and just don't feel it.
SJR... feelings are a bit better there cos he's still a fresh face to me.
MCW.. :)
his last drama has mediocre rating but he got another role so soon, in the same broadcaster n the role is titular role in emotional revenge drama, he's not that popular either, absolutly he was chosen because of his acting
