The webtoon the drama is adapted from. Apparently part of the reason she rejects him when he first confesses is that she finds out he's younger than her.

Oooh, Woo Do-hwan is in the cast as well. I assume he'll shoot this before Bloodhounds 2?

Him being younger than her is a plot point. Their work dynamic will be a source of comedy, He has the job despite being so young because he's the chaebol heir who will inherit the store.

I'm really trying with this, but Suzy's acting is bad and she has no romantic chemistry with Lee Jong-suk.

I assume this will get a different English title? Maybe they're waiting for the global OTT.

Oh, I don't agree at all. Kayoung looks great for her age.

Not sure what your point is, but yes it's a noona drama.

Probably not. Looks like Disney+ will release it globally. Which is not great, because other than Moving, their dramas don't usually have a high profile. I can't believe Netflix didn't fight for this after QOT was such a massive success for them.

Already watching this for FL, ML & SML, but Wonjung is a bonus 😍

It's still on the 2024-25 production schedule for Studio Dragon, but they need someone to not reject it as they obviously can't start production without a proper cast. It's an expensive project with a high-profile director, so they will also need high-profile leads to accept the project.

Can't wait to see Hyunwook as ML! I'm sure he and his team have chosen the part well, as always. I'm happy he feels ready to graduate from high school roles only and to take on his first proper lead role!

Yeah, I'm not worried. We know virtually nothing other than the info posted in the article confirming the casting. The director wouldn't have cast them if he didn't think they were right for the parts. Besides, ML is supposed to give off a youthful vibe, and it's a plot point that he's younger than FL, which will probably be used to comedic effect in the office setting.

I like Kim Sohyun. Happy to get this little treat before she's back with Good Boy in November. 💛

Seems like it will be on Disney+ in some territories, such as Japan.

It's possible. I don't see a reason why they would age the characters more than necessary, when they're both in their 20s IRL.

Actors in their 30s play high school students all the time, so I'm sure the other way around will be fine too. But I don't understand why they need to jump 16 years though. It's not how the story goes in the webtoon. Just say 8-10 years later instead? Strange decision.

The script reading for this drama took place today. Filming underway soon! 😁

Now officially confirmed as ML in Black Salt Dragon, production underway, release first half of 2025. Based on the description it sounds like it'll be really funny and a perfect role for Hyunwook where he gets to use his "irresistible charm as a chic boss and a free spirit who lives life following his heart."

Casting of the leads has been officially confirmed, broadcast on tvN first half of 2025. 🥳
