Song Jae-rim added to revenge drama Goodbye Mr. Black
by javabeans
Good news: Song Jae-rim (Age of Feeling, Unkind Women) has joined SBS’s upcoming drama Goodbye Mr. Black, which is already on my radar for what sounds like an entertaining plot (love those get-a-new-identity-and-get-revenge stories) and two stars I love, Lee Jin-wook (Time I’ve Loved You) and Moon Chae-won (Good Doctor). The downside, I suppose, is that this means Song Jae-rim’s adding another supporting role to his resumé. He’ll be a lead someday, right?
The drama is based on a manhwa series from the ’80s that centers around a man who is betrayed by his best friend, who then returns with a new name to uncover the truth and get his revenge. He’ll be played by Lee Jin-wook, and Moon Chae-won will play the woman who fake-marries him as a way to help his mission.
It’s not yet clear how Song Jae-rim will connect with them, but we do know he’ll play a man who’s the CEO of a very small publisher and also a news editor. The character boasts impressive academic credentials, having entered the top law school in the nation at the top of the class, with a double major in mass media and communications. He believes in the power of the media over the law, and that that’s the power of the people. Despite his good looks and physique, those go hidden underneath outdated glasses and his only suit (for shame!), and he’s never been in a romantic relationship before. I know, it’s hard to believe, but that’s what suspension of disbelief is for.
Goodbye Mr. Black comes from the director of Birth of a Beauty and the writer of Can You Hear My Heart and I Miss You. The drama will follow Village: Secret of Achiara and premieres in November on SBS.

I wish I saw this earlier so I can just leave an ode to Rim's apple butt and fly away. Now all I can do is cackle at everyone's comments. It's like a party! :D
d'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaw. &hearts co-beanies.
Except the few "chingus" who don't like Rim Oppar. Please meet me at Han River like the others.
Don't call the cops.

I'll probably give this show a go just because of SJR, having discovered him in Unkind Ladies. :)

I do wonder for him if it's his lack of popularity or personal preference to do a range of roles which is why he hasn't gotten a lead yet? I mean he is from SM, so if they really wanted to I do think they could've pulled some strings to get him a lead somewhere...

SJR was great in 'we got married'. Sadly the same can't be said about his acting in 'unkind women' comparing to all the actors around his age in the drama. He was relatively weak. imo he is not ready to be a lead yet. He is a great person with a big / kind heart. However it takes a lot of hard work and there is a long journey ahead of him as an actor.

(No one will probably see this by now, but....)
I agree with you. :') I want his acting to be better so he can truly be the Ultimate Oppar.
