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 Despite his good looks and physique, those go hidden underneath outdated glasses and his only suit (for shame!), and he’s never been in a romantic relationship before.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.

Mary's soul is in purgatory right now for wishing Shin Sung-rok was in this due to his fabulous chest hair. (Also his past work in Count of Monte Cristo musical.)
Let this be a lesson to us all not to waver in our faith.

Thank you! You're fab! I sarang you.
And I'm now more excited for this show. :3 It's from the team that made TTM so I'm expecting an adaptation that's still unique in its own way. Plus I'm a bit glad MCW is not Mercedes but actually someone who's involved in the revenge part. :))))))))))))

I was going to pass on this drama, but I saw Moon Hee-jungnim's name attached to this, and I know I just had to watch. I love, love, LOVE I Miss You and Can You Hear My Heart. I hope this drama is good, I'm not quite sold on the leads yet since I only liked Lee Jin-wook in TTWWNIL mostly because of the sweet character he was playing, never seen Moon Chae-won, I always avoid her for reasons I'm not sure and I'm not really the biggest Song Jae-rim fan, he seems sweet and all but I can't seem to pay attention to him on-screen. Well except maybe in FBRS where he was so pretty my eyes hurt. I probably should go and watch Inspiring Generation now.

I was so underwhelmed by his lousy performance in "Unkind Women" that I could not care less if he comes here. He was not even hot or sexy there. Him being in that drama did nothing for the drama, but the drama was also so good, that he did not detract from it. I am just happy for Lee Jin-Wook and Moon Chae-Won in this drama based on The Count of Monte Cristo. I would have preferred someone else other than Song Jae-Rim - because the man cannot act... but oh, well... c'est la vie.
