Class begins for The Midnight Romance in Hagwon

by solstices

We’ve had late-night photography, and now tvN is gearing up for some heart-fluttering flirtation after sundown. In the upcoming drama The Midnight Romance in Hagwon, an acclaimed tutor finds herself brought together with her former student once again, through a reunion ten years in the making.

Said star tutor is Seo Hye-jin, played by Jung Ryeo-won (May It Please the Court). Hailed as a miracle-maker, language instructor Hye-jin has no less than 14 years of experience under her belt. “Teaching intelligent kids is a lot more rewarding than you’d expect,” she says, and her career path has been smooth until the arrival of one particular student.

Played by Wie Ha-joon (Gyeongseong Creature), Lee Jun-ho is the aforementioned miracle that Hye-jin created. In his younger days, Hye-jin had exerted all her effort to push him up from the bottom of the barrel and onto the path to a good university. Now, a decade later, Jun-ho has returned to express his gratitude to her — and win her heart.

As someone who doesn’t like the unpredictable — whether it be in exams or relationships — Hye-jin finds herself discomfited by the whirlwind that is Jun-ho. With him constantly on her mind, it isn’t long before her heart starts leaning in his direction. “Is it even possible not to like Jun-ho?” Hye-jin wonders. “If there is a way, please tell me.”

Meanwhile, Jun-ho’s absolutely certain of his own feelings. “There’s no way she hasn’t noticed,” he declares, “that Seo Hye-jin is Lee Jun-ho’s first love.” As the chyron says, from the very beginning, it has always been Hye-jin. Tagging along by her side, Jun-ho’s all set to win her over with his mischievous antics and playful teasing — but he’s equally capable of earnest sincerity, too. “I need you, my teacher,” Jun-ho confesses, cupping Hye-jin’s cheek and gazing soulfully at the lady he’s always loved.

Helmed by PD Ahn Pan-seok (One Spring Night) with scripts penned by Park Kyung-hwa, The Midnight Romance in Hagwon will commence its first lesson on May 11.
