The lead stars of tvN’s new weekend series herald a realistic melodrama with different emotional depths.
The Midnight Romance depicts the exciting and sweet midnight romance between star instructor Seo Hye-jin (Jung Ryeo Won) and Lee Jun-ho (Wi Ha Jun), a cheeky student who appears as a new instructor. The romance that comes when night falls in Daechi-dong, as well as the colorful stories of academy instructors you didn’t know about, unfold interestingly.
The Midnight Romance is a new work of Director Ahn Pan Suk famed for his works, Something in the Rain, One Spring Night and Secret Love Affair.
Pairing up Hye-jin, a “first love character” and Lee Jun-ho, “a provocative young man” adds excitement to this anticipated drama.
Jung Ryeo Won plays Seo Hye-jin, a star instructor of 14 years. She has solid strength and is a quiet fighter who does not give up. Just as she was thinking about her past dreams and life after leaving the academy, Lee Jun-ho, a cheeky student whom he had put all her effort into sending to a prestigious university, brings about an unexpected deviation in her reality.
Wi Ha Jun portrays Lee Jun-ho, a new instructor who returns after 10 years and stirs up teacher Seo Hye-jin’s daily life and mind. Lee Jun-ho throws away his employee ID card from a large company that guarantees him a solid career and returns to the academy which brought a dramatic turnaround in his life. After reading the unfamiliar feelings of Hye-jin, who vehemently opposed the love signals, he begins to go straight ahead.

Newly revealed teasers show Hye-jin and Jun-ho who are excited from the moment they make eye contact.
In the classroom at Daechi-dong Academy after midnight, where all the students have left and only the two remain, there is a different tension in the classroom. Although the two people are seated with a desk in between, the distance is only about a span.
Seo Hye-jin, who has put aside her thorough-going attitude for a moment, is looking up at Lee Jun-ho in a comfortable and languid posture. Her eyes look at her old student, who appears as a new instructor for the first time in 10 years, and her curiosity and unfamiliar excitement are also evident.
Seo Hye-jin’s subsequent words, “Teacher Lee Jun-ho, I care about you,” show that something is changing in her mind.
Lee Jun-ho’s eyes as he looks lovingly at Seo Hye-jin, his life teacher and first love, are also interesting. His eyes, which meet Seo Hye-jin’s gaze, are full of affection. Added to this, the straightforward confession, “Teacher Seo Hye-jin, I kept you in my heart from the beginning” raises expectations.
Attention is focused on what kind of waves the emotions of the two people, who finally began to meet each other after a 10-year time gap, will create in the hearts of viewers.
The Midnight Romance premieres on May 11 at 9:20 p.m. on tvN!
