Sharing still cuts of its lead stars, the new tvN weekend series foreshadows the change in their relationship.
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.
