Staying up for Wie Ha-joon at The Midnight Romance in Hagwon
by tccolb
More promos have come sweeping in for tvN’s upcoming The Midnight Romance in Hagwon, where love awakens in the fog of hazy nights for Jung Ryeo-won (May It Please the Court) and Wie Ha-joon (Gyeongseong Creature) in the newest posters and video teaser.
Our hero’s intentions are heart-flutteringly clear, but star instructor Seo Hye-jin (Jung Ryeo-won) is a tangle of conflicted feelings – though she admits that Lee Jun-ho (Wie Ha-joon) has been on her mind. The teaser then gives us the quick backstory of our two leads, with Jun-ho once being a troublesome student at the hagwon who miraculously got accepted into a good college with Hye-jin’s tenacious tutoring.

Now, ten years later, Jun-ho decides to quit the corporate life and returns to the hagwon to apply as a new instructor. Hye-jin is concerned that Jun-ho will be taken advantage of by others, but her ranting is cut short by Jun-ho asking if these people include her. But our heroine is ever the worrier and while lost in thought, Hye-jin reminds herself that Jun-ho isn’t just Jun-ho anymore – he should now be called instructor Lee Jun-ho.
Speaking of the handsome devil, the tease tries a few “You up?” texts to get Hye-jin’s attention, using both formal and casual (omo) speech. Although Hye-jin giggles in amusement, she’s honest when she tells Jun-ho that she’s unsure how to react. Apparently Jun-ho hasn’t been dropping enough anvils about how he feels, so we’re treated to a charged scene as the teaser ends with Jun-ho confessing that he’s having a hard time holding back.
With direction in the hands of PD Ahn Pan-seok (One Spring Night, Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food) and scripts by Park Kyung-hwa, tvN’s The Midnight Romance in Hagwon will be launching on May 11.
