Wi Ha Joon and Jung Ryeo Won are set to ignite the screen in tvN’s “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon”! Directed by Ahn Pan Seok of “Something in the Rain” fame, this new romance unfolds in Daechi, Korea’s private education hub.
In the last episode, Lee Joon Ho (played by Wi Ha Joon) was approached as the new face of the hagwon’s advertisements. Rather than accepting a solo, he proposed a joint appearance with Seo Hye Jin (played by Jung Ryeo Won), highlighting their intriguing teacher-student dynamic.
Newly released stills from the upcoming episode reveal Lee Joon Ho’s fervent attempts to persuade Seo Hye Jin to join him in this venture. Despite his efforts, Seo Hye Jin remains indifferent, staring back with an unimpressed look, leaving Joon Ho taken aback.
Another set of images shows a secretive late-night lesson between the two, with Seo Hye Jin at the podium and Joon Ho seated, marking their first face-to-face encounter in years.
As the plot thickens, the pair find themselves hiding in a darkened classroom, their proximity more intimate than ever. Seo Hye Jin’s startled expression as she looks up at Lee Joon Ho indicates the brewing tension and unexpected feelings.
The drama’s production team hinted at evolving dynamics, stating, “Seo Hye Jin and Lee Joon Ho will enter a new phase in their relationship as colleagues. Watch how their unfamiliar emotions develop over time.”
