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.
