Get ready for a unique story that explores the complexities of second chances and forbidden love. Veteran Korean language teacher, Seo Hye-jin (played by Jung Ryeo-won), has dedicated the past 14 years to her students at a prestigious Hagwon in Daechi-dong, Gangnam – a neighborhood known for its cutthroat academic pressure.
As Hye-jin contemplates her future and ponders a path beyond teaching, a familiar face from her past reappears, shaking things up completely. Lee Joon-ho (played by Wi Ha-joon), a former student of Hye-jin’s, returns to the Hagwon after a decade. Back then, he was a bit of a troublemaker, but Hye-jin’s dedication helped him secure a spot at a top university.
Here’s the twist: Joon-ho has harboured a secret affection for Hye-jin ever since his student days. Now, a grown man, he decides to take a chance on love and returns to the Hagwon, not just for nostalgia, but to become a teacher himself and finally confess his feelings to Hye-jin.
“The Midnight Romance in Hagwon” promises a delightful blend of genres that will keep you glued to the screen. The central romance between Hye-jin and Joon-ho will undoubtedly be the heart of the story. We can expect moments of sweet longing, playful flirtation, and the challenges of navigating a teacher-student age gap, even if it’s no longer an active dynamic.
