“Midnight Romance in Hagwon” (old name: Graduation/roughly translated: Romantic Night in Hagwon) is the new project of Ahn Pan Seok - a director who has produced many famous romantic movies such as “Beautiful sister buys delicious rice for me", "Spring Night", "Secret Love"...
Set in Daechi - a famous neighborhood as a private education center in Korea, the film revolves around Seo Hye Jin (Jung Ryeo Won) - a lecturer who tries to guide Lee Joon Ho (Wi Ha Joon) to be accepted into a prestigious university.
Thanks to this success, Seo Hye Jin became a famous lecturer in the industry. 10 years later, Seo Hye Jin met again Lee Joon Ho after he decided to quit his job at a large company and return to academia as a rookie instructor.
The reason is because he still has feelings for his first love - who is also his lecturer. At first, Seo Hye Jin strongly objected to this, but Lee Joon Ho still tried to approach her. Thanks to that daring student, the life of a lecturer who "doesn't know what failure is" will have many unexpected changes.
Along with confirming the film will be released on May 11.5, the producer also revealed the first image of the two main characters - Seo Hye Jin and Lee Joon Ho, as they stand together in an umbrella in a small alley. in Daechi district (Hagwon, Korea).
According to the production team: "Like the rain gradually wetting the ground, the romantic story of the main couple promises to touch the hearts of viewers, mixed with feelings of excitement. We hope you will look forward to the interesting combination created by Jung Ryeo Won, Wi Ha Joon and director Ahn Pan Seok."
According to the media, initially "Resident Playbook" starring Go Yoon Jung was announced as a project to connect "Queen of Tears" by Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won.
However, concerns arose after a wave of resident doctors in Korea resigned, causing a significant staff shortage in major hospitals, so the manufacturer had to reconsider the timing. release point.
As a result, “Midnight Romance in Hagwon” was pushed to air earlier. Although it is expected because it is a project directed by a director famous for romantic love films, Wi Ha Joon is not a very famous actor in this genre.
Meanwhile, Jung Ryeo Won became famous when participating in "My name is Kim Sam Soon", and then the films "King of TV", "Princess Ja Myung", "Celebrity Doctor Team" … However, in the past few years, her works have not resonated.
On the other hand, in the first image released by the producer, the difference in adultery between Wi Ha Joon and Jung Ryeo Won also made many people worry that when the movie aired, the interaction between the two actors would be awkward. However, there is still a possibility that the acting skills of both will "save" the above obstacles.
