The Midnight Romance in Hagwon Episode 8

pure fluff

Now this is the episode that cements this drama as a romcom. We have Hye Jin and Jun Ho finally agree to be together, and with that, we also get to see how sweet they are with each other. I enjoyed the episode in a romantic aspect! They're very cute as a couple and they do have chemistry. I loved the scene with Hye Jin and her friend and how vulnerable she was in that moment admitting that Jun Ho was her guiding hope during what was the worst time of her life, and also admitting that he was always special to her, in that he was always more than a student. I just love Hye Jin as a character, and she's very cute in the romance too, but I think it's almost a disservice just to have her romance spotlighted, only because she's so interesting as a whole. She's capable of more than just this relationship, but I don't mind seeing them happy together.

I would like for the drama to spin back into the workings of the hagwon environment, probably because that part is the most interesting to me. But we shall see! It looks like from the preview that Hye Jin and Jun Ho will see if keeping the relationship secret actually works, or if Jun Ho at some point will want them to go public.
