I know right. Guy really spent nearly 40 years in a onesided crush, and on his friend's girl too like 😅😅…
No. The FL & ML & Their whole friendgroup gang in the smalltown of Samdalri where they all grew up together, are all like 37 years of age IN PRESENT TIME. Then it flashes back to to their childhood (mostly to their teen years so played by JCW & SHS most flashbacks).
The 2ML just like ML, liked FL SINCE EARLY CHILDHOOD into their nearly 40 years of age present time. 😅
So rather than jump forward, it jumps BACKWARD in time with flashbacks. I usually dońt even like dramas with flashbacks, but here it was handled well with most flashbacks only at start of eps and in ending epilogues, and not all the time disrupting flow, like most flashback dramas do.
You're probably just too young for this drama. There comes a point in life where age gaps begins to not matter at all...Usually you realize this when older, and suddenly those of us who where hard against young man/woman, for us it begins to not look so bad after all, despite being dead set against it before, and even preferring older before. 😂
I’m not worried at all that this age gap romance will have no chemistry .. because this is by director Ahn Pan…
Yes not only is he a great PDnim, but he somehow keeps casting some of my fav actors in every single drama of his lol. So I'm grateful for him for not only his great projects, but also for having such great taste in actors and always boosting my favs with his great dramas lol 😂😍
They may or may not change this too long title.... Regardless I don't give a f....I'm not calling it this full name. Everything else shorter goes. : "Midnights in Hagwon" "Midnight Romance". "In Hagwon" "Hagwon Midnights". "Hagwon Romance" .
Sad for Hospital Playlist fans looking forward to the spinoff,
Good news for those of us Looking more forward to Midnight Romance In Hagwon/Graduation (I refuse to use the unnecessary "The" which makes title too long) 🥰
Why is the change to the name different from an original which was closer title translation? Google translate…
They do this 90% of the time in k ent when giving english drama title. 😅 First they release the literal english translation.
But then they eventually come up with their own English title, that has absolutely nothing to do with the literal title. 😅
....I'm guessing the new english titles are for marketing purposes, to come up with a more Global "would sell in any culture" as ifans might be sold a drama better w a different english title than in Korea with a different culture. In other words, don't overthink it, it's likely just some strategic copywriting. 😅
" the romance between Shin Yoon Bok, a man from Seongsan Village who's equipped with Confucian ideas, and a woman named Kim Hond Do who is a modern female teacher who is also reckless with her life."
....I hope the RECKLESS part extends to downright pushy Anti-hero antics. 😂 That way, this actress can really show her capability similar to her great Villain roles, and not the snooz-fest FLs she's played.
I like this ML, but frankly not a fan of this actress in Lead FL roles.
She is really suited to the villain roles where there is more SPICE to the character. On her own she simply gives too plain vibes to be interesting as a FL and lacks the likeability factor to carry a show as FL. All her FL roles have been zzzzzz...While she impressed with her villain roles.
I'm not saying she is BAD actress, on the contrary, she is a phenomenomal actress..AS A VILLAIN ROLE.
.....So unless the FL is also an Anti-hero type, I'm afraid this FL will bore viewers to sleep. 🤦🏽♀️

GC was plagued by such boring writing, had to force myself to finish it. Won't be watching s 2.

Been stuck at only 7-8 star shows for ages!
Drama of the year so far! 🔥🔥
No historical genre tag, but the ML character description "Scholar with Confusian ideas" sounds historical.....
"Midnights in Hagwon" "Midnight Romance". "In Hagwon" "Hagwon Midnights". "Hagwon Romance" .
😂🤷🏻♀️
Those all seem like potentially great romance dramas too! 🥰

Praying screaming and kicking that the FL is an Anti-hero type here. 😅
