Probably not. It seems they'll be business partners, and whatever focus there will be on (past) romance will likely be related to Kim Soo-hyun's character and his ex, played by Jo Bo-ah. But it's a black comedy drama and not a romance drama, so I wouldn't expect much.

It has not been renewed for S2 yet. It will depend on whether it is successful.

Si-woo is so adorable! I hope we see more of him and that he'll be a student they'll follow all the way to university admissions. They seemed to hint at that with the parallels with Jun-ho. Loving this so far!

He posted about Hierarchy on his IG story, I wonder if he might have a small role in that.

It's such an interesting cultural difference that Koreans seem to expect that their reality is not portrayed in any media. Driving after having a beer or a bit of soju is super common. Accidents related to DUIs are super common. The character in this drama was distraught after being attacked left and right, and probably wouldn't even think of how she had some soju hours earlier. But because it's "bad behavior" it can't be portrayed, despite its realism? It takes some getting used to all this outrage about everything.

Loving Midnight Romance in Hagwon! It was back up in ratings for episode four to about what it was for the first two episodes. Guessing the Saturday drop was in part due to Chief Detective 1958's finale.

Based on the story that wouldn't really make sense. She's Kim Soohyun's ex/first love, while Kim Shieun is his current business partner, so it's natural that she would be the main FL.

Yes

Depends on your region. It's 13+ for me. Most of Europe it will be 13+ or 15+.

I'm so excited about this! Teaser looks great and Chaemin looks even better 🤩

Proportionality is a key principle in law, and what he's being put through for abusing prescription drugs for his own personal use simply is not proportionate to his crime. They don't need six trials when he has admitted wrongdoing and they have lab evidence, with months in between, calling one witness per trial, dragging it out as much as they can. The police have also continously been leaking information to the press, which is also against the law (and they do this all the time in high-profile cases, including leading up to Lee Sun-kyun's suicide).

Any fair and humane justice system would get on with it so that he can start serving his sentence, get the help and rehabilitation he needs, and then continue on with the rest of his life. Justice is not meant to be malicious.

Absolutely crazy to drag this out the way they are doing. A sixth (!) trial in June? For a simple personal-use only drug case? It's like they learned nothing from what happened to Lee Sun-kyun. Madness.

Still 6 months until it's airing, plenty of time to work around Bogum's other commitments.

Rumored premiere date is November 16. 🤩

Seems rather premature after two episodes to suggest they know where this story will go with this. Suggesting fictional teachers (or doctors or whatever other important profession) can't make mistakes and act irrational because it's bad for their real-life counterparts also sounds quite silly to me.

Loved the first episodes of Midnight Romance in Hagwon. That Ahn Pan-seok itch needed scratching.

Looks like both leads are confirmed to appear! It also seems like this won't be a weekend drama, which makes sense since youth-oriented dramas usually aren't (e.g. Twinkling Watermelon, Lovely Runner).

Another day, another casting for Chaemin! He's truly looking like the next big thing. 🤩

Saying the first half was boring is actually insane to me because I was on the edge of my seat during the discussion between the FL and the school teacher. That was TENSE. And so well-written. It was thrilling and a perfect way to showcase the FL's character to viewers.
