Loved “The Idea of You?” Don’t Miss “The Midnight Romance in Hagwon” Now Streaming on Rakuten Viki
Veteran Korean language teacher Seo Hye Jin (Jung Ryeo Won)’s stable and pressure-free life is unsettled by the return of her former pupil, the one-time troublemaker Lee Joon Ho (Wi Ha Joon). A decade ago, she helped him gain admission to a prestigious university, and he has admired her from afar ever since. In the pursuit of love, he gives up his job at a major company to become a Korean language teacher – and be closer to Hye Jin again. Will his plan work? And could this former teacher and student find love, despite their sizable age gap? This 2024 South Korean romance drama series was directed by Ahn Pan Seok.
The Midnight Romance in Hagwon, which follows a love affair between a former student and teacher, stars Squid Games actor Wi Ha Joon.
Loved The Idea of You? Well, you’re in luck, as things are heating up for seeing more and more content centralized around "older" women dating younger men on the screen. In fact, as many K-Drama fans know, the genre actually has a name (Noona Romances) for these types of shows that are only growing in popularity with viewers.
Enjoy!
