The fateful meeting between supporting character Seo Hyun and male lead Ok Taec Yeon is just around the corner.
The new KBS 2TV Wednesday-Thursday drama "I Took the Male Lead's First Night" (directed by Lee Woong Hee and Kang Soo Yeon, written by Jeon Sun Young, planned and produced by Studio N and Monster Union) is a 'no-brake' romance fantasy drama where the soul of an ordinary female college student inhabits a supporting character in a romance novel and spends a night with the novel's obsessive male lead. It promises to deliver an unpredictable, cliché-breaking romance that will provide thrilling emotional moments, and we have highlighted some key points to enhance viewer immersion.
#1. Seo Hyun, Ok Taec Yeon, Kwon Han Sol, Seo Bum Jun, Ji Hye Won: Fresh Chemistry of Youthful Actors Who Came Out of a Novel!
"I Took the Male Lead's First Night" is garnering attention with the meeting of Seo Hyun (playing the role of Cha Seon Chaek) and Ok Taec Yeon (playing the role of Ibeon). The two actors, with their stable acting skills and strong presence, play the supporting character and the male lead, showcasing an exciting and unexpected chemistry.
Additionally, the solid lineup of fresh energy actors, including Kwon Han Sol (playing Jo Eun Ae), Seo Bum Jun (playing Jeong Su Gyeom), and Ji Hye Won (playing Do Hwa Seon), who embody the clichés of traditional romance novels, adds to the visual appeal. The characters, from the female lead to the kind-hearted supporting male and the intense villain, may seem typical but are brought to life by actors who possess multidimensional charm, making their performances highly anticipated.
#2. Did the Supporting Character 'Awaken the Obsessive Male Lead'?! An Unpredictable, High-Speed Romance Raises Endorphins!
In the drama, Cha Seon Chaek (played by Seo Hyun) is a supporting character with little presence in the romance novel, but one day, the soul of an ordinary female college student, a passionate reader of the novel, suddenly inhabits her, making her a central figure that shakes the flow of the story. Especially, after spending the first night with the male lead Ibeon (played by Ok Taec Yeon), the previously tyrannical Ibeon suddenly shifts to a direct approach towards Seon Chaek.
This fateful meeting between the supporting character, who had no chance of encountering the obsessive male lead, goes beyond simple romance to deliver a diverse narrative with unique enjoyment. Above all, the fast-paced development and fresh settings that twist clichés are expected to significantly raise viewers' heart rates. It raises curiosity about how these characters, who break away from the formulas of romance novels, will write their own stories.
