The plot stumbles along at a snail&#8217;s pace, with filler episodes more frequent than pop quizzes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drama misses that spark of excitement and plot twists we K-drama fans crave. It&#8217;s a decent watch, but nothing that will leave you desperately hitting refresh for the next episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PlotStory_60\"><\/span>Plot\/Story: 6.0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This drama about Lee Jun Ho and Hye Jin&#8217;s <em>hagwontastic<\/em> love story wasn&#8217;t all it cracked up to be. The premise had potential, but the execution fell flatter than a kimchi pancake that forgot the batter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plot meandered slower than a hungover sloth, and filler episodes were more common than students acing their TOPIK exams. The villain&#8217;s motives were about as convincing as <em>aegyo<\/em> from a grumpy <em>ahjussi<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ActingCast_75\"><\/span>Acting\/Cast: 7.5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The acting is one of the drama&#8217;s stronger aspects. <a href=\"https:\/\/asianwiki.com\/Wi_Ha-Joon\" title=\"\">Wi Ha Joon<\/a> and Jung Ryeo Won deliver solid performances as the main couple, bringing charm and likability to their roles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/saranghero.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Picture5-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saranghero.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Picture5-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/saranghero.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Picture5-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/saranghero.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Picture5-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/saranghero.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Picture5.jpg 848w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wi Ha Joon, in particular, stands out with his portrayal of the awkward yet earnest Lee Jun Ho. The supporting cast includes notable performances, especially So Ju Yeon and Seo Jung Yeon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the lack of development for many supporting characters limits their impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OSTMusic_65\"><\/span>OST\/Music: 6.5<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music in &#8220;The Midnight Romance in Hagwon&#8221; is a mixed bag. The recurring song used throughout the series initially adds emotional depth but becomes monotonous due to overuse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the musical montages are a hallmark of director Ahn Pan Seok\u2019s style, they fail to resonate as strongly in this drama. The soundtrack is decent but not memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rewatch_Value_60\"><\/span>Rewatch Value: 6.0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ugh, this drama was a one-and-done kind of situation. The pacing was slower than a snail on sleeping pills, and the side plots went nowhere faster than a deflated <em>souffl\u00e9<\/em>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t get me wrong, the main couple&#8217;s love story was cute and had swoon-worthy moments, but overall, the drama wasn&#8217;t exciting or deep enough to rewatch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe I&#8217;ll revisit some scenes for my OTP [One True Pairing], but nah, the whole series lacked that addictive quality we K-drama fans crave. Sadly, this one gets a 6.0 from me.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Verdict\"><\/span>Final Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ending was like a rollercoaster ride&#8230;but one that stopped way too soon. The main couple finally achieved their dream <em>#relationshipgoals<\/em>, but the villain&#8217;s whole arc felt rushed. Like, what happened next?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did they just skip out of town or something? And don&#8217;t even get me started on the side characters! They were all so interesting at first, but then their stories just fizzled out. <strong>So much wasted potential!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look, if you&#8217;re looking for a chill watch with your favorite actors, this drama might be okay. But if you crave a plot that&#8217;ll leave you wanting more, skip it. It doesn&#8217;t quite live up to the K-drama hype, especially considering the director&#8217;s past work.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This one could have been a total winner with a stronger script.&nbsp; Hopefully, the next drama will be a return to form!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What do you think about this K-drama?
