Seohyun and Ok Taecyeon's offbeat romance accelerates in the KBS2 drama 'The First Night of the Main Character'.
In the premiere episode aired on the 11th, the drama introduced viewers to K, a college student and avid romance novel reader, who finds herself living in the world of her favorite novel as a minor character named Cha Seon-chek, played by Seohyun. Initially a background character with no lines, Cha Seon-chek becomes entangled with the main characters, leading to a drunken first night with the male lead, Lee Beom, played by Ok Taecyeon, sparking the beginnings of a romance.
As Cha Seon-chek's actions begin to alter the original storyline, she desperately tries to set things right. However, Lee Beom becomes increasingly obsessed with her. Her drunken words, spoken in 'true fan' mode, resonate deeply with Lee Beom, who has led a lonely life. Falling for Cha Seon-chek instead of the main female character, Lee Beom fervently proposes, pushing Cha Seon-chek to the brink, causing her to faint from shock.
With an unpredictable and thrilling narrative captivating viewers, the upcoming episodes 3 and 4 promise to reveal how the sweet yet perilous chase between Cha Seon-chek and Lee Beom unfolds.
Cha Seon-chek is determined to thwart Lee Beom's relentless pursuit of marriage. Despite various escape attempts and psychological tactics, his obsession shows no signs of waning. Viewers eagerly anticipate the ingenious strategies Cha Seon-chek will employ to break free from his grasp.
Meanwhile, Lee Beom's formidable and stormy actions are set to intensify. Known for his cold-blooded demeanor, Lee Beom has shown he will stop at nothing, including city lockdowns and threats, to win Cha Seon-chek's heart. The question remains whether he can penetrate her defenses and win her over.
'The First Night of the Main Character' recorded a 3% viewership rating for its first two episodes. Given the recent low ratings for KBS dramas, this is considered a promising achievement.
