The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Spring Fever, starring actors Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Joo-bin, captured the hearts of viewers from its first broadcast, marking a pleasant start.
The first episode of Spring Fever, which premiered on the 5th, focused on the intense meeting between the cold-natured teacher Yoon Bom and the passionately warm Seon Jae-kyu, drawing attention to the home theater. It recorded an average viewership rating of 4.8% and a peak rating of 6.1% based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide paid households, signaling a smooth start, while showcasing its strength by ranking first in the target viewership rating of 2049 across all channels during the same time slot, including terrestrial channels.
In this broadcast, Yoon Bom's daily life was introduced, having transformed from a popular teacher in Seoul to a voluntary outsider in Sinsoo-eup. Although he tries to live quietly while keeping his distance from the villagers, his nightly struggles with mysterious nightmares aroused curiosity about the background of his descent into the village.
The person who caused a stir in Yoon Bom's quiet life was Seon Jae-kyu, who is considered the number one target of the village. Seon Jae-kyu, who would go to any lengths for his nephew Seon Han-gyeol, encountered Yoon Bom while visiting the school regarding his nephew's award issue. He left a strong impression by boldly complimenting Yoon Bom as a beauty upon their first meeting.
In particular, a scene where Seon Jae-kyu mentions in a conversation with his close associates that Yoon Bom does not recognize him aired, laying the groundwork for the backstory of their past connection. Viewers are intrigued by what the story is that only Seon Jae-kyu remembers about the two.
Towards the end of the broadcast, a strange atmosphere flowed between the two as they met again for a parent-teacher consultation. Seon Jae-kyu approached Yoon Bom without hesitation, calling him by his name, Bom-ah, and Yoon Bom's flustered reaction hinted at the beginning of a full-fledged romance.
How the unpredictable Seon Jae-kyu will break down Yoon Bom's fortress-like daily life, and their story full of excitement can be checked every Monday and Tuesday night on tvN's Spring Fever.
