Yep, that's the actual title — and yes, we're already obsessed. 😮💨🔥
KBS2's new fantasy romance drama I Took the Male Lead's First Night finally locked in its premiere date: June 11 at 9:50PM KST — after a 3-month delay due to cultural heritage controversy. 🎬🇰🇷
What's it about?
A regular college girl suddenly wakes up inside a romance novel — not as the main character, but as a literal background NPC named Cha Seon-jaek (played by Seohyun). Then boom — she accidentally spends a night with Yi Beon (played by Taecyeon), the obsessive main lead. And just like that, the plot? Totally off the rails. 💥📖💘
Cue time-travel vibes, alternate dimensions, unexpected romance, and full-on "this wasn't in the script" energy. The teaser poster already has fans losing it — soft lighting, eye contact, tension you could cut with a knife… yep, we're here for the chaos AND the butterflies. 🦋👀
Even after the backlash over filming at UNESCO World Heritage site Byeongsan Seowon (👀), KBS scrapped all controversial footage, issued an official apology, and promised new filming guidelines. So yeah — they cleaned up and came back stronger.
The show promises modern escapism meets period drama fever dream, with plenty of "how did I end up here?" energy. ✨
