Seohyun and Taecyeon Tease a Fantasy Romance in ‘Stole the First Night of the Male Lead’

KBS 2TV’s much-anticipated Wednesday-Thursday drama Stole the First Night of the Male Lead has unveiled two captivating character posters that offer a glimpse into the fantasy romance between lead characters played by Seohyun and Taecyeon. The series is set to premiere on June 11 at 9:50 PM KST.

The drama follows a unique premise: a modern-day college student finds herself inside a romance novel, possessing the body of a background character named Cha Seon-jaek. Her accidental one-night encounter with the novel’s obsessive male lead, Lee Hwi—played by 2PM’s Taecyeon—sparks an unpredictable love story brimming with fantasy and emotional intensity.

In her character poster, Seohyun’s Cha Seon-jaek radiates wide-eyed curiosity. Donning a delicate sky-blue hanbok and soft pink skirt, she peers through a telescope as if exploring the unfamiliar world of the novel. Her playful expression hints at a blend of bewilderment and hope, setting the tone for her journey through the fictional universe.

In contrast, Taecyeon’s Lee Hwi exudes stoic intensity. Dressed in traditional dark robes and a Korean gat, his stern gaze and firm grip on a sword capture the essence of a man bound by duty and internal conflict. Yet beneath this chilling exterior lies a passionate heart that charges headfirst into love, emphasizing the dramatic contrast between his cold demeanor and fervent emotions.

The poster duo reflects the drama’s core tension: a light-hearted soul forced into a serious narrative alongside an unwaveringly obsessed male lead. As the story explores the bendable boundaries of fate, fans can expect a rollercoaster of emotions, twists, and undeniable chemistry between the leads.

“Watch how the quirky blend of a real-world college student and a fictional obsessive male lead crafts a fresh storyline and emotional arc,” the production team stated. “Seohyun and Taecyeon’s compelling synergy will immerse viewers into an uncharted romantic narrative.”

Promising a bold twist on classic fantasy romance, Stole the First Night of the Male Lead will air its first episode on Wednesday, June 11, at 9:50 PM on KBS 2TV.
