The highly anticipated drama “Spring Fever” has announced its vibrant cast of teachers, setting the stage for a unique blend of romance and comedy. The series follows the emotional journey of Yoon Bom, portrayed by Lee Joo Bin, an emotionally distant high school teacher whose life takes a turn when she meets the passionate Seon Jae Gyu, played by Ahn Bo Hyun. The show is set to premiere on January 5, 2024, at 20:50 KST.
Newly released stills from the series showcase the teachers at Shinsu High School, each character bringing their own distinct story and personality. Yoon Bom, the enigmatic lead, was once a beloved figure in her previous school, known for her charm and popularity. Following an unexpected incident, she relocates to the quiet Shinsu Village, determined to lead a life detached from emotional connections. Her calm and indifferent demeanor creates intrigue among her colleagues and the local community.
Joining Lee Joo Bin are notable actors including Jin Kyung and Bae Jung Nam, who play pivotal roles as fellow teachers. Jin Kyung portrays Seo Hye Suk, a Korean language teacher and single mother of twins, known for her knack for meddling in the lives of her peers. Meanwhile, Bae Jung Nam takes on the role of Jung Jin Hyuk, the school’s physical education teacher, who was once a local idol. Now in middle age, he remains committed to caring for his ill mother while navigating his own romantic interests.
The character dynamics are set to evolve as Hye Suk and Jin Hyuk unexpectedly bond over jiu-jitsu classes with their fellow teachers. This shared experience ignites feelings between them, adding a layer of heartfelt middle-aged romance to the narrative.
The faculty ensemble is completed by Kim Byung Choon, Oh Man Seok, and Jung Young Ki. Kim plays Seok Gwan Soo, the school principal, characterized by his lack of authority and struggles to cope with life’s challenges, which promises comedic moments throughout the series. Oh Man Seok steps into the role of Hong Jung Pyo, a vice principal whose focus on side hustles often distracts him from his responsibilities as an educator. Jung Young Ki’s character, Wi Jung Hwan, serves as the mediator among the teachers, adding humor and depth to the interactions within the faculty.
“Spring Fever” is poised to capture audiences with its engaging storyline and well-defined characters, making it a must-watch for fans of romantic comedies. As anticipation builds for the premiere, viewers can catch Lee Joo Bin in her current series “Gaduri Restaurant” and Jin Kyung in “My Youth” to get a taste of their talents.
