Fans of K-dramas are in for a treat with the upcoming romantic fantasy series The First Night with the Duke from KBS2. This drama promises a unique blend of romance, fantasy, and unexpected twists that will have viewers hooked from the first episode. In the newly released teaser, fans are given a glimpse into the dynamic between Seohyun from Girls’ Generation and Taecyeon from 2PM, set in a world where reality and fiction collide.
A Love Story That Breaks the Rules
The First Night with the Duke follows the story of an ordinary student who, without warning, finds herself transported into the world of her favorite romantic novel. But instead of becoming the heroine she expected, she ends up in the shoes of Cha Sun Chaek, a secondary character in the story. What starts as an innocent fantasy soon takes a dramatic turn when she shares a night with the main male lead—Yi Beon, a duke known for his obsessive and intense personality.
The teaser opens with Cha Sun Chaek, played by Seohyun, waking up in this fictional universe. Confused yet intrigued, she starts to recognize familiar settings and, most importantly, the charismatic Yi Beon, portrayed by Taecyeon. “He’s even more handsome than in my dreams,” she marvels, her eyes sparkling. “Even if this is a dream, I don’t want to wake up.”
But what should have been a fun, romantic fantasy takes a sudden and serious turn. Cha Sun Chaek, impulsively swept up in the moment, kisses Yi Beon, which leads to an unforgettable night. The following day, the duke, torn between shock and gravitas, coldly declares, “Seduction of a royal family member to steal their virginity… that’s high treason.”
What seemed like a lighthearted romance quickly morphs into a dilemma. Cha Sun Chaek finds herself trapped in a whirlwind of false identities, deception, and lies. “Is it either end this or marry him? Those are my options?” she exclaims, caught in a situation that is as absurd as it is captivating.
A Premiere to Look Forward To
The First Night with the Duke is set to premiere on June 11 at 9:50 PM (KST) on KBS2, and it’s already generating plenty of buzz with its unique premise. Fans can also catch Seohyun in Jinxed at First on Viki or Taecyeon in Secret Royal Inspector & Joy in the meantime.
This new drama combines romantic tension, satirical humor, and political intrigue, all set against a literary backdrop that promises to captivate audiences. Are you ready for a romance that breaks the rules? Don’t miss The First Night with the Duke when it premieres!
