2026 tvN's first romantic comedy of the winter, "Spring Fever," which will warm this winter, unveiled its script reading scene.
The new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Spring Fever," scheduled to premiere on Jan. 5, 2026 (Mon) (directed by Park Won-guk / written by Kim A-jeong / planned by CJ ENM STUDIOS / produced by Bon Factory), is a hot pink spring romance that will melt the frozen hearts of teacher Yoon Bom (played by Lee Joo-bin), who feels the biting wind, and the man with a burning heart, Seon Jae-gyu (played by Ahn Bo-hyun).
"Spring Fever" confirmed the cast with top trending actors Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Joo-bin, as well as Cha Seo-won, Jo Joon-young, Lee Jae-in, Jin Kyung, and Bae Jung-nam, drawing attention even before broadcast. In addition, Park Won-guk, the director of "Marry My Husband," which recorded the highest ratings in tvN Monday-Tuesday drama history, is directing, quickly elevating it to one of 2026's most anticipated works.
Meanwhile, today (the 27th) the script reading scene for "Spring Fever" was 공개되어, raising viewers' expectations. Director Park Won-guk and writer Kim A-jeong, along with Ahn Bo-hyun (as Seon Jae-gyu), Lee Joo-bin (as Yoon Bom), Cha Seo-won (as Choi Yi-joon), Jo Joon-young (as Seon Han-gyeol), Lee Jae-in (as Choi Se-jin), Jin Kyung (as Seo Hye-sook), and Bae Jung-nam (as Jung Jin-hyeok) — the actors who will lead the drama — gathered in one place to take their first breaths together.
First, Ahn Bo-hyun immersed himself perfectly in the role of Seon Jae-gyu, the uncle of Seon Han-gyeol (played by Jo Joon-young), a person of interest who stirs up the village with unpredictable actions. He portrayed the Seon Jae-gyu character cheerfully with delicate expressiveness and, true to being from Busan, added flavorful dialect acting that brought smiles to the set.
Lee Joo-bin transformed completely into Yoon Bom, a high school teacher who aroused the villagers' curiosity, immediately capturing attention. She interpreted the "outsider teacher" Yoon Bom, who has a fragile heart beneath a cold exterior, in her own way. From the script reading, Lee Joo-bin emitted perfect rom-com chemistry with Ahn Bo-hyun, raising expectations for the unique flutter they will create.
Cha Seo-won, Jo Joon-young, and Lee Jae-in also showed their presence. Cha Seo-won transformed into the flawless elite lawyer Choi Yi-joon, provoking curiosity about what role he will play between Jae-gyu and Yoon Bom in the story. Jo Joon-young, who plays Seon Han-gyeol, the unquestioned No. 1 at Sinsu High School and Jae-gyu's only nephew, and Lee Jae-in, who plays Choi Se-jin, the perennial No. 2 at Sinsu High and Han-gyeol's anti-fan, present a youth romance that swings between rivalry and excitement, injecting vitality into the drama. In addition, the scene-stealer squad that appears as Sinsu High teachers — Jin Kyung, Bae Jung-nam, Kim Byung-chun, Oh Man-seok, and Jeong Young-gi — are expected to further enhance the work's entertainment value.
After the script reading, Ahn Bo-hyun said, "Characters with visuals we've never seen before appear," and added, "The script was really fun, and I was attracted to the uncle role and the dialect lines, which I'm trying for the first time. I think it will be a drama that viewers can watch while laughing." Lee Joo-bin said the viewing points are "the pretty scenery, the village landscape that refreshes the eyes, and the witty gag code," and added, "Not only Jae-gyu and Bom, but the back-and-forth between students and teachers is good, and a hidden card comes out, so there will be fun in watching that friend too."
In this way, "Spring Fever" heralds the birth of a rom-com that transcends tastes. The distinctive hot-pink romance created by two contrasting protagonists, as well as the diverse charms such as high school students' coming-of-age narratives, are set to captivate home viewers. The rom-com, once again proven by a trusted production team, leaves viewers even more eager for the broadcast of "Spring Fever," which will generate synergy when combined with the actors' perfect chemistry.
tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama "Spring Fever," which will color living rooms with hot-pink excitement, will premiere on Jan. 5, 2026 (Mon) at 8:50 p.m.
