The straight-ahead moment of "Spring Fever," which hits you from the start, has heated up viewers worldwide.
In episodes 1 and 2 of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Spring Fever (directed by Park Won-guk, written by Kim A-jeong), which premiered on the 5th at 8:50 p.m., chilly teacher Yoon Bom (Lee Joo-been) and the man with a burning heart, Seon Jae-gyu (Ahn Bo-hyun), begin to become entangled in earnest, kick-starting their romance.
Global viewers' reactions have also been notable. According to the FlixPatrol chart (an OTT service rankings aggregation site), Spring Fever ranked No. 2 worldwide in the Amazon Prime Video "TV SHOWS" category three days after its release (on Jan. 7). In particular, it entered the top 10 in a total of 34 countries, and it even captured the No. 1 spot in Malaysia and Thailand.
Also, most of the related digital clips used in advance exceeded 1 million views each, achieving the highest pre-release marketing view counts in tvN drama history, and the online response has been remarkable. Viewers have poured out enthusiastic reactions such as "Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Joo-been sized-up chemistry passes," "I've never seen this type of male lead before," and "The director of My Name Does Not Disappoint," prompting us today (the 10th) to highlight the memorable lines that instantly melted viewers' frozen hearts.
#A line from Seon Jae-gyu aimed at Yoon Bom: "Mi.in"
Seon Jae-gyu, the town's number-one target of suspicion, upon first meeting Yoon Bom, the homeroom teacher of his nephew Seon Han-gyeol (Cho Junyoung), tossed out the single line "Mi.in" without hesitation, announcing the start of his nonstop straight-ahead romance. Yoon Bom, who had been living a bland life, began to be shaken by Seon Jae-gyu's blunt advances that she could not stop even if she wanted to, and it became the decisive blow that immediately made their relationship special.
#Seon Jae-gyu charges ahead regardless of timing: "Bom-ah~"
When Seon Jae-gyu and Yoon Bom meet again at the school for individual parent-teacher conferences, the temperature gap between them became even more pronounced. Yoon Bom appeared for the conference neatly dressed, while Seon Jae-gyu arrived in the meeting carrying a money tree plant as tall as he is with his bare hands, showcasing an unusual presence. He then showed interest in Yoon Bom, asking, "How old are you? Is Yoon the family name and Bom the given name?" and rushed toward her with the unreserved address "Bom-ah~." Seon Jae-gyu's flirting, which ignores timing, sends ripples through Yoon Bom's everyday life and raises expectations for future developments.
#How Seon Jae-gyu comforts Yoon Bom: "When you're depressed, sweet things are best" with macarons
Afterward, Seon Jae-gyu and Yoon Bom unintentionally kept becoming entangled. When Yoon Bom wavered because of past wounds, Seon Jae-gyu stayed by her side in a rough but sincere way. The macarons he offered along with the simple words "When you're depressed, sweet things are best" served as Seon Jae-gyu's distinctive consolation, gradually melting Yoon Bom's heart and creating a flutter.
In this way, Spring Fever unfolds the charm of the irresistibly masculine Seon Jae-gyu, a rustic fatal-attraction man, and the changes in Yoon Bom as she is gradually shaken by him in an engrossing way through punchy memorable lines and unpredictable straight-ahead romance, making not only living rooms at home but also global viewers' hearts stir after only two episodes.
