The Midnight Romance in Hagwon episode 14 recap: Wi Ha-Joon & Jung Ryeo-Won navigate challenges
This week’s episode 14 of The Midnight Romance in Hagwon began with Hye-Jin confessing her love for Joon-Ho and asking him to love her even more now that she needed him. The following morning, Joon-Ho’s parents discussed their displeasure with his relationship. Hye-Jin lied to Joon-Ho about being late to the academy. Meanwhile, Joon-Ho decided to face the challenges head-on.
Fellow academy teachers decided on the next course of action. Led by English Department team leader Yoon Ji-Seok, they addressed the issue at hand when Hye-Jin entered the room. Just as she was about to give her statement, Joon-Ho arrived, wondering how Hye-Jin arrived earlier than him. When Korean Department Team 2 leader Lee Myung-Joon made scandalous claims about the relationship, Joon-Ho fought with him.
Their air was even more tense outside the academy because of Hye-Jin’s relationship with her former student, Joon-Ho. Moreover, the parents were also against Hye-Jin’s new teaching method of preferring knowledge over exam questions and predictions. Rumors about the relationship spread like wildfire. Meanwhile, rival academy Choiseon Korean director Choi Hyeong-Seon enjoyed her increasing success. She decided to rent out Daechi Chase, predicting the academy’s downfall after the incident.
Later in the day, Daechi Chase director Kim Hyun-Tak apologized to assistant director Woo Sung-Hee, but it yielded no results. The latter decided to take the academy’s teachers by offering them more incentives. Back at the academy, Social Studies team leader Min Hee-Joo confronted Yoon Ji-Seok over his actions. She discovered how Woo Sung-Hee had planned it all out, and Lee Myung-Joo supported her by spreading scandalous rumors outside.
Meanwhile, Hye-Jin broke down after student Ha-Yool’s mother maliciously accused her of having an affair. Joon-Ho, on the other hand, faced the students’ sarcasm but held his head high and confronted them. As the rest of the office navigated the change, rookie instructor Nam Cheong-Mi supported Hye-Jin. At Choiseon Korean, Hyeong-Seon blackmailed assistant director Pyo Sang-Seob to follow her methods or get fired.
Many parents enrolled their students in Choiseon Korean and left Daechi Chase. Amidst a crumbling academy, Nam Cheong-Mi expressed her support to Hye-Jin. Meanwhile, Joon-Ho left Hye-Jin a note for everyone to see. While he met with director Kim Hyun-Tak, Cheong-Mi decided to get into a relationship with Joon-Ho’s best friend, Choi Sung-Gyu.
By the end of the episode, Joon-Ho met with Kim Hyun-Tak for dinner. The latter advised Joon-Ho to quit Daechi Chase, but Joon-Ho expressed his desire to stay and support Hye-Jin and the academy. Joon-Ho eventually broke down, blaming himself for entering the academy and into Hye-Jin’s life. He worried about the academy’s future and if his actions led to Hye-Jin’s professional downfall. Just then, Hye-Jin entered to witness Joon-Ho crying.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Hye-Jin and Joon-Ho’s relationship. Viewers will have to wait to discover if the two salvage their relationship and the academy.
