Okay, be honest, have you ever watched a teaser so dramatic you had to pause and scream into a pillow? Because SAME. The new teaser for The First Night With the Duke Kdrama just dropped, and whew… Taecyeon is not playing. Like, at all.
This is not your slow-burn romance. This is “Oops, I woke up next to the prince and now he wants to marry me” level chaos, and I am here for it.
So, What’s the Setup?
Picture this: You’re just trying to stay lowkey in a fantasy romance novel (because, yes, you accidentally fell into one), and then boom, you wake up after a wild night next to the male lead.
That’s exactly what happens to Cha Sun Chaek, played by Seohyun. She was supposed to be a minor character. A background extra. The girl behind the girl. But one drunken night changes everything.
Honestly, I’d be panicking too.
Enter Prince Yi Beon aka Taecyeon in Full Possessive Mode
Now let’s talk about Taecyeon’s new drama version of a prince:
Cold. Powerful. Intense. And suddenly very into you after one night.
Instead of pretending it didn’t happen, he gets on his royal high horse and says in front of everyone, “I intend to marry Cha Sun Chaek.”
Sir, can we please breathe?!
But also… yes.
When Yi Beon says, “We spent the first night together, so of course we should take responsibility for each other,” something starts to shift in Cha Sun Chaek’s heart.
And suddenly, this isn’t just a royal mess, it might be something real.
Seohyun’s Like, “No Thanks,” but Fate Says Otherwise
Our girl Cha Sun Chaek? She wants NONE of this.
She literally tries to convince him, “I’m just a minor character!”
And Taecyeon, without blinking, goes, “You didn’t choose me. I chose you.”
I don’t know whether to swoon or run.
Probably both. With snacks.
And of Course… There’s a Love Triangle (Or Maybe a Square?)
Because what is a K-Drama without a little (or a lot) of mess?
Jo Eun Ae suddenly steps up and corners the second lead, Jung Soo Gyeom.
Guess what? He confesses… but not to her. To Cha Sun Chaek.
And to spice things up, the classic villainess Do Hwa Seon waltzes right into Yi Beon’s room.
Sis, read the room!
The Chemistry? OFF. THE. CHARTS.
One still from the teaser has Seohyun and Taecyeon locking eyes before the kiss.
Like, the moment before everything explodes emotionally.
You know the one.
It’s giving royal tension.
It’s giving fantasy chaos.
It’s giving me life.
