Actor Wi Ha Joon Is Finally Returning To Romance, But Reactions Are Mixed
2021 saw the rise of Netflix’s Squid Game, catapulting numerous stars into the international spotlight. Actor Wi Ha Joon, who starred as the police officer searching for his brother, impressed many with his performance.
Wi Ha Joon originally got his start in 2012, appearing in the short film Peace in Them. Following this, he had many other roles, earning critical acclaim for his role in Romance Is A Bonus Book.
Since then, the actor has not appeared in any romance drama, meaning fans were initially excited when it was announced he would star in the upcoming series Graduation. It isabout a male student at an academy who continued only thinking about his first love even after becoming an adult.
According to the drama synopsis, the first love was his academy teacher. Many have assumed that this character is who actress Jung Ryeo Won is in talks for.
Once confirmed, there will likely be talk about the ten-year age gap between Jung Ryeo Won and Wi Ha Joon, as these age differences have been received negatively.
However, right now, many are instead concerned with the drama’s premise. Since the romance is assumed to involve the teacher, some drama fans are worried that the romance will begin while Wi Ha Joon’s character is still in school.
Okay I hope this isn't a student-teacher type situation BECAUSE.. https://t.co/XHUuzyI4Ox

Before it even began, concerns over the 2021 series Melancholia sparked debate online for potentially including a student-teacher relationship.
Still, many are hopeful Wi Ha Joon’s newest work will not include an uncomfortable student-teacher relationship, instead focusing on the fact he is returning to romance in general.
