The First Night with the Duke

Synopsis

This is a 2025 South Korean television series that blends fantasy, history and romantic elements. I tis adapted from a popular web novel of the same name written by Hwang Do-tol. It has 12, 60 minute episodes. ,

Cha Seon Chaek (Seo Hyun) is just an average college student who finds herself magically transported into her favorite romance novel. Nothing to see here. And finds herself in the body of Cha Seon Chaek (Seo Hyun) who is a minor noble who wasn't originally a very intrinsic player in the plot. But, because Cha Seon Chaek is really not herself and modern college students who drink too much don't always make great decisions, she winds up having a hot night with Lee Beon (Ok Taec yeon), Prince Gyeong Seong. Which wasn't supposed to happen in the story. He is the male lead. Favored by the King he is incredibly handsome but also very cold-blooded and an amazing martial artist. Plot twist from the original novel, after spending the night with Seon Chaek he is determined to marry her instead of marrying Cho Eun Ae (Kwon Han sol). Doing what any good fourth wall would do, Seon Chaek is determined to get the story back on track and does everything she can to steer the Prince back toward his original intended. I mean, she knows what is supposed to happen but her original "error" along with the Prince's determination to steer events to his own intended outcome, mean our female lead (the body snatcher) is having to navigate court intrigue, manage a relationship with Lee Beon, and figure out how to return to her own time. It's modern knowledge versus ancient wisdom and an unlikely matchup versus a determined Prince.
