A fantastical romcom all about… job scarcity? Sign us up! Here’s what you need to know about Miss Night And Day…
Following the success of Crash Landing On You, The Fabulous and Squid Game, Netflix has created a whole new fanbase dedicated to Korean TV series – so it makes sense that the streaming platform is leaning into the world of K-dramas in a big way.
Next on the list? Why, it’s Miss Night And Day, of course – a new romcom that deals with curses, job scarcity, and one of our absolute favourite tropes: the enemies-to-lovers arc!
Watch the trailer for Miss Night And Day below:
Intrigued? Of course you are. Here’s what you need to know…
What’s the plot of Miss Night And Day?
As you’ve likely gathered from the trailer, Miss Night And Day follows Lee Mi-jin, a job seeker in her 20s who (much like Shrek’s Princess Fiona) is unexpectedly hit by a curse that causes her to take a very different form when the sun comes up each day.
That’s right: she rapidly ages into her 50s each morning – and, seizing this new quirk as an opportunity, our hero applies for a senior intern position under the name Im Soon so she can finally land the job of her dreams.
Too bad her workaholic boss considers her his natural enemy, then – and that he falls for Lee Mi-jin’s younger self when he runs into her unexpectedly one evening.
Who stars in Miss Night And Day?
Jeong Eun-ji and Lee Jung-eun take the lead in this one as Lee Mi-jin and Im Soon respectively, while Choi Jin-hyuk stars as workaholic prosecutor Gye Ji-woong.
What are people saying about Miss Night And Day?
Speaking with Soompi, writer Park Ji Ha has revealed the inspiration behind the series.
“I thought that a job seeker would be a character that many people could relate to in this era of job scarcity,” she says. “And I wanted to write a story about a job seeker who consistently fails to get a job and ends up getting hired under false pretences.”
When and where can we watch Miss Night And Day?
Miss Night and Day premieres on JBTC and Netflix on Saturday 15 June.
