The First Night With The Duke: OTT release date, cast, plot and more about Seohyun and Ok Taec-yeon's K-drama
The First Night With The Duke OTT Release Date: If you're into romantic K-dramas that whisk you into fantasy worlds where unexpected love stories unfold in royal palaces, The First Night With The Duke is the new title you need to watch out for. Starring Girls' Generation's Seohyun and 2PM's Ok Taec-yeon, this upcoming period-fantasy drama is already creating a major buzz online, thanks to its unique storyline, stunning visuals, and solid cast. When and where to watch The First Night With The Duke? Mark your calendars: the show premieres on June 11, 2025, in South Korea on KBS2, airing every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:50 p.m. KST. For Indian and global fans, the drama will stream on Rakuten Viki starting the same day, with new episodes dropping at around 7:30 p.m. IST. You can catch it with a Viki Pass (Standard or Plus), or even watch it for free with ads a few hours later. There will be 12 episodes in total, each loaded with charm, drama, and royal tension. What's the story all about? The plot kicks off with a quirky twist. A modern-day university student suddenly wakes up inside her favourite romance novel, but instead of becoming the heroine, she finds herself stuck in the body of a side character named Cha Seon-chaek. What's worse? In the book, this character was supposed to have little to no role in the main love story. But fate clearly has other plans. Enter Yi Beon, the dashing and emotionally reserved prince who mistakes Seon-chaek for someone else after a mysterious one-night encounter. One kiss turns her world upside down as the prince insists on marrying her, convinced that destiny has brought them together. While she tries to make sense of this new reality, palace politics, romance, and her own conflicted heart make things messier by the day. It's not about escaping the novel anymore; she might actually want to stay. Who's in the cast? The drama brings together two powerhouse performers. Seohyun plays the confused yet strong-willed Cha Seon-chaek. Opposite her is Ok Taec-yeon, taking on the role of Prince Yi Beon. The supporting cast includes Kwon Han-sol as the actual novel's heroine, Seo Bum-june playing the charming second lead with noble intentions, and Ji Hye-won as the ever-scheming court lady who's got her own eyes on the prince. Behind the camera The First Night With The Duke is directed by Lee Woong-hee, known for his crisp storytelling in shows like My Perfect Stranger, and Kang Soo-yeon, with a screenplay adapted by Jeon Seon-young. It's based on a popular web novel (which later became a webtoon) by Hwang Do-tol, which has already racked up millions of reads online. The music is composed by Gaemi, who's no stranger to hit soundtracks, having worked on dramas like Descendants of the Sun and Love in the Moonlight.
