Korean actor Ahn Bo-hyun and actress Lee Joo-bin will star in “Spring Fever,” a romantic comedy that will be released in January. 

Prime Video announced that “Spring Fever” will premiere on Jan. 5, with two new episodes weekly every Monday and Tuesday, in over 240 countries and territories, including the Philippines, exclusively on Prime Video.

This will be Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Joo-bin’s first drama in 2026. Ahn Bo-hyun has starred in “Flex X Cop,” “See You in My 19th Life” and “Yumi’s Cells” while Lee Joo-been has appeared in “The Divorce Insurance,” “Twelve,” and “Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area.”

“Spring Fever,” directed by Park Won-gook and written by Kim Ah-jeong, is about a warm spring romance that melts frozen hearts between Yoon Bom (Lee Joo-been), a cold-hearted high school teacher, and Sun Jae-gyu (Ahn Bo-hyun), a man whose fiery passion turns a quiet village upside down.

“This drama features characters with visuals unlike anything I’ve seen before. The script was incredibly fun, and I was drawn to playing an uncle for the first time as well as using dialect. I think viewers will enjoy a drama full of laughter,” said Ahn Bo-hyun.  

Lee Joo-been said, “The beautiful scenery, refreshing village setting, and witty humor are definite highlights. Not just Jae-gyu and Bom, but the playful chemistry between students and teachers is wonderful. There’s even a hidden character later on that viewers will enjoy discovering.”

The cast includes Cha Seo-won, Cho Jun-young, Lee Jae-in, Jin Kyung, and Bae Jung-nam. 

The series is also the comeback project of director Park Won-gook, who helmed “Marry My Husband.”

Photos of the script reading session were revealed. Director Park Won-gook, writer Kim Ah-jeong, Ahn Bo-hyun (as Sun Jae-gyu), Lee Joo-been (as Yoon Bom), Cha Seo-won (as Choi I-jun), Cho Jun-young (as Sun Han-gyul), Lee Jae-in (as Choi Se-jin), Jin Kyung (as Seo Hye-suk), and Bae Jung-nam (as Jeong Jin-hyeok) gathered to read through the script together.

Ahn Bo-hyun fully immersed himself as Sun Jae-gyu, the unpredictable troublemaker who constantly stirs up the town and is also the uncle of Sun Han-gyul (Cho Jun-young). His expressive acting and subtle comedic timing, paired with his natural Busan dialect, filled the session with laughter.

Lee Joo-been transformed into Yoon Bom, the high school teacher who sparks the villagers’ curiosity, commanding attention. She brought her own color to Yoon Bom, the “outsider teacher” who hides a gentle heart beneath her cool exterior. 

In addition, Lee Joo-been and Ahn Bo-hyun showcased flawless rom-com chemistry, raising expectations for the fresh excitement the two will bring to the screen.

In “Spring Fever,” Cha Seo-won transformed into Choi I-jun, an elite lawyer whose position between Jae-gyu and Bom heightens intrigue. 

Cho Jun-young plays Sun Han-gyul, the top student at Shinsu High School and Jae-gyu’s only nephew, while Lee Jae-in appears as Choi Se-jin, Han-gyul’s rival and self-proclaimed anti-fan. Their blend of rivalry and youth romance promises vibrant storytelling.

A lineup of scene-stealing teachers—including Jin Kyung, Bae Jung-nam, Kim Beong-choun, Oh Man-seok, and Jung Young-ki—further enhances the drama’s charm.
