The web drama ‘0th Period is Popular Time’ (planned and produced by Studio V Plus/ written by Go Yi-chan/ directed by Bae Ha-neul), which will be first released in November, is a high teen secret romance that unfolds as an ‘outsider’ (outsider) who becomes the manager of the anonymous community app ‘Insider Time’ and learns all the secrets of the entire school joins a group of ‘very popular’ that he desperately wants to get involved with. Expectations are high for this work, which will feature the reunion of Kim Woo-seok and Son Dong-pyo, who are from the group X1.

First, Kim Woo-seok will give a passionate performance as ‘Kang Woo-bin’, a popular kid among popular kids and a trainee at a major entertainment agency who is admired by the entire school as a perfect person. Kang Woo-bin is a character who not only has outstanding visuals but is also good at studying, and seems like a born-to-be superstar who exceeds the expectations of the webtoon, but he is also hiding a secret that he absolutely cannot allow anyone to find out.

Kang Na-eon plays the role of ‘Kim Ji-eun’, a self-proclaimed nerd girl who wants to be popular at heart but is actually a total idiot. Kim Ji-eun, who struggles to become popular, has a personality so pure that even her name sounds like a common idiot, and she is a quirky but gentle-hearted person. Then one day, he gains administrator rights for the app ‘Inssa Time’, which is used by all the students, each with their own secrets.

Choi Gun plays the role of ‘Lee Dong-min’, a man with outstanding looks and a prickly personality who seems like he would be sweet to a woman, and the owner of a fatal charm. Lee Dong-min meets Kim Ji-eun (played by Kang Na-eon) by chance at the school he transferred to and they become entangled, and he feels inexplicable jealousy toward Kang Woo-bin (played by Kim Woo-seok). Choi Gun, who has a warm visual, will show off his ‘Soft on the outside but Soft on the inside’ charm.

Son Dong-pyo plays the role of ‘Mo Bong-gu’, the school’s official source of information whose information is faster than 5G. Mo Bong-gu is a character who is often said to be warm and cool when he doesn‘t open his mouth, but the moment he does open his mouth, he is busy spiting out words, so he is nicknamed ‘Motor Mouse’. Although he has the advantage of being straightforward and getting along well with everyone, there is someone who he finds particularly difficult to talk to.

Lastly, Han Chae-rin plays the role of Min Seol-hee, the class president who is perfect at everything she does. Min Seol-hee is a person who is persistent in seeing things through to the end, and in addition to her studies, she is also the CEO of an internet shopping mall that easily makes 10 million won in monthly sales, and is also a YouTube creator, a true ‘newbie’. Expectations are high for how Min Seol-hee’s presence will affect the characters and for Han Chae-rin to show off her colorful charm.

Meanwhile, ‘0th Period is Inssa Time’ is an 8-part drama that will first air on Channel Cinema Paradiso in November, and will reach viewers through various platforms by providing VOD services on IPTV and OTT platforms in sequence from the day after the broadcast.
