Han Su A Plays A Transfer Student Vampire In Wavve's 'Next Seat, Francesca'

Han Su A and Kim Hyun Jin lead Next Seat, Francesca (literal title), a vampire teen romance coming to Wavve on November 6.

Wavve revealed the premiere date on October 20, Soompi reports. The platform's new original runs four episodes, with a pair released each Friday.

The series spins off Hello, Francesca, the hit 2005 MBC sitcom. It keeps the earlier show's core idea of vampires blending into human society, but it moves the action into a high school and plays it as a teenage love story.

Han Su A plays Pi Na Young, a vampire who transfers in from Romania and has a hard time fitting into the human world. The Korean name she hides behind as Francesca is a pun on the Korean word for "bleeding."

Kim Hyun Jin plays Jang Woo Joo, a model class president who hopes to get into medical school. His homeroom teacher, played by real-life math instructor Chung Seung Je, assigns him to help the new student settle in.

The first teaser suggests the two slowly drawing closer, setting up a forbidden romance between a vampire and a human. It also gives a look at a cameo from comedian Yoo Young Woo as a butler, who frantically pleads, "Miss Francesca, please go to school!"

A newly released poster shows Pi Na Young against a moody purple backdrop, one finger held to her lips, under the tagline "A vampire disguised as an ordinary human appears at school."

The first two episodes arrive on Wavve on Friday, November 6.
