Source-derived summary

One Spring Night (Korean: 봄밤) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Han Ji-min and Jung Hae-in. It aired from May 22 to July 11, 2019, and is the first weekday miniseries to be aired by MBC on an earlier timeslot of Wednesdays and Thursdays at 20:55 KST.

Synopsis

Lee Jeong-in (Han Ji-Min) is a librarian who has been in a relationship with a banker, Kwon Gi-seok (Kim Jun-han) for 4 years. Yoo Ji-ho (Jung Hae-in) is a pharmacist, and a single dad. He has graduated a year later than Kwon Gi-seok from the same university. Little do they realize after meeting each other, Ji-ho and Jeong-in will begin to see love and relationships in a whole new light.

Jeong-in meets Ji-ho at the Woori Pharmacy when she goes to buy remedies for her hangover. She tells him she is in a rush, but then realizes she has forgotten her wallet because she left it at her friend's place, where she stayed the previous night. He gives her the remedies and tells her she can pay him back later, and he also gives her money for a taxi to go home.

Ji-ho immediately becomes interested in Jeong-in after their first meeting, and does not respond to her texts intentionally so she has to pay him back in person instead of paying him back in EFT. When she finally revisits the pharmacy, he implies his interest in her to which she responds she can only be friends with him. She tells Ji-ho she is in a relationship.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2019 South Korean television series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q61360273. The first chronological checks are 2019.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
