01 / A closer look

The story, without the spoilers.

Seo Ki-joo runs a photo studio that only opens at night, and its clients are not alive. For seven generations his family has photographed the dead, giving ghosts one last portrait before they move on to the afterlife. Ki-joo is cursed: if he does not take those photographs, he will die young, and he has spent his life counting the days. Then Han Bom arrives, a passionate lawyer who cannot see a single ghost and does not believe in any of it, yet finds herself working in the studio and falling for the man who runs it. Each episode brings a new spirit with unfinished business — a mother, a lover, a child — and a photograph that lets them say goodbye. The Midnight Studio aired on ENA from March 11, 2024, in sixteen episodes, starring Joo Won and Kwon Na-ra. It is a fantasy drama about grief, goodbyes and the pictures we keep.

The Oxfea take.

A photo studio that only opens at night — for the dead.

ONE LAST PHOTO. THEN GO.

Why you'll get hooked

  • Joo Won plays Seo Ki-joo, the seventh-generation owner of a studio that photographs ghosts.
  • Kwon Na-ra plays Han Bom, a lawyer who cannot see ghosts but ends up working beside them.
  • Each episode brings a new ghost with unfinished business and one last photograph to take.

Oxfea Score: 7.4/10 — Worth your weekend. A photo studio for the dead is a beautiful idea and the guest stories are often moving — but the main romance is slow to ignite and the middle episodes lose focus.
