It gained positive reactions for its amazing cast and acting skills.
Many reviews say it's sad rather than scary for the first episode.
Now I understand why the actors cried during the reading session ㅠㅠ

I just watched 'The Midnight Studio' and it seems like every episode is going to make me cry... ( o̴̶̷̥᷅⌓o̴̶̷᷄ ) As expected, Song Hyunwook's fantasy directing quality is great and the script is also excellent ♡
Joowon Reveals, "40 People Burst into Tears During the Script-Reading for 'The Midnight Studio' ... Eum Moonsuk cried the most."
Joowon showcased his exceptional empathy as he stated, "While reading the script, I imagine the characters. There were scenes in 'The Midnight Studio' that made me cry." He added, "During the script-reading, there were about 40 staff present. There was a scene that moved everyone to suddenly look for tissue." He continued, "Actually, the person who cried the most was Eum Moonsuk. Even though it's not something that should make him cry, he still cried."
