Dare to Love Me (aka 함부로 대해줘) air time

The Korean rom-com drama is a 16-episode KBS2 series, which will air every Monday and Tuesday at 22:10 (KST) beginning on May 13th, 2024 and is currently scheduled to run through July 2nd, 2024.

Netflix and Viki are streaming the K-drama internationally, depending on the region.

The drama is based on webtoon ‘Treat Me Carelessly‘ by Sun Woo, and stars Kim Myung Soo and Lee Yoo Young, with Bae Jong Ok, Sun Woo Jae Duk, Park Eun Seok and Jo In in the excellent supporting cast.

The plot of Dare to Love Me

Shin Yoon Bok (played by Kim Myung Soo) is a studious scholar hailing from Seongsan Village, South Korea, who bears the weighty responsibility of safeguarding the legacy of the Joseon Dynasty while trying to reclaim prized cultural relics for his family.

While he reveres the wisdom of his elders and faithfully adheres to their counsel as a distinguished Confucian scholar, he also harbors the progressive inclinations of contemporary youth, occasionally revealing a rebellious streak.

Despite his polite demeanor, he also grapples with getting close to anyone and so, often, maintains a certain aloofness.

Things become even more complicated for Yoon Bok’s, however, when he decides to move to Seoul and study to become a webtoon author. It is there he meets Kim Hong Do (Lee Soo Young), a woman worn down by disappointments.

Staff of Dare to Love Me

Jang Yang Ho (Mr Queen: The Bamboo Forest) is directing, with Park Yu Mi writing the scripts.
