Dear. M

Dear.M is a 2022 South Korean college-romance television series starring Park Hye-su, Jeong Jae-hyun, Roh Jeong-eui, Bae Hyun-sung, Woo Da-vi and Lee Jin-hyuk. It is the spin-off of the webseries Love Playlist. Directed by Park Jin-woo and Seo Joo-wan, and written by Lee Seul, the series follows the university life of four students at Seoyeon University as they search for "M" — the writer of a community article. The airing of the first episode was postponed from its originally scheduled premiere date of February 26, 2021, on KBS2, in light of emerging school time bullying allegations against the lead actress, Park Hye-su. The series was originally part of a restructured 'Golden Friday' line-up on the KBS2 channel and was planned to air every Friday at 23:10 (KST). Dear.M began airing its first six episodes ahead of its television release on June 29, 2022, through the streaming platforms Viki and U-Next. The next six episodes were released on July 6, 2022. The series received positive reviews, with praises towards the plot, performances (particularly of Jeong Jae-hyun whose role marks his acting debut), writing, tone, and pacing. Synopsis Things are turned upside down when an anonymous confession is published on Seoyeon University's student forum. Four students – Ma Joo-ah (Park Hye-su), Cha Min-ho (Jeong Jae-hyun), Seo Ji-min (Roh Jeong-eui), and Park Ha-neul (Bae Hyun-sung) – from different departments come together in search for "M", the writer of the mysterious confession. They go through university-life, changing friendships, and realistic budding romances in the course of their search.
