Cyndi Feb 27 2021 2:51 am I hate bullies.. cancelling this drama due to the one actress who has low morals is perfectly deserving. This will hopefully teach students that bullying is unacceptable and will catch up to them eventually.

sensible viewer Feb 25 2021 6:18 am some people said drama shouldnt be cancelled cause of other cast. Disagree,a bully should never get any airtime. What if drama becomes a hit,the bully will be forgiven and will gloat over her escaping retribution each time. Her scenes should be reshot with new actress else kill the drama.

john Feb 24 2021 10:59 pm so sad that the drama got cancelled because of one girl

Risa Feb 24 2021 9:32 am Kbs delay the premiere date of this drama,which is good...their competitors are penthouse and vincenzo. The drama will be flop if kbs plays on friday & also with the bullying case that come out this week. Maybe the drama will have to reshoot & cast other female lead

Kim Jae Hyun Feb 23 2021 9:43 pm February 26 2021, 11:10 P.M KST, KBS 2TV D-DAY! The first episode. Can't wait to watch the drama!

Haruu Feb 23 2021 2:57 am Poor Hyesoo, jobless people nowadays just want to create stupid accusations against celebrities to defame them. Those petty people, using school violence to pick on random celebrities? I hope the drama still succeeds. Fighting!!

Gimme Feb 22 2021 8:07 pm Dear Asianwiki,

De Bo Ra Jan 20 2021 5:24 am Hello. I want to say that goodluck Jung Jaehyun for your debut in drama. Hope to see you in more. Im rooting for you. HWAITING!!!!

Urwah Jan 19 2021 7:44 pm Uri Jaehyuniiie hwaitinggg ??

HHH Jan 17 2021 6:45 am Lee seul is also writer of XX

K Jan 13 2021 6:02 pm excited for this one it looks really cute and finally a drama in college. doesnt seem like an obvious love triangle either since the first leads are best friends and the second leads are already basically a couple? from my understanding. will be adding to the watchlist along with moon rises and penthouse s2 since i need to balance out the drama/stress with something light and cute keke~

burritoed Jan 12 2021 7:42 pm i'm not sure i'm going to be able to move on from Kim Sae-Ron's Seo Jimin :/

Sone Jan 12 2021 7:11 pm It feels weird to see Seo Ji Min played by another actress aside from Kim Sae Ron when you have watched all love playlist episodes.

WeWinAsOne Jan 06 2021 12:59 pm Finally after 1 year Park Hye Soo is back I hope they make a 3rd Season of Age of Youth <3

PHNo1 Jan 06 2021 12:55 pm I think Kim Sae Ron just want to remain as a young version of lead or supporter maybe because of her age and does not want to take the path of Rival Kim(Yoo Jung x So Hyun). Just wait her to become mature okedoki...

Roann Jan 05 2021 3:26 pm I can’t believe Kim Sae Ron isn’t going to be playing Seo Jimin :( her and Bae Hyun Sung were my favorite couple in Playlist, but I love Roi Jeong Eui too!

unu Jan 04 2021 7:46 pm After reading some articles about Dear M, I decided to watch Love Playlist 4. After watching it I was kinda disturbed that Kim Sae Ron isn’t going to be in Dear M since she literally played Seo Jimin perfectly in my perspective. But, I’ll probably be able to make it through because after I saw the teaser for Dear M, I was sure that Rong Jeong Ui would play Seo Jimin since it looked like she was already adapted to the drama. I am also looking forward on seeing the 3 idols from different kpop groups to be acting in this drama since I had a pretty good first impression on acting in this drama. Not gonna lie here, I that “M” is probably a nickname that the writer would call them. I am looking forward to watch this drama, as long it doesn’t take a while to be translated- Dear M fighting!

Clari Jan 02 2021 6:47 am I'm so proud of Jaehyun, my baby will debut in his first drama. Omg so looking forward to it

Syaza Jan 01 2021 8:20 am I'm really happy and excited for jaehyun's acting debut, but I wonder if the senior's from love playlist and pureum would actually make a cameo in this drama.

genny Dec 31 2020 11:23 am will the show be on netflix?

Cass Dec 23 2020 6:59 am Jeong Jaehyun Actor Fighting. Dear M cast fighting!!!

Akon Dec 20 2020 10:01 pm Just came from the Dear M script reading video. I was already interested in this because of the mystery element and the fact that it was set in college (who else is sickkk and tired of high school settings?!) but with no confirmed air date I haven’t been paying attention. Anywho, the script reading video was so cute!! Why do I love the cast already? The chemistry is so obvious and fun and although there are a lot of new names everyone is bringing their acting chops. This might break the stereotype of youth dramas!!

na jaemin Dec 16 2020 11:29 am Im full of respect to roh jeong eui but ı really want to see kim sae ron to play jimin btw ım sooo happy that jaehyun playing at this drama normally ı was not going to watch it cuz of kim sae ron but there is jaehyun so ım watching it jaehyun Fighting!

Mary Dec 16 2020 6:30 am After seeing the script reading video realesed by KBS, I am pleased with the casting choice. I'm a huge Park Hyesu fan and I was skeptical about the casting but after seeing everyone working together, the energy is really good and even though the lead actor is a newbie, his acting seems really good from the clips and the chemistry between the cast is undeniable. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

NCT IN THE HOUSE Dec 15 2020 4:00 am Jaehyun-ah, can't wait for your acting first project!! Nctzen will always support you, no matter what!!

Good luck and fighting!! You can do it!! Stay safe and healthy!!

Nailah Dec 12 2020 8:36 pm Jaehyun Fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will always be proud of my 23 boys in nct. When I saw that jaehyun was going to be apart of the Dear. M series I was so excited and I cant wait fighting Dear.M cast

nurin Dec 11 2020 1:22 am since i was nctzen. ill always looking forward to it!! fighting!!! <3 Jaehyun is literally talented. fighting jaehyun!!

JD Dec 11 2020 12:52 am The cast is so good looking but most importantly, talented. Looking forward to this drama. The lead actress, Park Hyesu is solid, i've seen her previous work and as a love playlist fan, glad to see Park Haneul back and hope the chemistry with the new Jimin is just as good if not better than the original Jimin.

Sydney Dec 10 2020 4:04 am I am looking forward to seeing the chemistry between the cast, especially between Park Hye Soo and Jaehyun. The plot seems interesting too unlike the overly cliche youth kdramas i've seen, and I hope the script and acting lives up to the anticipation. It will be Jaehyun's first acting role, so I am curious to see how he will portray his character but as far everyone knows, he works hard to perfect any skill, so I am sure he will do well enough on acting too. Pairing him up with a good and promising actress like Hye Soo was a smart move by the casting director.

Excited for this one Nov 27 2020 2:48 pm The plot looks really promising and so does this cast! Park Hyesoo is such an excellent actress whose body of work never fails to impress. All her dramas and movies have in the last few years have been great, not corny and really encapsulate the true nature of youth the good and bad. So I have faith in her artistic sense and her choice to lead this drama! I know it’s going to be within the Love Playlist worldview so I’m excited! Great to see Bae Hyunseung reprise his role and also new arrivals like Jeong Jaehyun to the scene. Roh Jongeui was so captivating in 18 Again and her latest movie with Kim Hyesoo had me in tears. The plot doesn’t seem like a typical campus love story, I like that the main leads are best friends, the personalities seem bold and unique and the mystery element of who “M” is adds another layer to the show. Can’t wait for this to air!

DEAR M FIGHTING!!! Nov 25 2020 10:15 am im really exited and anticipated for this drama, i love park hyesoo her acting was great in swing kids and her recent movie samjin company english class was awesome. her character in this drama (ma jua) seems fits her very well bright, cute and innocent. i also love her voice. for jaehyun, well im put high expectation for his acting skill, as i know he is one of the most all arounder idol. he is good singer with his baritone vocal tone, he can rap, he dance very well his move sharp and short, he is mc in music show, he also lyricist in some nct songs. he is hardworker and passionate man of course he will give his best in everything he do, so i hope he can nails his role as cha minho in dear m. im really looking forward to see chemistry between ma jua and cha minho as they will act as bff for 12 years. for roh jeongeui shi-a i really really loveeee her i think everyone did. i hope she could build good chemistry with bae hyunsung. i hope dear m would bring enthusiasm and hyped by gp also get high rating in korea nation tv, wish all the best luck for this drama so everyone can shine. <3<3<3

if you dont want to watch the drama because of the cast is not what you expected then fine its your choice but please dont spread hate for the choosen cast member. the drama still not aired yet so we cant judge their acting capability yet. just because they are not your favorite doesnt mean we can understimated their skill and say bad word. <3

Kim Sae Ron, Fighting! Nov 24 2020 6:56 pm As much as I enjoy Park Hye Soo’s acting, it’s not enough to fill the gap of Kim Sae Ron’s absence. I was raised with Kim Sae Ron she grew on screen, as I did in life. I’m debating on boycotting KBS! It’s pretty obvious she was disrespected. One reason I enjoy kdramas is not having to deal with cast replacements or second seasons. Jimin is Sae Ron and Park Ha Neul can only be with Jimin played by Sae Ron. They had the chemistry. I didn’t appreciate it in Age of Youth. Park Hye Soo’s replacement was terribly dissatisfying. So I’m dropping this drama unless by some miracle Kim Sae Ron is able to reprise her role. The drama wasn’t that great anyway, the writing and acting by every other cast member is very amateurish. I only watched Season 4 for Kim Sae Ron’s performance. Otherwise I’ll wait to support her in her next role.

waiting for dear m Nov 13 2020 5:33 am im really excited for this drama!! like im waiting for any updates from this drama. from what i've seen on the fantaken filming video (it passed my tl but this is actually not allowed, if you saw any pls dont spread them) they seem to have great chemistry!! jaehyun always wants to try acting since debut (from one of nct debut show with heechul as mc) and i really wish him for the best. park hyesoo is a great actress!! i love her, she's a babie istg. also can we get jaehyun and park hyesoo ost pls, i loooove their voices. i hope Dear M will be good and doing well with rating and stuffs !! <33

ps: and please keep in mind that this is a spin-off and not a new season.

Amy Chito Nov 12 2020 1:30 pm Where are we going to be able to see the drama

Supporting Dear M, spinoff of Love Playlist Nov 03 2020 6:56 pm Really looking forward to this spin-off! Seems like a very solid cast. It's nice to see them expand the Love Playlist universe (knowing that A-Teen is also in the same universe). Park Hye Soo is such a talented actress who's hot off the heels of her latest movie and I don't know much about Jaehyun but I know he's one of the most well-rounded entertainers in recent years and have seen him host radio and many shows. I wish this cast all the best. For those who are upset Kim Saeron dropped out... that's her choice. This show will centre around Cha Minho (Dear M -- Obviously!) and Ma Jua, with the original LP couple but it's not their show. Get it through your heads before you watch this! As for Kim Saeron dropping out, well that was her choice and we should respect that. She left very las- minute as I was looking forward to her reprising her role also... but leaving when everyone has been casted, and the script already done is not the most ideal either. Everyone is just making the best of the situation so I also want to wish Roh Jeongeui the best of luck as she was great in 18 Again and deserves to shine here too.

i dont know why people angry Nov 01 2020 10:34 am Why all those comment here not understand that this is not a sequel of the love playlist but only a side story/spin off from the universe of the love playlist because the set is same, and Playlist always make spin off, like 'Why I hate Xmas" etc . It makes sense that Sseoji and Park Sky characters are only a side couple because this is only a Spin Off . maybe sseoji and parky sky will be lead in season 5 love playlist and not here. Besides, it's clear from the drama's title 'Dear M' M refers to Minho, the new character. Why are people here angry. This is not Love Playlist Season 5

nancy Oct 22 2020 11:14 am As a fan of love playlist, especially a huge fan of sseoji-park sky from the season 4, I was too excited when they announced they're going to make a spin off for my fav couple of this webdrama. Turns out... it's all the clout to get people hype only for the actual main couple not to be the ones we had expected. Like, seriously, I know the "main guy" is currently on the rise, not trying to blame him or anything. it's just, why the production team not make this into a stand alone drama from the beginning? The lead boy's popularity alone can help the promotion. If the actual characters from love playlist only act as supportings then what's the point of making this drama into love playlist universe? I won't be surprised, & totally understandable, if KSR dropped this drama because the production team changed the story from having sseoji-haneul as a main couple to only a side couple; or worse they use KSR name just to get general audience hype. Truly disappointed, & to be frank I lowkey hope Bae Hyun Sung will drop this drama as well, for his acting skill alone he deserves more than to be a side character to a new actor with an unknown skill.

Anggie AW Oct 17 2020 1:13 am Jaehyun ? Always keep healthy!! From ??

Nurul Aulia Oct 15 2020 6:24 am Hong shi a from 18 again plssss><

Chloe Oct 12 2020 9:51 pm Honestly I’m excited for all the initial casts of this drama, especially Park Sky and Sseoji. I love Hyesoo and Jaehyun too. But I had been following Love Playlist since theit first season and have been rooting for Sseoji and Park Sky. They have great chemistry too in LP. It would be a bit weird for me to watch another actress acts as Sseoji instead of Kim Saeron. But let’s see if I will still enjoy this drama.

nocmore Oct 12 2020 2:17 am saeron dropping out this drama and roh jeongeui (hong siah from 18 again) will replace her. uwuu i Loves All The Cast. but i misss kim saeron hmmm. it's been years seen i saw her on screen

hotarumaruchii Oct 12 2020 1:49 am Sad that Kim Sae Ron dropped from the drama due to different opinions accdg. to news articles. The reason why I root for this drama is because of her and Bae Hyun Sung's characters (Park Sky & SeoJi) since I've watched Love Playlist before, too bad I won't be seeing them together & the crumbs that I'll be getting. I hope Kim Sae Ron is okay, she suppose to be the main lead for School 2020 but that drama got cancelled because of casting controversy & now she dropped Dear M which are both from KBS. So I wonder what's with her & KBS...Sae Ron posted the cast confirmation for Dear M on her ig story when the news came out, which means she's excited for it so it's a bit upsetting that it didn't go well for her. There's news circulating that they already cast an actress for her replacement(kbs was fast lol) but I wish that they create a new character for the new actress instead of casting for Seo Ji Min, I knew this is a spin-off but everyone knew Kim Sae Ron is Seo Ji Min so it'll be awkward to see Seo Ji Min isn't Kim Sae Ron. Best wishes for this drama, I hope Sae Ron finds a new project that she can commit & shine; I'm looking forward to Jae Hyun and Park Hye Soo's chemistry~

Iammm Oct 11 2020 11:33 pm Kim Bora please!!!

lala Oct 11 2020 8:28 pm saeron dropping out of this drama...

Bel Oct 10 2020 9:05 pm I am very anxious, I have high expectations for Jaehyun's performance alongside other great actors!

(If there is something strange in the sentence above it is the fault of Google Translate)

fan Sep 30 2020 4:43 am jaehyun fightinggg

fressiabluu Sep 26 2020 2:05 pm ohh i need jung pureum tooo plisssss

Widi Sep 19 2020 9:54 am They’re from love playlist. I mean Park Ha neul and Seo Ji min. Omg I can’t wait for them

aliuhu Sep 14 2020 8:57 pm Yayy more Park Sky-Seoji content. Hope there's A Lot of it.

Loving that Hyesoo has a new drama w a role similar to her AOY character, loved her in that.

Wulan Sep 08 2020 11:07 am I've been following this web drama since the first season by chance in youtube. The series are absolutely very good and recommended, especially for you who like college love story. This is one of my favourite web drama. Been waiting for season 5 because want to see Park Sky and Sseoji more scenes, but now, there will be a spinoff for this drama with NCT Jaehyun as the lead male?? This is really makes me excited!!

I just can't wait to see the Park Sky-Sseoji relationship and the new story between Jaehyun & Hyesoo!!

Good luck everyone!! Stay safe and healthy!!

saeroniii fighting!!! Sep 06 2020 9:00 pm I've been following the love playlist since the second season, even though at first I wasn't that interested. But when I saw the new characters in season 3 I started to rewatch it from season 1, especially when I saw the news that Saeron joined this webdrama for season 4,,, I became looking forward to it more, at last when it came out, I fell in love with it. And the spin off of the love playlist will air on KBS?! With NCT Jaehyun and CLC Eunbin ?! I'm getting impatient!

hyunlady Sep 06 2020 1:24 am Not a fan of park hyesoo acting style but her character sounds like the one she played in age of youth and thats her best role which she did her best acting there so I guess she'd be fine..?

Nevertheless i'm flad to hear about this spinoff. Hope park sky and seoji featured more than the new characters because love playlist 5 seems so unlikely to be continued in youtube..

Elona Sep 05 2020 1:52 am You guys should totally watch the webdrama Love Playlist. This is a spin off from that series. Also, I’m excited to see college boyfriend Jaehyun! ?

Violet Sep 04 2020 11:32 pm Can't wait to see more Park Sky and Seoji couple moment!

me_nina Sep 04 2020 6:16 pm Omo..park hye soo and jaehyun nct...daebak..!!!

sijeunie! Sep 04 2020 5:44 pm hoping the best for this drama, can't wait!

annachanzy Sep 04 2020 12:53 pm Curios about this Kdrama mainly because of Kim Sae Ron & Park Hye Soo...excited to know Jaehyun & Bae Hyun Sung are here too. Can't wait!!!

Bill Sep 03 2020 4:46 am So Excited For This ㅠㅠ Hoping the best for the drama!!!
