Promising K-Drama Goes Downhill Fast, Frustrating Viewers

A promising K-Drama with a talented cast has become a disappointment, according to viewers who are struggling to finish the series.

Kim Myung Soo (INFINITE‘s L) and Lee Yoo Young star in Dare to Love Me, a webtoon-turned-series.

It follows an aspiring webtoon writer (Kim Myung Soo), who lives like it’s still the Joseon era, and a free-spirited apparel designer (Lee Yoo Young), who refuses to let go of her dream.

Right from the first episode, some viewers weren’t feeling the show’s “cringe comedy”…

Although Dare to Love Me isn’t a smash hit for everyone, it still has dedicated fans who are happy to stay until the end.

Late to watching #DareToLoveMeEp10 but I must say, it was a great episode! Now that we’ve entered Yoon-bok and Hong-do’s dating era, the drama is becoming more fun, and the stolen historical artifacts plot is getting exciting. #DareToLoveMe #KimMyungsoo #LeeYooyoung pic.twitter.com/Efc9UmbbSV
