Dare to Love Me Episode 2 Preview and What to Expect!

Dare to Love Me Overview

This rom-com series follows the journeys of Shin Yoon-bok and Kim Hong-do, whose lives invariably cross one another in the most inexplicable way.

Yoon-bok is a disciplined scholar from Seongsan Village, a place that strictly abides by the conservative, Confucian values of the Joseon Dynasty and is essentially stuck in time. However, in spite of listening to his elders and respecting their beliefs, Yoon-bok has a rebellious streak and dreams of leaving all of this behind and becoming a webtoon writer. On the other hand, Hong-do is a down-on-her-luck arts teacher who dreams of becoming a designer but presently works menial jobs in a cut-throat design agency with few prospects.

When Yoon-bok, thus, decides to run away from his village and taste the first exciting moments of freedom, he bumps into Hong-do, sparking both of them to reevaluate their lives and aspirations and possibly give birth to something more.
