Upcoming KBS drama “Dare to Love Me” has shared its first stills of Kim Myung Soo!

Based on the webtoon of the same name, “Dare to Love Me” is a romantic comedy about the love story between Shin Yoon Bok (Kim Myung Soo), a a 21st-century scholar from Seongsan village who believes deeply in Confucian values, and his art teacher Kim Hong Do (Lee Yoo Young), who has a reckless and straightforward personality.

Kim Myung Soo will play the role of Shin Yoon Bok, who is kind to others but strict with himself based on the Confucian virtues of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom. Lee Yoo Young will play Kim Hong Do, who has no connections or power and is often disrespected in the fierce design industry but still doesn’t give up on her dream of becoming a designer.

Shin Yoon Bok, who believes that the words of the elders in the family are law, is the epitome of Confucianism. However, he is also a spirited MZ (Millennial and Generation Z) youth full of adventure and rebellion. Shin Yoon Bok finds it hard to trust people. So while he treats everyone with courtesy, he draws a line when someone tries to get close to him.

When Shin Yoon Bok runs away from home and goes to Seoul to pursue his dream of becoming a webtoon artist, he meets his fateful soulmate Kim Hong Do, and his life begins to change. Viewers can’t wait to find out how Shin Yoon Bok, who doesn’t easily open his heart to others, will deal with the whirlwind of emotions he experiences after meeting Kim Hong Do.

In the released stills, Shin Yoon Bok exudes a dignified aura with his sharp gaze and upright posture. His short hairstyle, hat, and hanbok give a glimpse of his elegance and grace. In one photo, Shin Yoon Bok, who is wearing a modern school uniform paired with round glasses along with a backpack and hat, looks like a scholar from the Joseon era who is living in the 21st century.
