Dare to Love Me (Korean: 함부로 대해줘) is a 2024 South Korean television series based on Naver Webtoon of the same name by Sun Woo, starring Kim Myung-soo and Lee Yoo-young. It aired on KBS2 from May 13, to July 2, 2024, every Monday and Tuesday at 22:10 (KST). It is also available for streaming on Netflix and Viki in selected regions.
Dare to Love Me drew the lowest average ratings ever for a Korean drama airing on free television during prime time; after premiering with a rating of 2.3%, all other episodes languished in the 1% range. Its average ratings of 1.3% surpassed the record of 1.4% set by Love All Play, also a KBS2 miniseries, in 2022. The poor performance of Dare to Love Me led KBS2 to suspend the Monday–Tuesday prime time drama slot and schedule the succeeding drama Perfect Family on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
