Campus Showdown Ignites in KBS Joy’s Monday-Tuesday Drama ‘Dear M’
In a dramatic twist from the youth-centric Monday-Tuesday Korean drama Dear M, tension reaches a boiling point as characters Seo Ji-min, portrayed by Roh Jeong-eui, and Choi Rosa, played by Hwang Bo-reum-byeol, finally come face-to-face in an emotional showdown.
New stills released ahead of Episode 7 by KBS Joy reveal the charged encounter between the two leading ladies. Set in a university hallway, the scene crackles with suppressed emotion and psychological warfare as the two confront each other in a moment that fans have been anticipating for weeks.
Choi Rosa’s smug, slightly mocking expression exudes confidence and challenge, to which Seo Ji-min responds with frosty silence and a barely restrained sense of anger. Their overwhelmingly intense eye contact speaks volumes, creating a sense of anticipation as to who will emerge empowered from the exchange.
Throughout the series, Choi Rosa has tormented Seo Ji-min by manipulating her relationship with Park Ha-neul (played by Bae Hyun-sung), continuing a bitter rivalry rooted in jealousy that dates back to high school. Now, with Seo Ji-min emotionally worn from a heartbreaking breakup, Rosa’s relentless antagonism teeters on cruelty.
This pivotal moment marks a significant turning point for Seo Ji-min. No longer willing to be the victim, Ji-min’s cold, determined glare suggests she’s ready to reclaim her strength and confront her own emotional wounds head-on. Fans are eagerly awaiting to witness Ji-min’s evolution from passive bystander to active heroine.
“Dear M is a coming-of-age story about young people facing their emotions and past traumas head-on,” said the production team. “Viewers can expect a meaningful and relatable journey as Seo Ji-min fights back to stand tall in her own story.”
Meanwhile, Episode 7 promises even more excitement as a new character appears in Ji-min’s life, potentially shifting the dynamic once again and adding a fresh layer of complexity to the show’s romantic entanglements. The episode airs Monday, 5th at 9:50 PM KST on KBS Joy.
