Love Playlist

Dear.M (Korean: 디어엠) is a 2022 South Korean television series starring Park Hye-su, Jeong Jae-hyun, Roh Jeong-eui, Bae Hyun-sung, Woo Da-vi and Lee Jin-hyuk. It is the spin-off of the webseries Love Playlist. Directed by Park Jin-woo and Seo Joo-wan, and written by Lee Seul, the series follows the university life of six students at Seoyeon University as they search for "M" — the writer of a community article.

The airing of the first episode was postponed from its originally scheduled premiere date of February 26, 2021, on KBS2, in light of emerging school time bullying allegations against the lead actress, Park Hye-su. The series was originally part of a restructured 'Golden Friday' line-up on the KBS2 channel and was planned to air every Friday at 23:10 (KST).

It was instead released on OTT platforms U-Next in Japan, and on Viki in selected regions from June 29 to July 6, 2022. The next six episodes were released on July 6, 2022.

Four years after the cancellation of its planned broadcast, cable channel KBS Joy scheduled it to air on Mondays and Tuesdays at 9:50 p.m. KST time slot from April 14, 2025, to May 20, 2025.
