The heart-fluttering hug between Park Hye-soo and Jung Jae-hyun strikes the hearts of viewers.

Ahead of the broadcast of the 5th episode on the 28th, the production team of KBS Joy's Monday-Tuesday drama "Dear. M" (written by Lee Seul/Directed by Park Jin-woo, Seo Joo-wan/Produced by Monster Union, Playlist) revealed the hugging scene of Maju-ah (played by Park Hye-soo) and Cha Min-ho (played by Jung Jae-hyun).

In the released photo, Maju-ah and Cha Min-ho are sitting side by side under the soft lighting of a campus lounge. The nuanced and awkward silence between the two, who have always been noisy with playful banter and jokes, heightens the tension and immersion. In the following photo, Cha Min-ho suddenly embraces Maju-ah tightly, and Maju-ah shows a surprised expression of bewilderment.

In particular, the last photo conveys Cha Min-ho's strong will and affection to not let go of Maju-ah in his arms, suggesting that this is not just a behavior swept away by emotions but could signal a new turning point in the relationship between the two.

Previously, at the end of the 4th episode, Maju-ah found herself in a situation of extreme fear and tension as she was threatened by a Namsung.

Amidst this, the hug between Maju-ah and Cha Min-ho raises questions about whether it is a confession of hidden feelings, increasing anticipation for the 5th episode.

The production team noted, "The hug between Maju-ah and Cha Min-ho is not just a simple romance; it encompasses the anxiety of youth, friendship, and the clumsiness of love." They added, "Will Cha Min-ho be able to take a step closer to Maju-ah beyond the limits of 'friends,' and whose heart will the lovestruck Maju-ah turn toward? Stay tuned for this week's broadcast."

The heartfelt hug between Park Hye-soo and Jung Jae-hyun is raising the excitement level for KBS Joy's "Dear. M," which will air its 5th episode at 9:50 p.m. on the 28th (Monday).
