TVING has released the first images from the script reading of its upcoming original drama Dear X, and fans are already counting down the days! With a star-studded cast led by Kim You Jung, Kim Young Dae, and Kim Do Hoon, the series promises to captivate audiences with a gripping story of ambition, love, and redemption.
The Story of “Dear X”: The Rise and Fall of a Star
Based on a popular webtoon, Dear X follows the complex life of Baek Ah Jin (Kim You Jung), a famous actress who built her career by manipulating those around her. Behind the beauty and glamour lies a woman shaped by trauma and an unquenchable thirst for success. But her facade begins to crumble, leading to an inevitable fall—and a powerful reflection on who she truly is.
Kim You Jung Shines as a Multifaceted Character
During the script reading, Kim You Jung showed complete mastery of her role. Her performance revealed both the ruthless and vulnerable sides of Baek Ah Jin, creating a character full of depth. It’s a portrayal that may become one of the most defining and challenging roles of her career.
Kim Young Dae as Yoon Joon Seo: Unconditional Love
Kim Young Dae plays Yoon Joon Seo, the only one who has always stood by Ah Jin. His love is both his strength and his downfall. Joon Seo believes he can save her—even if it means destroying everything around him. Kim Young Dae’s emotional commitment during the reading signals scenes filled with passion and tension.
Kim Do Hoon as Jae Oh: Pain, Obsession, and Dependency
Kim Do Hoon brings to life Kim Jae Oh, a tormented character who finds a new purpose in life by being with Baek Ah Jin. Unlike Joon Seo, Jae Oh doesn’t try to save her—he surrenders to her darkness. Do Hoon’s portrayal delivers a vulnerable and unstable man, creating a striking contrast between the male leads.
“Dear X” Release and Expectations
Dear X is set to premiere in November, and fans are eager to find out which platform will bring the drama to global audiences. Meanwhile, K drama Universe will continue to share updates about what is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated K-dramas of the year.
