It’s an intriguing story about an unconventional female lead who resorts to questionable motives and feels absolutely no remorse. Baek Ah‑jin is a manipulative vixen. You realize you’re caught in her web only when it’s already too late and the chain is tightening around your throat. Every time you think her kingdom of lies is about to collapse, the next moment you see her standing on top, with all the unlucky souls who crossed her lying at her feet. I felt sorry for the victims — at least the innocent ones — while at the same time burning with curiosity to see what devilish plan she would come up with next.
I’m not sure where exactly things went wrong, but something definitely did. Whether it was the character development or the direction of the plot… I don’t know. The beginning was fantastic. It promised something phenomenal. But with each episode I felt like I was going in circles — an endless loop of repetitive actions with no clear direction.
The whole time I watched Yoon Joon‑seo, I kept screaming: leave her, save yourself, Baek Ah‑jin is manipulating you, can’t you see it! The only logical explanation for why he stayed by her side all those years, despite her never promising him anything, is that he’s just as broken as she is.
Kim Jae‑oh was probably the most normal one of them all — just blinded by his own illusions about her. Like Joon‑seo, he could have started fresh, but he chose to remain in Ah‑jin’s shadow because he genuinely believed that made him useful, and he was strangely okay with that.
I expected some kind of development between her and at least one of the two, but everything was touched on only superficially and quickly brushed aside. Instead, they became willing prisoners in her web — a web that slowly and inevitably consumed them.
And what was Moon Do‑hyeok’s role supposed to be? His motives remained unclear until the very end. He married Ah‑jin, but for what purpose? Everything about him felt suspicious — a door left open for something more — but instead of exploring it, they simply left a gaping hole in the plot.
And then we get to the ending. Why did they have to settle for the easiest possible conclusion? What did we get — an unnecessary death and a finale that existed solely because they needed to wrap up the story as quickly as possible. After all the madness, I expected something bold, but what I got was a compromise.

A Character So Broken That Morality Stops Being the Point
I genuinely don’t understand what some people in the comments are missing here. The writing of this drama—especially Baek Ah Jin as a character—is far more deliberate and psychologically layered than people are giving it credit for.First, Baek Ah Jin is not a “morally grey” character in the typical sense. People throw that label around whenever a character does questionable things, but that’s not actually what’s happening here. A morally grey character usually understands the ethical line and chooses to blur it. Baek Ah Jin doesn’t operate like that. Her entire framework of thinking is different.
She isn’t weighing right versus wrong.
She’s operating from a purpose shaped by damage.
Her actions come from a worldview that was built through repeated harm, neglect, and emotional distortion. At some point in her life, the world essentially taught her a lesson: survival and happiness don’t come from fairness or trust—they come from control. Once that belief is locked in, everything she does becomes logical within her own system, even if it looks disturbing from the outside.
That’s what makes the character so interesting. She doesn’t manipulate people because she enjoys cruelty or because she wants to play villain. She manipulates people because, in her mind, that’s simply how life works. It’s the only strategy she knows that produces results.
And that distinction matters.
A villain usually understands the moral rules and deliberately breaks them. Baek Ah Jin feels more like someone who never internalized those rules in the first place. Her decisions aren’t driven by ideology or rebellion—they’re driven by a warped survival instinct that she mistakes for clarity.
That’s why the argument “she used people” feels overly simplistic. Yes, she absolutely used people. The story never denies that. But the important question isn’t whether she used people—it’s why she believed that was the only viable option.
In her mind, relationships are transactional by default. Trust is naïve. Vulnerability is dangerous. If the world runs on exploitation anyway, then the smartest move is to control the board before someone else controls you.
That’s not moral ambiguity. That’s psychological conditioning.
And portraying that kind of mindset without turning the character into a cartoon villain is extremely difficult to write. The drama walks a tightrope: it never excuses her actions, but it also doesn’t flatten her into a simple antagonist. Instead, it shows a person whose moral compass was damaged long before the story even started.
Kim You Jung absolutely carried that complexity in her performance. She didn’t play Baek Ah Jin like a scheming anti-hero or a theatrical villain. She played her like someone who genuinely believes she’s navigating the world the only way she knows how. That subtle difference is what makes the character unsettling and tragic at the same time.
Because when you look closely, Baek Ah Jin isn’t someone chasing power for the sake of power.
She’s someone chasing a version of happiness she doesn’t know how to reach any other way.
And that’s exactly why the character works. It’s not about liking her actions. It’s about understanding the psychology behind them. Characters like this are rare because they require the audience to engage with uncomfortable nuance instead of simple moral categories.
Reducing her to “villain” or “anti-hero” completely misses the point of the writing.
What the drama actually presents is much harder to watch—and much more interesting: a person so profoundly broken that manipulation stopped being a choice and became her default language for surviving the world.

Almost perfect but lacked at some points
Firstly, it started off very strong I really liked the vibe and the way the story of the siblings was presented it was all dark and the producers did a great job. It was unique and I was really invested in the story of Ahjin, Kim Yoojeong did a fantastic job by portraying the character and as I was not convinced by her acting in previous dramas I’ve watched, I can say that she was brilliant here and she WAS Ahjin, Yoojeong was clearly the best out of the cast. However, I cant say the same about Youngdae. I really enjoyed him in the Penthouse but I felt like I was watching the same character here. I know he has a specific way of acting and he does not show so much expressions but I feel like it suited his character in Penthouse but not Junseo. I became tired of watching him in the second part of the drama as he barely had any expressions, regardless of the scene. And I know it wasnt because Junseo was expressionless it was the actor, it didnt matter to whom he was talking to in the drama, he was always boring and it itched me so much.I have to say that I completely don’t understand why the boys sticked to Ahjin so much. It was obvious she doesn’t value them and they knew it, she only talked to them when she needed something especially to Jae Oh, he looked up to her because she was the one that understood his actions in high school but beside that they barely had any interactions and I can’t comprehend it that he could commit any crime for her, as well as getting killed for her. The same thing with Junseo, he always was by her side until he acknowledged her actions when her father died. He didn’t approve it, he didn’t like it, that was the first time he told her she did wrong and he will not be by her side anymore. But he did. Every single time! She kept on doing even worse and worse things, but he was always with her. He scolded her but also helped her hide the evidence, defended her and made himself a culprit, which is contradictory. Only at the end, he was the one that uncovered her true persona, but still “helped” her run away? Beside scolding her and coming back to her he didn’t have any important role and by the time he was only given random scenes that were unnecessary for the plot.
Also, it was really weird to watch him crushing on her and even trying to kiss her? They are somehow step-siblings, not by blood but they were growing up together for many years, which is really uncomfortable.
The other thing that itched me a little was the fact that Ahjin talked to her so called boyfriend about breaking up and she could have done it with simply stating that she doesn’t want it anymore because it posed a threat to her acting career, however she kept on telling him how she really is and her true intestions and even somehow hinted that she was the one who killed his grandmother, which is not true and it was shown that it was an accident and she could have proved it. It was shown many times that she has her plans made from the bottom to the top, she knows everything about her victims and how they would react, what benefits she could gain, but still acted irrationally here. It was obvious that when he did something to himself people would talk shit about her, which is unfavorable to her. Why didn’t she just break up with him without telling him that. I can’t understand why previously she made up more complicated plans but failed in this simple one.
I felt like some scenes or actions just were included in the drama but were not necessary or important. The husband Dohyuk was the most useless character in the drama. Everybody thought that he was the one that will take revenge on Ahjin but didn’t do anything. He tried to make her lose her mind and even tried to change script to trigger the trauma in her, but even despite the fact he failed, it in fact did not really had any consequences. Female lead didn’t even lose her mind nor did she have any mental problems like she previously started to have. It magically disappeared like her husband. Also there was one scene where they show us that Ahjin can feel empathy and she is clearly scared that Ingangs grandmother could die, but it is not used anywhere else nor shown any other scenes where is empathizing with someone.
The fact that she survived the accident was also hilarious but of course we have to be dissatisfied by the fact that SHE was the only character alive, even though she should be the one to die. I know it was intentional but I think they could came up with something better.
Overall it was not bad, I really enjoyed it and I wasn’t bored even for a minute, the acting, the aesthetic, the vibe was perfect. It simply started to fading a little throughout the drama and only the last episodes were not it, but I think it was something fresh when it comes to dramas and it was fun to watch something that stoods out a little.

A weed with every reason to grow, but the gardener can seem to stop cutting it off.
Dear X is an unapologetic story that refuses the common limitations of K-dramas nowadays. It doesn't fear getting dirty, personal, or wrecking your emotional wellbeing. It has only one purpose, to tell the story of Baek Ah Jin.But how much of this destroys the very essence of the drama?
Story: The story began as promising as it could be. It told the story of a girl with Anti Social Disorder and her experiences in an abusive home and how that ultimately shaped her. It also showed us just the lengths Baek Ah Jin would go through to survive. As the story progresses, the stakes get higher and your view on Baek Ah In shifts. You begin this drama understanding that she doesn't care but as the betrayals ensue, you're not sure whether she can still remain an at least "likeable" main character. However, the story justifies her actions, every single time without fail.
Towards the end, she suffers from trauma which is a lackluster consequence to her actions but I digress.
It finishes off with an idea that the audience can make up the ending to Baek Ah Jin, whether she truly cared about those she had to betray and sacrifice, or if she simply found them as thorns in her shoe. At some point in the story, you almost begin to understand Yun Jun Seo's desire for Baek Ah Jin to be "normal" or at least show signs of humanity in situations where it would naturally be necessary, but the plot strips you and Jun Seo of that idea and progresses. I personally found this rather irritable as I am ashamed to say that I wish Baek Ah Jin did a somewhat redeemable action to anyone in the story, absolving the hate I had for her. That is to say, I understand her character and I understand why that would simply be impossible.
Acting: Kim You Jung's acting portraying Baek Ah Jin, a woman with anti-social disorder was nothing short of spectacular. The emptiness in her eyes sold Baek Ah Jin's character and her crash outs felt real. Bae Soobin's portrayal of Baek Ah Jin's father gave me what it should have: uncomfortableness, anger and disgust. Perfect. The rest of the line up of actors did amazing and sold the idea of this seemingly "noir" series.
Music: There was nothing noteworthy about the music that had played, but I felt as though in certain scenes, it was better to not have it as it led me to quickly infer what would happen next, ruining the immersion into the series. The ost used in the film were great but not exactly memorable.
I don't think I'd ever watch Dear X again due to the turmoil in emotions I had faced, but it was an interesting, captivating watch. I simply could not miss each episode.
So watch carefully and don't get attached to anyone or the "romances" this drama has to offer. The only romance here is the romance of survival of the fittess and what it means to have enough power for people not to discard you.

Dear X writer, who hurt you — and why did you take it out on us?
This drama started like a beautifully plated dish — glossy, aromatic, and pretending it had Michelin‑star ambitions. The opening episodes strutted around with the confidence of a chef who thinks they’ve reinvented cuisine, and for a moment, I believed it. The acting was so good it gaslit me into thinking the writing was competent. I was out here taking notes like, “Wow, this is gripping,” and the premise sparkled just enough to make me think, “Fine, I’ll take a bite.” Little did I know I was about to be served a dish that looked gourmet but tasted like someone dumped soy sauce, whipped cream, and battery acid into a blender and called it fusion.Because somewhere around episode nine, the writers clearly said, “Plot? Never heard of her.” They started freestyling like a DJ who lost the playlist and decided to mash up whale sounds with K‑pop. The rooftop‑murder inspector? Gone like he got Thanos‑snapped. The café boss? Folded like a cheap lawn chair. And Jae‑o — sweet, loyal, plot‑carrying Jae‑o — died in a moment that should’ve detonated the plot, only for the writers to treat it like a minor inconvenience. His sacrifice should have been the turning point, the moment everything shifts. Instead, the story shrugged, checked its watch, and moved on. The disrespect was so loud I could hear its echo.
And Jun‑seo? My guy. My sweet summer child. He had the video. He had evidence. He had the moral obligation. And what does he do? Absolutely nothing. He doesn’t leak it, doesn’t expose Moon Do‑hyeok, doesn’t honor Jae‑o’s death — he just resets the plot to factory settings. I’ve seen NPCs in video games make better decisions. If this is what the show considers “love,” then I’m filing a restraining order.
Meanwhile, Ah‑jin is out there being the equivalent of a raccoon in a Gucci coat — chaotic, unhinged, and absolutely not fixable. I wasn’t expecting character development from her. She’s a lost cause, a narrative black hole where growth goes to die. I wasn’t waiting for redemption or healing or some grand transformation. But if you’re going to let a character like her walk away, at least pretend it’s intentional. This isn’t Natural Born Killers, where the villains escaping is a sharp commentary on society. This is “clickbait turned rage bait,” and I fell for it like a clown stepping on a rake.
And Moon Do‑hyeok? The show built him up as this terrifying, calculating sociopath, only to let him stroll out of the finale like he just finished a yoga retreat. No consequences. No fallout. No narrative weight. Just vibes. If you’re going to let the villain win, at least give me a monologue, a metaphor, a moral — something. Instead, the writers clocked out early and left him standing there like a glitch in the simulation.
And honestly, at this point, I would’ve preferred if the writers had just followed the webtoon. Not because the webtoon made Ah‑jin redeemable — she was still cruel, still manipulative, still a walking red flag with legs — but because at least it respected its own narrative spine. It lets every character suffer while alive, which is thematically consistent and emotionally coherent. Here, Ah‑jin lost the very mettle that made her despicable in the beginning. Once she married Do‑hyeok, she just started “resting on her laurels,” drifting through the plot like she was on sabbatical. The writers clearly wanted to be edgy or creative, but if you’re going to change something, at least make it better. Instead, they took a perfectly good recipe — the webtoon — and said, “This needs more salt,” then dumped the entire shaker in and made it inedible.
By the end, I wasn’t even mad at the characters — I was mad at myself for believing. This drama fumbled the bag so hard it entered a different timeline. It didn’t flip the script; it launched the script into orbit. The acting was phenomenal, and that’s the only reason I’m not outside the studio with a megaphone demanding reparations. But even Oscar‑level performances can’t save a story determined to sabotage itself like it’s speed‑running self‑destruction.
In conclusion: this drama didn’t break my heart; it wasted my time. And honestly? That’s worse. I walked away feeling like I watched a chef burn a perfectly good recipe, blame the oven, and then ask if I wanted seconds. No. I do not want seconds. I want peace.

Served absolutely NOTHING!!!!
The story was sloppy. Viewers who enjoy the psychological genre would like it more. As an avid fan of dramas like It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, I had high expectations for this one. And honestly, it was almost perfect… until her father died.After that point, everything became a big fat mess.
The narrative completely lost its direction. The story didn’t follow through on its own setup, and Baek Ah-jin suddenly started making reckless and foolish decisions. She nearly lost her defining trait, her calculative, logical nature and it felt like the screenwriter abandoned proper character development altogether. Instead, the plot spiraled into something that resembled Wattpad-level writing, full of forced drama and inconsistent choices.
As a result, nothing really matched up in the end. The emotional payoff didn’t feel earned, and the resolution lacked coherence.
I’m not going to blame the actors for this, because this is very clearly a writing issue The cast consists of experienced, well-established actors who did what they could with the material given to them. A special mention goes to Kim Yoo-jung, who once again proved why she’s one of the strongest actresses of her generation—she genuinely elevated every scene she was in.
I did have some doubts about Hwang In-yeop’s character, though. In certain situations, his performance felt a bit stiff, as if the character wasn’t fully fleshed out or properly integrated into the story. Also, it didn't feel good watching a child making those decisions on her own. I know it's merely a drama and shouldn't be taken seriously, but it was quite painful to watch the child actress acting and for some reason Ah Jin's childhood felt almost fake artificial.
On a positive note, the OSTs were fantastic and will definitely be added to my playlist, something I’ll enjoy throughout the year. Shoutout to Minnie, Olivia Marsh, Cocona, Elaine, and Kim Lim; this drama wouldn't be complete without your voice!!

A story of compassion behind manipulations
The plot of Dear X follows an actress who will do anything to stay on top and a man who loves her yet tries to bring her down. While the finale focuses on this central conflict, the story leading up to it explores manipulation and compassion.When people fail to show compassion, they often struggle to recognize it in others. For Ah Jin, goodness seemed tied to power and status, which led her to use those around her to maintain her position. Yet she overlooked a crucial truth: the people she exploited genuinely loved her for who she was—Cafe Boss, In Gang, In Gang’s grandmother, CEO Moon Do Hyuk, Jae Oh, and Jun Seo. Her ambition blinded her to their sincerity, causing everything to crumble—even after Jun Seo offered her a chance at redemption.
I also love the title Dear X. To me, the first “X” represents Ah Jin’s mother—the one who shaped her to become a monster that she is. The final “X” is Jun Seo—the person she aspired to be, her other self.
In essence, the “X” in Dear X is Ah Jin herself.
Manipulation is a common theme in K-dramas, often portrayed through strong female leads. But strength does not erase wounds or weaknesses. Baek Ah Jin stood out because of this complexity. Kim Yoo Jung masterfully portrayed her as both manipulative and vulnerable. Despite Ah Jin’s schemes, her pain and loneliness made her a character I sympathized with. Kim Young Dae and Kim Do Hoon complemented her brilliantly. Young Dae’s nuanced acting made Jun Seo’s emotions relatable, while Do Hoon’s calm yet emotionally rich performance captured Jae Oh’s subtle warmth. Together, the “Kim Trio” balanced the drama’s tension with depth and heart.
Among the supporting characters, my favorites were:
Cafe Boss, who showed Ah Jin genuine compassion from the start.
Jae Oh, a healing presence when Ah Jin struggled with herself.
Moon Do Hyuk, a complex figure who felt like a mix of Jae Oh and Jun Seo.
Jun Seo, the mirror of Ah Jin and the one who reflected her potential for love and honesty.
Writing this review shows how much I enjoyed Dear X. Unlike other dramas that focus solely on manipulation or the trope of a “strong female lead,” this series explored a delicate balance of manipulation and compassion. It highlighted how the characters’ emotions shaped Ah Jin’s life and hinted at what could have been if life had been kinder to her.
As for the ending—it is very Ah Jin: bittersweet and open. She loses the men who loved her, yet Moon Do Hyuk remains, waiting patiently, a testament to his genuine care.
It left me with the question "What if life was a bit nice to her?"

Articulated down to the bones
Dear X aims to show us a manipulative and sociopathic protagonist who, despite all the adversities she faces in life, always finds a way to excel and survive.The drama builds its narrative around Baek A-jin, a deliberately unlikeable protagonist whose arc rejects any promise of easy redemption. In theory, this is commendable. In practice, the script oscillates between the courage to observe and the temptation to over-explain. Dear X wants to be unsettling, but frequently softens the impact with excessive psychological justifications, as if fearing that the audience wouldn't tolerate the moral silence.The series adopts a temporal fragmentation intended to reflect the protagonist's broken psyche. However, this device isn't always used with dramatic rigor. At various points, the flashbacks function less as in-depth exploration and more as redundant reinforcement of an already established point: A-jin learned early on that affection is power. This insistence weakens the subtlety and creates a sense of didacticism disguised as complexity.Baek A-jin is the absolute axis of the work, but the text seems unable to decide whether to observe her or defend her. The result is a character who should be ambiguous, but who at times becomes excessively calculated by the script itself. The suffering is real, but carefully framed so as never to escape narrative control. There is a lack of risk. There is a lack of the possibility of her being truly inexplicable.In more mature psychological works, discomfort arises from what cannot be rationalized. Dear X, on the contrary, frequently rationalizes everything.The characters around A-jin exist mostly as symbolic functions, not as individuals. They are mirrors, triggers, or instruments of guilt. Few possess their own density. This impoverishes the conflict, as the world around the protagonist seems artificially organized to validate her trajectory, instead of confronting her in an unpredictable way.Visually, the drama is consistent with its proposal: cold, elegant, almost aseptic. The photography reflects the protagonist's emotional dissociation well, but this aesthetic becomes repetitive. The direction rarely breaks its own visual logic to create real shock or tension. Everything is too beautiful for a story that intends to talk about emotional degradation.Dear X wants to discuss misogyny, emotional exploitation, the cult of image, and the silent violence of fame. The themes are relevant, but the discourse sometimes slips into a comfortable critique, pointing out the system without ever allowing the viewer to feel complicit in it. The work denounces, but does not compromise.Dear X is an intellectually ambitious, aesthetically refined, and emotionally restrained drama for what it sets out to do. It observes pain with elegance, but rarely lets it escape the frame. It lacks brutality. It lacks the chaos that would make its protagonist truly disturbing.I would also like to comment on the cast's performance; from the leads to the supporting cast, everyone shines brightly and is certainly the key element of the drama. You Jung embodies the role, she completely becomes Ah Jin and doesn't let us doubt her performance for a single moment. And once again, she reminds us why she is Korea's passion!
It's not a shallow work. But it's also not as deep as it believes itself to be.
It's a well-articulated psychological study, but excessively self-aware—more concerned with appearing complex than with being truly devastating.

What should she have done then?
The lead actress asks the same question.Those who demand to deny choice in the pro-life vs pro-choice debate rarely volunteer to shoulder the hardships of the would be mother. Likewise, are the people condemning her willing to shield her from the forces bent on suffocating her?
This isn’t an endorsement of her actions nor an absolution, rather an invitation to recognize the weight and complexity of lives we do not live and acknowledge that moral certainty is easy when it is not us who bear the consequences.
It is one of several dramas with morally twisted protagonists but why I think the show rises above surface level appeal is that despite the cards already in her hands she does not seek to make her life more "interesting" than necessary. She moves through her world not looking for enemies who just happen to relentlessly come to punch her so she punches harder. Her actions stem from survival not villainous desire to orchestrate just anyone's downfall, though at some point it came at the cost of few innocent people.
The drama delivers an episode8-level bomb (kdrama watchers know this) as early as episode three. The first two are their own bam and kaboom too, then it breathes and adds enriching layers to the webtoon.
There are a few points where it falters:
Initially, the narrative moved as if it showed comic panels rather than achieving a seamless flow. The school antagonist's recklessness felt inconsistent with her status as a top student. It was strange that she would be bold enough to antagonize Ah Jin so publicly alone with minimal family influence. It still felt artificial, the acting still felt like a performance. She returns later to contribute little beyond superfluous screen time. The tension between Jae Oh and his father lacked, Ah Jin's manipulative lines to young Junseo bordered cartoonish- she was more subtle in the webtoon.
But by episode three, all of that changes. The emotions sharpen and the story takes off to find its rhythm.
The spectacular restraint gives the portrayal depth. Her laugh does not slip into an over-the-top deranged laugh and her cry bears no resemblance to the familiar cry of a wronged victim. She fills the spaces with an unsettling mix of emotions revealing an emotionally nuanced character, who is molded by circumstance so she decided to shape it in return. The show is brilliant at focusing on that. There is a toxic devotion in the background, sub themes of corruption, power, jealousy, meaning of love, the promise of a savior, but at the end of the day this is all about her and her story alone.
Whether the series wins you over or not, it is far from a wasted viewing. It offers several elements that are objectively impressive: the portrayal of the actors including the children, the storytelling choices, cinematography, the score and silence at the right moments. The parallels and symbolic imagery are fun subtle easter eggs for the sharp-eyed as well.
Ultimately on a viewer-level, suspense, delight, heartache, awe, disbelief, laughter, tears, laughter through tears, gripping hair .. DearX broke records for how fast it made me feel everything.

A review is not meant to judge the character’s personality but the value of the show
**SPOILER**People are leaving bad reviews because they’re upset Ah Jin never redeemed herself and Jae O and Jun Seo sacrificed themselves for nothing. I think every choice that was made by them was in line with their personality and makes sense. It started out toxic and stayed that way until the very end.
No one is defending her actions, the flicker of humanity in her eyes makes the audience hope things can get better but she’s damaged goods. She buried herself so deep in darkness, her admitting she’s wrong would make her whole world fall apart, she was never going to stop.
The story was captivating, the characters had depth, the actors were all amazing (especially Kim Yoo Jung). Let’s not leave negative reviews because they successfully portrayed the main character as the bad guy.

A child who has never known warmth will burn a village to feel it.......
I can honestly say the ending is great, it proves the strength of a woman and what a heavily abused woman must do to survive when All Odds Against her especially if she's been abused her whole life, specifically by men and some disgusting women. And every man in this drama used her in some form or fashion some of them were obviously horrifically abusive, others were psychologically and some men just wanted to possess her. I love the ending hopefully, there's a season 2.THIS DRAMA IS BASED OFF A WEBTOON NOVEL AND DOES DIFFER SOME.
CONTENT INCLUDES: SA/ CHILD SA / CHILD TRAFFICKING / CHILD PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ABUSE / CRIME / MURDER/VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

WOW.
Holy SHT.That's all I can say.
I'm speechless.
First of all. This drama deserves AWARDS!!!
LITERALLY. The acting is surreal. Baek Ah Jin AKA Kim Yoo-Jung. You did a phenomenal job protraying your character.
From a child who was abused. Used. And damaged to an Adult who is mistreated and toyed at.
She became confident in herself with the help of her 2 guy friends. And also for being an independent women.
I'm speechless on the character of Ah Jin. The ending may be ....off.... see what I did there? LMAO
But... the story was good.
The acting hooked me. The emotions and actions was just WOW. LIKE. TANGINA. ANG GANDA PUNYETA.
Some scenes truly made my cry. Mad. Pissed. Annoyed and hated but honestly im impressed.
I stopped reading the webtoon as I prefer live action but after finishing this drama. I yhink i wanna go and read it. To see if the ending are the same or different.
Overall.
Im thrilled.
It hurts to see the other characters get treated like that but from the perspective of AhJin... its her whos destroyed af.
The people around her LOVES her.
Its her who cant seem to appreciate it due to lack of love she received as a child.
She doesn't trust or feel the sincerity.
Whenever she feels it... it backfires her.
Which made her lose her mind.
Idk what else to say.
But this was truly an enjoyable drama!
It was worth waiting for every week.
Im proud of you Kim Yoo Jung!
And also to the 2 male main lead. I already knew Young Jae from other dramas but Kim Do Hoon caught my eyes.
He' such a perfectionate SIMP.
i love him!
His dedication to her.
The love. Just wow.
Would literally do anything to keep her safe and make her happy.
To those girls
Good job! You slayed it!!!
Amazing CAST
AMAZING DRAMA!!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS WEBTOON COME TO LIVE.
감사합니다 ♡♡
