idky the ML doesn't suit his character, his acting is so awkward... the story also became a bit awkward combined…
you should then watch animes, then you will realise how much facial expressions convey the emotions. His character portrayal is really good if you see the face not only focusing on subtitles……
I need recommendations of crime dramas that have an ML that thinks like Hansheng in solving cases.
give a try to "Monster-The Ed Gein Story (2025)", absoultly hard but i tell you it's based on true story as this story changes the whole psycho serial killer theory as what we see now
Can someone tell me if the love triangle is heavy??
love triangle whatt even worse penta-triangle with kissing scene b/w ml-fl, fl-sml, tml-tfl, show really getting on my nerve, just wanna erase that moments from my mind
so at the end , what will happen ? she will live with new face and her daughter ? and what will happen to junseo??…
I see that you have interest in anti-female lead stories... So here's your answers.
Yes, at the end of Dear X, Baek Ah Jin lives with a new face and her daughter in Hong Kong. The final encounter at the book signing event is the last scene and perfectly encapsulates the webtoon's dark, psychological themes.
Baek Ah Jin (Ah Jin): After her public downfall, she rebuilds her life in Hong Kong with a friend and gives birth to her daughter. An accident leads to her face being ruined, after which she gets plastic surgery and lives with a new appearance, completely unrecognizable. She delivers the ultimate, chilling message to Jun Seo: she is still a manipulator and her vengeance is a prolonged, calculated act, mirroring how he exposed her using her pregnancy.
Yoon Jun Seo (Y): He survives his suicide attempt and spends his remaining time attempting to atone for the numerous crimes he committed with Ah Jin against their victims. He writes a book detailing their twisted relationship and past, which he is signing in the final scene. He is left in a state of eternal torment and guilt, constantly haunted by the past and the reveal that Ah Jin inflicted a final emotional wound. He does not forget her; his life becomes about dealing with the aftermath of their time together.
Ah Jin was in a long-term, toxic relationship with Jun Seo. While she was about to announce her marriage at the time of the expose, it was likely to a prominent, wealthy figure (not Jun Seo), as a means to further her career and gain stability. She was using this as another manipulation tactic, as she had done with many other people in her life.
Jun Seo's Motivation: Jun Seo had been Ah Jin's loyal confidant and partner in crime for years, helping her manipulate people and navigate her dark past. He was deeply in love with her in his own twisted way and tried to "save" her, but eventually realized that she would never change and would continue to destroy lives.
Atonement and Breaking the Cycle: Jun Seo's decision to expose Ah Jin was a desperate attempt to stop her path of destruction and, simultaneously, atone for his own past actions and the guilt he carried. He broadcast her true sociopathic nature and crimes to the public to ensure her downfall, believing it was the only way to end their toxic entanglement. The act of exposing her while knowing she was pregnant was a brutal, but calculated, part of his plan to completely ruin her life, reflecting the depth of their fatal relationship. The subsequent guilt he felt led to his suicide attempt and later attempts at making amends to their other victims. The ending highlights that the betrayal was the only way he could break free, even if it meant a lifetime of torment for both of them.
Kim Jae Oh (Jao): While not present in the absolute final scene, his role earlier in the story is significant as he develops a fierce, protective loyalty to Ah Jin. His character serves as another pawn in the complex, abusive relationships and manipulations that dominate the narrative. His ultimate fate beyond his involvement in the main arc is less explicitly detailed in the final moments, as the focus shifts entirely back to the dynamic between Ah Jin and Jun Seo.
The Bookstore Scene: This is indeed the very last scene. It is a powerful and unsettling conclusion, leaving no room for a "happy ending" or true redemption. Ah Jin is still the "final boss" manipulator, and Jun Seo is left to live with the consequences and his guilt. It's a deeply psychological ending that emphasizes the cyclical nature of their toxic relationship and the absence of a clean resolution. The "betrayal" by Jun Seo was his way of trying to absolve himself of his own crimes, but it ultimately bound him to Ah Jin forever and her final act of revenge.
