"Dear X" (친애하는 X) distinguishes itself by delving into darker, more psychological territory than most K-dramas. Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, this series doesn't offer the usual comic relief or romantic tropes, but instead focuses on an intense and complex story of trauma, manipulation, and ambition.
Kim Yoo-jung's portrayal of Baek Ah-jin is simply masterful. She manages to capture the character's duality, being at once charming, ruthless, and deeply damaged, making you feel a strange mix of repulsion and sympathy.
The drama tackles serious issues such as child abuse, personality disorder, and trauma bonding.
"Dear X" is a must-watch series for those looking for a K-drama that dares to explore the darkness of the human psyche and go beyond the clichés.
