SAVED BY HWANG IN YEOP!!!
I honestly went crazy watching this drama because of Hwang In-yeop. He is insanely handsome, and once again, he doesn’t disappoint when it comes to acting. Every scene he’s in just hits harder.
If I’m being real, the male second lead’s acting felt stronger than the main lead’s (lol). He brought more depth, more emotion, and somehow made every interaction feel more meaningful. And yes — I shipped him with the female lead so badly 😭 It felt more natural, more painful, and way more emotionally convincing.
Plot-wise, I actually really liked the story. It’s heavy, emotional, and uncomfortable in the way a good drama is supposed to be. I felt incredibly sorry for In-gang. Some scenes were honestly hard to watch because of how tragic and overwhelming her situation was. There were moments where I almost couldn’t continue because it hurt too much.
Overall, Dear X might not be perfect, but for me, it was carried hard by Hwang In-yeop’s performance and the emotional weight of the story. Painful, frustrating, but also addicting.
