Acquainting viewers with more details about the main leads of My Dearest, MBC dropped character posters ahead of the premiere.
My Dearest depicts the romance of a lover in the backdrop of Qing invasion of Joseon. It follows stories of the people who cultivated hope in times of hardship.
The drama reunites Namgoong Min with Director Kim Sung Yong with whom he worked in the series The Veil. Penning the script is writer Hwang Jin Young who wrote Rebel: The Thief Who Stole The People and The King’s Daughter, Soo Baek-hyang.
Namgoong Min (One Dollar Lawyer, Doctor Prisoner) portrays Lee Jang-hyun as a complex character with a natural playfulness. But inside, he has darkness not revealed to anyone.
Playing the female lead Yu Gil-chae is Ahn Eun Jin (The One and Only, Hospital Playlist). Gil-chae is a well-mannered lady from a prestigious family. She is a snobbish and arrogant person who believes that she is the center of the world and that she is God’s gift to men. But she gradually matured as she experienced the suffering of war and came to truly fall in love with a man.
Previously, the production team of My Dearest teased fans with character posters of the lead pair. They fell in a fateful love amidst a turbulent time.
Namgoong Min captures the heartbreaking feelings of love in the midst of a war with a single glance, and Ahn Eun Jin expresses a neat yet strong charm with her delicate side feature. Thus, the anticipation of prospective viewers soared to see how sad the love story of the two actors would meet.
Subsequently, the character posters of other main characters who will lead were released.
First, Nam Yeon-jun’s character poster draws attention. He is wearing clothes that are likely to go to war, not the fancy scholar clothes he has been wearing. In addition, his deep eyes gaze at someone. The text on the poster says: “I will die while saving the king“. Attention is focused on how the war will shake the life of Nam Yeon-jun, an upright man, and how Lee Hak Joo will express this dramatic situation.
You can’t miss the character poster of Kyung Eun-ae. In her poster, she is wearing a beautiful hanbok and looking out with burning eyes. It’s like she’s waiting for someone endlessly. And through the copy, “From today until the end, I am Seobang-nim’s person,” viewers can have a clue of who Eun-Ae is waiting for. As mentioned earlier by the production team, Lee Da In‘s graceful beauty and stable expressiveness are in perfect harmony with historical dramas, raising expectations for this drama.
The character poster of Ryang Eum (Kim Yoon Woo) is also impressive. In the series, he is close friends with Jang-hyun and is the best pansori singer in Joseon. Ryang-eum’s dazzling appearance with flowing long hair and sad eyes leaves a deep impression, making us look forward to the special charm Kim Yoon Woo will show in this drama. In particular, the copy “You don’t belong anywhere. But I belong to you” adds to the curiosity about the person he puts so deeply into his heart and how his life as a singer will be shaken by the war.
MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama My Dearest will be broadcast for the first time at 9:50 pm on Friday, August 4, 2023.
