The TVing original 『Dear X" (played by Choi Jae-won and directed by Lee Eung-bok and Park So-hyun), which will be released for the first time on November 6, unveiled still cuts of Baek A-jin (Kim Yoo-jung) and Yoon Joon-seo (Kim Young-dae). I am even more curious about the stories of those who will be salvation and destruction for each other.
'Dear X' tells the story of Baek A-jin, a masked woman, and Xs brutally trampled on her to get out of hell and up to the highest point. It heralds the destruction of Baek A-jin, who hid his cruel true colors behind his beautiful face, and the birth of a doom melodrama suspense that captures the love of Yoon Joon-seo, who chose hell to protect him.
Attention is also focused on the first meeting between director Lee Eung-bok and TVing, who led a number of works such as 'Sweet Home'Mr. Sunshine'Goblin'Descendants of the Sun' Director Park So-hyun, who has sensuous and delicate directing skills, will join as co-director, and Choi Joo-won, who won the best prize in the KBS one-act play script contest in 2018, and Ban Ji-woon, the original webtoon writer, will co-write to present a high-quality well-made series.
While the more the veil is removed, the more hot the expectations are, the still cuts of Baek A-jin and Yoon Joon-seo released on the day induce affectionate excitement. First of all, Baek A-jin, soaked from head to toe in their school days, and Yoon Joon-seo, who wraps around him and leaves the classroom, draw attention. Baek A-jin's school life becomes noisy with unexpected characters and incidents, and Yoon Jun-seo always protects him from behind instead of stepping in front of him. In another photo, the close distance to Baek A-jin as if to touch him and the gaze that stays on Baek A-jin's face for a long time cause Yoon Joon-seo to synchronize his emotions and increase his heart rate.
However, there is a change in the relationship between those who have dug deep into each other's lives. Baek Ah-jin, who rose from the bottom to the top of his life and appeared as a `top star', is leaning on Yoon Jun-seo's arms. Baek Ah-jin's empty expression, which is still unknown, and Yoon Joon-seo's complex eyes, which have no movement in that state, make me more than ever wait for the doom melodrama suspense that the two will portray.
Kim Yoo-jung plays the role of a woman wearing a mask to survive 'Baek Ah-jin', and Kim Young-dae plays the role of a man 'Yoon Jun-seo' who believed salvation is love. The acting, visual and chemistry of the two actors, who will maximize the charm of the beloved characters since the original webtoon of the same name was published, are the best points to watch. Kim Yoo-jung said of Kim Young-dae "I felt that Yun Jun-seo had a pure child-like side. At that point, Kim Young-dae's clear appearance, gaze, and eyes seem to have expressed the character in more depth. Yoon Joon-seo, not Kim Young-dae, said, "It was Yoon Jun-seo himself, to an extent that I could not imagine."
Kim Young-dae also said "Kim Yoo-jung is Baek Ah-jin itself" and "He was completely immersed in the character so that he actually felt like Baek Ah-jin when acting in the field. Thanks to you, I was able to focus and concentrate on my emotions naturally" he said.
Meanwhile, the original TVing Dear X will be released for the first time on November 6 at 6 p.m. on TVing in episodes 1-4.
