The TVing original 『Dear X" (Choi Won-soo's Ban Ki-woon script, directed by Lee Eung-bok and Park So-hyun) is receiving a hot response that does not cool down even in the second week of its release. While the main character Baek A-jin (Kim Yoo-jung) began to run toward the top, new characters and relationships emerged, raising the level of immersion with a more interesting development.
As a result, the number of paid subscribers topped the list for two consecutive weeks as of the TVing weekend, drawing attention. In addition, it achieved the feat of topping the global OTT ranking site FlixPatrol for two consecutive weeks in the HBO Max TV show category, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Taiwan. On top of that, it ranked No. 1 in Viki in the U.S. and Canada and ranked third in Japan's Disney+, realizing its global popularity.
Meanwhile, in the 5-6 episodes of 'Dear X', which was released on the 13th, Baek A-jin's crisis and opportunities as an actor were depicted. As Baek A-jin emerged as a new star upon her debut, Lena (Lee Yeol-eum)'s jealousy and checks began. After leaking information about the 'shackle file' kept by CEO Seo Mi-ri (Kim Ji-young), Lena tried to gain an edge over Baek A-jin by holding it first. However, Baek A-jin issued a strong warning by reading Lena's shallow water and releasing a video of his true self at the venue of Long Star Entertainment's foundation anniversary.
In the meantime, another dangerous person appeared trying to shake Baek A-jin's acting life. He was Park Dae-ho (Shin Mun-sung), a detective in charge of the death of Baek Sun-kyu (Bae Soo-bin), who appeared with a long-standing sense of retaliation against Baek A-jin and threatened to reveal the past. Yoon Joon-seo (Kim Young-dae) and Kim Jae-oh (Kim Do-hoon) desperately blocked Baek Ah-jin after learning this. And Baek A-jin made a plan to head higher. It was intended to make him a perfect side of himself to use the stairs to climb the Hein River. Heo In-gang properly caught the trap set by Baek Ah-jin and predicted an unpredictable aftermath.
The 7-8 episodes of the original 『Dear X" will be released at 6 p.m. on the 20th.
