Lee Yeol-eum, who plays the role of top star "Lena" in the original TVing 『Dear X" (played by Choi Won-soo, Ban Ji-woon, directed by Lee Eung-bok and Park So-hyun), which has been causing a heated response since its release, is acting as a key player to change the flow of the play, providing fun.
In the 5th and 6th episodes of "Dear X", Lena's story was unfolding, entangling Ajin (Kim Yoo-jung) in earnest and continuing a sharp war of nerves. Lena poured out her envy and hatred toward Ajin, who gradually threatened her position, saying, "I don't like Ajin," and deliberately threatening his acting on the set because it was awkward.
Among them, Lena was trapped by Ajin and gradually began to crumble. Previously, Lena first got a 'shackle file' containing the weaknesses of her and Ajin and even threatened him and slapped him in the face. However, everything was Ajin's meticulous plan to take Lena down from the moment she learned of the existence of the shackles, and Lena was shocked when she realized that she had played into Ajin's hands as the video of the day was released at the foundation anniversary party of Long Star Entertainment.
Lee Yeol-eum depicted the character in three dimensions by delicately expressing the confusing emotional lines of the character who changes from anger toward Ajin to anxiety and sadness of losing what he has, and the shock he felt after being hit by Ajin. It also drew attention by showing off various styles and colorful visuals every moment it appeared. In addition, the tight rivalry with Ajin further raised the tension of the play and also predicted a new relationship with Junseo (Kim Young-dae), raising questions about future developments.
Meanwhile, the TVing original Dear X, starring Lee Yeol-eum, is released every Thursday at 6 p.m. on TVing only.
