The much-anticipated K-drama 'Dear X', starring Kim Yoo Jung and Kim Young Dae, has finally premiered, and fans are already buzzing about what promises to be one of the year's most intense melodramas. The series, which began on November 6, 2025, follows the fascinatingly complex Baek Ah Jin, a celebrated actress loved by the public for her incredible charm and kind-hearted image. However, in private, Ah Jin is still grappling with the deep scars and trauma of her past, using a polished exterior as a suit of armor to protect the life she's fought so hard to build.

Alongside Ah Jin is her childhood friend Yoon Jun Seo, played by Kim Young Dae, who has always been her rock. But as Ah Jin's hidden truths and desperate choices start to come to light, their bond is strained to a breaking point.

With its powerful performances and a strong ensemble cast, the series is shaping up to be one of Kim Yoo Jung's most demanding and transformative roles yet.
