MBC’s new Friday and Saturday drama, My Dearest, will premiere its first episode this Friday KST. My Dearest is a human history melodrama that deals with people and lovers during the Quing invasion of Joseon. All eyes are on Namkoong Min, who is playing mysterious Lee Jang Hyun because this drama is his first historical drama in 10 years – such a long time! Not only that, Ahn Eun Jin, who plays a socialite from a noble family, will also play Namkoong Min’s lover in the series.
A Person Who Was Pessimistic about Love Meets a Woman
When Namkoong Min was asked about his character, Lee Jang Hyun, he stated that his character originally has a very negative idea about love. Love can set your heart on fire but is something that you can lose in a blink of an eye. He added the process of Lee Jang Hyun meeting Yoo Gil Chae and slowly realizing and learning about true love will be interesting to the viewers. Lee Jang Hyun’s character is very attractive in a way that he was so selfish, but after meeting Yoo Gil Chae, everything changes for him.
First Historical K-Drama in 10 Years
Since Namkoong Min is playing this charming, boastful character, he fiercely tried his best to channel this new character’s energy. Namkoong Min said, one of the important factors he’s learned by playing various characters is that you have to create your own perspective of the character. What does he look like, what is his style like, and these altogether eventually help him closely focus on the character more. It’s been 10 years since acting in a historical era, so he really tried hard to overcome the unfamiliarity with the way someone in this era would speak, walk, and behave.
Where to Watch My Dearest?
You can watch My Dearest this Friday the 4th KST. And it will be subbed in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Stay tuned for Namkoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin’s love story in the Joseon era, on KOCOCWA+.
