Yaa May 07 2026 2:51 am My Dearest ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Lee Jang-Hyun = Top! Namkoong Min played this character so perfectly. Seriously… so cool, smart, funny, and very charismatic.

The way he walks confidently with his fan, but still looks very masculine wow. He is clever, a successful businessman in that era, good at talking with important people, and most importantly… very loyal. A real man is like that. Once he truly chooses one woman, one is enough. Episode 21 made me cry so much. Finally seeing Lee Jang-Hyun and Yoo Gil-Chae together again… ah, my heart ?

Yoo Gil-Chae = played by Ahn Eun-Jin, was also Amazing. She perfectly showed how women can be proud, stubborn, cheerful, emotional, and still strong enough to survive difficult times.

The writer really understands women through Gil-Chae’s character.

The struggles between these two characters were so heavy and emotional, but written in such a detailed and beautiful way.

Honestly, I’m very surprised. Nowadays many K-dramas only have 12 or 16 episodes, but this drama bravely made 21 episodes.

And honestly? Writer, You Are Amazing. You really did a great job. No wonder this drama won the Baeksang Award ❤️

To the writer, director, all casting and all the team behind this drama, thank you so much. Please stay healthy always.

Now I’m curious to see Lee Jang-Hyun and Gil-Chae living happily together, building a family, and having children.

I will wait for Season 3. Please give us more funny, sweet, emotional, and heartwarming moments again.

I’m sure many people will never get bored of this story and will wait for Season, because we are love My Dearest.

Goodjob to all of you ❤️

Nadia Mar 06 2026 9:47 am I’ve been watching K-dramas since 2006, but I usually avoid historical dramas because I’m not ready to deal with sad endings. Back then, I almost decided to watch this drama because of the massive ratings it received, but in the end I didn’t.

Recently, I accidentally came across a video about it on Instagram. Before I knew it, I had already started watching though not before quickly checking on Google to see if the drama had a sad ending or not.

And I’m so glad I did. It was just superb. Nam Goong Min is one of the few actors who truly knows how to pick great scripts, and he never disappoints. I’m really glad I ended up watching this. Such a masterpiece. I’ll definitely be watching it again.

Ayomide Nov 06 2025 3:53 pm I started watching kdramas properly in 2024, and i've seen many incredible dramas but My Dearest takes the cake for me. I'm still in tears and I don't know what to watch next, so I'm rewatching it (as well as the bts). This drama truly taught me how love can show up without saying it, how to be patient and how to be brave. I enjoyed the history aspect of the story too, seeing how Joseon before, during, and after the Qing invasion gives me a new profound for Korea, which is needed as kdramas filled a void in heart. I see a lot of myself in both Gil-Chae and Jang-Hyeon too, the actors portrayed them very well. I can only hope as an aspiring actor myself I can act with much conviction as they did, and as a person I can love and be loved as Gil-Chae and Jang-Hyeon did (minus the war ofc).

Dody Sep 02 2025 3:32 pm I recently watched it and was not expecting this phenomenal level of acting, storyline, and scenery. It is an iconic drama, featuring amazing acting skills from Nam Koong Min. I definitely ached for the hero each time his good deeds didn't pay off, each time he was misunderstood, but the ending soothed that a lot. Thanks to all who contributed to this wonderful masterpiece.

MonBell Aug 28 2025 4:52 am Fenomenal. What a man! What a story! And those lines, what a show. Ok at start you have this vibe of "Gone with the wind" just made in Korea, but it unfolds to superb storytelling which original "quite frankly" lacks in some aspects (hehe pun intended). It states deep questions which has no simple answers, and the lines between main characters are delivered flawlesly, without a doubt its a gem within k-dramas. Hands down, one of my top 3.

Charly Jul 19 2025 2:41 pm I loved this series, the story, the acting everything about this show ... sad, funny, serious, very sad . Anyway this series has got me watching other Korean shows .... they're awesome it's a massive change from watching American shows . Thank you

charly Jun 23 2025 8:20 am There's too many things to say about this series and i absolutely loved watching it. It has to be one of the best Korean series I've watched.

Shaoly Jan 15 2025 2:09 pm Just finished this drama.....the whole story was really amazing until the last episode, The script was strong too but in the last episode everything became so chaotic, that disappointed me very much....It could be a Masterpiece but the last ep ruined that....

Amjaba Nov 07 2024 4:14 am Oh my goodness. If there was a perfect way to wrap up this chaotic story, this was it. The male lead in this drama plays his role so well, he makes you feel everything and more. And the female lead, sending him away in chapter 1 was heart wrenching to watch. She told her story well. Such character growth from the start to the end. The lead males character and his loyalty the entire series shone through. This drama is one of the best I have seen in a while.

Sera Oct 24 2024 12:10 am Wait I'd like to add that I completely missed the [SPOILER] Crown Prince's & Crown Princess' death in my comment below!

Historically, it happened in 1645. So the main events in the drama happened around 1636–1645 (spanning 9–10 years), which is why Gil Chae's growth looks so apparent (but weirdly she's the only one who looks grown in the end lmao all the others don't change much from Episode 1 to the last few episodes).

From 1645 to 1659 there's a 14-year-time skip which is totally unnecessary and isn't handled well. The amnesia trope was funny for the first time and kinda understandable given the severe beating to the head, but the second one? Totally unnecessary to repeat the same trope twice. Ruined the drama for me T.T

Anyways the acting and cinematography are on fire!!

Please watch it for the casts, they really did their best here especially Namgoong Min. I'll keep an eye on his next works, but Lee Jang Hyeon role is definitely something that will stay with me for a long time.

Sera Oct 23 2024 9:31 am This is my first ever comment here, and I must say Wowww what a roller coaster of emotion it was! ?

I've become a fan of Namgoong Min because of this series, truly superb acting. His emotional scenes, fighting scenes, everything—it really feels like he's become Lee Jang Hyeon, like the character truly lives and breathes. You could even see his pain and longing just by looking at his eyes and micro expression. Amazing.

Ahn Eun Jin does a phenomenal work too and I love Gil Chae, but Jang Hyeon steals every scene he appears in—he's on a league of his own.

The ending leaves me with a lot of questions tho. According to Episode 1, it's been 23 years.

Ryang Eum scenes in the prison were from 1659 and then it went back to Neungunri in 1636, just a little bit before Jin's invasion that historically happened in 1637.

However, only Ryang Eum got old, the others like Gil Chae, Yeon Joon, Eun Ae and Jang Hyeon stay the same lol.

We also never know why Ryang Eum was jailed and why he went crazy over the years.

Anyways it's just a small observation of mine, I just found it confusing and kinda bothersome.

But the acting and cinematography more than make up for these plot holes, the leads chemistry is on point and it's one of the most epic love stories ever told in K-drama.

Queen k Oct 02 2024 1:52 am Oh, my dearest, I found myself watching it again immediately after the first viewing. All 21 episodes are impeccable. I must say, this is the best Korean drama I have ever seen. My God, what??? I can't get over this drama; I'm at a loss for words to express my feelings honestly. I'm utterly in love with this dram, it's an excellent piece indeed.

Queen K Sep 20 2024 1:37 pm There’s no better title for this drama than the title given to it. Excellent ? Excellent drama. Oh my, master piece. The actors delivered all the right emotions. Such a tear jerker. I can’t get this drama off my mind, I can’t think of anything else. Such an emotional story with a great ending. They went through a lot but they carried each other in their spirits. I commend the actors for this excellent delivery

Queen K Sep 19 2024 10:34 am Okay, this drama is an excellent drama. I can’t seem to focus on anything else till I get done with this drama. Currently in Ep 14, What Was Jang Thinking When He Climbed The Auction Stand And Started Asking Why? He’s a smart man, he should have just quietly done his business. Any ways, that was a way to stretch the drama. Very interesting, I love ❤️

Nadya Feb 10 2024 12:54 pm Best drama ever... winning prize drama quality....good script.and beautiful ending..Soo effortless...amazing acting from Namkoong Min and Ahn Eun-Jin...you are amazing guess...good chemistry guys...very very beautiful...the Jang Hyun line when he beg and seduce Gill Chae are got me deep...wow...Namkoong Min Oppa..sarangheoo....

Mike Jan 18 2024 12:12 pm My Dearest Parts 1 and 2, excellent drama, 5/5, now one of my favorites: excellent production, direction, all cast performances. I especially loved the performances of Ahn Eun-Jin, GilChae, and Namkoong Min, Jang Hyun, their eyes/expressions were heartfelt, very emotional. The ending was perfect, emotional and perfect! This drama received many well-deserved awards. I also loved Miyeon's OST song and her video singing the song. For me, this drama is a must see.

Magus Jan 16 2024 12:31 am First time I saw Nam Koong Min in unemployed romance and after I become fan of him. I want to see him more dramas . He's a best actor. And good thing My Dearest have a good ending. 10/10.

KST Jan 14 2024 1:02 pm I just finished watching the part 2. It is really happy to see the couple got together at last. This drama is really different from other historical dramas. This drama 's cinematography was really impressive. The acting was also great. Namkoong kim.and Ahn eun ji has a great chemistry. Anyway I feel sorry for the character of Ryang eum. He has a great devotion and one side love for jong hyun. But his love and passion towards jong hyun was never accepted by Jong hyun or anyone. Anyhow I will recommend this drama to all.

WK Jan 05 2024 3:15 am The whole story drags and there are alot of things very improbable, like why the dearest couple let Ryang Eum stay in jail and not rescue him?

Nea Dec 27 2023 10:06 pm i just finished it. best drama this year...which many great actor. i hope all actor healthy and happy.

Rachelle Dec 23 2023 7:31 pm I just finished it, best drama !! Loved it

ahn eunjin’s new lifetime fan ? Dec 17 2023 1:47 am where do i even start oh my god. i’ve been watching kdramas half of my life and i’ve never seen such a beautiful and flawless series. plot was amazing, i think the time setting was incorporated well with their stories. the delivery was exceptional, all the actors had eyes that convey everything you need to know about their characters. the story flow was flawless. no confusing moments, no unnecessary scenes, i’d say its mostly linear with just a few time jumps so it was reaaaally easy to follow. to even mention, it really was hooking. script, so beautiful and well written. jang hyun hears flowers blooming whenever he sees gil chae’s smile. sir, how are you speaking fluent in poetry. ost was also chefs kiss. i always get goosebumps i hear eunjin’s voice playing over her scenes— its like you hear her emotions. you see her emotions through her acting and hear it also with the ost. that’s the epitome of storytelling.

mr sunshine was my top 1 for a while but this one’s tooooo good ???

Watch My Dearest U'll Be Doing Urself A Favor

Hatetheking Dec 15 2023 3:56 pm Can Korean explain here, really King of Joseon sooooooooooooooo baaaaaddddddddddd like this????? Ok, maybe most of the king in the world same like king in this drama. So sad ...

Dreamer Dec 13 2023 7:38 am An Amazing display of Content..My Favourite Nam Koong Min's drama and I first saw Ahn Eun Jin and loved her dearly.. her acting, presence and skills (not to forget Singing) was out mind blowing.. This should be the best KDrama of this year as well as of next year and I don't think I gonna get something of this quality anytime soon..

Yvi Dec 01 2023 12:29 pm Does somebody know how much time passed from the first to the last episode? And how much time passed between the final battle at the beach and the reunion with Gil Chae?

dramadramadrama Nov 29 2023 10:32 am a great drama. I liked part 1 better than part 2 though. Yes it was a good ending and there were many touching and lovely parts, but it was frustrating at times when the female lead couldn't just be honest with her feelings and it kept bouncing back between the two. However, it was a good ending just strange how they played the "forgetful" card twice in this drama. Still, a good historical drama

Jessy Nov 25 2023 1:18 am Finally the ending is worth the wait!! Thank you..

Autumntale Nov 24 2023 12:49 pm Just finished watching this superb drama. The 1st saeguk I've ever loved! Daebak for the plot...the ending...the characters...the acting of the actress and actors !! Oh i love all the chemistry between them! Cried a lot.. and hate at the same time. Never bored and even with 21 eps i can bare it and finished only in 2 days hahaha I'll pick this as my one of rewatch drama ❤️✨

BMR39 Nov 23 2023 2:45 pm Rae, your words caught my own feelings.

It feels special to have seen the original showing of one of the greatest, if not the greatest of all k-dramas. My Dearest is artistry and storytelling of the highest order in every way. 연인 is a magnificent tapestry of human characters from the worst or weakest to the very best. The dialogs are usually short and fast but penetrating. We feel them intensely. They stir rainbows of emotions and thoughts. They make us follow the changes of every character over time. And they also make us reflect upon ourselves for brief moments.

There are many moving scenes that we shall not forget. The last 10 minutes of Episode 17 are beautiful, powerful and deeply moving. They show Min Nam-koong and Ahn Eun-jin - and the entire invisible drama crew behind them - at their very best.

Bright, proud and courageous Yu Gil-Chae has been hurt to her very core by the rape she lived through in Simiang. Tense, she hesitantly voices her fear of a devastating rejection to Lee Jang-Hyun. But Jang-Hyun quietly finds the spare, considerate and powerfully healing words that restore Gil-chae’s self-worth and let her feel that their love is not only alive but deeper than ever. Here Min Nam-koong is at his very best, and so is Ahn Eun-jin.

What a precious gift ! My Dearest itself is the rarely heard sound of flowers: 꽂소리 ...

karen123 Nov 22 2023 8:53 am i cant wait for the leads to get awards as recognition for their great performance.

karen123 Nov 22 2023 8:53 am both leads acting is just sooo superb.

Yol A Nov 21 2023 9:56 am I need part 3, 4, etc... want to see the three chickens pop out the eggs, drinking the wine... and Jang Hyun gets Ryang Eum back.... Anyway, this drama is sooooooo good, so beautiful and the acts for all the actors are worth to wait.... Bravo for all the team...

Akram Nov 21 2023 8:25 am What a wonderful wonderful drama. Loved it. Namkoong min’s acting was absolutely amazing. The characters of this drama were so refreshingly different. All the actors were very good. Story was excellent. Very enjoyable. Well done to he director, writer and producer.

Rae D Nov 20 2023 11:39 pm There are so many extraordinary kdramas, but I can say that, for me, none are as remarkable as My Dearest. As I watched the sublime ending, I rested in a feeling of awe and wonder at what has been created here. I will never know what it took to produce this masterpiece, but every moment of it has saturated my heart and soul with such deep emotion. So many thanks to the phenomenal actors, writers, and production team. I hope you know the significance of what you have gifted to us.

I've never voted before, and messed it up with an 84% rating. I actually give it 100.

Gil chae Nov 20 2023 8:03 am Love the ending. What great cast and crew they gave a lot their best in this series. I will miss gil chae and Lee jang hyun.i hope eun-jin and namkoong min have so many awards in this series. Bravo..

Jeisygd Nov 20 2023 2:29 am The best drama I have seen since the Moon embracing the Sun. I loved every aspect of it, except EA's husband. What a poor excuse of a man, to the end I was hoping he would die. I am so glad our FL found what true love is like. They deserve many awards, I will rewatch so many times.

KungjuMae Nov 20 2023 1:08 am The historical Kdrama with the best ending ever. Congratulations. It deserves multi-award to baeksang/daesang

Bimini Nov 19 2023 5:46 pm Very well written combined with outstanding performances. All the layers, subtleties, and nuances. The timing of this series couldn't have been better. Loved it to the end.

Cathy T Nov 19 2023 4:22 pm ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved this drama from the beginning to the end of Part 2 (hopefully not the end). Although brutal, the actors were amazing and the story lines were superb. The ending was so worth waiting for. I expect they and this drama will receive a lot of awards. Please do more seasons to see their lives and Ryang-Eum in full bloom???

Melissa Nov 19 2023 2:40 pm I give this 5 stars. It's a riveting symphony of genres... a must-watch series!!

This series left me utterly captivated from start to finish. It's a gem that seamlessly weaves together an intricate tapestry of genres, delivering a concoction of intrigue, comedy, drama, action, and romance that kept me on the edge of my seat and, quite frankly, begging for more.

The brilliance of this series lies in its ability to masterfully balance multiple genres without missing a beat. From heart-pounding action sequences to moments that made me laugh, the storytellers have truly crafted a narrative that caters to a diverse range of emotions.

maggie Nov 19 2023 9:07 am Thank you for the happy ending. Gongmin best actor!!! ??????

Maggie Nov 19 2023 9:05 am This drama deserves a lot of awards. I love the actors especially Gong min. You didn't disappoint me. Good luck for more project. And I'm waiting for another romcom and ofcourse with action

.

Aimen Nov 19 2023 8:49 am I remember before starting this drama I was wondering if it would be worth watching or not...But I started because I love GoongMin oppa sm...Only after 1 episode, I was Obsessed....and now I didn't want it to end....I wanna watch them forever..ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ♡♡♡♡♡

Chimmy Nov 19 2023 8:10 am Great sageuk drama! Nam Goong Min never disappoints...and found a new gem in Ahn Eun-Jin. Looking forward to daesang awards this year! Fighting!

Fanibnida Nov 18 2023 10:34 pm I have loved every single episode of this show. Very well done. But then again, I have watched and liked all the works by this writer. She writes good love stories.

Suzan Nov 18 2023 4:04 pm I could really give thumbs up to the writters and directors..This story keeps being intriguing like it's difficult to predict the next part so keeps you curious all the time and you get to feel multiple emotions..I just hope they will have a happy ending after all the ups and downs

Victoria's Nov 18 2023 11:51 am I really love this.. It makes me Cry,Laugh and feel loved...???

To salty Nov 18 2023 9:28 am This drama make me cry alot :'(

Dave Nov 18 2023 5:01 am Best kdrama of 2023 for me...!!

hihi Nov 17 2023 11:52 pm why need to add one more episode ??? i want they can have a happy ending ???

Gil Nov 14 2023 5:37 am I hate gak hwa...

Yhugee Nov 13 2023 6:57 pm This drama is epic. I loved how Gil chae character grew into an amazing and dependable woman. The love story between Gil chae and lee hang Hyun made me sad, angry, smile and most times hopeful. Lol…. I felt tons of emotions. Lee jang Hyundai is definitely my mannnnn

I wonder how this story would end but I’m really rooting for fate not separate them at the end. The suspense is at its peak but I hope the writer can give us a good ending like they did in alchemy of souls(I couldn’t believe they would be able to end the story in the last two episodes but they did). Being hopeful the writer would wrap it up with something pleasant and magical for us.

Jussttee. Nov 13 2023 3:19 pm I just saw that they extended it by one episode.

Lfgggggggg. Ryang-Eum is going to die for jang-hyun tho. I have a strong feeling about this.

Jussttee. Nov 13 2023 3:17 pm Here after episode 19 and here's what I think.

They are definitely extending this drama right? Coz there's no way it'd address all the huge changes that happened with just an episode.

Jang-hyun's dad,the crown prince's death,the princess coming to Joseon, jang-hyun's past. A lot of things to address actually. Well,I'm waiting for the writer to work his magic..

Also,I like the plot twist in episode 19. The amnesia card gat me rolling... Who knew Namkoong-min could act childish? Anyways, aggressively anticipating episode 20.

Hwaitingggggggggg.

Rosalina Nov 11 2023 10:30 am I can't anymore .... This drama is making me sad, happy, furious, smiling, crying... Why are they torturing us :( It's by far the best drama I have ever watched with a history of 100+ kdramas.

Shirin Nov 11 2023 7:17 am Nice work , good on you all

Mallory Nov 10 2023 8:28 pm This Drama was beautifully written. The suspense is awesome. I love this series. You did a good job selecting the actors, which I believe adds to the overall story. It makes you laugh, cry, get excited and sad. I can't say enough about the music selections I don't speak Korean, so I am having a different experience than some, but you have definitely earned my appreciation for this series. Thank you all so much. Only complaint: I don't like waiting an extra day on Viki to watch it.

GreatWD Nov 10 2023 8:18 pm I could not watch esp 18 just to painful.

Aimen (RyangEum's hater) Nov 09 2023 1:08 pm I just ended episode 5 (I know, I'm late but I had exams ㅠㅠ) and mannnn that I hate RyangEum even more now.....I hated him in Season 1 but I was starting to dislike him a bit in season 2...But the moment he called GilChae "a curse to JangHyun", I lost every drop of "like" for him.....I know , GilChae used to be a bit immature but not now....Now, she's the most gorgeous lady out there.... + Have you ever seen the most heartwarming smile JangHyun has on his face whenever he sees GilChae, ahhhhh man, I want someone to look at me like that..ㅠㅠ No matter how close RyangEum is to JangHyun or how much he loves him, there is no justification of how badly he treats GilChae

Hiraya Nov 09 2023 9:10 am I rewatched the season 1 while waiting the next episode (episode 18) ... the 2nd time I watched the season 1 and the scene... about Gilchae's dream is a Hint ... a hint that distance is not a hindrance between them because at the end of the day they will end up together. Gilchae running towards Janghyun and passing all the obstacles encountered just to see him at the end...

Hoping that Writer will give them a happiest ending.

Cinch Nov 08 2023 3:36 pm I enjoyed this drama so so so much from the beginning ,but I must confess,the most beautiful and heart warming lines is in ep 17....jang hyun character is a die for.if I have such a man in my life, I will be the most happiest and luckiest lady in the universe. Gil chae; "what if I say a foreign intruder took an advantage of me" My man:then I should give you a hug, it must have been hard , you must've suffered" What a heartwarming scene. I watched that scene countless times

But I guess,such a man exists only in TV

Hana Nov 06 2023 8:27 am I really loved this drama to the point that I can’t stop myself from watching it and makes me forget to do other things hahaha but it only pains me and still gets me curious about the beginning and ending of the series. In the first episode, it seems like the first 20 mins (I think) is a foreshadow where Lee Jang Hyun, who was full of blood on his clothes, was being chased by group of men carrying their own weapons. Huwaaa I can’t.!

I Am Hoping For A Happy Ending Between Lee Jang Hyun and You Gil Chae.!

Timoffey Nov 06 2023 5:44 am "I should hug her. She must be suffering, It was very painful, wasn't it?" I rewatching multiple times latest episode (episode 17) and still crying when I heard Janghyun said those lines sincerely to GilChae. I felt like he said that for me...

This is my favorite kdrama of all time. I've been watching kdrma since I was grades school and now that I've college graduated I still watching kdrama to feed my boring life.

This is the first time that I obsessed with Male actor (the Man who play as Janghyun) This Man is a one of the best actor for me. His acting is versatile and I can say that he is always gave his 100% effort to make sure the series will be successful and worth to watch. I am actually one of those people who doesn't watch kdrma because they're goodlooking or trendy actors. I am those people who watch drama based on the plot. Storyline and the way the actors perfectly played the role with their best. I hope they won a lot of rewards for this series because it's a great series that I watched since I started watching kdramas. And aso to the Gil Who played GilChae. I love her since Hospital Playlist. I love her cheeky smile.

I hope korean entertainment always creates a worthy kseries like this.

Janghyun will always has special part with my heart. I hope NamkoongMin creates more drama in the future because I always wanna watch him. To the writers and director and also to all the staff and crews great job and congratulations.

AmakaBTS Nov 05 2023 6:05 pm The female lead looking a lot like alchemy of souls,Jung so min! They can pass as twin sister They look so alike Jin and Min

AmakaBTS Nov 05 2023 6:04 pm This is now my most favorite historical drama for this year. I was glued to the screen till episode 10 where I was disappointed that Gil chae married that lying officer. It hurts me Jang hyun wasn't the one who first had her ??? but the officer. I even wished he marries the princess. He suffered a lot but then Gil chae also suffered.

Nevertheless can we get a happy ending? I wouldn't want him to die just like the beginning of episode 1 where he was fighting a war while greatly outnumbered. A miracle should just happen. I want him married happily with Gil chae and have beautiful kids. I know he is going to sleep with her in episode 18??. God I love Namkoong min in this movie, didn't know he was the one in remember,the villain there. He's so real and handsome I fell in love with him but then he's married ???

Chunn Nov 05 2023 2:37 pm Now my most favorite and best kdrama I’ve watched of all time!

Jia Nov 05 2023 3:22 am I try to watch this drama because it keeps appearing on my tiktok. I'm glad that I watched this awesome full packed with good actors, Well written, and the cinematography is chefkiss. NamkoongMin always gave his 101% that's why all of his drama are worthy. And lastly, I never expect that ahn Eun jin has a spectacular performance in this series. From guillable Gilchae to matured Gilchae. Please gave them a Daesang award.

Ash Nov 04 2023 9:28 am One of the best historical kdrama TT it has been a while. My first kdrama of NKM & i fell in love!!! Will watch other kdrama of him. & i always love eunjin acting hehe. Both of them should be best couple award!! This kdrama quite balance with romance & historical. Saeguk always has special place in my heart^^ finishing 16 episodes within 2 days hahahaha. Hope there’s happy ending with gilchae & jaehyun.

Ricriz Nov 03 2023 11:09 pm Korean drama series is my favorite, I fell in love to this kind of series when I watched the "Moon Lovers" (still waiting for the season 2 because obviously it has and must have!). Well, back to My Dearest, I was a bit disappointed to Gil Chae because she didnt chose Jang Hyun who loves her so much...but I think the tradition or culture has a big impact to Gil Chae as a lady of that time. I am still getting excited in every episode that what Jang Hyun will do and what to decide for both of them. Way to go to the Writer and Director of this series. Good luck and hoping for an amazing ending in the name of Love!

Mischelle Fields Nov 03 2023 5:02 pm I went back to watch from the beginning while I waited for new episodes. I realized to my broken heart that the 2 would not end up together but was glad to see Ryum sitting in a crazy bin waiting for his love not to be. Sometimes it is OK to give viewers the obvious. Life can he so depressing that it would have made the show even better for them to end together, although a good cry over his loss would be memorable too. I've been waiting for something as good as Mr. Sunshine & Love in the Moonlight. This surpasses all my expectations, not to mention the fantastic musical score. This show wins in everything--GC's growth, Lee's growing humility but strong male persona, and the strength of all others. Impressive!

Alex Nov 03 2023 7:21 am This Series is korean „war and peace“ . This drama takes place during second Manju invasion, and is twingled with tragic fate of the crone prince. The first episode starts with hopeles battle of Lee Jang Hyun, so there cant be a happy ever after. But even so, im hooked. I love all characters and i‘m absolutely amased by skills of all actors, but especially main cast.

Annabelle Nov 01 2023 9:02 pm The ending is so boring I'm waiting for the part 2.

Jia Oct 31 2023 10:54 am I love how the writer well written the character of ML (JangHyun) I fall in love with him over and over also how Gil Chae matured though out the difficulties she had experienced. But... I always crying every episode especially when they separated again. Please give them a happiest and satisfying ending.

Wishing NamkoongMin and Ahn Eun Jin will receive a daesang awards for their both spectacular performance.

chocoo Oct 31 2023 2:12 am Not my favorite type of drama, but because Namgoong Min is the male lead, this drama won't fail to interest me. After a long time not watching a drama as good as this. I felt all the emotions reflected in the actor's eyes. Ahn Eun Jin is also very good here, her portrayal of GC's character has really developed from the first and second seasons. I hope this drama gets more attention and love. i wish the endings will satisfy, I just can't imagine I will get heart broken if this end sad ,,,

Robyn Cook Oct 31 2023 12:22 am What an incredibly complex and diversified story embracing the history of Korea in the early days of time. The invasion of the Mongolians changed the entire country's direction. The inter-woven storyline shows the stark differences in attitudes of every day life in the morals and beliefs of two totally different attitudes to life and futures of each Country.

The parts played by all Actors are exceptional. Standouts for sure for the best part but the development of the storyline at times felt too slow, especially the relationship of the main Actors. All that being said, it would be a dream to have 4 episodes dropped each week for all of those fans, like myself, who are absorbed in this incredible story. and especially Actor Nam Goong Min (best Korean Actor ever). Hopeful of seeing him in other series

Iris Oct 30 2023 8:51 pm One of the best saeguk drama ever.. kudos for the team production. The script are very well written. The acting are very on the top notch. Even thought the drama always tease us with the unpleasant scene but it's really worth to watch. The strong love between JH and GC are the key of this drama and not forget the supporting character really complete it. Nam Goong Min & Ahn Eun-Jin deserves an award.. Daesang for sure! hihi, writer-nim...please make this happy ending. Jang Hyun & Gil Chae deserves to be happy after all the struggle..

doctorzais Oct 29 2023 8:38 pm Easiest double daesang for NKM and AEJ

Best Kdrama I've seen in a long time

Acting 10/10, writing 9/10, directing 9.5/10, cinematography 10/10, music is easily the best since Crash Landing on You 10/10

They went all out with this one

Sharo Oct 29 2023 11:35 am On Ep 12 so far and somehow the drama is lacking as compared of Part 1. Maybe they shouldn’t have given such a long break between the parts. It’s hard to get into such heavy stuffs again with no scene between ML & FL at all for 2 whole episodes. I am actually feeling bored of the drama at this point.

Ahn Eunjin Campaign Manager Oct 29 2023 10:24 am Ahn Eunjin really ate this Yoo Gilchae character, from a spoiled girl to a mature and brave Joseon woman. She deserves all the award !!!!!

Wahan Oct 27 2023 8:18 pm I dislike Ryang-Eum with a passion!

jamie Oct 25 2023 2:06 pm when ep11 and 12 aired I was kinda disappointed and was so close to drop this drama but 13 and 14 ep was everything I felt the spark of this drama was back just because of few scenes

also its weird how FL now regrets her decision and gonna stay with ML til he recovers making her family wait with suspicions

Heikham Ronykumar Oct 25 2023 6:55 am Namkoong Min will be the best forever. He never stop amazed me with his acting. ?

K-Lovers Oct 23 2023 1:01 am Haha and Yoo Jae Suk at episode 13th.. so in love with this drama..

shtgotreal Oct 22 2023 9:32 pm I absolutely hate Ryang-Eum with a passion!!!!

Jia Oct 21 2023 10:32 pm The end of ep 13 is best. However, before the scene would be shown to us in ep 14. Both leading roles should be applauded for their actions, and forget not the writer who can write such an emotional scene. Namkoong Min did not let me down by becoming one of the best actors I have loved since watching him in "Chief Kim (Good Manager )". His facial expressions in ep 14 left you speechless and tortured your emotions without using any words. The Female lead would be on my list of actors to watch even though I have had my eyes on her already since my hospital playlist. Gotta go to search for her name and her shows after this as My Dearest ep 14 still left me hanging and can not move on. My Dearest 1 and 2 are worth watching for you who still hesitate to jump in

M Oct 21 2023 9:32 am Final scene in episode 13 is the best I've seen so far. Sooooo full of emotions wherein I can feel them. From anger to love to pain all at the same time. I am crying.... Namkoong Min is the best!

Seo Oct 20 2023 9:44 am I just hope the main characters have happy ending but I have a feeling it will sad ending .hope I am wrong.

Matts Oct 19 2023 7:43 pm In ep12, 44mins, the farmer who's pushing another farmer, is that Haha from Runnign Man?

THY Oct 19 2023 8:13 am From what I know about dramas, the male lead will remain loyal to her for his lifetime will mostly likely go back to her husband after being saved. She is married and her husband will eventually find her after the facts and she will have to go back, and will eventually have children. This is a similar plot as ''Gone with the Wind'' unfortunately, she's utilitarian although she loves him she will never give up what she has to be with him.

Iniobong Udoh Oct 17 2023 6:19 am I initially love the drama, but now everything is predictable, it sucks. The only reason am continuing watching this is because of the lead actor the guy is just something else, he his among the top Korean actors on my list that I have watched all their released movies, drama back to back. Pls if there's a way this message can get to him, he should be involved in this kind of storyline that sucks. Thanks.

Anggie Oct 14 2023 7:45 pm Reunion!!! Lee Chung Ah Namkoong Min!!!

Rosalina Oct 14 2023 7:16 pm I knew they will meet again and they will get another chance!! I hope they end up together...I thought season 2 will not give me goosebumps like the first but it did from the first episode.... the acting ..... I feel you, your pain through your eyes... If this drama will not win a award, I will quit watching kdrama. I doubt something better can be filmed anyway. I can't wait for the next episodes, I wish it never finishes.

Aiat Oct 14 2023 8:05 am I don’t know if I will watch this season/part. I simply didn’t like the ending of part one. Not because they didn’t end up together, but because she accepted the marriage proposal! She obviously doesn’t need him and I felt so proud of her as a woman because of that. Why would she accept him if she doesn’t love him, and just a few months since the deaths news of her “loved one” arrived.

RyangEum's hater #2 Oct 14 2023 4:05 am When RyangEum said "The closest I feel to you is when I see the woman you loved".I never knew a kdrama dialogue could be this relatable. There is a boy in our department that I have the biggest crush on. Whenever I meet the girl he loves, I give her the biggest and the warmest hug, just because she makes me feel closer to him. I know, I'd never get that person and one day my feelings would die, but until that day I wanna give him my sincerest love.

Js Ja Ko Oct 13 2023 11:19 pm Nan Koong Min is my most favorit person in actors.I like his all movies.My dearest is very good in his darmaes.And than I'll always encouraging Nam Koong Min.I'll be waiting new and new, more and more his drama.I willing to watch his new dramaes.I think in my mine,he is a drama king.After that be happy and peace in the hole life, I paying for you (Nam Koong Min).

Your's forever big and loyal fan.....??

? Ja Ja Ko (From Singapore)✨

Vixx Oct 13 2023 12:36 am Finally it’s today 13th October. Can’t wait

Thea Oct 08 2023 6:47 pm I bet a happy ending for the leading couple. The first scene in episode 1, thought he was outnumbered, the thought of first meeting his love gives him the strength to fight. Let’s not forget there’s someone investigating about Lee Jang Hyun, I believe they wil discover the truth and help him? Gil Chae on the other hand I believe his husband would somehow (abuse or sold her) based on the second part trailer. Or, my second guess would be her husband died in their early marriage or right before they get married and something would cause her and her family lost their “noble” title. That’s why she ends up become a servant and met the woman in blue (the one who chase the Josoen prisoner), she was tortured because the women in blue fell in love with Jang Hyun. I knew they just gonna end up together in the end because the series was all about sadness for the couple, it’s gonna be happy time for them in the second part. Jng Hyun would do whatever it takes to be with Gil Che ??

Jillibean Sep 28 2023 12:36 am There is one major plot development in My Dearest that is different from Gone With The Wind: Scarlett loved her home Tara very much. Her Daddy taught her that land is most important because "it's the only thing that lasts". In My Dearest this love of home isn't brought up at all. Gil Chae doesn't seem to care where she lives. She just doesn't want to desert her family because they need her. They would no doubt die if she took off alone with a lover. She doesn't want that on her conscience. I wonder if the love of her Homeland will appear in the second part of the series.

Ju Lia Sep 25 2023 1:26 am if anyone from writers/producers team read rhis....Please Please have them reunite and let them stay together! ?

I Can Not bear another Mr Sunshine ending!... ending till hunts me

Please let them stay together ?

Satingem Sep 16 2023 2:21 pm I love My Dearest. It is really the Korean "Gone With the Wind" story. Gil Chae is Scarlett all the way. Great show.

Geumbi Sep 16 2023 10:04 am I think Ryang-Eum is a gay?

Ani Sep 16 2023 3:56 am Mr director please good ending.. my heart half broken in part one.. please do not break it twice

gladz Sep 16 2023 1:21 am there is one way they will end up together. i know this is harsh but Goo Won-Moo must die and Gil-Chae becomes widow. the director should stop giving us heartaches.

Yol aa Sep 14 2023 11:24 am Gil Chae, i'm running out of patience... Pls treat that man nicely... he deserves happiness

Justtoyeen. Sep 13 2023 5:43 pm Bad timing.

Strong love buh really bad timing. I can't wait for s2 fr. Lfgggggggg.

Justtoyeen. Sep 13 2023 5:42 pm Besides..

What in the world is Ryang-Eum doing?? Do anyone on here knows whether there were gays during Joseon era coz I don't think only respect/brotherly love can make him act that way.

Justtoyeen. Sep 13 2023 5:37 pm First time I'm commenting on asianwiki.? This drama is really good. Namkoong-min always finds a way to work with his former cast members on his new projects. This is prolly the 3rd or 4th time he's working with Lee chung-A.

Anyways I don't think he'll end up with Gil-chae. Like officer gu said they are in the Joseon era.. Killing his wife and her lover wouldn't be a crime.

The only way they can go back to each other is when one of them dies..(I have a feeling it'd be Gil-chae tho). And I'm sure the writer wouldn't want to spoil the storyline..,(we never might know.?)

Anyways,I'm eagerly looking forward to season 2. I can't believe I have to wait for a whole month.?

I really recommend this series tho. Solid 100/10 for me.

Pandora Princess Sep 13 2023 4:35 pm I absolutely love this drama. A different female personality, she has flaws, quirks and good about her and felt like the character development and future development is genuine and real. I do think there is a feminist twist that I did not like when JH mentioned I would die to for you....I am your servant....etc I felt that was a bit too much. As there is love and there is power play of some sorts. Besides that, I do genuinely think both love each other but that doesn't mean there is trust which is important for a relationship to work. JH mentioned multiple times she needs to grow up and the man is very ambitious, this is the reality. I am unsure why everyone kept mentioning she is evil, she is definitely the opposite. Yes she is selfish but can we all say we selfless? I don't think so. Look at how she helped Eun Ae when she was attacked and when her maid needed to deliver her baby. I don't know what else she needs to do show and do for others to think otherwise. I do think she is immature, blindly in love and childish. However, these are not qualities we can fault her on, she lived in a bubbled environment and you can see her character development. I do hope they end up together as they seem like a good match, they are too cute and have the best of banter. I cannot wait for the next season. October can't come quick enough.

Kim Sep 10 2023 2:41 pm I believe season 2 will be a sad ending as well. Recap to episode 1, the male lead character said "do you hear that? That's the sound of flowers?" Or something like it. It is the same phrase he said when he first saw gil Chae, the female lead character. Except this time he's on the beach, seems like he's out-run by the military. I have a feeling he'll die on that beach and the thought of her was the last thing entered his mind despite the parting in season 1 and possibly moving on for half of the season 2.

queenzel Sep 10 2023 4:36 am pls do not change the male lead you know they did not emd up in season 1 philippines hoping they end up in s2

junghye Sep 10 2023 12:46 am I hope they will end up together..the story is really good. Many tragic happened to them. They deserved to be happy.. im excited for the part2.

Viviane Sep 09 2023 8:26 pm I believe that, in the end, they will get back together. The female lead chose to remain with her family and friends as leaving all behind for love alone is not necessary. The male lead has goals of his own to pursue and, as any career driven man, he goes after what he wants first; love, romantic love, is secondary; the male lead can find other arms to soothe his sexual and emotional needs while he busies himself building his own future. For the female lead in that era, there is nothing left for her once her husband dies or leaves her for another woman, let alone a lover no matter how pationate he feels for her at a given time. Of course, I was sad to see them go their separate ways. The male lead might pursue this other female deserter hunter and they might become somewhat close for they are sharing the same trade, however, what has driven him to the female lead in the first place is bound to come back to haunt him. I believe they, in the end, they will find each other again.

Hafsat Yerima Sep 09 2023 2:00 pm I was just eagerly waiting for ep 11 to be released,i wasnt even aware that there is season 2 am so angry rn..Seriously the drama is good the ML and FL had good chemistry but i was kind of disappointed in the last episode by now i think this drama wont have a happy ending i so much felt it for Jang hyun why is she doing all those things to him,what is her problem?after all the love he has given and shown her but in the end she had to choose her family over him..Plss in season 2 just let him move on the way she did by getting married she doesnt deserve him or his love at all,let her feel the painn he felt when she left him,like what Ryang Eum said to him she will only bring misery and bad luck to him..

Ae-cha Sep 08 2023 11:04 pm The love for Gil Chae and young master Lee was beautiful, from the first time they met until the end. This love cannot just end like that. I humbly ask that the current lead actress does not change (Gil chae) and that young master Lee falls out of love with that new woman. And that Gil Chae and Lee go back together BUT it must not be obvious we the viewers need to be confused and not suspect that they'll be together. Thank you

NutEater Sep 08 2023 5:20 pm Another "I don't wanna watch coz of the ending kdrama. ?

Nili Sep 06 2023 7:49 am Do not change the lead actress

One of the best kdramas

jann Sep 05 2023 4:40 pm honestly, they should end up together. the buildup was already good pls don't ruin it by changing the female lead. it will be just like alchemy of souls if they change it. the chemistry is suddenly gone at the 2nd part lol, it wasn't bad but a lot would still prefer the same female lead.

Jillibean Sep 05 2023 8:36 am I think everyone should just calm down. Lee Chung Ah's character won't replace Ahn Eun Jin's character in Nam Goong Min's eyes. Ahn Eun Jin is still first female lead and will remain so throughout. Nam Goong Min picked her for the role of his lifetime love, his Dearest. That's not going to change. We already know Lee Chung Ah's character is evil: she's a bounty hunter, that means she kills for money. The height of evil. She's just added to spice things up and to keep you addicted so you come back after a month to watch the drama again. :)

Kifon Sep 05 2023 2:24 am To ne, it will be unfair to see thus great love between these 2 lead actor/actress end like this. We all know that it was the circumstances and consequences of the outbreak of war and how he was imprisoned and couldn't come back on time to fulfill his promises.

I still love to see them together no matter what

Yna Sep 04 2023 9:33 pm I think gilchae n jang hyun love story should end here. It would be unfair for gilchae's husband if they get back together when he has been a really kind man. Furthermore, gilchae's love for janghyun is not strong enough for her to trust him so yea its better to end here n move on.

Im excited to see new female lead in the love story! We only had look at her eyes but i know she is pretty

Angie Sep 04 2023 1:33 pm Nooooo I don't want the new love interest to take the lead. I still want Gil chae and Oppa to be together ???. I hated the way this ended, now I have to wait for part 2 October?? please writer allow Gil chae and Jang hyun to come back together please. Let gol chae new hubby die or something ??I feel like this big actress coming will end up with him but ani, i don't want. I loved their love

ersalina Sep 04 2023 10:40 am i love this drama. cant wait for new episode. cil chae truely love jang hyun but she cant put aside her family. she sacrified her love. it hurt me T_T

ryang eum ruined everything once he false jang hyun's death. i dont know if he has feeling towards jang hyun or love him as a brother.

this drama the only one which touched my heart. n i keep thinking why gil chae end up in the prison at 1st & jang hyun did he live well or died soon.

namkoong - he in his own level as actor. he smile but cry with his eyes.

Susan Bing Sep 04 2023 8:45 am This series actually modifications from Gone with the wind Scarlett O hara. Many characters adapted from this classic movie but the writer put some Korean culture and custom as spice on this series.

yaya Sep 04 2023 2:32 am Why JH need to runaway with GC? Just clear everything there , end the marriage plan and stay with GC's Family. its just a coward and ego action to take GC with JH without thinking of the left family. There is uncertainty in front of GC when she still not enough have trust to JH whether he will stay with her in the future or she will be left behind just like before.. she never really know him. GC has grown as a woman with full of responsibility with her family. if i were GC and stand on her shoes, i will do the same thing. Family over Love. I will choose what makes more senses for me rather than risking your life and sacrifice my love. she has proofed she can live without him. i hope there is happiness happens for both of them in season 2.

Ok lets wait for the S2 .

I.hope. Sep 03 2023 5:59 pm I hope Lee Chung A becomes the female lead, she has to some dramas with NGM, I hope they will continue their romance here from One Dollar Lawyer.

Olena Sep 03 2023 2:08 pm For me it’s the happy end for them. We saw, she said goodbye, her character took a decision and over. Nothing more to add. The last minutes of episode 10 is like the end of GilCahe as female lead: even if she is not married, her familly is still here and her brother is still young. And she humiliated him so much and so Many times, that it’s impossible to forgive her.

The production did a lot of works to remove her from show. If they want to keep her as main lead they could find a solution for her family. Why? She is fantastic actress I don’t like GilChae from episode 8, and I hope she’ll not come back as female lead in saison 2…. He deserved to be happy and to be loved. She never loved him, she just played a role of heartbroken lover, when she was thinking he dead. As she played role with her fist love.

Jimmie Sue Knight Sep 03 2023 8:44 am Thoroughly enjoyed this drama series. The first part ends on such a sad note. I wish I had waited until the other half came out before watching! Now I’m thinking how this could play out: could both of the main characters go in opposite directions and live with regret; or will they go their separate ways and marry another, only to find each other later- perhaps after war takes their spouses; or will they run back to each other; will one of them die, and the other lives with regret? Maybe it’s because I’m older now, and it makes me sad to see how they waste time apart from each because of the poor communication and misunderstandings when they could be together and comfort each other through the difficult times. Maybe because my husband, who was much older than I, had more insight, and knew me better than I knew myself… Anyway, now we are left waiting- just as their love waited for the other’s. It makes me sad.

Aimen Sep 03 2023 6:13 am I love this drama soooooooo sooooooooo much....It's soooooooo painfully PERFECT.....I'm desperately waiting for season 2...

Dora Sep 03 2023 12:37 am Finished ep 10, sobbing thru the end. This drama is so sad. The cut between part 1 and 2 is also so cruel. Gil Chae grew to be very responsible to her family. Knowing that his father needed her made her stayed and left the man of her dream. Jang Hyun left with a broken heart. As he has always kept his words, he will surely move on, find someone new, but at the end fate will brought them together and again separate them again. That is how the melodrama goes.

Nishashiisha Sep 02 2023 11:23 pm can't wait for season 2, all the actors and actresses in this story play their respective roles very well, well done to all the actors and crew in this drama, you all do your job well.

myoui Sep 02 2023 9:59 pm So will there be a new female lead? I just hope it does.

Tryagain Aug 27 2023 11:26 pm I'm only on my second episode of the first season, and I've cried twice. The song man, the fucking song really pulled my heartstrings and played with my emotions. I can feel the longing from the lyrics and it only fueled me into a somber state lol.

Namkoong nailed portraying someone who falls in love. His subtle microexpressions like the way he couldn't help but smile when the Female Lead talked, the way he couldn't help but gaze at her with those loving eyes. This drama reminded me of how good falling in love felt but also how it will fuck you up when things go wrong.

I can feel it in my bones that this series will leave my heart battered and broken similar to how the Goblin series was.

Iam Aug 26 2023 1:14 am i think this season will show us the story after jang hyun came back from Qing, that's why there are two seasons.

eundin Aug 21 2023 11:09 pm Just want to clarify, this is not season 2. They were just divided the 20 episodes into 2 parts. Part 1 currently airing for 10 episodes, and the next 10 episodes will be on October.

Part 1 is already great so far and i am so looking forward to see how it unfolds further ?

David Aug 17 2023 1:27 pm The best series I have come across this season

Snowball Aug 17 2023 8:25 am Actually I was disappointed because there were only 10 episodes. Apparently there will be season 2 with 10 episodes again. I'm very happy. And I didn't have to wait long to watch the second season. I like the story and it's not boring at all. The plot is fairly fast and the chemistry of the actor and the actres really feels in my heart. I feel like I'm getting into the story. I like royal stories that don't just focus on the struggle for the throne and the intrigues of the royal family. This drama presents a different story about an invasion from another regions. Although this story is fictional, it still presents historical facts. This drama talks about the Mongols, etc. so I can learn history too.

Jillibean Aug 13 2023 7:55 pm There's going to be a season two already? Daebak! :)
