A meteoric rise... and a dizzying fall
Adapted from a webtoon, Dear X tells the story of Baek Ah-jin (Kim Yoo-jung)a renowned actress who rises from poverty to the pinnacle of her career by using others, only to experience an equally spectacular descent into hell.

A mask of glory and darkness

Snippets from her youth reveal a student with an innocent smile, but whose eyes betray tiredness and emptiness. Rumors abound: "She plays the perfect model in front of others, but behind the scenes, she extorts money..." "She pretends to be pitiful when it suits her, but it's all fake." "She's a demon hidden behind a human mask."
Tensions rise as Baek Ah Jin flashes a distorted smile and says, "So, you want to kill me?"
A chilling line that hints at the cruelty of his character.
His destructive relationship with Yoon Joon-deo and Kim Jae-oh intensifies when Baek Ah-jin challenges them: "How far are you willing to go for me? We see Kim Jae-oh in prison uniform facing justice. Yoon Joon-seo, consumed by rage, screams "Die!" as he raises a brick, on the verge of an irreversible gesture.
The teaser concludes with a haunting phrase: "May your ruin be my salvation."
