"Perfect Marriage Revenge" Sung Hoon Reveals His Transformation into a Perfect Man
On August 4th, MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama My Dearest premiered. The new series is a human history melodrama that depicts the love of a couple torn apart by the war, and the vitality of the people during the turbulent times of the late Joseon period. In My Dearest, Ahn Eun Jin takes on the role of Yoo Gil Chae, and together with actor Namkoong Min, she portrays a love story that even war cannot stop.
The first episode of My Dearest depicted the people's peaceful lives before the devastating Imjin War broke out. Among them was Yoo Gil Chae, a playful and mischievous young lady who captivates the hearts of all the men in her village. Though she may appear as a vixen she is an endearing and lovely woman who constantly dreams of love and makes efforts for it.
Yoo Gil Chae often dreams of meeting her beloved "Nanggunnim" (royal prince). She runs in pursuit of him, firmly believing she will meet him someday. She even believes that the person she encounters in her dream, Nanggunnim, is Nam Yeon Jun (played by Lee Hak Joo) from Sungkyunkwan. However, Nam Yeon Jun is the fiancé of Yoo Gil Chae's close friend, Kyung Eun Ae (played by Lee Da In). Despite capturing the hearts of all the men in Neunggun-ri Village, Yoo Gil Chae cannot win over Nam Yeon Jun's heart.
One day, a charismatic man named Lee Jang Hyun (played by Namkoong Min) appears, carrying various rumors with him. While Yoo Gil Chae refutes Nam Yeon Jun's words point by point, she does not find the single phrase spoken by Lee Jang Hyun amusing at all. Meanwhile, in an attempt to capture the attention of the men in the village, especially Nam Yeon Jun, Yoo Gil Chae climbs onto a swing on a hill. With an intentionally playful gesture, she once again captivates the hearts of the men in the village.
Disappointed when Nam Yeon Jun doesn't come, Yoo Gil Chae climbs onto the swing again and accidentally falls, only to be caught by Lee Jang Hyun. At that unexpected moment, Yoo Gil Chae's bewildered eyes meet his, and an unknown stillness and excitement begin. The trembling in Yoo Gil Chae's heart is perfectly conveyed through the screen, bringing the first episode of My Dearest to a close.
Actress Ahn Eun Jin, who was warmly received for her role in the drama Hospital Playlist, has achieved a streak of hits with the film The Night Owl in 2022. The drama The Good Bad Mother in 2023 draws attention to her captivating charm and dynamic acting that breathes life into her characters. As a result, she has emerged as one of the most anticipated actresses in 2023, with high expectations for her future projects.
In her chosen drama, the historical melodrama My Dearest, Ahn Eun Jin fiercely tried to portray the lead female role. As evidenced by her portrayal of Yoo Gil Chae in the first episode, Ahn Eun Jin exuded pure loveliness. Her mischievous way of speaking, bright smile, and sincere and adorable demeanor in the face of love were all highly captivating. After meeting Ahn Eun Jin, Yoo Gil Chae's character becomes even more endearing.
Ahn Eun Jin's performance in the first episode perfectly highlighted the charm of her character. Despite the challenging task of taking on a historical drama, Ahn Eun Jin successfully created a charming Yoo Gil Chae with such love. The viewers eagerly await the next episode of My Dearest, where they can meet Yoo Gil Chae, born from Ahn Eun Jin's passion and efforts. My Dearest, the new MBC Friday-Saturday drama, will be broadcast on the 5th at 9:50 PM KST.
