MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama My Dearest, which will premiere on August 4th, is a human historical melodrama that portrays the love of lovers who become separated amid the turmoil of war and the vitality of the people. The drama brings together writer Hwang Jin Young, known for The King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang, and Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People, and director Kim Sung Yong, who worked on The Veil and marks Namkoong Min's return to the historical genre after ten years, creating high anticipation.
Ahn Eun Jin takes on the role of the female lead, Yoo Gil Chae, in My Dearest. Yoo Gil Chae, a child from a well-raised noble family, gradually matures as she sincerely mourns a man amidst the ravages of war. Ahn Eun Jin, who has risen to become one of the hottest actors in 2023 with her solid acting skills and irreplaceable charm, garners attention for the kind of performance she will deliver in My Dearest and the melodious chemistry she will display with her co-star Namkoong Min (playing the role of Lee Jang Hyun).
Amidst this, the production team of My Dearest finally released the first still of Ahn Eun Jin on the July 11th. In the photo, Ahn Eun Jin is in the mountains on a day when white snowflakes are falling. Despite wearing thick clothing and earmuffs to protect against the cold, her gaze as she looks at the snow reflects innocence. In another photo, she wears a somewhat tense expression, hinting at a potentially gripping situation. Her innocent yet lovely charm leaves a strong impression.
Above all, attention is focused on Ahn Eun Jin's transformation. In 2023, Ahn Eun Jin gained great love through her role in The Good Bad Mother, proving her mature acting skills. As a result, there is considerable interest in her next project. Choosing the long-running historical drama My Dearest, she continues her special journey as one of the hottest actors in 2023. Her passion and enthusiasm for growth as an actress are evident. As delicate emotions fill every expression she makes, there are high expectations for her stable and graceful performance in the historical drama.

Regarding this, the production team of My Dearest stated, "Yoo Gil Chae undergoes the most dramatic transformation in the drama. It may not be an easy challenge for the actress. Ahn Eun Jin perfectly embodies the lively and charming Yoo Gil Chae from the first shoot. We could see how diligently she worked and prepared. We ask for great expectations for Ahn Eun Jin's active role, as she transitions from the 'most anticipated actress' to the 'trusted actress' through My Dearest."

The first broadcast will be on August 4th at 9:50 PM KST.
