Kim Yoon Woo And Namgoong Min Experience Shifts In Emotions In “My Dearest”

Kim Yoon Woo And Namgoong Min Experience Shifts In Emotions In “My Dearest”

 

MBC’s “My Dearest” has unveiled new stills!

 

Set in the Joseon dynasty, “My Dearest” is a historical romance drama about the love story between a man named Lee Jang Hyun (Namgoong Min), who has declared that he will not marry, and a woman named Yoo Gil Chae (Ahn Eun Jin), who dreams of finding love again even after two failed marriages.

Spoilers

In Part 1, Ryang Eum (Kim Yoon Woo) didn’t tell Yoo Gil Chae about whether Lee Jang Hyun was alive, and he lied that Lee Jang Hyun had another lover. Through this, Yoo Gil Chae decided to let go of her feelings for Lee Jang Hyun. Belatedly learning of this, Lee Jang Hyun couldn’t hold back his rage, and he said harsh words to Ryang Eum. Afterwards, Lee Jang Hyun stayed in Simyang while Ryang Eum stayed in Hanyang.

 

However, in episode 13, Ryang Eum went looking for Lee Jang Hyun to tell him news of Yoo Gil Chae, and eventually, Lee Jang Hyun was about to rescue Yoo Gil Chae due to Ryang Eum’s help.

 

The newly released stills capture Lee Jang Hyun and Ryang Eum amidst a completely different atmosphere as they face each other late at night. Although Lee Jang Hyun always looked at Ryang Eum with warm affection, his gaze has become cold. Ryang Eum’s gaze also has a firmness that wasn’t there before, raising questions about why their attitudes toward each other have changed.

The production team remarked, “Our drama is a story about what people are willing to do for love. Similar to how Lee Jang Hyun will put his life on the line for Yoo Gil Chae, Ryang Eum can also put everything on the line if it is for Lee Jang Hyun.

 

However, it is even more unfortunate because unlike Lee Jang Hyun, Ryang Eum cannot express his feelings,” asking viewers to anticipate Namgoong Min and Kim Yoon Woo’s acting.

 

The next episode of “My Dearest” will air on October 27 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Ahn Eun Jin Nurses A Wounded Namgoong Min In “My Dearest”

 

MBC’s “My Dearest” has shared a sneak peek of its upcoming episode!

Spoilers

On the previous episode of “My Dearest,” Lee Jang Hyun (Namgoong Min) risked his own life to save Yoo Gil Chae (Ahn Eun Jin), valiantly throwing himself in front of an arrow aimed at her so that he could take the hit instead.

 

In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Yoo Gil Chae tenderly nurses the injured Lee Jang Hyun back to health, wiping his sweat and carefully checking his wound. Notably, Yoo Gil Chae is now dressed in clean silk that was presumably given to her by Lee Jang Hyun, having cast aside the dirty clothing she was wearing during their emotional reunion.

The “My Dearest” production team teased, “In Episode 15, which airs today, the romance between Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae will grow even deeper. The more time they spend together, the more their feelings for one another abruptly reveal themselves at unexpected moments. During this process, the two of them will care more for each other’s feelings than their own, treating the other as more precious than themselves.”

 

They went on, “Above all else, the perfect acting chemistry between Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin will make viewers’ hearts flutter even more. Please look forward to Episode 15 of ‘My Dearest,’ which will trap viewers inside a whirlwind of romance on the small screen for 60 minutes.”

 

The next episode of “My Dearest” will air on October 27 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Ahn Eun Jin Turns Her Back On Namgoong Min In “My Dearest”

Ahn Eun Jin Turns Her Back On Namgoong Min In “My Dearest”

Oct 28, 2023
by E. Cha
 

What new obstacles will keep Ahn Eun Jin and Namgoong Min apart on the next episode of “My Dearest”?

Spoilers

Previously on “My Dearest,” Lee Jang Hyun (Namgoong Min) put his life on the line to rescue Yoo Gil Chae (Ahn Eun Jin), but he was wounded in the process. Unable to leave Lee Jang Hyun behind after he saved her life, Yoo Gil Chae decided to remain in Shenyang until he recovered, and she stayed by his side to nurse him back to health. Not wanting to part with Yoo Gil Chae just yet, Lee Jang Hyun pretended to be ill even after he’d already recovered so he could spend more time with her.

 

However, at the end of the latest episode, the star-crossed lovers’ blissful time together was interrupted by an unexpected ultimatum from Gak Hwa (Lee Chung Ah). Consumed by jealousy, Gak Hwa threatened to put all the prisoners of war from Joseon in danger if Lee Jang Hyun did not send Yoo Gil Chae back to Joseon.

 

Although the furious Lee Jang Hyun grabbed Gak Hwa by the throat and warned her not to lay a hand on Yoo Gil Chae, Gak Hwa seemed to have no intention of backing down from her threat.

 

In newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, Lee Jang Hyun is visibly tormented by a dilemma as he sits alone at a table, lost in thought.

The next photo captures Yoo Gil Chae’s startled reaction to something Lee Jang Hyun has just told her. Then, in a final photo, Yoo Gil Chae turns and walks away from a melancholy Lee Jang Hyun, who seems unable to stop her.

The producers of “My Dearest” revealed, “In Episode 16, there will be a huge change in the relationship between Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae. Lee Jang Hyun has learned the true reason that Yoo Gil Chae let go of his hand [back in Joseon], and Yoo Gil Chae has seen Lee Jang Hyun risk his own life for her sake. With their feelings for each other having grown even stronger, the two of them wind up making an important decision for one another’s sake.”

 

To find out what fate has in store for the pair—and what choices they will make—tune in to the next episode of “My Dearest” on October 28 at 9:50 p.m. KST!

Namkoong Min is truly one of the best and most versatile actor there is, and gorgeous to boot!  I am glad I found this tread because I feel like he is under appreciated and not getting as much recognition as he deserves!

I think he is appreciated and has recognition. He will win another Daesang at MBC Drama awards at the end of this year. Also people knows that he is a good actor. He knows to select his dramas and perhaps he is lucky that good dramas are coming his way.  About this thread..... lots of threads are deserted and people are barely commenting on drama threads anymore. You are welcome to post from time to time to show your appreciation to Namgoong Min.

MBC Says “My Dearest” May Film Additional Scenes If Drama Is Extended

MBC Says “My Dearest” May Film Additional Scenes If Drama Is Extended

 

MBC has confirmed that there is a possibility of filming additional scenes for “My Dearest.”

 

On November 4, a news outlet reported that “My Dearest,” which is currently in talks for an extension, did not plan to hold any additional shoots even if the drama were to be extended.

 

That same morning, MBC firmly denied the report, stating, “The question of whether our Friday-Saturday drama ‘My Dearest’ will hold additional shoots depends on whether the drama is extended. If it is decided that the drama will be extended, additional shoots may be held, so it is impossible to say that there will be no additional shoots. Right now, there is potential for additional shoots [for the drama].”

 

The network continued, “As we previously announced, we are currently discussing the possibility of extending ‘My Dearest,’ and the outlook is favorable. Due to the programming schedule for the drama following [‘My Dearest’], many people are thinking of a one-episode extension, but a two-episode extension is also possible.”

 

“Ultimately, whether the drama holds additional shoots will be decided based on whether there is an extension and for how many episodes,” they concluded. “If the drama is extended, of course there will be additional filming to match the [extended] runtime.”

Namgoong Min And Ahn Eun Jin Finally Confess Their Hidden Feelings In “My Dearest”

Namgoong Min And Ahn Eun Jin Finally Confess Their Hidden Feelings In “My Dearest”

 

At long last, Namgoong Min and Ahn Eun Jin will open up to one another about their feelings on MBC’s “My Dearest”!

Spoilers

Previously on “My Dearest,” viewers were heartbroken to see Lee Jang Hyun (Namgoong Min) and Yoo Gil Chae (Ahn Eun Jin) part ways once again after finally being reunited. In order to save the prisoners of war from Gak Hwa (Lee Chung Ah)’s jealous wrath, Lee Jang Hyun was forced to push Yoo Gil Chae away with words he did not mean, and she ultimately returned to Joseon while he stayed behind in Shenyang.

 

However, in newly released stills from the drama’s next episode, the star-crossed lovers are once again reunited in Hanyang, where Yoo Gil Chae previously asked her husband for a divorce.

 

In the photos, both Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae get emotional as they relive the past while listening to Ryang Eum (Kim Yoon Woo)’s skillful singing. The last time the pair listened to Ryang Eum’s singing together, before the Qing invasion, the disguished Yoo Gil Chae was unable to hide her delight at being touched by his song—and Lee Jang Hyun was utterly taken by her visible innocence and passion.

 

While much has changed in the difficult years since, Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae’s love for one another has only grown stronger, and as the two get lost in the precious memory evoked by Ryang Eum’s voice, the depth of their feelings becomes clearer to both of them.

According to the “My Dearest” production team, the couple will finally get honest with one another about their emotions after finding their way back to one another in Hanyang.

 

“In Episode 17, which airs today, Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae will once again be caught up in a powerful whirlwind of fate after reuniting in Hanyang,” they said. “As a result, the two of them will reveal the sincere feelings that they were unable to confess in Shenyang.”

 

“How far will Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae be able to go for love, and what will they be willing to do for the person they love?” they continued. “We hope that you’ll focus on these questions while tuning in.”

 

The next episode of “My Dearest” airs on November 4 at 9:50 p.m. KST.
