“My Dearest” Part 2 to Change the Female Lead? Namgoong Min Personally Addresses Fan Concerns
MBC’s drama ‘My Dearest’ Part 1 has wrapped up amid controversy over the ending
On September 2nd, MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘My Dearest’ Part 1 concluded with a self-record high nationwide viewership rating of 12.2%.
In the final episode, after enduring a gruesome war and narrowly escaping death several times, Jang Hyun (played by Namgoong Min) and Gil Chae (played by Ahn Eun Jin) confirmed their feelings for each other with difficulty but eventually parted ways. Two years later, Jang Hyun rescued Joseon prisoners in Shinyang and encountered the Qing Dynasty prisoner hunter with a blue mask, played by Lee Chung Ah, creating a subtle atmosphere to conclude the story.
Following this, viewers criticized the unexpected ending where the deeply in love Jang Hyun and Gil Chae were separated. In addition, the appearance of Lee Chung Ah wearing a blue mask in the Part 1 ending, concerns were raised that the female lead might change from Ahn Eun Jin to Lee Chung Ah.
In response to this speculation that ‘My Dearest’ Part 2 might focus on a love line between Namgoong Min and Lee Chung Ah, viewers are expressing their dissatisfaction.
Namgoong Min decided to speak up himself. On September 3rd, he uploaded a video and a post on his Instagram, featuring a scene from ‘My Dearest.’
In the video, Namgoong Min, as Jang Hyun, is seen on a ferryboat immersed in sadness with memories of Gil Chae. He posted the video showcasing the affectionate moments between Gil Chae and Jang Hyun from the drama, along with a caption that included lines from the drama.
The video he shared emphasizes the sweet moments, including kisses and hugs between Jang Hyun and Gil Chae in the drama.
Namgoong Min continued, “Thank you for all the love, interest, and worries. We will repay them with a beautiful love story of Jang Hyun and Gil Chae.” He reassured viewers concerned about the love line. Now, the focus is on whether ‘My Dearest’ Part 2 will be able to captivate viewers with its storyline, as Namgoong Min suggests.
