On Jan 25th, a review of the book talk by writer Hwang Jin-young of MBC’s “My Dearest” held the day before was spread through online communities.
According to the sad ending version revealed by writer Hwang, Gil-chae (played by Ahn Eun-jin) was supposed to go looking for Jang-hyun (played by Namkoong Min), who had lost his memory.
Jang-hyun leaves to find Gil-chae and arrives at Neunggun-ri, where Gil-chae also arrives looking for Jang-hyun. She meets an old man in Neunggun-ri, who informs her that Jang-hyun has died, expressing regret for the person who sacrificed their life for the prisoners. Gil-chae lies down on Jang-hyun’s grave, and snow falls on her, covering her. However, Gil-chae, who thinks that what Jang-hyun wants is for her to live boldly, encounters Jang-hyun’s apparition on her way down the mountain and shares an ardent conversation, concluding the story.
