There’s now just over a week left until the second half of MBC’s My Dearest brings tragedy back to our doorsteps. But thankfully we do get a glimmer of hope in the latest round of promos where our heartbroken Namgoong Min (One Dollar Lawyer) and Ahn Eun-jin (The Good Bad Mother) are finally (!) reunited face to face.
Given where things left off at the end of Part 1, we of course didn’t expect the best of circumstances. While not unscathed, our hardy leads have somehow survived their time apart and the teaser opens on our still-separated pair as they try to endure yet another day.
Looking up at the night sky, Lee Jang-hyun (Namgoong Min) wonders to himself, “It’s strange, isn’t it? On nights like this when the moon shines bright, I am still with you… I don’t quite know where things started to wrong.” In the sequence, we watch the aftermath of Qing’s victory in Joseon, which unfortunately spells even more trouble for our heroine Yoo Gil-chae (Ahn Eun-jin).
We then cut to Lee Chung-ah (Celebrity) in beautiful splendor, who makes it menacingly clear that Jang-hyun is hers or else. But as we know, Jang-hyun’s heart remains with Gil-chae and the text screens reveal that she is the one he very much misses and loves, and the one thing he wanted to protect. In voiceover, he confesses: “Live like a flower. That is the only thing I want.”
Not wanting to put Jang-hyun in danger, our heroine pleads, “Don’t do anything on my behalf.” But Jang-hyun declines, declaring that he’s going to follow his heart and is unable to just stand by when Gil-chae is being taken away. Without hesitation, our hero fights to rescue her and the teaser closes on their tearful reunion as Jang-hyun takes hold of Gil-chae’s hand.
On the production side, scripts continue under writer Hwang Jin-young (Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People) while directing is now helmed by a team of three, with PD Lee Han-joon joining PD Kim Sung-yong (The Veil) and PD Chun Soo-jin. Resuming in MBC’s weekend slot, Part 2 of My Dearest will be launching next week on October 13.
