Stirring our hearts with another scenic teaser and posters for MBC’s My Dearest, the newest promos take us to the calm before the storm when love first sparked between our fated pair: Namgoong Min (One Dollar Lawyer) and Ahn Eun-jin (The Good Bad Mother).
The saguek melo starts in early 1600s Joseon, when the dark threat of the Qing Invasion was looming ahead in the near future. Our mysterious hero Lee Jang-hyun (Namgoong Min) had just moved into town and he inquires with interest, “That woman who lives in this village, who is she?”
She, of course, is our playful and flirty Yoo Gil-chae (Ahn Eun-jin) and she wastes no time asking if Jang-hyun has fallen for her. Jang-hyun can’t help but grin and he asks to spend some time with her out on the island. But Gil-chae rejects him, declaring that she’s waiting for destiny to bring her soulmate and that she’s going to marry the most impressive man.
In the sequence, we watch as their bantering relationship grows and Jang-hyun acts aloof, saying, “I decided long ago that I would live single and never marry.” When Gil-chae scoffs in response, Jang-hyun teases her, asking if she likes him.
Gil-chae replies honestly that, “What I want is to share an unwavering love with an unwavering person.” But she’s taken aback when Jang-hyun grows serious, asking, “Is that what you want?” We then end the trailer as Jang-hyun resumes his playful tone, telling Gil-chae she should come to him.
With writing by Hwang Jin-young (Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People) and directing helmed collaboratively by PD Kim Sung-yong (The Veil) and PD Chun Soo-jin, MBC’s My Dearest is slated to premiere on August 4 in the weekend slot.
