The key point to watch is how the relationships of each character will become intertwined.
| Baek Ah-jin (Kim Yoo-jung) | South Korea's top actor. While outwardly glamorous, he lives with a hidden wound and cruelty, and the moment he reaches the top, he crumbles. |
| Yuk Jun-seo (Kim Young-dae) | The man who has been by Ajin's side her entire life. Her refuge, but also her fatal Achilles' heel. |
| Kim Jae-oh (Kim Do-hoon) | He is a character who has endured abuse and lives as Ajin's shadow, blindly protecting her. |

3. What is the plot of <Dear X>?
Baek Ah-jin, who survived childhood trauma and abuse, rises to stardom, but the journey is filled with cruel calculations and manipulation. Yoon Jun-seo, who loves her to the end, Kim Jae-oh, who remains by her side like a shadow, and Lena, who forms a love triangle. This devastating melo-thriller asks the question, "Is love salvation or destruction?" and presents a compelling story that transcends mere romantic comedy.

The original webtoon, "Dear X," consists of 61 episodes and four parts (I AM NOT, PROVOKE, HEARTLESS, MONSTER). Ajin resolves her abuse and wounds with revenge and manipulation, and rises to the top, but also destroys those around her one by one.
