Dear X

Growing up amidst difficult childhood experiences and abuse, Baek Ah-jin quickly learns how to use people’s love and sympathy to her advantage. Although calm, gentle, and attractive on the outside, she harbors a deep ambition. In order to escape her past, she gradually begins to exploit people’s weaknesses and carve out a place for herself in the entertainment industry.

With her acting success, Ah-jin becomes one of the most popular stars in the country. But behind the perfect public image she creates, hides a woman who does not hesitate to use relationships, trust, and people’s feelings as needed to achieve her goals. One of the most important people in her life is Yoon Jun-seo, who has been by Ah-jin’s side since childhood and knows her dark sides better than anyone else.

Although some relationships in Ah-jin’s life allow her to face her true feelings, her desire for power and success gradually overshadows everything. Her relationship with Heo In-gang in particular brings a time in Ah-jin’s life when she feels like she can move on from her past and choose a different life. But old wounds, hidden truths, and her own decisions ultimately drag her down a dark path.

Eventually, the perfect world Ah-jin has created begins to crack. Her past, manipulation, and the scars she leaves on people’s lives slowly begin to come to light. Dear X is not just the story of a celebrity’s rise to fame; it is a dark psychological journey of how far a person can go in the pursuit of love, trauma, ambition, and power.
