My Dearest

Omg, 😱. Hear me out, I've watched 100s, yessss 100s!!!!

Of cdrama and kdrama the past 3 years or so. This one is by far one the best period piece I've seen thus far. Truly amazing, from story line, to exceptional cinematography, couple with apowerful and unforgettable performances by ml and fl. Ladies and gentlemen you got yourself a masterpiece. Thank god I hold myself back till part 2 was completed. Can't imagine the torture having to wait that long especially for part 2. Peoples "my dearest" is all that, and more. Now let the feeling of nostalgia begin. Already miss this couple already. THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN AMAZING ENDING.

What can I say? In my opinion, this is the best drama of the year, perhaps the best in a long time, and undoubtedly the finest historical drama. It's a beautiful, inspirational adult love story with none of the fluffy stuff. The drama takes you on an emotional rollercoaster with many heart-wrenching moments throughout. While it touches on controversial topics, it deals with them beautifully, sparking diverse opinions.

The actors, especially the main leads, were phenomenal. The cinematography, fight scenes, and OST were amazing. Sure, you could point out some flaws in the plot, but let's be honest, most dramas have them.

This drama has secured a spot in my top ten, a list that I often tweak based on my mood. It joins the likes of "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim," "Itaewon Class," "Fight My Way," "Hometown Cha-Cha," "Flower of Evil," "Touch Your Heart," "Vincenzo," and "Strong Girl Bong-soon."

Honestly, I stumbled upon this drama by accident and didn't know the main leads very well. However, I watched it with an open mind and have no regrets. I found myself completely engrossed, never skipping a moment, even when the storyline got frustrating at times. The drama also boasts scenes that are worth watching over and over again.

I highly recommend it to people who enjoy the melodrama, romance, and sageuk genres. It's a must-watch!

Telling the story of Qing invasion of Joseon Korea and its devastating aftermath on people from prince to servant through the eyes of an unconventional couple, it is as topical a story as it was centuries ago.

The depiction of war was incredible, original and realistic. The mistreating of people as slaves, of women considered miasma even by their own, every little aspect of how lives were ruined or used as collateral after the war supposedly ended was jaw-dropping and holded the biggest part of the series.

It was an excellent production and execution throughout.

It stumbled upon some typical kdrama cliches at the beginning and especially towards the end. Look past that, because it was such a great series to watch.

If it says Nam GoonMin, I'm in. I started watching him from "Remember", then "The Veil", "Doctor Prisoner"," Good Manager"... and especially last year's release "One Dollar Layer" was a top-notch masterpiece. He always knows what he's bringing to the screen. I started this drama and now I'm left even more mesmerized by his acting skills. The plot, cinematography, ost, acting... everything is so on point. Finally we got something unique after what feels like two years of boring cringe stuff. Only half of the series got aired yet, and I'm patiently looking forward to the next part. My love for Sageuk dramas has increased tremendously. Mr Queen, Red Cuff Sleeve and now My Dearest.

My Dearest is a beautiful love story. I must say it's one of the best Korean dramas I have ever watched. The story is so beautiful, the acting is superb. There are other stories intertwined. The leading characters are such a strong and likable characters. The rest of the cast does such a great job with their characters/roles as well.

My only complaint is that sometimes the politics got confusing. I have watched a few historical dramas. But with this one at times I was lost. Perhaps I needed to pay better attention. However. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn't wait to keep watching every chance I got.
