Lover

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.

First of all it has a melodrama tag so most people like me will skip this drama. But just because of namgoong min I gave it a try. As expected first 2 episodes were kind of melodrama. But I still continued for another 2 episodes. That's when things started to go south . Episode 4 I was crying like hell . I was invested in this . This is not just melodrama. It was action , gore , thriller . Now I realised why namgoong min accepted a period drama.

It's nothing like romantic period drama where main characters love each other and will get a happy ending and all. This is serious every character is well written. It's a must watch.

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.

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.

I'd give My Dearest 20 stars if I could. Namkoong Min and Ahn Eun-jin turn this beautiful drama into a classic. I really don't know what to say except that if you love Kdramas My Dearest will rocket to the top of your favorites.

Namkoong Min is such a handsome guy, but after seeing a younger version in other dramas, and then watching a more mature man in My Dearest, I am struck by his beauty and talent. Like Sean Connery, he gets better as he ages! Ahn Eun-jin is beautiful, but she shines in this drama. The two of them are my favorite drama couple ever. The supporting cast is also so well done - all top notch actors who made me forget that they were acting parts as they were so natural and believable in their roles.

Additionally, the soundtrack for My Dearest is hauntingly beautiful. A classic in itself. I keep hearing the score because like the story, it is too special to forget.
