My Dearest - Unspoiled Review

The Story

 

In the 1600’s, Korea struggles under the heavy hand of the Qing Dynasty.  During this uncertain time, a sassy noblewoman meets a mysterious strangers who shows up in town on business.  And as much as she dislikes his greedy outlook on life and his worldly perspectives, she is strangely drawn to him.  As she gets to know him, she finds that under his selfish facade lies a kind and generous heart. But just as their feelings for each other begin to deepen, both of their lives are changed dramatically by the political turmoil of the country.  Despite many obstacles, the pair will try to find their way back to each other, but their love may not be enough to overcome the darkness faced by the country as a whole.

Should I Watch

 

My Dearest - Unspoiled Review

“My Dearest” is a heartbreaking historical drama that highlights the suffering of a country living under foreign rule.  This is a heavier, more intense drama than some of the more light-hearted rom-com style, but the emotions are raw and realistic.  Some of the scenes of abuse and bullying may be difficult to watch, but it is not overly graphic.  Namgoong Min brings his usual, unflappable charm to this well-developed character.  Though I felt that the first half of this drama was tighter and better told, while the second half had some problems with pacing and consistency, the ending makes the journey worthwhile  I give “My Dearest” a 9 out of 10 ramen.
