Kim Yoo Jung Reported To Star As Sociopath In New K-Drama—Everything We Know About “Dear X”
My Demon actress Kim Yoo Jung (also romanized as Kim You Jung) will reportedly star in the new K-Drama Dear X (working title).
STARNEWS reported on June 4 that Kim Yoo Jung will be the female lead in the upcoming K-Drama. At this time, her agency, Awesome ENT, stated that Dear X is one of multiple projects for which she has received an offer.
Dear X is based on the Naver Webtoon of the same name by VANZIUN (also known as Ban Ji Un). Reportedly, Monster Union, Studio Dragon, screenwriter Choi Ja Won, and producing director (PD) Lee Eung Bok, known for Sweet Home, Dream High, Descendants of the Sun, and Goblin (also known as Guardian: The Lonely and Great God) are reviewing the project.
Kim Yoo Jung’s reported role is actress Baek Ah Jin, who falls from the top. She also has antisocial personality disorder (sometimes called sociopathy). Some reports claim Dear X will have not one but five male leads who fall in love with Baek Ah Jin. Yet, one man will stay by her side throughout the highs and lows. If Kim does indeed accept the role, it will be her most daring yet.
It tells the story of the downfall of the nation’s top actress, Baek Ah Jin, and her hidden face. Baek Ah Jin, a sociopath, is someone who has a dazzling appearance and a kind personality, but she thoroughly punishes anyone who offends her by revealing her evil side. In order to get what she wants, she puts the people around her under her control and controls them, and is a person with the insight to see through the intentions of her opponents.

Filming for Dear X is reportedly set to begin in the second half of 2024 and will ultimately consist of twelve episodes. For those who read the Webtoon, Dear X is known to be bittersweet, shocking, and a rollercoaster. The Webtoon concluded in 2021 with 62 episodes.
Netizens are ecstatic over the news. Many can’t get over how perfect Kim Yoo Jung is for the role of Baek Ah Jin!
