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.

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.

Min Namkoong yet again defies typecasting and brings it all to the table as an enigmatic man of the world smitten with a woman who when things get rough proves to be far more than a silly flirt. The Lady has spirit in a culture where it's not usually valued in a woman. This is NO damn wanna be GWTW as one reviewer yapped about. Gary Grant could only dream of having Min Namkoong's acting chops. And the rest of My Dearest/Lover 's cast are no slouches either in this romance amidst a war where smart strong leadership is in short supply. When those "precious lips" are kissed it's going be a HUGE moment. But that opening scene on the beach, well, it makes one wonder IF that moment will ever come.

Update edit: Mea culpa, indeed Cary Grant was not Clark Gable in GWTW. Still neither can compare to Min Namkoong--they're both third rate actors in comparison. Their status was created by Hollywood marketing. Min Namkoong's status is due to his remarkable talent.

Episode 11 is off to a grand start of the second half of My Dearest/Lover. Heartbreak like none other? !

In an award acceptance speech Min Namkoong thanked writer Hwang Jin-yeong for the wonderful script/story she worked on for five years.

Finally, I found the most beautiful, most wonderful, and best drama, i have watched from years.

"My dearest" As its name means, it is the dearest to my heart.

It is the best drama, in the cast, the dialogue, and the scenes in my opinion.

It is literally a "legendary love saga".

I'm so sad it's over. I'll miss it so much.

And of course I'll miss the great actors.

Also i hope that they will receive many awards, for this amazing work.

I would like to thank all the staff for these warm and beautiful moments that we felt while watching this legendary drama.

There are no words can describe such beauty. It is the best in everyway.

I hope everyone watches and enjoys this beautiful drama.

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.
