'My Dearest' starring Nam Goong-min, strong spotting
MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'My Dearest' is a human history melodrama about the love of lovers and the vitality of the people who went through each other during the Manchu War. Starting with the outbreak of the Byeongjahoran in the play, it led to a vertical rise in viewership ratings and won the No. 1 throne in Friday-Saturday dramas. It is a response that it captured the eyes and ears of viewers by dramatically portraying the fateful love of lovers and the strong vitality of the people against the background of heartbreaking and tragic history. Accordingly, 'My Dearest' is sweeping first place in both ratings and topicality.
Along with the outbreak of the Byeongjahoran, 'My Dearest' also dealt in depth with the story of Injo (played by Kim Jong-tae) and Crown Prince Sohyeon (played by Kim Moo-jun) who fled to Namhansanseong Fortress. Qing, who had been regarded as a barbarian until now, invaded Joseon in an unexpected way and drove the people of Joseon to death. Even the king of Qing called himself emperor and pressured King Injo of Joseon to bow his head. However, Injo could not make any decision easily.
Injo could not go out of the castle (exit Namhansanseong Fortress) as the Qing Khan (Emperor) Hong Taiji (played by Kim Jun-won) said, but he could not just wait for the momentum of war to reverse like a miracle at Namhansanseong Fortress. As soon as he was released, his life and the whole of Joseon could fall into the hands of the Qing Dynasty. If you do not come out and hold out, the pressure of the Qing Dynasty and the brutal slaughter towards the people of Joseon will not end. Episodes 5 and 6 of 'My Dearest' show the hesitation of Injo and the horrors of war, doubling the tragic pain.
In the midst of this, on the 24th, the production team of 'My Dearest' announced the appearance of Injo one day before the 7th broadcast. In the published photo, Injo is seen riding out of Namhansanseong Fortress, escorted by his servant Choi Myeong-gil (played by Kim Tae-hoon), on a white horse. His son, Crown Prince Sohyeon, follows King Injo. As King Injo and Crown Prince Sohyeon passed by, the people knelt down on the cold snowy floor and bowed their heads. The tragic history that must never be forgotten hurts even the viewer's heart.
The production team of 'My Dearest' said, "In the 7th episode of 'My Dearest', which airs tomorrow (25th), Injo will appear. Earlier, at the request of Crown Prince Sohyeon, Lee Jang-hyeon (Namgoong-min), who infiltrated the Qing army, had a great impact on Injo's decision. Please pay attention to this part and watch it.”
What did Lee Jang-hyun, who said he had no interest in seeking a wage, infiltrate the Qing army? With the birth of Injo, what changes will the lives of the 'My Dearest' protagonists, such as Lee Jang-hyeon and Yoo Gil-chae (played by Ahn Eun-jin), experience? Episode 7 of 'My Dearest' will be broadcast on the 25th at 9:50 pm.
