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.
