Actress Lee Yeol-Eum is making her return with a new project.

In the TVING original series 《Dear X》, set to be released on November 6th (Thursday), Lee Yeol-Eum transforms into ‘Lena’, a star with hidden wounds behind her glamorous appearance, foreshadowing a powerful presence.

Baek Ah-Jin vs. Lena, a Fierce Psychological Warfare for the Top Spot

《Dear X》 is a destructive melodrama suspense story about Baek Ah-Jin (Kim Yoo-Jung), a woman who wears a perfect mask to escape her hellish reality, and the revenge of those hurt by her.

Lee Yeol-Eum's character, ‘Lena,’ is an actress who debuted as an idol and shines like a perfect star in front of the public, but hides emptiness behind her expressionless face.

When rookie star Baek Ah-Jin suddenly appears and threatens her position, a tense atmosphere begins to develop between the two.

Lena tries not to waver even in the dazzling spotlight, while Baek Ah-Jin rushes towards the top spot.

The fierce emotional battle between the two women is expected to further enhance the immersion of the drama.

A Collaboration of Director Lee Eung-Bok and Director Park So-Hyun, a Trustworthy Combination

This project raises expectations as it is co-directed by Lee Eung-Bok, who has created numerous hit works such as ‘Goblin,’ ‘Mr. Sunshine,’ ‘Sweet Home,’ and ‘Descendants of the Sun,’ and Park So-Hyun, who has garnered attention for her sensual visual aesthetics.

In addition, Choi Ja-Won, the winner of the 2018 KBS Drama Special Screenplay Contest, and Ban Ji-Woon, the author of the original webtoon, participated in the writing, foreshadowing a more complete world.

In particular, 《Dear X》 is being pre-released through the 30th Busan International Film Festival and is being hailed as the ‘most anticipated work of the second half of the year.’

Lee Yeol-Eum: “Lena is Strong but Clumsy… That’s Her Charm”

Born in 1996, Lee Yeol-Eum said about this project, “I enjoyed the original work so much, and I really wanted to work with director Lee Eung-Bok at least once.”

She added, “Lena looks strong on the outside, but inside, she has loneliness and anxiety.

She is a character with a coexistence of obsession with success and clumsy sincerity towards love, so I wanted to express that subtle balance.”
