"My Dearest" Lee Da In Captivates Viewers with Laughter and Tears

In the MBC Friday-Saturday drama My Dearest, Lee Da In is the gentle and compassionate woman, Kyung Eun Ae. She portrays her character with a delicate balance of elegance and innocence.

In the recent episodes aired on August 11th and 12th, Kyung Eun Ae's turmoil caused by the sudden outbreak of the Byeongjahoran War was depicted. Eun Ae, who maintained her composure and calmness no matter the situation, is shown shedding tears like a child when Nam Yeon Jun (played by Lee Hak Joo) goes to the battlefield. This heartfelt scene where she cries like a child with tears in her eyes tugged at the viewers' heartstrings. 

Meanwhile, Eun Ae's quirky side as a gentlewoman also brought laughter to the viewers. In an unexpected twist, Eun Ae visits the temple to pray for the safety of the scholars who went to the battlefield. She uses stern words in her prayer, showcasing a surprising contrast. With a serious expression, Lee Da In folds her hands and recites chilling words playfully, adding to the character's charm. This playful aspect adds an unexpected charm to a character otherwise portrayed as severe.In the later part of the drama, due to the approaching war, Eun Ae eventually leaves with Yoo Gil Chae (played by Ahn Eun Jin) to find a haven. However, she encounters barbarians alone on a night, and with the help of Gil Chae, manages to escape danger. Overwhelmed by the sudden situation and the fear of being misunderstood, Eun Ae trembles in terror, stating, "I have done nothing wrong, but people might not believe me." This is the first time viewers see Eun Ae, who always smiles and cares for others, in such a vulnerable state. Lee Da In effectively conveys the character's emotions to the viewers, enhancing the tension and immersion of the drama.

Lee Da In skillfully portrays a character that dynamically transforms depending on the situation, expressing a range of emotions with delicate nuances. Her presence is imprinted in the hearts of the viewers. As the drama My Dearest delves into the stories of people trapped amid war, Lee Da In's acting is expected to add even more depth to the narrative.

My Dearest, which airs on MBC every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM KST, promises a deeper narrative with Lee Da In's exceptional performance.
