My Dearest is a period historical melodrama that portrays the love of a couple torn apart set during during the Qing invasion . It is a major project that brings together Hwang Jin Young, the writer who crafted unbeatable historical dramas such as The King's Daughter, Soo Baek Hyang, and Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People, and director Kim Sung Yong, who previously helmed The Veil.

The video begins with the sorrowful gaze of Lee Jang Hyun. The screen then alternates between the lovely appearance of Yoo Gil Chae, who exchanges glances with Lee Jang Hyun. However, their peace is soon shattered, and the turmoil of war is hinted at. Lee Jang Hyun displays a solid presence, saying, "What they want the most is for the king of Joseon to bow down," revealing his firm determination.

The screen is soon filled with the horrors of war. Yoo Gil Chae and Kyung Eun Hae flee with slender bodies, Nam Yeon Jun fighting fiercely against the enemy as a full-fledged warrior. In an unpredictable war, Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae cross paths again after a long journey.
