At the heart of this captivating tale is Yoo Gil-chae, portrayed by Ahn Eun-Jin, a young woman born into nobility with the world seemingly at her feet. Raised in a powerful and wealthy family, she's lived life with a charming audacity, using her charisma to effortlessly manipulate the men of Neunggun-ri.

Their paths intertwine, and two unlikely individuals find themselves falling in love amidst the backdrop of the 1630s Qing Dynasty invasion.

However, the peaceful days in Neunggun-ri soon give way to the harsh realities of war as the Qing dynasty invades Joseon, wreaking havoc on villages in Joseon. The villagers' lives are turned upside down, with Yeon-jun joining the battle while Jang-hyun seeks revenge against the invaders. Gil-chae and Eun-ae, along with their servants, must navigate through trials to survive.

What sets "My Dearest" apart from typical period dramas is its refusal to adhere to the formula of a romantic saga with a guaranteed happy ending.

The performances in "My Dearest" are nothing short of masterful, with Ahn Eun-Jin and Namkoong Min leading the charge.
