The Netflix series "Dear Hongrang" previewed its viewing points ahead of its release today.
#1 Mystery-melo-historical drama, the charm of "Dear Hongrang" offers complex enjoyment
Amid deepening suspicions, two characters are gradually drawn to each other by unknown feelings!
The first viewing point of the mystery, melo, historical drama "Dear Hongrang" depicts unknown feelings blossoming between the son of Joseon's largest trading company, who was missing for 12 years and has returned with lost memories, "Hongrang" (Lee Jae-wook), and his half-sister "Jaei" (Jo Bo-ah), who is the only one that doubts his true identity. As "Hongrang" returns to the "Minsangdan" with no memories, the unfolding of mysterious incidents continuously occurring draws in a melo narrative that encompasses the charm of various genres.
Although he has no memories prior to his disappearance, does "Hongrang" really resemble the lost son, and what secrets is he hiding? The story of "Hongrang" serves as the main driving force of the work, adding tension. Furthermore, the relationship with his half-sister "Jaei" (Jo Bo-ah), who has longed for "Hongrang" more than anyone else and begins to doubt the returned "Hongrang," is one of the key points that cannot be overlooked. As seen in the stills, the strange tension of two people guarding each other is gradually transforming into an unknown attraction that stimulates both the excitement of melo and the tension of mystery.
Additionally, the characters blurred by conflicting feelings and events include "Mujin" (Jeong Ga-ram), the adopted heir of "Minsangdan," "Minyeonui" (Eom Ji-won), the actual owner of "Minsangdan," and "Shim Yeol-guk" (Park Byung-eun). "Dear Hongrang" portrays characters rushing toward different goals and desires through intricately intertwined emotions and events, likely captivating viewers around the world with its unpredictable developments and immersive storytelling.
