Director's note
Dear X explores the sharp contrast between human desire, deceit, and the emotional masks people wear to survive. Baek Ah-jin is a deeply complex character who navigates a cruel world by manipulating others and climbing to the very top. Through her story, I wanted to examine the destructive nature of ambition and the profound loneliness that accompanies a life built on calculated perfection. Rather than simply judging her actions, this series delves into the dark mechanics of human relationships and asks what truly remains when the mask is stripped away. My goal was to create a tense, visually captivating psychological thriller that keeps viewers questioning who the real victims and villains are until the very end.
