Nov 19, 2023

Following the conclusion of MBC’s “My Dearest,” the drama’s stars have shared their final thoughts and farewells!

On November 18, the hit historical romance drama aired its series finale, which earned the highest viewership ratings of the show’s entire run (including both Part 1 and Part 2).

As the drama came to an end, Namgoong Min expressed his gratitude to not only its viewers, but also the cast and crew. “The long time I spent working with such good people on creating a great drama was extremely meaningful, and I’m very thankful for it,” said the actor. “I hope that ‘My Dearest’ will also remain a happy memory for all the viewers who watched the drama together with us. Thank you, truly.”

Ahn Eun Jin similarly remarked, “I’d like to sincerely thank all the viewers who watched and rooted for ‘My Dearest,’ Yoo Gil Chae, and Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae’s love. I was happy to have been able to work with such great people, and I learned a lot during that time.”

She continued, “Thank you to Namgoong Min, who was always very considerate as he led ‘My Dearest’; the director and writer, who gave me the opportunity to be part of this great drama; and all the other actors in the cast who worked together with me. I think ‘My Dearest’ will become a drama that I will never be able to forget. I was truly happy and grateful [while working on the drama].”

Meanwhile, Lee Hak Joo commented, “I’d like to sincerely thank everyone who watched ‘My Dearest’ up until now. Seeing [my character] Yeon Joon steadfastly walk his own path, without wavering, despite enduring the hardships of the time, I felt that he was both brave and pitiful. Because of that, ‘My Dearest’ is a drama that made me think a lot about how we ought to go about living in this world.”

He went on, “Also, as an actor, it was my first true historical drama, but I was able to successfully make it to the end by discussing [my role] together with the writer and many staff members. Everyone worked really hard, and I really want to make sure to say that the production team was the absolute best. I don’t know what kind of project I will take on next, but please continue to cheer me on, and I hope that you will enjoy a warm end of the year.”

Finally, Lee Da In shared, “It was a huge honor to be able to take this long journey together. I think ‘My Dearest’ will remain an extremely meaningful drama for me. While spending four seasons and nearly an entire year together, we all became very fond of one another, and I feel very bittersweet about having to say goodbye to my colleagues from the set and [my character] Eun Ae.”

She concluded by adding, “I’d like to sincerely thank all the viewers who have given so much love to ‘My Dearest’ up until now.”
