‘Dear X’ Kim Yoo-jung's Glamorous Fall! A Shocking Ending with Intense Aftermath

The TVING original 〈Dear X〉 delivered a powerful aftermath until the end. In the episodes 11-12 of the TVING original 〈Dear X〉 released on the 4th (Thursday), the fates of Baek Ah-jin (Kim Yoo-jung), Yoon Jun-seo (Kim Young-dae), and Kim Jae-oh (Kim Do-hoon) were depicted. The different destinies faced by these characters, caught between salvation and destruction, were both sad and beautiful, cruel yet dazzling. On that day, Kim Jae-oh learned about Baek Ah-jin's assault incident through the news and discovered that Shim Seong-hee (Kim Yi-kyung) was hospitalized in a mental institution. In particular, he inferred Baek Ah-jin's crisis through the relationship between that hospital and Moon Do-hyeok (Hong Jong-hyun), as well as his ex-wife's hospitalization records after their divorce. Kim Jae-oh's intuition was not wrong, and Baek Ah-jin was living in a new hell. Experiencing partial memory loss, she caused chaos at home and even forgot that she had contacted Kim Jae-oh. Upon receiving a call from Baek Ah-jin, Kim Jae-oh rushed over and realized the seriousness of the situation upon seeing her lost in memory, anxiety, and confusion. Kim Jae-oh warned that Moon Do-hyeok was a dangerous presence, but Baek Ah-jin could not divorce to protect what she had achieved and not lose what she had. Kim Jae-oh watched her with pity and promised to put a 'leash' on Moon Do-hyeok so that he could no longer do anything. Yoon Jun-seo, who learned about Baek Ah-jin's situation late, went to find Kim Jae-oh to check on him. When he brought up the topic of Moon Do-hyeok and said they needed to help Baek Ah-jin, Yoon Jun-seo took a cautious stance, saying he couldn't trust or get involved recklessly. Kim Jae-oh expressed disappointment and anger towards Yoon Jun-seo and left, insisting he would handle it alone. Naturally, Yoon Jun-seo was not at ease either.

One day, after receiving a call from Moon Do-hyeok, Yoon Jun-seo met Baek Ah-jin again after a long time. Left alone in the pool, Baek Ah-jin was soaked and filled with rage. "Do you know what I realized today? That I can still be abandoned. How did I even get this far!" Yoon Jun-seo felt worried again, seeing Baek Ah-jin trembling with humiliation. Ultimately, Kim Jae-oh threw everything away to keep his promise with Baek Ah-jin to put a leash on Moon Do-hyeok. Yoon Jun-seo, engulfed in sadness and shock, tried to stop Baek Ah-jin's rampage, but she showed no signs of stopping. Yoon Jun-seo could not just stand still either. Ironically, Yoon Jun-seo's final choice to save Baek Ah-jin was his own 'destruction.' Watching Baek Ah-jin's glamorous fall, Yoon Jun-seo finally thought it was the end, but their fates crossed once again.
