It was possible only because of Kim Yoo-jung.
In the TVING original Dear X, Kim Yoo-jung decorated the work's finale with unwavering acting until the end.
In the finale, Kim Yoo-jung's acting also shone. In episode 12 of Dear X, released on the 4th, Kim Yoo-jung conveyed Baek Ah-jin's collapse and survival instinct, which fell apart as all truths were exposed because of Yoon Jun-seo (Kim Young-dae), with restrained emotions and eyes without exaggeration.
With concentration that allowed no gaps in the flow of emotion, Kim Yoo-jung firmly built the world of Baek Ah-jin, who painfully climbed to the peak, and gave three-dimensional form to the most beautiful yet dangerous moment of downfall. In particular, the car accident chosen by Yoon Jun-seo and the documentary intertwined to destroy her life, and through the falling Baek Ah-jin, it generated breathless tension until the end.
In this process, Kim Yoo-jung delicately and balancedly expressed the layers of the character's emotions, from the embarrassment at the moment of exposure to self-defense and the desire to rise again. Externally broken but internally unyielding, Baek Ah-jin's vitality and the ambiguous expression in the final scene that made it unclear whether she was smiling or crying left a strong lingering impression.
Thus, through Dear X, Kim Yoo-jung proved results beyond acting ability. From the beginning to the end of the work, the tensions accumulated by the character Baek Ah-jin and the various issues presented to viewers crossed borders and generated diverse reactions, creating a topic of conversation. It was a time that reaffirmed the genre called Kim Yoo-jung beyond the title of "an actor who acts well." Dear X has ended, but the genre called Kim Yoo-jung is only beginning.
