5 actors who seems to be a good fit alongside Kim Yoo Jung for upcoming K-drama ‘Dear X’

It seems like Kim Yoo Jung is preparing for her next major undertaking. On June 4, rumors circulated that the actress would play a sociopath in the upcoming thriller Dear X. This drama, which is based on a webtoon of the same name, will revolve around Baek Ah Jin, a young lady who always manages to convince people of her intentions by her stunning appearance.

Who will play the male lead?

The following actors, as reported by Pinkvilla are the ones we would like to see alongside Kim Yoo Jung in these five roles, despite the fact that not many facts about them have been made public.

1. Lee Jong Suk

Actor Lee Jong Suk is renowned for his versatility, having demonstrated his abilities in both romantic comedies and suspenseful films. He also does a great job portraying antagonistic and “good guy” characters. Lee Jong Suk would make a fantastic Yoon Jun Seo, especially after his roles in the action-thriller Decibel (2021) and the television series Big Mouth (2022).

2. Hwang In Yeop

Kim Yoo Jung and Hwang In Yeop both had appearances on the interesting variety program Young Actors’ Retreat. So, if they co-star in Dear X, we may anticipate a fantastic synergy. Furthermore, the actor demonstrated exceptional performance in a different webtoon adaptation, True Beauty. He seems like a good fit for one of the five male leads.

3. Park Ji Hoon

Recently, Park Ji Hoon starred in the historical drama Love Song for Illusion. VANZIUN, the author of Dear X, wrote the Manhwa of the same name, which was adapted for the screen. Thus, it is possible that he will be cast in this drama. In particular, he is a skilled actor with a reputation for playing multiple characters. He may take on the part of Yoon Jun Seo or any other character with many facets.

4. OK Taecyeon

OK Taecyeon is well known for his portrayal of the antagonist in the wildly popular television series Vincenzo. But he’s also very skilled at playing a variety of roles, such as Yoon Jun Seo’s. We believe that his performance in Dear X will masterfully counterbalance Kim Yoo Jung’s anti-hero persona.

5. Woo Do Hwan

In addition to his acting skills, Woo Do Hwan has an appearance that is similar to Yoo Jun Seo’s drawing from Dear X. He is a gifted physician who has often shown his abilities in Bloodhounds (2023), Tempted (2018), Mad Dog (2017), and other skillful productions.

Other choices

Apart from these five actors, we believe that Park Hae Jin from The Killing Vote, Kim Soo Hyun from Queen of Tears, Jang Ki Yong from Gumiho, and Bae In Hyuk from Cheer Up would be the best choices to co-star with Kim Yoo Jung in Dear X.
