Synopsis
Dear X (친애하는 X, 2025), Season 1 is a Korean crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — twelve episodes following Baek Ah-jin, whose gentle face hides a mind that reads every weakness and turns people into rungs on a ladder.
The season charts her climb from the bottom. It starts when a classmate threatens to expose her, and Ah-jin strikes first. Her law-school dream collapses, her father resurfaces, and she picks a colder road instead: an acting debut, carefully laid traps, a romance with a top star, a marriage of convenience. Everyone close to her becomes another "X" to be used and discarded. Yet the higher she rises, the nearer her buried past creeps, until the finale lets the mask slip.
Kim Yoo-jung carries the whole thing, playing a predator you can't quite sympathize with and can't stop watching. It lands for anyone drawn to Korean thrillers about ambition and revenge. Stream Dear X Season 1 online on iFILM.
