Shin Hae Sun, Lee Jin Uk, and Kang Hoon's Surprising Encounter Sparks Drama in 'Dear Hyeri'

Imagine the sheer spectacle of Eun Ho, her face a masterclass in shock, when she stumbles upon Joo Yeon. You could practically hear the collective gasp echoing in the room, as if someone had just revealed the ending to a particularly juicy novel. Joo Yeon, on the other hand, is a portrait of scrutiny, her every glance at Eun Ho dripping with suspicion. It's as if she's a detective hot on the trail of a scandal involving Eun Ho and Hye Ri. Tension, dear reader, hangs in the air like that last morsel of dessert nobody dares to touch.

Now, juxtapose this with Hyun Oh—bless him—who enters the scene with a smile big enough to eclipse the sun. He shakes Joo Yeon’s hand with the kind of warmth that could melt glaciers, yet there's an almost tragic irony in the air, like the calm before a hurricane. It’s beautiful chaos, where one can’t help but wonder which relationship is about to combust spectacularly.

In a heart-wrenching plot twist, we witness Hyun Oh sacrificing his lifelong dream of anchoring the 9 p.m. news—cue the dramatic music—to carve out a spot for Eun Ho on the noon broadcast. Love, as it turns out, comes at a cost—and this one feels like a hefty price tag at a luxury boutique.

“Dear Hyeri” emerges as a poignant love story that weaves through the tangled webs of Joo Eun Ho (played by Shin Hae Sun), a news announcer navigating her career and battling dissociative identity disorder in the wake of her sister’s disappearance and a breakup with her long-term boyfriend, Jung Hyun Oh (portrayed by Lee Jin Uk). It’s a veritable emotional rollercoaster that leaves viewers holding onto their seats for dear life.

Previously, in the melodrama that unfolded in “Dear Hyeri,” we were given a glimpse into Hyun Oh’s troubled youth, where he played the role of the reluctant hero trying to support his five grandmothers. A revelation that explains, in an oh-so-shocking twist, why he couldn’t take the plunge and marry Eun Ho. Talk about family obligations cramping your style!

Meanwhile, here’s Hyun Oh, appearing effortlessly professional, reading his script with all the calm of someone who knows how to make lemonade out of life’s bitter lemons. And now, viewers are left clutching their popcorn, brimming with anticipation about whether Eun Ho, Hyun Oh, and the ever-suspicious Joo Yeon will finally notice each other’s presence—or rather, each other’s mess—in the ever-dramatic news program they are about to embark on together.

According to the production team, as the trio’s paths collide in this shared program, their secrets will peel away like layers of an onion—ready to leave us all teary-eyed. It’s like watching a slow-motion car crash: you know it’s going to be a disaster, but you simply can’t look away.
