The much-anticipated K-drama of 2025, Dear Hongrang, featuring Lee Jae-Wook and Jo Bo-Ah, is going to air on Netflix on May 16, 2025. For those who don’t know about the plot, this drama is set in the Joseon Dynasty and revolves around the powerful Min family, who face a massive rough patch when their youngest son, Hongrang (Jae-Wook), mysteriously disappears one day. Twelve years later, an unknown man reappears and claims to be the long-lost youngest heir of the Min family.
When he vanishes without a trace, his half-sister Jae Yi (Jo Bo-Ah) tries her best to find him. So, when he returned, even though most of Hongrang’s family accepted him to be the long-lost heir, she remained suspicious. Jo Bo-Ah plays the intelligent and determined Jae Yi, and Lee Jae-Wook is making a return to this genre of drama after Alchemy of Souls. As the fans are super excited to see this plot come to life on screen, they are also thrilled to see Jae-Wook and Bo-Ah to see together in a drama.
A poster has been released so far, where Lee Jae-Wook and Jo Bo-Ah can be seen looking into each other’s eyes with lots of questions lingering in their minds. The picture was shared with a caption, “Your hidden secrets, your unspoken truth,” that created more buzz about the whole mysterious scenario.
The teaser that has been uploaded recently featured a glimpse of the chilling atmosphere after the return of Hongrang. As the youngest son comes back, it sparks a mixed reaction among the Min family. Uhm Ji-Won is playing Hongrang’s mother, Min Yeon-Eui, who showed her maternal love for him while his father, Shim Yeon-Guk (Park Byung-Eun), raised concerns about his return. On the other hand, Mu Jin (Jung Ga-Ram), the adopted brother of Hongrang, is trying to navigate the situation and complications.
