TVING Thriller K-drama Dear X with Kim Yoo Jung Releases Two Striking Posters But Retracts One Amid Plagiarism Allegations
So the issue can addressed right away and I hope everyone can go back to just anticipating this upcoming K-drama. TVING thriller Dear X is slated to premiere in early November but has been judiciously releasing promos since last month. It’s all very shocking to see grown up child actress Kim Yoo Jung fully throw herself into a sociopathic femme fatale female lead role. The juxtaposition from her nice girl image to what she’s playing onscreen feels as cathartic to see as when Lee Seung Gi did Mouse, breaking free of the constraints of what type of role to play. However the top poster that is the most eerie showing Kim Yoo Jung’s dead eyes peering through a white paper X is being removed from use after netizens pointed out it’s striking similarity to the movie poster for 2017 C-movie The Devotion of Suspect X. When you see it side-by-side then yeah, it’s a total copy so I’m glad the production apologized and pulled it immediately. What a shame tho because it’s really effective but still, copying so blatantly a design concept is a big no no.





I’m so ready for this one. I’m looking forward to seeing KYJ’s breakthrough from her lackluster works for a while. I’m also fond of Kim Young Dae in Shooting Stars. He had great chemistry with Lee Sung Kyung.
