“My Dearest” is again and able to rip our hearts out after that explosive mid-season finale again in August. With our lovers torn aside and on reverse sides of a really harmful border, it appears virtually inconceivable that their paths might cross once more. But warfare upends the chessboard, and it isn’t lengthy earlier than Lee Jang Hyun (Namgoong Min) and Yoo Gil Chae (Ahn Eun Jin) are thrown again collectively—even whether it is for probably the most terrible of causes.

Here are 4 individuals who convey the leads again collectively within the latest episodes:

Warning: spoilers for episodes 11-12 under.

1. Lee Jang Hyun

The better part about Lee Jang Hyun’s actions after supposedly being dumped by Gil Chae is that he has no clue that the kindness he exhibits will come again to him in the perfect of the way. To say that he’s hollowed out afterwards could be an understatement. He even debates on surrendering to dying simply so he doesn’t should really feel the ache of Gil Chae’s rejection. Jang Hyun was by no means a person who had a lot to reside for, and he has even much less to reside for now. He’s again in Shimyang and compelled to search out escaped slaves in order to maintain the Qing pleased with him, whereas he secretly plots in opposition to them with Crown Prince So Hyun (Kim Moo Joon).

But Jang Hyun isn’t actually murdering the escaped slaves. He’s shopping for them. He lies to the emperor’s righthand man Yong Gol Dae (Choi Young Woo) that he’s promoting the slaves for cash and that he’ll convey Gol Dae a reduce of the earnings. In actuality, he’s utilizing his personal cash, hiding the slaves in a safe place, and paying Gol Dae the money from his personal coffers simply so he can maintain his folks free. What an unbelievable man. Jang Hyun has each alternative to drown his sorrows within the many prepared ladies round him. But he simply can’t neglect Gil Chae it doesn’t matter what he does. He can not assist however keep in mind the lady he’s liked for about 4 years at this level. She isn’t going to fade so simply.

Jang Hyun quickly goes from serving to escaped slaves to serving to slaves escape. It’s a harmful enterprise as a result of he’s truly breaking them out of excessive locations. He even helps the Joseon ladies compelled into being the emperor’s concubines escape again dwelling. And that is the place his kindness will come again to assist him. The bonds and gratitude he has earned are about to avoid wasting the lifetime of the lady he loves.

2. The Qing slavers and Joseon king

As Joseon’s King Injo (Kim Jong Tae) grows more and more paranoid and belligerent that his son is about to usurp his throne, he passes an edict demanding that each one Joseon slaves who’ve efficiently escaped the Qing empire return to the Qing empire or be killed. He even gives a money reward for folks to rat out their mates and neighbors! It’s a horrible edict as a result of it implies that individuals who’ve risked the whole lot simply to return to their homeland, for love of their homeland, at the moment are being rounded up by their very own folks and thrown to the Qing empire. And, as with all issues, persons are solely completely happy to abuse the system and lie in order to eliminate folks they don’t like—or in Gil Chae’s case, of individuals they need.

A Qing slaver catches sight of Gil Chae when she’s unwittingly implicated for harboring escapees in her forge. Gil Chae’s about to get out of it by utilizing her now-husband’s title Goo Won Moo (Ji Seung Hyun). He’s a senior navy officer, so no Justice of the Peace would dare prosecute his spouse. But the Qing slaver sees cash to be made in Gil Chae’s magnificence and has her and her maid, Jong Jong (Park Jong Yeon), kidnapped and forcibly dragged to Qing as slaves. Gil Chae, who already carries trauma from the warfare, is compelled again into it. As a girl, she’s by no means been in additional hazard. Her magnificence attracts the eye of a Qing prince who desires her as his concubine and the person’s spouse who likes torturing lovely ladies by burning them alive. Gil Chae’s plunged again into hell, and he or she and Jong Jong are alone in it.

3. Ryang Eum

Ryang Eum (Kim Yoon Woo) is shaping as much as have the most effective character arcs on this present. After having made the devastating mistake of not telling Gil Chae about Jang Hyun in Part 1, he was deserted by Jang Hyun. Brokenhearted, he spends his days watching over Gil Chae, his final hyperlink to the person he loves. So, he’s the primary to note that Gil Chae’s been kidnapped.

It says quite a bit about Goo Won Moo that his first thought is that Gil Chae has run off with Jang Hyun. He even accuses Kyung Eun Ae (Lee Da In) and Nam Yeon Joon (Lee Hak Joo) of hiding that Gil Chae ran away with one other man from him, regardless of the truth that Gil Chae broke her personal coronary heart to stick to her obligations. Ryang Eum desperately tries to persuade him that Gil Chae’s at risk, however it takes him and Yeon Joon following the slaves’ path and discovering Gil Chae’s ring and message for him for Won Moo to lastly make a transfer. Ryang Eum’s seek for Gil Chae appears to be a type of atonement. He desires to assist save her and produce her to Jang Hyun to even the scales. He appears to simply wish to be with Jang Hyun it doesn’t matter what form and kind that relationship appears like. In distinction, Gil Chae herself desires to keep away from Jang Hyun at any price—even when it means dropping her life.

4. Gil Chae

After breaking her coronary heart and Jang Hyun’s, Gil Chae’s sleepwalked by means of life. She sells the forge’s items and is a superb businesswoman, however the pleasure that used to glitter in her eyes is gone. She attends to her wifely duties as Won Moo needs however doesn’t care about him as something greater than a good friend. She’s change into robotic. But being captured and compelled again into hell reawakens the fierce tiger in her who fought for her mates’ lives through the warfare. She seizes her life in each palms and doesn’t cease combating. Despite figuring out that she’s headed to Shimyang the place Jang Hyun is, she refuses to ask him for assist after how badly she damage him. She protects her maid all through the journey to Shimyang, even permitting a slaver to take her valuables if it meant defending Jong Jong. The first likelihood she will get, she cuts her finger, rips off some material, and writes a letter in her personal blood, begging for assist. She provides that to a beggarwoman with a jade ring, figuring out that the lady will go on the message after getting paid for it. And that’s precisely how the message leads to Ryang Eum’s palms.

After being compelled into becoming a member of the Qing harem and chosen by the Qing prince, she cuts her personal head simply so her physique is scarred, as a result of Qing royalty solely need unscarred ladies. Her tenacity and power are simply unbelievable. She’s thrown out of the harem and prepped to be offered at an open-air market, which is identical one which Jang Hyun rescues folks from. Suddenly, we see what appears to be the identical scene that we ended on in Part 1: of Jang Hyun and Gak Hwa (Lee Chung Ah) chasing some escaping slaves. Only now, we see that Gil Chae is a kind of slaves and that Jang Hyun is definitely attempting to cease Gak Hwa from capturing them.

And we depart off there! It’s a jam-packed pair of episodes that give nice perception into Jang Hyun and Gil Chae regardless of them not having seen one another in any respect this week. Despite having his coronary heart damaged, Jang Hyun doesn’t flip bitter or resent Gil Chae. Rather, he can’t cease loving her and retains wishing her the perfect. Gil Chae is aware of what she’s executed and may’t convey herself to beg for Jang Hyun’s assist after hurting him a lot, even when it means dropping her life. These two are so excellent for one another. I simply want Won Moo wasn’t within the image.

Next week’s preview appears to point out Jang Hyun discovering out that Gil Chae’s been captured and coming for her, which is simply swoon-worthy for therefore many causes. Firstly, the slavers took nice pleasure in declaring to Gil Chae that kids pay to free their dad and mom from the slave markets and vice versa. Even wives come to free their husbands, however no husband comes for his or her spouse as a result of when a girl is captured by the Qing, she’s routinely seen as soiled, even when nothing occurred to her. But Jang Hyun, the identical Jang Hyun who doesn’t see ladies as commodities, goes to return for her! Here’s hoping they aren’t torn aside once more!
