Fans of historical dramas and k-dramas will be drawn into the intense emotional and mysterious world of “Dear Hongrang”, a new Korean period series premiering exclusively on Netflix this May 16, 2025.

Set in the Joseon era, "Dear Hongrang" tells the gripping story of Hongrang (Lee Jae-wook), the son of a powerful merchant, who mysteriously vanishes as a child. His disappearance sends shockwaves through his family—particularly his devoted stepsister, Jae-yi (Cho Bo-ah), who never stops searching for him. Years later, Hongrang suddenly returns, no longer the boy who vanished but a grown man harboring a deeply held secret. His unexpected reappearance stirs powerful emotions and unsettling questions. As Hongrang and Jae-yi reconnect, they find themselves entangled in a complex relationship marked by hidden truths, unresolved longing, and the shadows of the past. 

Blending elements of romance, suspense, and historical intrigue, "Dear Hongrang" promises to deliver not just compelling storytelling, but also visually stunning period production and emotionally layered performances from its lead cast.
