Netflix has set the global premiere date for Dear Hongrang, a new romantic period mystery drama from South Korea. Check out the teaser.
Is he who he says he is?
This is the main question that people in and around the Sim family, the clan of a powerful Joseon merchant, ask when a man (Lee Jae-wook, Alchemy of Souls) claiming to be Hongrang, the long-lost son, arrives in their midst.
When Hongrang was a child, he went missing. His half-sister, Jae-yi, searched and searched for him, but to no avail. He was gone. With the disappearance, the family’s adopted son, Mu-jin, assumed Hongrang’s place as the heir. Afterward, stranger after stranger showed up, pretending to be Hongrang, only to be severely punished, if not literally cut down in their prime, when their lie was revealed.
Twelve years later, Hongrang returns as a grown mad to the powerful Sim household, carrying a secret but having no memory of his past. Jae-yi (Cho Bo-ah, Destined with You) refuses to believe he is her dear brother and accuses him of being an imposter. Tension builds between the two, as she questions who he really is and he dares her to find out.
Dear Hongrang, a Netflix Series, premieres globally on Friday, May 16, exclusively on Netflix.
(You can set a reminder for it now.)
Costars include Jung Ga-ram (Love Alarm) as Mu-jin; Uhm Ji-won (Little Women) as Min Yeon-ui, Hongrang’s mother and head of the Min Family’s Guild; Park Byung-eun (The Bequeathed) as Sim Yeol-guk, the Chief Merchant and father of Hongrang and Jae-yi; and Kim Jae-uck (Melo Movie) as Grand Prince Hanpyeong.
