Korean Drama " Dear X Who Doesn't Love Me " is a mess of a drama.

The start is pretty nice, introducing the characters and getting the viewer intrigued by the mystery book, the girl's past, her relationship with her father, and some dark, bloody scenes.

Unfortunately, the drama has a messy pace, jumping from one plotline to another without being cohesive. The love story was boring and predictable as well, without proper development or any surprises. The story overall was disappointing, had some unnecessary dark moments that weren't explained, and the final conclusion that wrapped up everything was more than disappointing, turning everything into a fairytale.

The performances, moreover, were okay, but needed to be better at times. The main girl's character, in addition, was annoying and unlikable.

So, overall, two out of ten.

Korean cinema is known for its mastery of genre, fluidly blending thriller, drama, and dark comedy with social critique. The post-1990s renaissance brought bold storytelling and masterful craft to the world stage, addressing class, identity, and modern anxieties with cinematic flair.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
