That’s acting at its finest." Another commented, "She deceives men into doing things for her, avoids responsibility, and leaves them miserable. we love to see women in male-dominated fields #DearX."

"I can't believe Kim Yoojung was scared of taking this role and the director had to tell her she's the one they want and reassured her that she can do it. Like you were made for this masterpiece," said one fan.

One review read, "Watched #DearX one episode out of curiosity... ended up (want to) binged it straight damnnn it kim yoo jung youre so great."

Another stated, "Ajin was so done with her abusive father that she staged everything. endured the beatings, played innocent, and made sure he was gone so she could finally be free. The way she manipulates people is scary and brilliant. She’ll do anything to survive."
