Ajin Baek is a flawless success story—an award-winning actress adored by the public, with beauty, fame, and a perfect future ahead. On the night of a major award ceremony, as she prepares to announce her engagement, a shocking news broadcast exposes the darkness behind her glamorous image. As Ajin’s past is dragged into the spotlight, the story unravels how far she was willing to go to secure her position at the top. Told across four interconnected parts that together form the warning “Do Not Provoke the Heartless Monster,” this is a story of ambition unchecked and humanity discarded.
Dear X is a masterclass in character-driven psychological horror. Ajin Baek isn’t misunderstood, redeemed, or softened—she is exposed. The series refuses to justify her actions, instead forcing readers to confront the terrifying consequences of success pursued without empathy.
What makes the story unforgettable is its structure. Each arc peels back another layer of Ajin’s cruelty, revealing how her rise was built on manipulation, exploitation, and emotional destruction. The title’s hidden message isn’t metaphorical—it’s a warning.
This webtoon is ideal for readers who appreciate dark psychological studies, morally irredeemable protagonists, and narratives that leave a lasting impact. Dear X doesn’t ask for sympathy—it demands reflection.
