The 8th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama My Dearest" aired on the 26th. Lee Jang Hyun (Namkoong Min), who had traveled to Qing Dynasty Shenyang and Crown Prince So Hyun (Kim Moo Joon) in disguise, is now facing a life-threatening crisis. Yoo Gil Chae (Ahn Eun Jin) in Hanyang mistakenly assumes that Lee Jang Hyun has died in Shenyang, shedding heart-wrenching sorrow.

Leaving behind the remark "I truly despise you" due to his bitter feelings toward Yoo Gil Chae, Lee Jang Hyun departs for the Qing Dynasty. Yoo Gil Chae realizes her feelings for him belatedly after he's gone. Viewers are hoping for the inevitable reunion of Lee Jang Hyun and Yoo Gil Chae, eagerly awaiting for their love to bloom. For that to happen, Lee Jang Hyun must overcome the death crisis.

In the 8th episode of My Dearest, Lee Jang Hyun is falsely accused of instigating a plot against Qing's Minister of War, Yong Gol Dae (Choi Young Woo), and is summoned before Qing's powerful Hong Taiji (Kim Joon Won). Hong Taiji had previously recognized Lee Jang Hyun as an undercover agent during the Red Turban Rebellion and became suspicious of him. Unless Lee Jang Hyun can dispel Hong Taiji's doubts, he is stuck in a situation where he could be executed.

The production team revealed images of Lee Jang Hyun with a sharp gaze while kneeling, his knees on the ground. Another photo shows him standing straight with a defiant smile directed at Yong Gol Dae. The question of how Lee Jang Hyun will overcome the crisis generates much anticipation.

Furthermore, the powerful acting chemistry between Kim Joon Won and Choi Young Woo builds up the tension.
