Through the art trade, a family gains riches in the late Joseon Dynasty. But when Hong Rang, the son, comes back after a ten-year absence without any memory of his early years, an unexplained incident occurs. Close to him since childhood, Jae I, his half-sister, now investigates the truth behind his unexpected disappearance. Jae I, despite living with an abusive stepmother and a negligent father, is a clever and attractive individual with a disturbed personality. She had depended on Hong Rang, but with his disappearance, her life was challenging. Growing up raised in luxury, Hong Rang returns to discover his actual identity—a secret to all.

“Dear Hongrang” combines mystery, romance, and family secrets with breathtaking visuals. The outstanding ensemble—Jung Ga Ram as the competing adoptive son and Kim Jae Wook as a sharp-eyed prince—adds levels of drama you will love.

“Dear Hongrang” premieres May 16th only on Netflix.
