Dear X: Season 2 Suggestion? Baek Ah Jin’s mysterious return sparks theories of revenge

TVING recently released a surprising set of stills from the final episode, confirming that Baek Ah Jin (played by Kim Yoo Jung) visited his own grave. Dressed uniquely with a gold ring on her finger, different from her wedding ring, her appearance screams rebirth rather than death. Could this be the start of a darker, more powerful version of Ah Jin?

Accompanying the photos, TVING wrote on Instagram: “Grand Finale, the final act begins.” Fans immediately speculated that this could be an Easter egg that teases the second season of Dear X, in which the manipulative actress makes her return after years in hiding.

The ending quickly moves from the revelation of Ah Jin surviving the car crash to her visit to the tomb. Logically, official declarations of death after such incidents usually take years unless a body or hard evidence is found. This implies that Ah Jin remained hidden for a long time, perhaps 1 to 5 years, before resurfacing.

And, notably, she wasn’t wearing a wedding ring, a telling clue that suggests she’s no longer tied to her powerful but toxic husband, Moon Do Hyeok (played by Hong Jong Hyun). The absence of the ring strongly suggests that Ah Jin has freed herself from her chaebol captor.

So how did she survive and stay hidden? Fans speculate that he hid riches under another name or gained the support of someone even more powerful than Moon Do Hyeok. A new dark “protector”, perhaps? The ending shows her climbing out of a bloody wreck, a scene so dramatic that someone must have helped cover it up. It’s unlikely that Moon Do Hyeok was behind this – his men were unaware, as shown in the phone call scene.

The final shot of Ah Jin climbing a cliff, bloody but smiling, is haunting. This suggests that his rise to power is not over: it has just begun. Dear X fans now expect a twisted return: Ah Jin returns under a new identity, perhaps with even greater influence, setting the stage for a deadly clash with Moon Do Hyeok, who may try to drag her back into his empire.

However, many viewers express frustration that the villain escapes justice. Some hope that season two will show her dealing with brutal consequences, or even psychological torment worse than death.

It’s worth noting that the original Dear X webtoon does not have a second season. TVING has yet to officially confirm any continuation, and the ending may simply be a narrative device to spark fans’ imaginations.

In a behind-the-scenes vlog, Kim Yoo Jung addressed the character with a wry smile: “I’m not on her side. I’m grateful that I finally managed to escape her. She tortured me a lot. Now I can finally enjoy Dear X as Kim Yoo Jung.” His remarks don’t suggest clear plans for season two, but they leave the door ajar for the unforeseeable.

For now, Dear X ends with a comma, not a period. Whether it will continue depends on the desire of the fans and the ambition of the producers.
