Plot
Dear Hongrang is a gripping historical drama that delves into the mysterious return of a long-lost heir and the complex web of emotions, secrets, and suspicions that follow. Set during the tumultuous Joseon era, the series follows the enigmatic story of Hongrang, the son of a powerful and wealthy merchant family who vanishes without a trace at the tender age of eight. His disappearance leaves a deep scar on the household, haunting those who were closest to him.
Twelve years later, a young man appears, claiming to be the missing Hongrang. However, he has no recollection of his childhood or the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. This shocking return sends ripples through the family and community. While some are eager to embrace him, others harbor deep doubts.
Among the skeptics is his stepsister, Jae-yi—a sharp, determined young woman who struggles to reconcile her fading memories of her brother with the stranger now living under the same roof. Although initially wary, Jae-yi finds herself inexplicably drawn to the man who could either be her lost brother or an imposter with dangerous motives. Meanwhile, their mother, still burdened by grief and emotional wounds, refuses to accept the possibility that this man is truly her son, adding further strain to the already fragile family dynamic.
As Jae-yi takes it upon herself to uncover the truth, her investigation pulls her deeper into a maze of old wounds, hidden motives, and long-buried family secrets. Her quest soon reveals that Hongrang’s disappearance may not have been an accident—and that his return is linked to larger political schemes and power struggles that threaten to destabilize the family and the society around them.
