Pierce Conran South China Morning Post Sep 11
Although its style is frequently arresting, Dear Hongrang does not present itself as binge-worthy entertainment from the get-go. It feels as if the show’s aesthetics are meant to compensate for the excessive mystery of the plot. Go to Full Review Joly Herman Common Sense Media May 21
Missteps are rare in Dear Hongrang, which will best be enjoyed by older teens and adults who enjoy a supernatural chill with their K-drama. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider May 21
Dear Hongrang is a multi-layered story with good performances and stunning period visuals that should get more interesting as it goes along. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com May 16
4/5
It's too long, but Dear Hongrang is too intense to not binge. Filled with twists and turns and a heartbreaking and deplorable revelation in the end, it feels like a story spanning lifetimes. Go to Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community May 16
8/10
With its foundation set in mystery and intrigue, it's no surprise that Dear Hongrang (Tangeum) is a complicated and emotional viewing experience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Olga N Sep 7 I watched this series and I still can’t decide what impressed me the most: the acting, the cast, the characters, the plot twists, the costumes, the music or the overall visuals. It is a very emotional and intense show. Interestingly, most characters are not purely good or purely bad, except for a few very bad ones. Although some plot twists were a bit strange or confusing, I really enjoyed watching it. See more Read all reviews
