Dear X episode 7-8: Release date news, streaming details, and more

With each new episode, the story in Dear X gets thrilling, thanks to the incredible cast members for bringing Ah-jin, Jun-seo, and others to life with depth in the characters. And the latest episodes became even more special as Hwang In-youp finally appears opposite Ah-jin.

The True Beauty heartthrob can be seen playing another popular actor in the industry and Le-na's boyfriend (only for the fans), as they have broken up already. And it looks like Ah-jin has a great plan to seduce Heo In-gang and episode 6 clearly proves it.

Episode 6 ended with a kiss between In-gang and Ah-jin, while Jun-seo is lying on the road, injured and heartbroken as always. This new bond between the two actors might push Jun-seo to go against Ah-jin, not immediately, but the shift seems bound to happen

So, make sure to watch episodes 7 and 8 of Dear X arriving on Thursday, November 20, 2025 only on TVING, HBO Max, and Viki. This means that the K-drama can be streamed on more than one platform easily.

Complete details of the upcoming episodes and the story so far are right below.

TVING: This is the exclusive option for audiences in South Korea.

What happened in Dear X episodes 5-6: A quick recap

The episode begins with Ah-jin rising in her acting career and even debuts at the BIFF red carpet with the famous actor In-Gang. However, this does not mean that Ah-jin won't face challenges anymore.

In-Gang's girlfriend, Le-na, is also Ah-jin's senior who constantly bullies her on the set while filming for a project. And Le-na only stops when the CEO reminds her that her DUI can be exposed anytime.

Ah-Jin then learns that Longstar keeps secret files to control their stars, which pushes her to take action. Meanwhile, Jun-seo has become a famous author whose work reflects that his world revolves around Ah-jin.

One night, Le-Na attacks Ah-Jin inside the company building, unaware that Ah-Jin’s manager records the incident. The footage later plays at Longstar’s Christmas event, and Ah-jin reminds Le-na not to mess with her.

In episode 6 of Dear X, the disgraced Detective Park appears at the event and threatens Ah-jin. He knows her past and is trying to blackmail her. However, Ah-jin isn't someone who backs off easily.

She uses her manipulation and asks Jun-seo and Jae-Oh to work together to stop him. At the same time, actor In-gang has been secretly struggling with trauma. He gradually gets closer to Ah-jin, just as she wanted.

After a staged delay caused by Jae-Oh, they finally share a kiss by the end of Dear X episode 6. The end is dark as Jun-Seo gets badly injured during a fight defending Ah-Jin, leaving his fate uncertain.
