“Dear Hyeri” is striking a chord with viewers thanks to its realistic and deeply relatable dialogue that resonates on a personal level.

“Dear Hyeri” is a healing romance drama that revolves around Joo Eun Ho (Shin Hae Sun), an announcer who develops dissociative identity disorder following the disappearance of her younger sister and her breakup with her longtime boyfriend Jung Hyun Oh (Lee Jin Uk). Shin Hae Sun plays the dual roles of Joo Eun Ho, a veteran news announcer with zero presence, and parking attendant Joo Hye Ri.

Throughout the series, “Dear Hyeri” offers comfort to viewers through its intricately woven storyline packed with touching lines and scenes. The drama explores the dynamics of Eun Ho’s eight-year relationship with Jung Hyun Oh, alongside the sweet budding romance between Eun Ho’s second personality Joo Hye Ri and Kang Joo Yeon (Kang Hoon). Together, these elements create a diverse range of relatable moments.

Here are four poignant lines from the drama that viewers resonate with:

1. “Being alive is a good thing, so please be grateful.”

In Episode 4, Hye Ri and Joo Yeon visit Joo Yeon’s mother in the hospital. Overwhelmed by the loss of her son, Joo Yeon’s brother Se Yeon, who died in a car accident after attending Joo Yeon’s graduation, Joo Yeon’s mother became ill, her grief fueling a simmering resentment toward Joo Yeon. Mistaking Joo Yeon for his deceased brother, she reaches for him, and Hye Ri gently takes her hand, saying, “Being alive is a good thing, so please be grateful—for you being alive and for Joo Yeon being alive.”

Hye Ri’s quiet reminder to find gratitude in simply being alive struck a chord with viewers, many of whom expressed that they needed to hear such comforting words.

2. “Whether it’s eight years or eight weeks, breaking up is all the same.”

Despite being a well-known announcer couple of eight years, Eun Ho and Hyun Oh’s breakup unfolded in a heartbreakingly “ordinary” way. In Episode 5, Hyun Oh, who declared he wouldn’t marry during the early stages of their relationship, abruptly ends their relationship when she raises the topic again. He coldly replied, “Marriage? I’m not doing such a thing, Eun Ho,” even as Eun Ho pleaded, “Don’t you understand what eight years means? After sharing that time together, how can we break up just like this?” But Hyun Oh, with tear-filled eyes, responds, “Whether it’s eight years or eight weeks, breaking up is all the same. You say ‘Goodbye,’ and it’s over.”

Hyun Oh’s line has sparked conversations among viewers, being dubbed one of the most common lines heard in long-term relationship breakups. Many relate to the stark reality of how quickly time spent together can turn to ashes in an instant—while others empathize with both perspectives.

3. “I hate myself. I really wish I could be happy.”

In Episode 8, a devastated Eun Ho, mistakenly believing Hyun Oh is marrying another woman, withdraws from all her programs. Exhausted and emotionally shattered, she returns home and opens her diary where she writes “I hate myself,” before she begins to pen a letter to Hye Ri, confessing, “I really wish I could be happy.”

In stark contrast to Hye Ri’s happy diary entries, Eun Ho’s entries evoke empathy from viewers who have faced similar self-hatred or felt overwhelmed by life. For those who’ve wrestled with self-criticism or written similar words in a moment of despair, this scene is hauntingly relatable and profoundly moving.

4. “That means Joo Eun Ho has been through a lot of pain. Don’t you care about that?”

In Episode 9, as Joo Yeon searches for the missing Eun Ho, he confronts Hyun Oh and reveals his connection to Eun Ho (Hye Ri). Startled by the revelation that Eun Ho (Hye Ri) had been dating Joo Yeon, Hyun Oh is met with Joo Yeon’s frustration. In a moment of anger, Joo Yeon asks, “Dissociative identity disorder is, by definition, a disorder. This means that Joo Eun Ho has been through a lot of pain. Don’t you care about that?”

Joo Yeon’s empathy and love for Eun Ho struck a chord with viewers, with many expressing how they wished for someone to recognize Eun Ho’s struggles in the same way. It serves as a reminder of how meaningful it is to have someone care deeply about your well-being.
