Dear X is an upcoming K-drama that is all set to star renowned South Korean actress Kim Yoo-Jung. The new series has been adapted from VANZIUN’s highly celebrated webtoon, titled the same. Meanwhile, Kim Yoo-Jung has previously worked in another popular webtoon-based K-drama, Chicken Nugget, on Netflix.

Dear X by VANZIUN is a webtoon and not a manhwa. The term manhwa refers to all graphic novels and comics of Korean origin. They specifically reflect Korean culture, and they are read left to right, horizontally. However, webtoons are more about the comic format and style than their origin. Webtoons are not divided into separate pages and certainly do not contain frames. Although nowadays most manhwas are released in webtoon forms, not all webtoons are manhwas.
