After various minor roles, actress Kim Ji Eun is finally getting to shine in the new K-drama “Again My Life”, alongside Lee Jun Ki.
Action star Lee Jun Ki recently made a comeback via the thrilling law drama “Again My Life”. Here, he transforms into Kim Hee Woo, a righteous prosecutor who earns the chance to relive his life, and aims to unveil the truth behind his death, as well as serve rightful punishments to criminals.
In his second life, Hee Woo runs into Kim Hee Ah – the youngest daughter of the powerful Cheonha Group. Smart and beautiful, she and Hee Woo share the same purpose, and work closely together as partners in crime.
And the actress behind our female lead is none other than Kim Ji Eun, who is starting to gain recognition after her previous works, “Strangers From Hell” and “The Veil”. Below are some notable details about this rising actress:
Kim Ji Eun was born on October 9, 1993. She graduated from Cheongjo University with a bachelor’s degree in Theater and Cinema, making her well-trained in the realm of acting. She first entered showbiz as a model, before having her acting debut in 2015 with a minor role in the movie “Tattoo”.
However, amid the highly competitive Korean entertainment industry, Kim Ji Eun had little chance to rise, and it was only until 2021, after the success of action series “The Veil”, did the actress finally get her rightfully deserved attention.
Since then, Ji Eun’s name started to become known by the public, with many even comparing her visuals to AOA’s Seolhyun, APink’s Naeun, Girls’ Generation’s Yoona, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, ITZY’s Ryujin, as well as famous actresses Shin Se Kyung and Han So Hee.
In many of her photos, Ji Eun indeed looks like a softer and more elegant combination of Seolhyun and Ryujin. The actress may not stand out among all these gorgeous people, but there is still a unique charm.
Most important though, is Ji Eun’s acting abilities. It took her a long 7 years to go from minor roles to very much deserved leading opportunities.
In 2021, her role as Yoo Je Yi in “The Veil” has provided the actress with numerous grounds to show off her skills. Against the very much talented Nam Goong Min and Park Ha Sun, the young actress did not fall behind, even managed to make her own mark via her expressive acting.
This year, Ji Eun is once again proving herself capable as the co-star of Lee Jun Ki in “Again My Life”. The series, despite being packed with action, thrills, and investigation, still have moments where Ji Eun can be softer and more emotional.
Kim Ji Eun is truly a late bloomer who has gone from zero to hero, and manages to shine against all odds. Hopefully, she will earn more breakthroughs and reap more successes in the future.
