“The Glory” actress Lim Ji-yeon is enjoying her heyday after acting passionately for a decade
Lim Ji-yeon’s acting career began with her appearance in the short film “Dear Catastrophe” in 2011. She officially debuted on the big screen with the 2014 film “Obsessed” and made her name known in the film industry by winning Best New Actress at the 51st Grand Bell Awards.
In the following year, she drew attention by performing a high-level bed scene with shocking exposure in the movie “The Treacherous”. Regretfully, she faced harsh criticism over her acting skills this time.
In 2015, Lim Ji-yeon made her drama debut in “High Society” then continued starring in “The Royal Gambler” and “Blow Breeze”. Later, she made a drastic transformation from her original innocent image into a tough female detective with a short hairstyle in “Welcome 2 Life” and won Top Excellent Actress at the 2019 MBC Drama Awards with her stable acting.
After then, she appeared in various works, such as “Tazza: One Eyed Jack”, “Spiritwalker”, “The Mansion”, “Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area”, etc., and finally her life-changing drama “The Glory”.
Through “The Glory”, Lim Ji-yeon captivated viewers by perfectly portraying Park Yeon-jin, a school violence perpetrator with her fierce acting. She once again made a 360-degree transformation and excellently performed her first villain role. Her lines in the drama became buzzwords and created “Park Yeon-jin’s Craze” on social media.
Known as the best character in Lim Ji-yeon’s filmography, Park Yeon-jin was honored with Best Supporting Actress at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards and the 2nd Blue Dragon Series Awards. In addition, Lim Ji-yeon actually gained success in both work and love as she publicized her romantic relationship with actor Lee Do-hyun, who also appeared in “The Glory”, after the drama ended.
In “Lies Hidden in My Garden”, Lim Ji-yeon showed a new face as Chu Sang-eun, a domestic violence victim, and acted alongside Kim Tae-hee. This time, she went viral with her realistic mukbang scenes.
Emerging as a popular star after “The Glory”, Lim Ji-yeon continued to leave great impressions on viewers with “Lies Hidden in My Garden” and “The Killing Vote”. She is still working hard on the filming of the movie “Revolver”, which is highly anticipated with Jeon Do-yeon’s appearance. Attention is focused on the future projects of Lim Ji-yeon, who has been reborn as a trustworthy actress, and the new images she will show.
