Once criticized for her poor acting skills, Lim Ji Yeon completely reversed the public’s opinion with her improvements in “The Glory”
On March 11th, an article titled “Actress who has improved so much that it’s hard to believe there was once a controversy over her acting skills in the past” was posted on an online community.
The netizen who wrote the article explained, “Many of Im Ji Yeon’s early works in her debut days were criticized harshly to the extent that the search results for her name on Google would show ‘acting controversy’ attached to it”, adding “On a talk show in the past, Heo Ji Woong evaluated Im Ji Yeon’s acting skills at the beginning of her career, saying ‘Im Ji Yeon has a rare and pretty face, but her acting is not there yet. If she had both a beautiful look and good acting skills, she would become an irreplaceable actress’.”
They continued, “Later, she showed improvement in her acting skills through ‘Blow Breeze’ but there were not many outstanding acting scenes enough to help her gain recognition as a great actress. However, Lim Ji Yeon finally met her lifetime character Park Yeon Jin. I wonder if this person really used to suffer controversies over her acting skills. I can feel that she had practiced really hard to improve her acting. As a fan, I am happy to see her receive so many compliments these days”.
In response, other netizens commented, “Looking back at the short films that Lim Ji Yeon appeared in at the beginning of her career, her performance was actually not too bad even back then”, “She looked like a completely different person and her acting was a little awkward during her debut days”, “I hope she would become more successful”, “I watched the drama ‘Rose Mansion’ starring Lim Ji Yeon and her acting gave me goosebumps”, “She also appeared in ‘Money Heist’ as Seoul”, “Lim Ji Yeon has been steadily improving her skills and that’s why her works are doing so well now”, etc.
Lim Ji Yeon is receiving favorable reviews for her performance as Park Yeon Jin, the main perpetrator who bullied Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo) in high school, in Netflix’s original series “The Glory”.
