‘Strong Girl Nam-soon’ Lee Yoo-mi And ‘7 Escape’ Lee Yu-bi Finally Meet Their Life-changing Dramas
Similarities in the recent moves of Lee Yoo-mi and Lee Yu-bi drew attention
Lee Yoo-mi and Lee Yu-bi debuted a long time ago but they did not receive much attention compared to their acting abilities. Only recently did they eventually gain recognition.
Lee Yoo-mi made her debut in 2009 through a commercial and spent a long time working as an unknown actress. After starring in Netflix’s global hit series “Squid Game” in 2021, she rose to stardom and became widely known to the public. Although her character Ji-young couldn’t survive until the end of the drama, she left a strong impression on viewers with an impactful ending. Thanks to this role, Lee Yoo-mi won Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series at the 74th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
The actress later proved her presence by playing Lee Na-yeon in the 2022 series “All Of Us Are Dead”. Although the next work “Mental Coach Jegal” recorded a regretful result, Lee Yoo-mi immediately showed an improvement.
Her new drama “Strong Girl Nam-soon” started off well with a 4.3% rating in episode 1 then exceeded 6% after airing episode 2. Known as the next season that expanded the worldview of “Strong Girl Bong-soon” 6 years ago, “Strong Girl Nam-soon” has been highly anticipated since its production stage. In fact, Lee Yoo-mi succeeded in captivating viewers with her natural portrayal of Nam-soon, a girl with superhuman strength who grew up in Mongolia and received favorable reviews. As such, Lee Yoo-mi is expected to achieve a successful leading role if the upward trend of “Strong Girl Nam-soon” continues.
In the meantime, Lee Yu-bi made her debut in the MBN’s 2011 drama “Vampire Idol”. She was not an unknown actress but did not gain much attention either.
Starring in “The Innocent Man” as Song Joong-ki’s younger sister Kang Choco, Lee Yu-bi later took the lead roles in various series, such as “Gu Family Book”, “Pinocchio”, and “The Scholar Who Walks the Night”, but couldn’t make a decisive hit. Despite her long acting career, Lee Yu-bi is most famous for being Kyeon Mi-ri’s daughter.
Recently, Lee Yu-bi got cast in Kim Soon-ok’s drama “7 Escape” and it is highly likely that this will be a turning point for her. Stimulating viewers’ anger with her evil acting as Mo-ne, the actress finally received compliments after a long time. Despite controversies, “7 Escape” has surpassed 7% and is still soaring.
The two actresses, “Strong Girl Nam-soon” Lee Yoo-mi and “7 Escape” Lee Yu-bi, will officially face off in a weekend drama competition starting on October 14th. Fans are also looking forward to seeing who will win this competition, pleasant and cheerful Lee Yoo-mi or mad and evil Lee Yu-bi. The results of the two dramas are also expected to have a significant influence on the presence of the two actresses.
