Actress Lim Ji Yeon Will Star In A Historical K-Drama As The Leading Role For The First Time
Actress Lim Ji Yeon recently rose to fame with the hit Netflix K-Drama The Glory and was praised for her phenomenal acting. Soon, we will be able to see Lim Ji Yeon in another K-Drama—this time a historical one!
On May 17, an exclusive report from StarNews revealed that Lim Ji Yeon would be starring in JTBC‘s new historical K-Drama 옥씨부인전, which translates into The Story of Lady Ok. She will play the female lead, the daughter of a lowly servant but earns the envy and admiration of others as she rises to power after marrying a nobleman. The show tells a compelling tale of survival and success for a woman servant in the Joseon era.
This isn’t the first time Lim Ji Yeon acted in a historical production. In 2015, she was in the movie The Treacherous; the following year, she was in SBS’s The Royal Gambler. This will be her third historical production.
The Story of Lady Ok will be Lim Ji Yeon’s first time in her 12-year career to play the main leading role. Her impressive acting in recent works such as Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area and The Glory proved that she is a versatile actress, and we can’t wait to see her new charms in the upcoming historical K-Drama.
Her talent and success are evident in her packed schedule for 2023; in addition to The Story of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon will star in ENA‘s Lies Hidden in My Garden alongside top actress Kim Tae Hee, which will premiere on June 19, and SBS‘s National Death Penalty Vote, which is scheduled for the second half of this year.
