Actress Lim Ji-yeon showed her deep affection for the work and characters by wrapping up 'Ok's Wife Exhibition'.
Lim Jiyeon, who made a life character with Netflix 'The Glory'. Afterwards, he challenged the title role of his first historical drama with 'Mrs. Ok'Jeon', and was happy that the viewers gave him a lot of love. Since the broadcast is over, I also hope it doesn't end."
Lim Ji-yeon recently met with Sports Chosun somewhere in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and responded to an interview to commemorate the end of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Ok's Wife Exhibition' (scripted by Park Ji-sook, director Jin-hyuk, Choi Bo-yoon, production SLL, Corpus Korea).
'Ok's Wife Exhibition' ended on the 26th with a fierce survival fraud between Ok Tae-young (Im Ji-yeon), a foreign newspaper whose name, status, and husband were all fake, and Chun Seung-hwi (Choo Young-woo), an artist who risked his life to protect her. Lim Ji-yeon was a slave in the play, but she played Ok Tae-young, whose aristocrats became cronies.

The historical drama challenge was not an easy choice. "Why should I read a historical drama script at first? It occurred to me that. But when I saw a character named Gudeok, I thought 'Ouch' It was embarrassing that I tried to set limits and rule out historical dramas on my own. He played a villain in 'The Glory' and challenged an investigative drama, but I wondered why historical dramas could not be done. So I decided to go for it boldly"He confessed. "I sometimes regretted it while filming, but I was able to overcome the trauma by receiving a lot of love. Now I'm confident in period dramas."
Gudeok in the work undergoes changes in various positions, from slaves to aristocrats to wives and outsiders. "I didn't see Gudeok and Ok Tae-young as other people. I thought Gudeok's blood was flowing even after I became a wife. There were many emotional extreme situations, so I tried to burst it as much as possible, and there were many mentally difficult moments." "It was so hard to let this character go. I really loved you so much that I want to learn how to let you go," he added.
As for Chu Young-woo, who worked as a couple in the play, chemistry was really important. I wanted to make a melodrama line together, but rather, I got a lot of help. His ability to analyze characters with his own colors was excellent, and he was amazed to see him acting sly and nonchalantly," he praised. At the same time, "I nagged a lot as an older sister. Even if it's hard, don't make it obvious and don't say a lot of useless things. He advised me to be more serious and heavy. I think it's because I love you so much."
Kim's relationship with Kim was also special. "Now he's really like my son. I saw it at the premiere and it was so pretty. Yeonwoo, Hayuli, and Yoon Seo-ah are all so pretty. Watching them work hard reminded me of my 20s, and I was proud" expressed affection.
Lee Do-hyun, a lover who is currently serving in the military, also said that he is watching 'Ok's Wife War'. "I like historical dramas, so I'm enjoying them. In fact, we don't talk much about work with each other, but we share our concerns as actors and rely on them a lot. I received a lot of support and wished you a happy new year" laughed shyly.

He has grown further as an actor through this work, saying, `Although I am disappointed in acting, it was a great learning that I experienced the narrative for the first time." "It was physically difficult, but now I have the know-how to manage it. It is also helpful to relieve stress by learning boxing and sparring" he said.
About the genre I want to challenge in the future "Now I want to try a pleasant comedy. I want to show you a more comfortable side by doing a lot of heavy works." The reason why he decided to appear in the entertainment show `Your Sister's Mountain Direct Song' is also in line with that. "I've been running on the work nonstop, and I needed healing. It's not just 'Actor Lim Ji-yeon' but I want to hang out with people and show myself as I am", he explained.
As for the 2025 goal set for the new year, "I want to have a good time with Gudeok, heal from entertainment, and prepare for my next film." Above all, I think I need mental care for myself. I'm looking for new hobbies and thinking about things for my mental health."
After leaving an intense presence with Yeonjin of 'The Glory', Lim Ji-yeon showed another transformation in 'Occ wife exhibition'. "I want to be remembered as long as Yeonjin."Lim Ji-yeon's unique acting journey continues to be anticipated.
