Comments

seorishi Jun 16 2026 6:43 am All of my fav kdramas coming from her is saying something, the glory, the tale of lady ok & now my royal nemesis

Mina Jun 14 2026 4:14 am I'm looking forward to your acting awards for My Royal Nemesis. Such great actress you are in this best korean drama of this year!

Anin Jun 08 2026 12:00 am She is the best actress in The Glory. Should have won the Best Actress ??

PANDORA May 31 2026 8:53 pm She’ll go down as one of the greatest villainess portrayals of all time.

Mad May 27 2026 1:11 am Honestly one of the best actress in South Korea of her generation, I could not recall her as Park Yeonjin and Ok Taeyoung at all.

Daebakk May 26 2026 10:58 am Such best acting for My Royal Nemesis! You are so great actress of this generation. Hoping for your more acting projects and kdrama soon!

zoe May 21 2026 8:20 am Queen on her prime, keep releasing hits after hits

Andrea M May 13 2026 10:28 am I hope she got the flowers she deserved after My Royal Nemesis ends, started promosing but I’ve never doubted Lim Jiyeon, so i’m definitely seated until the end

mea May 12 2026 11:13 pm Love her in Lady Ok but hated her character in nice to not meet you. royal nemesis just started and so far it reminded me of her lady ok but this time in a more comedic setting. looking forward to it

Shen Apr 26 2026 5:15 am I really love her performance in The Tale of Lady Ok. Very underrated but very moving and empowering

Key Apr 26 2026 5:13 am I love her in the tale of lady ok so much, it’s very empowering & moving

xiao Apr 19 2026 5:18 am Very talented versatile actress, holding and commanding the screen

Sebastian Parra Feb 11 2026 7:25 am I love when she did the movie obsessed

Noname Feb 08 2026 1:12 am I really love her. Aside from being a great actress, she's fun to watch on variety shows.

Fred Cordiano Jan 31 2026 9:40 pm Impressive actress Reminds me of Jeon do Yeon Tackles many different characters

Saad Jan 07 2026 5:10 pm I first saw her in the Glory 3 years ago and she did an amazing job. Now I watched her in Nice to not meet you & The tale of lady ok back to back and I'm obsessed with her. A truly phenomenal actress with diverse roles.

zaza Dec 10 2025 12:43 pm One of the most talented actress to date. She have a good taste in choosing dramas and almost look like a different person everytime. It blew me away

tofu Nov 14 2025 6:19 am I first saw her in her debut drama and she was natural beauty. Now came across her new drama but her face changed a lot. I know both dramas are 10 years apart but her face look more like surgery went wrong.

Magda USA Sep 05 2025 8:05 pm What a beautiful and adorable young actress! She was so bubbly in High Society! She’s a very talented good actress!

Lea Aug 17 2025 4:49 am heard about her upcoming Korean drama “brave new world” can’t wait to see her in itt

Nini Mar 03 2025 3:07 am I don’t say this often but her aura + talents is outstanding. One of the most talented top actress in Korea for sure

Bea Feb 05 2025 5:43 am Lim Ji Yeon ~ such a beauty and one of the icons in kdramas. I'm so lucky i found another gem. Its my first time seeing her in the Tale of Lady Ok and i can definitely say she's one of the most versatile actors i have seen so far considering most of my favorite actresses are already in their 40's and up (kim hye soo, doona, jun ji hyun) and i dare say they are on legendary level and are well respected in korea. I'm not really into overly cliche melodrama or romcom series usually led by young actors, early 20's to 30's, and i have seen myself dropping more and more kdramas often before i even get through halfway as i get bored easily, so i'm glad that i watched the tale of the lady ok as i not found a masterpiece but also a great actress.

I feel like she wasn't given enough good projects as the main protagonist aside from the tale of lady ok and money heist. Despite her excellent acting skills, she was not well recognized yet, as her projects are limited and some of them doesn't have good reviews. Hopefully, she would be offered with more projects that are well written so we could see her more in the future.

Ghe Feb 02 2025 6:56 am She should act a Queen in historical drama. Looking forward to her more historical drama.

Nimi Jan 27 2025 4:42 am Such a great actress,she’s so pretty too Thanks for the masterpiece tale of lady ok

WPS Jan 26 2025 10:15 pm Just finished The tale of lady Ok, my gaaad that was so great! It is my first time watching her and swear never the last.. i might watch all of those listed!

Abby J Dec 02 2024 4:02 am She really act without even worried about her looks. I love her acting in the "Lies Hidden In My Garden" The last scene at the prison, when she shouted "Why" gets me the goosebump! That is so raw acting. She is grateful but not grateful. I wish she act on more challenging role be it villain, brat or princess. I will watch. Love from borneo island.

Ashley Apr 20 2024 5:55 am OMG, she’s really gorgeous… what a well rounded person with beauty and talents. In real life she seemed like a total sweetie compared to her darker roles. I hope she will play rom-com projects soon.

Jestine29 Aug 05 2023 6:00 pm Wow! 5 dramas in a span of two years??? Really, not bad!!! Amazing. Hope she gets more project. She is a gem.

lyle Jul 30 2023 1:51 pm i really like the role you portray

vicar Jul 17 2023 8:13 am Love her in The glory and Lies Hidden in my garden! she's a very interesting actress, a gem after so long in kdramaland i'm following her activities now.

noura Jun 12 2023 12:07 am best facial expressions and acting! it's great she have 2 projects this year looking forward to it

Jhon Aldrin Casinas Jun 06 2023 11:49 pm Lim Ji-yeon is almost done collecting all the Troika queens, she already worked with Song Hye-Kyo and now she's working with Kim Tae-hee. In her new project, she's the one seeking revenge. I think she will win the Best Actress award for her performance.

Cb May 28 2023 4:45 am She's so beautiful. I fell in love with her in Money Heist.

Sangesang May 10 2023 10:55 am Congrats on the baeksang win!! Looking forward to your future project

Ranzi Apr 02 2023 3:02 pm Probably my fav actress now

allthatx Mar 29 2023 10:30 am My favourite villain! She deserved all the awards coming for her after this. Looking forward to her next project. She stands out the most in The Glory. Evil in drama but a softie outside. I’m officially a fan

kriz Mar 26 2023 10:47 am great actress im ji hyeon. i had seen her in high society, then obsession, then the glory.she has expressive facial reactions. i hope to her in other projects. i hope one day she will have a project with another great villain actor, joo dan te from the Penthouse.

sinmin Mar 26 2023 6:14 am I saw her in sweet and innocent roles initially and then came the Glory where she was absolutely a b*tch who I hurled curses at. She did a fabulous job playing the role of the villain in the glory. Want to see her in more dramas..she is versatile and supremely talented

A-REAL LOVER CAN'T BE STOLEN Mar 23 2023 10:21 am i love her in High Society and Money Heist. And I hate her on The Glory

She's such a great actress that I can feel all her role

Joy Mar 18 2023 4:03 pm She’s the female version of Lee Jae Wook facially

kdrama lover Mar 16 2023 7:07 am Dang She's A Great Actress!! Her acting in The Glory was superb!!! Bravooo!!!

Jessie Mar 13 2023 8:38 am I love this girl!!! Such a great actress

Dian Isna Mar 12 2023 11:30 pm she looks like solar mamamoo

JT Mar 12 2023 8:34 pm This lady is a great actress. Perfect villain. My favorite in Glory.

Kheydi Mar 11 2023 7:11 pm She’s stands out in the Glory. I always love her expressions in the show. She’s the best actress for me in the Glory kdrama ❤️

DramaHeir Mar 11 2023 5:11 pm Absolutely hated her in The Glory!! So that says a lot about her acting!! I still can't get over her character. Im wishing for her doom so bad!! The characters that is!! I think I will not be able to get over her character until she makes 2 or 4 super duper nice kind almost angel like characters in her new dramas. I see her face and it reminds me of PYJ and I boil. Lol!

hoone Mar 11 2023 2:27 pm one of the antagonist that made me angry!! the acting was soo goodd she deserves an award in the glory.

Street Feb 27 2023 1:16 pm In the glory she works so good that I hate her so much, I forgot she was the one who in lead roll in Mojito it's one of best drama and her character in drama soju is best character who let us forgot our stressful day and make our mind refresh. and I'm also impressed how she played Seoul roll in money heist korea an action woman. I mean if you compare these 3 character she played you can say they all different from each other but yet Lim Ji Yeon played so nicely so we can't forget any of this and we believe she is the real character of each story.

Nia K. Haryanto Jan 09 2023 7:51 pm Nice actor. The antagonist that make the audiences hate her so much in The Glory. Bravo!

Ron Woods Jan 08 2023 2:37 am Absolutely stunning, most talented and beautiful, ever!

Chip Croft Jan 07 2023 2:14 am Often the villains in films don't get the accolades they deserve because their character is vile. She is brilliant and deserves to receive highest praise for her brilliant acting in The Glory. Outstanding!

kimmy yoo Jan 01 2023 2:22 pm Girl, you nail it when you play as Park Yeonjin on The Glory! Your synchronization with Shin Ye Eun who act as your younger self is amazing. Your expression, your moves... Wow, you must've done a lot of research to build this character. Well done! If there's an award ceremony, you should've won as best supporting actress

Portia Morz Jan 01 2023 8:45 am I hate her character in the glory but she looks so stunning every episode. they had good chemistry with the colorblind guy and she kinds reminds me of solar from mamamoo.

gg Nov 11 2022 1:51 am @gisselle yes yes, Money Heist Korea-2 trailer was released recently and I thought LJW played a woman's character :)

Capa Jun 21 2022 6:26 am I actually thought she was Song Ji-Hyo in Spiritwalker because they look so much alike in the character and appearance (check out Ji-Hyo in 2004's Some).

Gabb Sep 01 2021 11:05 am My first time i saw this actress when i watched obsessed 2 years ago but when i watched treacherous, O.M.G. i am quiet shock when i saw her as a main lead also. I can't imagine what is happening in that movie I was really impressed with her acting, she is really good actress and hope she will come back again doing dramas or movies. God bless with this girl.

rranee Aug 23 2020 11:01 am i start falling in love for her on high society and then i watched welcome 2 life, she's soooo stunning there! how she acted as a mom but also detective are so amazing!!

Teddy Aug 02 2020 1:43 pm the most beautiful and talented lady. Stay safe.

gisselle Nov 07 2019 9:11 pm she looks like a female version of lee jaewook, right?

David Sep 04 2019 2:49 pm I like her this show, she is so cute....I lke her the movie obessed....she has nice body

Abbybae Aug 07 2019 5:59 pm I just saw she's playing the female lead in WELCOME TO LIFE with Rain and I'm so excited. Yay!

Jackie Aug 06 2019 9:22 pm She was born in 1990? She looks so old!!! I don't like her acting at all.

juju Feb 16 2019 9:10 am beautiful. Just finished whatced obsessed. she has has nice body..boobs and tits

Mayan Jan 17 2019 2:46 am Amazingly beautiful and she's perfect for romantic comedy k dramas. Like the role in high society, she does look super adorable too =)

azhure Dec 04 2018 5:19 am you are so beautiful and ravishing....definitely gonna marry you in the next life

tsuki Sep 22 2018 6:17 am she is phenomenal,terrific,extraordinary and beautiful and such an amazing actress. she slayed uee in high society. any show with her is worth watching.

Evelyn Sep 15 2017 11:30 am I love her in High Society she's the best

Kate May 12 2017 8:28 am First saw her in High Society and I really loved the relationship between her character and Park Hyung Sik's character. They were more interesting than the main couple. Then I watched Obsessed and The Treacherous and I was impressed by how open she is in taking those kind of roles. And then I saw her in Law of the Jungle and I'm surprised by how easygoing, brave and just overall awesome she is in real life.

Josephine Siakhai Mar 20 2017 2:09 pm i love her from Blow Breeze she's so beautiful and talented and she's a good actress....and i love her because of her funniest eloecially on running man and she's so sexy... 운니 정말 사랑해요 너무 너무 감사합니다

vaurelle Feb 17 2017 3:03 am I first saw her in K-drama, Doctors. I did not pay attention toward her. After watching Blow Breeze, she took my breath away! She's very beautiful and talented. I love her chemistry on screen with Oppa Jang go! She's really good actress!I would love to see more project showcasing her talent. To all Korean advertisement agency & entertainment company, please hire her more often! Goodluck unnie lim ji yeon

malcolm Jan 27 2017 2:19 pm I saw her as the second female lead in High Society and she totally stole that drama from Uee....i dont think ive ever watched a drama where the second male/female leads were so interesting..

Anita Nov 07 2016 9:51 pm She's soooo beautiful....

Nicey Oct 18 2016 9:08 am She's 25 y.o., she's not young, she can do mature roles like in Treacherous, nothing is wrong, most important is she can act. Good luck!

Favour Michael Sep 05 2016 2:44 am you've been doing so well lately, keep up with the good work.

John Smith Aug 09 2016 4:32 am I can't believe what she have done in "The Treacherous" when she is only 1 year older than me..it really blown me away and makes me think that korean are seriously into these "kind" of movie nowadays..but anyway..I love her..

El Abdul Jul 29 2016 7:51 am Really love her and her acting, fell for her in jackpot.. Among my fav korean actresses. Keep it up.. El Abdul

Emmanuel Jul 16 2016 12:52 pm Jackpot is the second drama I have watched with her being and she is good like real good actress. she is now part of my favorite actresses in Korea dramas.

Ihatemonday Jun 24 2016 11:03 am First saw her on obsessed. Then like her character in high society and I think she is very beautiful. I hope to see her more on dramas and movies. Ji yeon saranghae!!!

zerah May 29 2016 6:31 am my heart, girl! new records in bad comments on Jackpot! :)))

ehmjheisehm May 09 2016 4:01 am In the movie Obsessed, she's extremely sexy. I thought that will be all there is to her character. But towards the end i saw how deep her talents on showing emotions.

Rui Apr 26 2016 8:26 am she have androgyny face, she is beautiful & she can look masculine too for her role. About expressionless, no, she can act, that's just cause the script.

Melissa Apr 21 2016 8:13 am GREAT JOB!!!! AMAZING RESUME I love your acting on High Society, very good chemistry with Hyung Sik!! You acted better than the main actress!! To think that your portfolio was still this limited... awesome work sista ^,^

Rae Apr 04 2016 10:48 am I really like her role in High Society. I just found out that she's in a drama with JGS. Looking forward to seeing her more on dramas. So adorable how she and Hyung-Sik worked as the second love team in HS! :D

Licorice Mar 26 2016 12:33 am And....when haters complaining about Jin Se-yeon getting the leads here and there after couple years being supporting roles even became replacements, people seem to forgot about Ji-yeon who got her first lead role on her acting debut. Seriously?

No, l don't hate Ji-yeon, in fact l like her. She's fierce and beautiful, her acting is good. Watched her acting in The Treacherous and HS. l don't know if l will watch Jackpot or not, since l don't like the male leads, but she looks fierce and tough, my kinda girl.

Sia Jan 31 2016 5:01 am Okay her name seriously rises so quick and she was also been offered quite a number of high-scaled movies&dramas tho being debuted only 2 years ago.. Well she really is a good actress and beautiful on top of it all.. Not all new actresses get such opportunities as her..

Rodell Jan 21 2016 11:31 pm Lim Ji Yeon is very pretty. I think she did a very good job playing the lead role in The Treacherous. She is just very likable. It's like, even if she will probably not speak in a movie - she will still look "good" in it. I hope she will have more projects in the future.

Emily Dec 06 2015 11:31 am Lim Ji Yeon is a rising start. She portrayed her role in HS perfectly. Stole my heart completely together with Park Hyung Sik. Love Love this couple ! Awesome performance. I will look forward to both upcoming work.

Sansan Nov 29 2015 3:51 pm The fact that i clicked her profile proves myself that her story at HS is more interesting than YoonHa-JoonGi. Must admit this actress' ability.

consuelo de luna Sep 17 2015 5:25 pm pretty & did good in HS movie.

ana Aug 17 2015 2:54 am Well i think lim ji yeon did a great job in high society... she stole my heart in the way she delivers her acting for that certain role... for me she and hyung sik did steal the spotlight from the leads... i became more interested in their story than the other couple...My opinion only... i think she's going to be a well known actress a couple of years from now...

DramaQueen Aug 12 2015 9:50 am No matter what anyone says , the girl is an amazing actress .

Serene Aug 10 2015 7:24 am Lim Jiyeon is a great actress overall therefore you cannot judge her on only one movie. Actress' career has ups and downs. As you all know she acts very well in the Treacherous and High Society. Let's just anticipate on her next movie or drama series! Hwighting Lim JiYeon!

BingoMambo Aug 04 2015 11:58 am Well,she's already 25y old,and brave to have adult scene on surprising big k movie,with big actors,thats pro.. ,so whats wrong with that,as long as she want too,still salute.

Jeff Jul 26 2015 8:05 am I've watched hundreds of Korean Dramas and I'm a big fan of them. I don't know if you actually read these comments or not but.... I think you are a good actress I'm really surprised by the other comments here, be strong and I'm patiently waiting for your next drama or movie.

Mia Jul 24 2015 7:25 pm I think UEE is the lead, obviously!

KdramaA Jul 18 2015 12:50 pm Very great actress!!

KoreanJGirl Jul 13 2015 7:28 pm Is she the lead actress in High Society or UEE ??

Greenluvs Jul 12 2015 2:12 am I think she's doing a great job in"High Society" and look forward to seeing more of her in dramas. I don't get the comparisons to Song Ji Hyo. Song Ji Hyo shines in her own light, and doesn't need other actresses to be put down in order to look good.

Badran Jun 29 2015 2:21 am I love your acting mostly with changsoo I hope u make a lot of dramas love you

aiden Jun 27 2015 9:27 am I like her acting.. tbh when i watch this drama i surely wait for jiyi and chansoo (if I'm not mistaken) scene.. their love hate relationship.. this is just my opinion

Maria Jun 27 2015 9:25 am She look like taeyeon to me

angelusblanc Jun 18 2015 5:22 pm is it me, or does she look like Kim Hee-Jung only twenty years younger?

Yoona Jun 13 2015 1:21 pm I was wondering why she always in the scene if she is the bestfriend of the lead character or UEE. I never thought she is the main character of the drama.... Its not just she is not good actor, it felt so weirds and why the director offer her a role if she is not good. It just i'd likes to see Song Ji Hyo, Lee Yoo Bi, Kong Su Hee and Seo Ye Ji but they are not a supporting role at all to be in villain role.. It was perfect in the drama if one of them to be villain role and act with UEE....

fuzzyfeelings Jun 10 2015 11:30 am I think she kinda looks like Yoona from SNSD, but with less polished facial features. Watch her in High Society and you will know what I mean.

alex Jun 10 2015 2:15 am She was ok at end of episode 2. She still have some way to go as a lead. She could be ideal villain role. She looks more fit for rich girl role than UEE. Uee more like working girl type.

Patrick Jun 04 2015 10:02 am I watched her in Obsessed.. Leave aside the explicit scenes,she really did potray her character very well and in fact she looks like a 30-year-old lady in that movie.. She's just so mature-looking.. Looking forward to watching High Society next week.. I see you as an actress with this huge potential inside:)

aina Mar 08 2015 7:44 am its a good thing that she turned down the offer for kill me healme.. i wouldnt have known her if she had. anyways, having hwang jung eum and ji sung in the drama is the best choice!

mira Feb 11 2015 6:17 am I am glad she refused the role in Kill Me, Heal Me never even heard of her until I read the news and I am happy they gave the role to one amazing actress! I love Hwang Jung Eum!

Sora Dec 21 2014 8:50 am She's offered the role but turned it down. Now Hwang Jung Eum has been offered the lead female role for the drama pairing together with Ji Sung as the lead. I can't wait to watch Kill Me, Heal Me!

Shaw Dec 19 2014 3:36 pm I have watched the movie 'Obsessed'...and her acting was very convincing...and looking at the awards she has received..I believe needless to say, the experts also agreed that she is a good actress..hope it answers your question Hopes DD...:-)

HopesDD Nov 28 2014 5:41 am Is she a good actress? She's offered the lead role in "Kill me, Heal me" I hope she's good.
