Gangnam B-Side's Ji Chang Wook reacts to being called the 'Son of Disney+'
Im Ji Yeon takes on yet another sensational acting shift through the Genie TV original drama Lies Hidden in My Garden.
Based on a bestselling novel, Genie TV's Lies Hidden in My Garden is a suspenseful thriller that tells the story of two women who meet and find their lives changing due to the strange smell emanating from the backyard.
Among the released stills, Im Ji Yeon's portrayal of the protagonist Sang Eun is of keen interest. In the role of a domestic violence victim yearning to escape from her wretched reality, Im Ji Yeon will be depicting the character's intense desire for liberation through her powerful performance.
In the revealed stills, the actress masterfully portrays the heart-wrenching circumstances of a woman trapped in domestic violence. Her dishevelled hair and desperate eyes give a glimpse of the hell she is living in, evoking a sense of sympathy. Furthermore, the shot of her standing in front of a bathroom mirror in a sleeveless outfit show the deep blue bruises on her arms, kindling pity. Also, the bulging belly, contrasting with her slender figure, hints at Sang Eun's pregnancy.
The dramatic shift in Im Ji Yeon's performance, from a "school violence perpetrator" (The Glory) to a "domestic violence victim," proves the actress's unparalleled versatility, which also won her the Best Supporting Actress award in the TV category at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards for her performance in The Glory.
Additionally, with Im Ji Yeon's empty gaze, one can sense her unsettling desires and the bemusing darkness surrounding her. The talented actress's stills alone build anticipation for her stirring performance in Lies Hidden in My Garden.
Lies Hidden in My Garden will premiere on June 19.
