Actress Choi Gyu-ri has touched viewers with her realistic advice, leaving a profound impact. Previously cast in Disney+'s 'Knockoff,' which reportedly had a production budget of 60 billion won, the project was indefinitely halted in April last year following controversies surrounding Kim Soo-hyun's personal life.

Choi Gyu-ri is currently starring in tvN's 'I'll Give You the Universe' as Baek Se-yeon, a member of the BS Food PR team, playing the role of a 'problem solver' who maintains balance in the storyline.

In the episode aired on the 26th of last month, Se-yeon's problem-solving skills shone brightly. She stood by Woo Hyun-jin (played by Roh Jeong-eui), who was confused after receiving confessions from two men, offering realistic advice to soothe her heart.

Se-yeon reassured the anxious Hyun-jin by saying, "It's not like they need an answer right away, so take your time and decide after meeting them." She added, "Just wait a bit. Sometimes, the heart knows the important answers before the mind does," leaving a lasting impression. This advice was enough to guide not only Hyun-jin, who was lost in complex emotions, but also viewers with similar dilemmas to listen to their hearts.

Choi Gyu-ri seamlessly embodies the character of Se-yeon, who offers deep resonance with her timely words while understanding Hyun-jin's emotions with care. Her understated and natural acting enhances the authenticity of the character, drawing attention every time she appears. Anticipation is high for Choi Gyu-ri's future performances.

'I'll Give You the Universe' airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:40 PM on tvN.
