'Roll 1' More than Song Hye-kyo and Kim Tae-hee... Lim Ji-yeon's overwhelming presence

The momentum of Genie TV's original drama 'House with a Yard' (hereinafter 'House with a Yard') is unusual. And at the center is actress Lim Ji-yeon. Following Netflix's 'The Glory' and 'The House in the Courtyard', his momentum surpasses the presence of the 'Roll 1' actor with overwhelming enthusiasm.

'The Courtyard House' continues to rise in viewer ratings and topicality through word of mouth. The 4th episode of 'Madangjip', which aired on the 27th, recorded a nationwide viewership rating of 2.6% and exceeded the highest viewership rating of 4%. This is the 3rd highest ENA drama ever. 1st place goes to 'Strange Lawyer Woo Young-woo', 2nd place goes to 'Good Job', considering that 'Good Job' was influenced by the follow-up to 'Woo Young-woo', it is certain that 'The Courtyard House' is a filial work following 'Woo Young-woo'. .

This has also been proven by topicality. In the topical TV-OTT drama category for the 4th week of June announced by Good Data Corporation's Fundex, 'Yard House' ranked 3rd in the drama category. 1st and 2nd place, 'King the Land' and 'Ghost' are all works with audience ratings approaching 10%, and the meaning of the 3rd place with 'The Courtyard House' is even more special.

Lim Ji-yeon and Kim Tae-hee were also named in the topic of the performers. What stands out is that Lim Ji-yeon ranks higher than Kim Tae-hee. The scene where Sang-eun (played by Lim Ji-yeon) eats jajangmyeon in episode 2 of 'Madangjip' became a hot topic in terms of viewers' reactions. After the broadcast, even modifiers such as 'Lim Ji-yeon-sik' are being talked about among netizens over this scene.

Like this, Lim Ji-yeon's presence in 'The Courtyard House' goes beyond the weight of her role. In episode 3, from the scene where she eats an apple while wearing mourning clothes to the scene where she meets Kim Tae-hee and sadly says, "Your husband killed my husband," the character's emotions are delicately expressed, causing goosebumps and admiration at the same time.

Previously, Lim Ji-yeon challenged herself to the first villain in her life in "The Glory" and drew favorable reviews. Taking on the role of Park Yeon-jin, a weather forecaster and the ringleader of bullying Moon Dong-eun (played by Song Hye-kyo) at school, Park Yeon-jin, from her facial expression to her gestures, aroused the anger of the viewers. Some say that Lim Ji-yeon is the biggest beneficiary of 'The Glory'. As a result, at the 59th Baeksang Arts Awards, Lim Ji-yeon won the best supporting actress award in the TV category, beating out the prominent candidates.

Lim Ji-yeon has established herself as a 'trustworthy' actress, but it wasn't long before her presence shone. When he was a rookie, he drew attention for his exposed acting in the films 'Human Addiction' and 'The Treacherous', but he was criticized for his acting skills. After that, he appeared in 'High Society', 'Blow Breeze', and 'Welcome 2 Life', but he did not show the same acting ability as he does now.

Lim Ji-yeon, who has gained wings with 'The Glory', is unstoppable. Lim Ji-yeon, who has gone beyond being a mainstream actress and has been reborn as a box office actress, is busy without a break even after 'Yard House'. Appearing in SBS 'National Death Penalty Vote' scheduled to be aired in the second half of the year, and appearing in the historical drama 'The Tale of Mrs. Ok' is also being proposed and reviewed. Lim Ji-yeon, who has been recognized for her acting skills, is also raising expectations.
