Actress Lim Ji-Yeon is making a comeback with her latest project. At a time when she's kicking off the peak of her career with "The Glory," it's a crucial moment as an actress.

On the 19th, Lim Ji-Yeon appeared as Chu Sang-Eun in the new GenieTV original drama 'House with a Yard,' which premiered its first episode. The drama is a suspense thriller about two women who lead completely different lives, meeting due to a suspicious smell coming from the backyard. Chu Sang-Eun, the character played by Lim Ji-Yeon, struggles to escape from the reality of domestic abuse she is enduring.

In this drama, Lim Ji-Yeon presented a new face quite different from her previous role, impressively portraying the inner world of a character feeling helpless and empty due to constant physical abuse. Her disheveled hair and near-bare face makeup highlighted the harsh reality her character faces. The popularity she gained from 'The Glory' has been well-received, despite the fact that filming for 'House with a Yard' actually began before 'The Glory' was released.

The character of Park Yeon-Jin that Lim Ji-Yeon played in 'The Glory' flaunts her unique confidence with dazzling outfits and makeup. She seamlessly delivered high-intensity performances episode after episode, her compelling portrayal of the character's emotional arc earning high praise from critics.

Looking back at Lim Ji-Yeon's filmography, her latest choice isn't merely adventurous. She's played a wide range of characters, including roles in 'No Longer Human' and 'Tazza,' which became widely shared across various social media platforms after 'The Glory'. Regardless of the genre, whether it's 'Money Heist', 'Rose Mansion', or 'Welcome 2 Life', she has smoothly taken on distinctive characters. While her acting skills have not always received critical acclaim, Lim Ji-Yeon has subtly maintained the balance in her work, slowly but surely making her presence felt. With 'The Glory,' she first detonated her acting potential, capturing the public's attention.

'House with a Yard' is quite a potent weapon in this respect. It's a thriller genre that Lim Ji-Yeon has mostly tackled in the past, and the original work's quality has also been acknowledged by the public. By transforming from a school bully in 'The Glory' to a victim of domestic abuse in 'House with a Yard', Lim Ji-Yeon proved her worth as an actress.

Forgetting the image of a previous project in just three months isn't easy, especially when the previous work enjoyed syndromic popularity, the difficulty level is heightened. In this regard, expectations are high for whether Im Ji-Yeon can continue the impact of 'The Glory'.
