Lim Ji Yeon’s ‘Lies Hidden In My Garden’ Worries Viewers— Here’s Why

Earlier this 2023, Lim Ji Yeon became the most talked about star in the Hallyu scene after her unrivaled villainous performance in the smash hit Netflix drama "The Glory."

This time, she once again stirred buzz among viewers with her comeback drama "Lies In My Garden" for a very different reason. Read to know more about what happened.

Lim Ji Yeon's 'Lies Hidden In My Garden' Debut Gains Buzz

After debuting with Channel ENA's "Lies Hidden In My Garden," Lim Ji Yeon arouses worry from the audience.

During its pilot week, viewers weren't able to take their eyes off the actress who transformed into a five-month pregnant battered housewife.

Lim Ji Yeon says goodbye to her grandiose wardrobe and wealthy status from her character in "The Glory," who was loved and hated by the avid viewers of the Netflix series.

In "Lies Hidden In My Garden," the actress offers a completely different image of a depressed housewife who lives in extreme poverty. Though it's not a character she often plays, Lim Ji Yeon is able to give life to the role, showcasing her immersive acting.

Lim Ji Yeon's rugged appearance coupled with extremely basic clothes and undone hair matched well with her character, which was found "haunting" by the audiences.

In addition, the actress boasted her clear skin in the first two episodes of the work as she wore her bare face to perfect her destitute role.

While viewers were in awe with the actress' synchronization skills, some couldn't help but worry about Lim Ji Yeon's health.

Lim Ji Yeon's Health Raises Concerns

In "Lies Hidden In My Garden," Lim Ji Yeon is one of the main characters in the show opposite Kim Tae Hee. With the cameras focused on her character, viewers couldn't ignore Lim Ji Yeon's extremely skinny physique.

While the actress is naturally slim, she appears to be skinnier than she was when she starred in "The Glory," which only aired a few months prior to the premiere of "Lies Hidden In My Garden."

In one scene, Lim Ji Yeon takes her jacket off to show the injuries she has on her body. Her thin arms and collarbone were visible, almost looking fragile that evokes concerns about her health.

Since she portrays a role from a poor background, losing some weight was needed to showcase a much clearer depiction of her life.

However, the production unit reassures the viewers that Lim Ji Yeon didn't compromise her health for filming, and had just lost a good amount of weight for her role.
