Actor Lee Ji-hyun showcased a spine-chilling acting transformation in "When Life Gives You Tangerines."
Lee Ji-hyun gave a stellar performance as 'Hyeon-ja' in the 10th episode of the Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines" (written by Lim Sang-chun, directed by Kim Won-seok), which was released on the 21st, gripping viewers with the role of a kidnapper trying to sell young Ae-sun (Kim Tae-yeon).
The Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines" illustrates the adventurous life of a 'feisty rebel' Ae-sun (played by IU) and 'clumsy ironman' Gwan-sik (played by Park Bo-gum), who was born in Jeju, through the four seasons. It vividly depicts the lives from 1960, during the two protagonists' childhood, to the present year, 2025, showcasing a life that has been sunny and cloudy.
In the 10th episode of "When Life Gives You Tangerines," Lee Ji-hyun portrayed the kidnapper Hyeon-ja during a mystical and chilling ambiance, as she recalled the childhood of middle-aged Ae-sun (played by Moon So-ri). In a scene where she pretended to have injured her leg to persuade young Ae-sun to help her, she attempted to kidnap her by getting her into a truck with an accomplice, providing tension for the viewers. She created a chilling atmosphere with her meaningful praise and smile, saying, "You're really good-hearted and gentle, right? You listen well," followed by showing her villainous side in front of Gwang-rye (played by Yeom Hye-ran) when she remarked, "I like good-hearted and gentle kids. Last time, that one was perfect."
After performing on numerous theatrical stages, Lee Ji-hyun made a mark as a scene-stealer with her roles in tvN's "Thank You," ENA's "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," and KBS's "Wedding Battle." In each work, Lee Ji-hyun managed to capture the audience's attention with her powerful performances and left a strong impression once again with her acting transformation in "When Life Gives You Tangerines."
Meanwhile, the Netflix series "When Life Gives You Tangerines" is exclusively available on Netflix.
