“Lies Hidden in My Garden” Lim Ji Yeon, “Ate 4 jjajangmyeon servings with large-sized tangsuyuk & rice soup on the same day”
Genie TV’s original drama “Lies Hidden in My Garden” is garnering keen interest from viewers and creating hot topics every day with its dense narrative with intense mystery, the beautiful yet chilling cinematography presented by director Jung Ji Hyun, and the excellent acting performances of the actors. After airing episode 4 on June 27th, “Lies Hidden in My Garden” achieved its highest viewer rating of 3.0% in the Seoul area.
One of the key factors behind the rising popularity of “Lies Hidden in My Garden” is said to be the passionate acting of actress Lim Ji Yeon, who portrays Chu Sang Eun. Enduring habitual domestic violence and hardships due to her husband Kim Yoon Bum (Choi Jae Rim), Chu Sang Eun eventually kills her husband to get away from her hellish reality. Moreover, she takes risky steps to conceal her crime by framing Park Jae Ho (Kim Sung Ho), who threatened her husband, as the culprit and demanding money.
Lim Ji Yeon is showcasing her acting spectrum without hesitation through her portrayal of the intense character Chu Sang Eun. Viewers poured compliments for her detailed acting, saying “I opened my eyes widely when it came to her scenes”, “I was really immersed in the drama”, etc. In particular, Lim Ji Yeon’s eating moments have been very viral. The scene where she ate a set of jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork) after receiving the news of her husband’s death became trending after the broadcast, announcing the birth of a legendary mukbang comparable to Ha Jung Woo’s seaweed eating scene. From finishing a big bowl of rice soup after her husband’s funeral and chewing an apple while recalling the day she killed her husband, every time Lim Ji Yeon eats something, numerous related articles were posted on social media.
Above all, Lim Ji Yeon’s eating scenes received such explosive reactions not only because she eats so deliciously but also thanks to the actress’s ability to deliver the character’s narratives and emotional lines behind such eating actions.
Regarding her interpretation of the eating scenes, Lim Ji Yeon explained, “Until her husband’s death, Sang Eun had no appetite and did not even know the joy of eating. I wanted to portray the false appetite that arises from the emptiness and liberation of such a woman”. It was revealed that Lim Ji Yeon actually finished four servings of jjajangmyeon with extra toppings and a large-sized tangsuyuk during the actual filming of the jjajangmyeon scene. Moreover, she also managed to digest a bowl of rice soup on the same day of the jjajangmyeon scene and successfully conveyed the hardships of Chu Sang Eun with her realistic acting.
Meanwhile, “Lies Hidden in My Garden” is a suspense thriller about two women with completely different lives meeting each other due to a suspicious smell in the backyard. Episode 5 of “Lies Hidden in My Garden” will be available on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA at 10 p.m. on July 3rd.
