She shared, "He’s been watching the drama consistently. His feedback isn’t drastically different, but he cheers me on a lot. He knows how much I love The Tale of Lady Ok, and he’s been very supportive. We rely on each other a lot and always wish for each other’s health and happiness."

Fans couldn’t help but admire their sweet bond, especially as Lee Do Hyun has been cheering her on from afar. It’s clear that their relationship is built on mutual respect and support, with both actors finding strength in each other’s presence.

With The Tale of Lady Ok wrapping up, Lim Ji Yeon is already looking ahead, hoping for more opportunities to dive into historical dramas and continue to grow as an actress.
