Actress Yoo Yoo-jin made her first appearance in ‘Unknown Seoul’ and captured the attention of viewers.

In the drama, Park Ji-yoon appears as the high school classmate of the main character, Mi-ji(Park Bo-young).She seems friendly and affectionate on the outside, but she is a character that can be seen in real life as well, adjusting the distance in the relationship depending on the situation.

At the reunion with Miji after a long time, Jiyoon greets her brightly, saying, “How have you been?” but there is a subtle tension in her tone.When Miji asks, “How are you with Ho-soo(played by Park Jin-young)?” Jiyoon mentions her past relationship with Ho-soo, revealing the intimacy between the two, further stimulating curiosity about their relationship.

Ji-yoon, who ended up riding in a car alone with Mi-ji, subtly provokes Mi-ji’s feelings by saying, “The kid who was studying for the civil service exam lowered his gaze a lot,” and changes the subject by avoiding a clear answer to Mi-ji’s question, saying, “How is Mi-ji(= Mirae)?” , showing both composure and tension.

Later, Ji-yoon visits a restaurant for a company partnership project, and mistakes it for a place run by an unknown aunt, which causes conflict.In this scene, Yoo Yoo-jin once again strongly shows the character’s characteristically shameless and mean side through Ji-yoon’s attitude of going straight ahead without paying attention.

Yoo Yoo-jin expressed the complex personality of the character ‘Park Ji-yoon’ without exaggeration and with sincerity, vividly bringing to life the duality and realism of this character.Yoo Yoo-jin, who balanced out the anxiety and inner tension hidden behind her sophisticated fashion and easygoing attitude, is raising expectations on how she will unfold the emotional line of ‘Park Ji-yoon’ in the future.
