2. The Royal Gambler

Lim Ji Yeon has been a part of many heavy, realist dramas, but she has also rocked the hanbok (a Korean traditional dress) and taken part in the historical drama The Royal Gambler alongside actor Yeo Jin Goo. She plays the role of Dam Seo who wants to seek revenge on the king.
