CBC News

Actress Lee Ji-min, currently starring in the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama "To You," is captivating viewers with her honest and bold direct romance.

In episodes 7 and 8, which aired on the 3rd and 4th, Lee Ji-min delivered a standout performance as Choi Sa-rang. In particular, after realizing her feelings for Seo In-wook (played by Lee Sang-yeop), she heightened the tension by alternating between going straight for him and engaging in a push-and-pull dynamic.

Choi Sa-rang showed subtle emotional changes, such as watching Seo In-wook from the control room of the dating program's filming set and sending him a sweet text during his break, asking, "Is something wrong? You look like you're having a hard time." The immersion deepened in a scene where the two made eye contact through the camera, and she smiled with a mix of relief and fluster.

Notably, realistic psychological portrayals stood out when she burned with jealousy while watching Seo In-wook enjoy a spa date with another female participant and when she checked whether he had any remaining date time. Lee Ji-min delightfully portrayed Choi Sa-rang's growing jealousy, maximizing the character's charm.

Above all, she drew keen attention in a scene where her wavering emotions turned into certainty. She called Seo In-wook out, brought up the fact that they had spent their second night together, and threw a direct pitch, asking, "What could this mean?" Even when Seo In-wook considered leaving the program, she dissuaded him by saying, "Don't do it," while adding, "Our third time will be after this filming is over," showcasing a cool yet charismatic side that never let go of the reins.

Meanwhile, "To You" airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10 p.m. on ENA, and is also available for streaming on KT Genie TV and TVING.
