Kim Ji-yeon Shines in Behind-the-Scenes Photos from SBS Fantasy Drama ‘The Forbidden Marriage’

Rising K-drama actress Kim Ji-yeon, widely known for her stellar performances, is gaining attention yet again with her new role in SBS’s Friday-Saturday fantasy drama ‘The Forbidden Marriage’ (귀궁). On May 25, her agency, King Kong by Starship, released a series of behind-the-scenes photos capturing the actress’s passionate energy on set.

In the newly revealed photos, Kim beams with a cheerful smile, effortlessly portraying her bright and positive energy. She shares joyful moments with her fellow cast members, creating a lighthearted vibe during filming that resonated both on and off camera.

Kim plays the role of Yeori, the gifted granddaughter of a renowned Korean shaman and a master artisan of eye charms (known as An-gyeong). In one of the photos, she is shown deeply immersed in her role, eyes glowing with focus and intensity as she reviews scenes beside director Yoon Sung-sik. Reports reveal that Kim frequently monitored her performances closely and actively participated in in-depth discussions to heighten each scene’s emotional depth and fantasy elements.

This dedication is already paying off. Since the first episode aired, Kim Ji-yeon has captivated audiences with her dynamic portrayal of Yeori, unraveling character layers that range from innocent childhood memories with Yoon Kap (played by Yook Sung-jae) to a tense, almost antagonistic chemistry with Kang Cheol-i, the Imoogi character played by Kim Young-kwang. Her performance has drawn strong viewer engagement and driven an increase in ratings and social media buzz.

As the narrative heats up with Yeori set to confront ancient enemies known as the Palcheok Spirits, fans are eagerly anticipating what’s next. With Kim Ji-yeon’s infectious charisma and detailed acting, expectations for future episodes remain sky-high.

Episode 3 of ‘The Forbidden Marriage’ airs on SBS at 9:55 PM on May 25, featuring Kim Ji-yeon alongside co-stars Yook Sung-jae and Kim Ji-hoon.
