Actress Lee Hye-ri, formerly of the group Girl's Day, shared her thoughts on the conclusion of the drama "Dream for You."

In the 12th-episode Monday-Tuesday drama "Dream for You," which concluded on the 18th on ENA, Lee Hye-ri delivered a compelling performance as Joo Yi-jae, a livelihood reporter who had lost sight of her dreams. She sensitively portrayed Yi-jae's journey to rediscover her long-forgotten dream of becoming a film director, leaving a deep impression on viewers. Within the drama, Lee Hye-ri demonstrated her acting prowess once again in the romance-comedy genre by skillfully navigating time jumps from high school to her 30s and conveying intricate emotional layers.

In the final episode, episode 12, Joo Yi-jae, after completing filming of her debut work "Gyeongseong Love Song," embarks on a journey abroad to grow into an even greater director. Years later, Yi-jae wins the New Director Award at a film festival with her solo-directed film and reunites with her first love, Woo Soobin (played by Hwang In-yup), leading to a happy ending.

At the beginning of the drama, Lee Hye-ri captivated viewers with her versatile acting that seamlessly shifted between high school and her 30s. As the teenage Joo Yi-jae, she portrayed an icon of first love with sparkling eyes full of dreams and a radiant smile. After transitioning to her 30s, she depicted the weary reality of a working adult burdened by life's weight, earning widespread empathy from audiences.

Lee Hye-ri also meticulously built the relationship between Joo Yi-jae and her first love, Woo Soobin. From their teenage years when they shared dreams together to the cold attitude immediately after their reunion, and through the process of becoming a source of comfort for each other's pain over time, she conveyed these nuances with delicate acting, adding credibility to the couple's romance.

Lee Hye-ri stated, "I am grateful to all the viewers who have loved 'Dream for You' thus far. I was also happy to share in Yi-jae's journey of finding her dreams. As the final filming approached, this work left me with an overwhelming sense of regret. I sincerely hope that 'Dream for You,' which is so precious to me, remains a drama that viewers will remember fondly and occasionally want to revisit."

Meanwhile, Lee Hye-ri is set to serve as MC in Disney's new original OTT variety show "Style Wars," scheduled for release in the second half of this year.
