Lee Ga Ryeong's 'Love (Ft. Marriage and Divorce)'
The actress made a debut in 2012 after landing the role in SBS drama "A Gentleman's Dignity."
However, her claim to fame in K-drama is the hit trilogy of "Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce)," where she took the role of 30-something Boo Hye Ryung.
In the drama, she used to work as an announcer and currently works as a radio DJ. Boo Hye Ryoung is married to Pan Sa Hyun, played by Kang Shin Hyo. Despite having a stable career and her husband working as a judge, they didn't want to have children just yet.
Unfortunately, this choice causes friction between the couple.
In 2021, ahead of the premiere of "Love (Ft. Marriage and Divorce)" season 1, Lee Ga Ryeong said that she was "happy to live for a while as the smoky-eyed Boo Hye Ryung."
For three seasons, she reprised her role and delivered a stellar performance as the fearless wife.
