Park Ji-hyun Showcases Her Presence with a Special Appearance in 'I'll Give You the Universe'... Role of the Universe's Mother

Actress Park Ji-hyun enriched the drama with her exceptional presence.

On the 4th, Park Ji-hyun made a special appearance in the tvN show 〈I'll Give You the Universe〉, opening the work. 〈I'll Give You the Universe〉 is a chaotic cohabitation romance that unfolds when a couple, who are entangled from their first meeting, suddenly find themselves raising their 20-month-old nephew 'Universe'.

The character 'Woo Hyun-joo', played by Park Ji-hyun, is the older sister of Hyun-jin (No Jung-ui) and the mother of Universe (Park Yu-ho). She is a warm character who has always prioritized her younger sibling, filling the void left by their parents during their childhood. With overflowing love, Hyun-joo has always been a strong support for Hyun-jin, capturing attention with their special sisterly bond.

In the midst of this, Hyun-joo intended to postpone her marriage until Hyun-jin settled down, but due to Hyun-jin's wish for her sister to live for herself, she ended up marrying Woo-jin (Ha Joon). However, after three years of Hyun-joo's marriage, Hyun-jin felt stagnant and her self-esteem lowered, and the concerned words and actions from Hyun-joo unintentionally led to deep feelings of self-doubt. Ultimately, during a quarrel with Hyun-jin, Hyun-joo heard hurtful words, and before they could mend their relationship, she tragically passed away in a car accident, leading to a heartbreaking farewell.

In this way, Park Ji-hyun conveyed the character's emotions entirely through her unique delicate acting and dialogue delivery. In particular, her eyes, shaken by Hyun-jin's sharp words, evoked sympathy from viewers, while her kindness in always thinking of her younger sibling brought a tearful resonance. Additionally, the charming back-and-forth between No Jung-ui and her added fun to their sisterly chemistry.

Meanwhile, starting 2026 with a special appearance in 〈I'll Give You the Universe〉, Park Ji-hyun is set to continue her busy schedule with the film 〈Wild Thing〉, 〈Autograph〉, and the drama 〈Tomorrow, I Go to Work!〉.
