It’s possible that I could be doing more things than I am now; it’s something you just don’t know,” the actress concluded.When asked about her future plans, the actress said, “I’ve been working non-stop for a while,” she revealed.“I’m going to take some time now to take a bit of a break,” said Jun Ji-hyun.

I tried to think of the really bad things on the news when I was acting.”She also revealed a little bit about her personal life and commented on her marriage, “I think I became a step more mature as a woman through marriage.

It’s very different from my previous characters, but I think the character suits me well.”“Right now, acting feels more fun. I feel acting is a job that will get better the more you do it.
