Lee played the role of Kang Bang-geul, the bold and spirited youngest daughter of the Choi Sung Group, in the series that concluded on July 5. Her versatile emotional performance was a driving force behind the drama's success.
Kang Bang-geul is a character defined by her unwavering sense of justice and inner strength, even in the face of crisis. Lee brought the character to life with a nuanced performance, balancing the show's exhilarating plot twists with heartwarming moments.
The dramatic reunion with her father, Kang Yong-ho (played by Son Hyun-joo), in the final episode was particularly moving, leaving many viewers in tears. Lee perfectly captured the bittersweet moment as the father and daughter finally cleared up long-standing misunderstandings, elevating the emotional intensity of the scene with her restrained, tearful acting.
The finale provided a satisfying conclusion as her character successfully established herself as the team leader of the Choi Sung Group's strategic planning department and enjoyed a sweet, romantic ending with Hwang Joon-hyun (played by Lee Jun-young). Her ability to seamlessly weave together themes of growth, family love, and romance led to widespread praise, with many noting that Kang Bang-geul was a role only Lee Joo-myoung could have pulled off.
Reflecting on the end of the series, Lee said, "I was truly happy to work with such incredible senior actors, the director, the writer, and all the staff members. Every moment we spent brainstorming and creating this together will remain a precious experience that I will remember for a long time."
She added, "I am so grateful and happy that the viewers felt the sincerity and effort we poured into this project and showed us so much love. I think I will also remember Bang-geul's courage and resilience for a long time. I sincerely thank all the viewers who loved Kang Bang-geul and supported 'Reborn Rookie'. I look forward to greeting you again with new projects in the future."
