To secure investment for 'Jealousy is My Strength,' Hanna proactively approached Kim Nak-soo (played by Ryu Seung-ryong), the father of Kim Su-gyeom, showcasing her assertive charm while explaining future business items. Although she had a brief conflict with Su-gyeom after he became CEO in the previous episode, they eventually reconciled, strengthening their partnership and fully overcoming the crisis.

Lee Jin-i filled the drama with her assertive charm. Her clear, vibrant eyes and clear pronunciation immediately demonstrated Hanna's independent and confident personality as she unhesitatingly persuaded future investors. Her steady delivery also heightened expectations for the future of 'Jealousy is My Strength' that Hanna aims to build.

Furthermore, Lee Jin-i vibrantly portrayed Hanna's resilient character, who doesn't give up even in the face of despair and hardship, making viewers root for the success of the business.

Lee Jin-i, the daughter of actress Hwang Shin-hye, debuted as a model and has been actively working as an actress. She has appeared in dramas such as 'Mystery Newbie,' 'The History of Walking Upright,' and 'Mental Coach Jegal-gil,' as well as the movie 'Your Girlfriend' and the American TV series 'Treadstone.'

Meanwhile, as the drama 'Mr. Kim's Story' garners interest in how 'Jealousy is My Strength' will grow after overcoming its crisis, it airs on JTBC on Saturdays at 10:40 PM and Sundays at 10:30 PM.
