In the drama, Lee Jung-eun is the Woma from Gageo who helps Jeong Yak-jeon to exile and shows perfect daily life performance.

Mrs. Gageo, who gives Jeong Yak-jeon a place to live without anything in return, seems shy in front of Jeong Yak-jeon, but not only does she not refrain from saying what's on her mind, but she sometimes throws a note beyond the perspective of the times, never boring Jeong Yak-jeon. Her warm personality and honest charm give the movie a boost, further enhancing her charm.

Lee Jung-eun described "The Book of Fish" as a movie that asks questions about what kind of indicators of life people in the present era should live with regard to "The Book of Fish". Lee Jung-eun's efforts in visiting Mokpo and Sinan areas to learn to speak in the Jeolla-do dialect and to learn how to trim fish directly from experts, are expected to reach the audience with sincerity.

On the other hand, in "Law School", Lee Jung-eun is dressed as an elite professor and gives off intellectual charisma. "Law School" is a campus mystery drama that unfolds as Korea's most prestigious law school professors and students get involved in unprecedented events. Lee Jung-eun, turns into Kim Eun-sook, a judge-turned-civil law professor and head of the Korea National University Regal Clinic Center.

She is a career woman with unique and warm humanity. Lee Jung-eun pulls off a graceful hairstyle and a neat suit. Eun-sook, who is known as the master of mediation in prosecution, is also called the queen of communication who can compromise with everyone in law school. She is a one-of-a-kind teacher who makes assumptions and gives wise solutions based on students' worries.

Since Lee Jung-eun's existence gives credibility, viewers are expected to be fascinated, persuaded, and drenched with every single word Kim Eun-sook says. Lee Jung-eun, who has not lost her homely appearance even after the mega-hit film "Parasite", is excited about what kind of beauty she might have melt into this time.

An official said, "When the "The Book of Fish" stills were first released, the synchronization rate was so surprising. "Law School" presents a professor character that is bound to exist in any kind of university. Lee Jung-eun's strength is that she sucks characters in and out like a sponge", he said. "Lee Jung-eun's presence definitely gives the work a lot of confidence".
