Seo Ji Hye, who gained public recognition through Channel A's dating reality show 'Heart Signal' Season 1 in 2017, is now more widely known as an actress than as a 'Heart Signal alumna'.

Notably, she took on her first lead role in a terrestrial broadcast drama, 'Love All Play' (KBS2, 2022), portraying badminton player Lee Yu-min. In 2023, she received the KBS Drama Awards Best New Actress award for her compelling performance as Lee Soon-ae, a literary girl from the 1980s, in 'My Perfect Stranger' (KBS).

Bloggers recall Seo Ji Hye as the 'Lee Yeon-hee lookalike' who garnered overwhelming votes from male cast members on 'Heart Signal' due to her innocent smile. They now praise her as a 'reliable actress' who has grown significantly, attributing her success to her unique pure visuals, excellent character immersion, and humble, well-prepared personality. Her broad acting spectrum and diligence are highlighted as key factors in her achievements, raising anticipation for her future endeavors.
