@Califfey, tks for sending me PM of the most wanted princess's pic  .  She's so cute with the little face, like you said she looks like her dad than her mom.My curiosity is satisfied now. Wonder how she looks like now (she's 9 years old, right?)
 ferlycious, did you receive PM from our lovely Califfey? keep the promise, ok?
BTW, Alcheon is so handsome and manly :x in that pic (can't remember his real name). I'm one of few people in the world that ship for Aldoek couple (Alcheon-Doek man). So impressive with his loyalty and dedication to Her Majesty in the very end, he's my type :x

Hi guys,I saw it in fb: ‎[update] Horse Doctor (마의) is listed in Lee Yo Won's Profile of MBC Channel Web. Lee Yo Won will be leader of Horse Doctor. 

MBC Link: http://cue.imbc.com/TotalSearch.aspx?query=%EC%9D%B4%EC%9A%94%EC%9B%90&PeoCode=A0601002578#

Can I consider that's our Queen's confirmation??? 8-} Please say yes.
Oh, my hope jumps to 99,99999% now, bravoooooo 

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Hi ferlycious, welcome to the Queen's house   .Feel free to drop by anytime and post anything you want to share us about our lovely LYW.Surely, LYW's fans here will be glad to see your posts.Almost people in this thread were caught by LYW in Queen Seon Doek (like you). I got hooked by the cute and enthusiastic doctor in Surgeon Bong Dal Hee, and then Queen Seon Doek has stolen my soul and haunted me during last 5 months. Another hit, 49 Days, I watched non-stop in more than 1 days... (that's my own record).To know more about the Queen's acting biography and personality, u can read this thread from page 1, that's what I'm doing and really enjoy it. Don't be scared of the number of pages. I'm sure you will know more and more about her and love, adore her more... (so many "more"). And LYW's fans here have not only digging talent dedicated to Her Highness, but also great humour sense. I find it informative, hillarious, exciting and LOL reading this thread ).
About the little princess's pic, let's wait patiently for Ninimi or Califfey (or the others) showing up and beg them send PM to us, with the swear not posting anywhere.

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

@ninimi, @Califfey. May I see that little princess's pic too? send PM please, yep, promise not posting anywhere, just spread underground  ).
@ninimi,  so you already got married? LOL. My apologize, that's so surprised me. From what I see from your posts in this thread, u are the one having greatest humour sense here, and yep, such a young and naughty girl!!! Yeah, our forever young LYW really makes her fans young forever too O:-).Again, pardon me if this post make you get mad ^^, I better send PM but I'm supper lazy so, ...:\">
BTW, ninimi's update makes my hope jump to 60%, wish it will end up 100%.

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Hi girls,Early morning of early week and pouring rain... It turned to rainy season here, how about you guys' places?

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Same here, Ninimi & Nikachan, I'm really excited with her character in Legendary Punch / Legend of Fist (whatever it's called). If this movie bases on the webtoon, we will have chance to see her yelling, kicking or even hitting the others (never seen it before) . I took a quick look at this webtoon, just focused on the PD's scenes, realized that this PD seems to be strong outside but delicate inside, hope she doesn't suffer pain in the moive. Also, I have curiosity of Perfect Love too. From some stills, I think her character will depress me, but the movie story looks like detective one, really intersting!!! (Sherlock Holmes is my most favourite book's character :x).And if LYW joins Horse Doctor, it will become my most wanted drama this year.Seem that her Majesty has a busy year, same as her people here.
@Califfey, tks for your sharing. Huhmm, seeing some last pics, I really worry, her assistant won't do anything bad, will he??? oh, poor my nasty mind. If he dares to do something like this, surely, she will kill him.Yep, Califfey, LYW came to Viet Nam twice before: Tvn Love charity (she helped the boy) and Vietnam-Korea cultural exchange festival. The first time, seemed that it was a secret journey, but in the second time (2010), she came to the city where I'm living. Unfortunately, I didn't know her at that time (I have known her since November last year), yep, now still blame myself not knowing her earlier. Hope she will come VN again,so that I have opportunities to correct that mistake...I wish I could see her daughter's pic too, but as she's Shila's princess, too difficult to see her.Btw, have a great visit and vacation! ^^

[[Drama 2012/13] Horse Doctor 마의 馬醫 马医]

19 June Lee Yo Won will return Korean when she has answer

so long

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Glad to see not only me but there are some bodies keep hanging around here for any Yo Won’s  upcoming drama updates (it’s my countless question at present :|).

No update but I see this pic in DCinside:

So, her movie “perfect love/number” will be released this year and the other (legendary punch) will be next year. Then she will attend its premier and take some promotion actions. Quite busy if she also casts in The Horse Doctor (still unconfirmed). Well, at least we will see her appearance somewhere.

Likely to be cast??? Here we go again..LOL.. the question now is how long will LYW keep us on edge this time before she lets us know that she's in the drama officially.. maybe after she comes back from a shopping spray in SINGAPORE???.. hahaha! Just kidding everyone. Just remember the experience last time in 49 Days..LOL!  If you were here & were following this thread at that time you know how it was.. haha.. it was so funny. Thank you very much Phetbeo.

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Hi Ninimi, yep, I'm newcomer here.So, Horse Doctor drama is the project celeberating MBC's birthday? (I heard QSD is one kind like that). Then, it must be big project with great casts, big budget... and can't fail (like QSD).I will pray everyday that our Queen will accept MBC's offer and this is another hit of her (all her movies and dramas are hits indeed, at least with me).Yep, I'm so greedy, Her Majesty is really busy this year: 2 movies and 1 possibility of drama.

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

No updates about our LYW's new historical drama???Oh, I'm waiting everyday for her confirm to take the role in it or some official news from MBC. Wish next time I hang around here, there are some good news.

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Good morning from Viet Nam !!!I still can't believe our LYW will cast in a new drama this year, I thought she will come back with drama next year after one year from 49 Days.I hope she confirmed her role in this drama and there are some official news from MBC.Personally, I hope she come back with modern drama like Song Yi Kyung in 49 days but remember how QSD made my days during last 5 months, I feel really excited with her roles in this historical drama .
@rintintintin, so you are senior student now, yeah, good luck to you. As a senior student last year, I know how busy and hard-working you are now, otherwise, you will be stuck in your university one more year (how can I say such unlucky thing like that after saying good luck to you , but you need to predict everything even bad things, right?). And don't forget to enjoy your last year being a student and still don't feel the burden of finance. Less or more you will feel regret about your studying time when you start to work. That what I experience now .BTW, how about your Korean? your Korean master will help LYW's thread much when our Queen will join drama in next months, we're all waiting for you here (just teasing you). I really wish I can start to study Korean now, but unfortunately I can't. But I find that one of my friend is really master in Korean, I will beg her to translate some update news about our Majesty (the bad thing is she's not close with me, oh poor me).
@nikachan2008, About Missing in America Movie, is it about Viet Nam and somethings related to Viet Nam War (I guess)? yep, I'm Vietnamese but feel ashamed that I have watched a few films about Viet Nam LOL. I will try it this weekend coz it left you a deep impression like that.About LYW's digging team, yes, I know you are one of most active diggers here besides Minimi, Phetbeo, QSD... (pardon me, I can't list all your name in my post). I'm on the way to catch up everything you share here about our Queen. I read slowly and carefully this thread from page 1 (don't wanna to miss a thing ^^), and now I'm on page 11?, still have a long route ahead to catch current pages. I quite enjoy reading your comments, feeling, information about LYW. Let give me a chance to express my grateful to all of your hard work and effort of digging everything possible about her. The more I know her, the more I respect and admire her :x.

And nikachan, may I say something personal here. I think you and one of my best friends have many things similar (she’s from USA). Pardon me if I write something wrong about you. She’s a nice person, indeed. Usually, she acts and talk like a child (she’s over 30 though) but I can feel her traditional (old ^^) thought and take care of others so much. And yep, she’s talkative too (I mean it’s positive meaning) and have a great humorous sense. That why I always ask for her advice even though we are millions of kilometer far away. BTW, her life have something similar to our LYW (get married with one Korean guy), unfortunately she’s not lucky like our Queen. How lucky LYW Unnie is when she gets married with such kind of great person like MrPark!

Oh, I realize that I go so far, sorry. I think I become talkative person when knowing some people like you two.

Yeah, let hope we will get good news from LYW, ex: her confirm of drama comeback and some MBC's offical news

LYW fans are so greedy, never get enough from her ^^

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Soompi runs so fast, they made a thread of this drama already. Phetbeo posted it above, I post again, hope LYW's thread members visit there frequently to support our Queen:  http://forums.soompi.com/discussion/377920/drama-2012-upcoming-horse-doctor-%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%98-%E9%A6%AC%E9%86%AB-%E9%A9%AC%E5%8C%BB#latestAnd some information from that thread:

Hi phetbeo, thank so much for the update (I'm new here). Is it offical from MBC that Our Queen will cast in this drama? Did she confirm her role in this drama? I read one news that Actress Lee Da Hee was in talk to cast in this drama too (worry, worry).I wish someone here can translate the news from Nate, I use Google Translation but totally can't understand. Oh, I can't wait, can't wait... =P~And, I can't believe in my eyes? this drama has 60 eps??? (is it real?) will see our Majesty for a long time . I never wish for something better than that news, God heard me!!!Still can't believe. I think I will be sleepless tonight. 

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

I want to try posting pics here too, hope I succeed 
LYW Unnie looks so cute and navie is this gif :x when she talks to Jubang after Yusin won in Hwarang contest. She rarely smiles like that from the day she becomes princess and then Queen (supper cold outside but warm inside, I think).BTW, @MSDANNA, how can we post a clip link here and then can play it? In LYW's thread in my country, we write [utube]CODE[/utube], I wonder here is the same?

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Hi every one,
I'm in the office now and writing my comment during working time to get over my sleepy in the early morning (shamely admit that I'm not good employee LOL). Sound like that our Queen's thread is one kind of strong coffee ha?
Reading your comment about rain (Callifey and Rintintintin) makes me feel cool even though it's really hot here in a sunny day (I'm from Viet Nam). One of my favourite is riding in a pouring day (I really hate light rain, crazy person???). I read in fb (http://www.facebook.com/notes/saranghae-lee-yo-won/lee-yo-wons-favorite-things-_-/415426841812499) that our Majesty likes torrential rain too. Really happy that I have something same with LYW Unnie . I love snow too, but have seen it once in my life when I was in USA before.
@rintintintin, @Callifey about studying Korean, perhaps, I will try next year (studing Korean is not expensive here, I think), at this time I'm a little bit busy with my MBA study. I hope to hear good news from u (Korean master in 3 months like nikachan said LOL), your Korean master would be really useful in this thread especially when our Queen's new movie will be released in the end of this year (still pray for it). All of us will rely on you about LYW Unnie's update .
@nikachan2008, thanks for all of your information about LYW Unnie (especially her charactersitic and family...). It's not new with all of you here but it's quite new with me. It's my interest to search her news (old or updated). BTW, I don't meet same problems with you when posting here, can use emoticons, preview & edit my comments (check again ha).
@Califfey, thanks for your links of AFRIKA movie. I will try tonight (in Korean LOL). BTW, here is the link of the clip on it our lovely LYW said bidam always hit her legs under the table LOL, http://www.tudou.com/listplay/W_dIjW-S-xI/3C3FzDmC8Nc.html. Also, you can watch other BTS clips in this link: http://www.tudou.com/playlist/id7699155.html. Like you, I really enjoy all LYW's BTS & NG clip. It's really funny to see her laughing and cute actions off camera ). I wish to see all of her BTS clips, especially during casting QSD, most of links in YOUTUBE already died. *sigh*

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Nikachan, about AFRIKA, I search and find that  the film's title is an acronym for "Adoring Four Revolutionary Idols Korean Association".I can't imagine so far, coz I haven't watched it yet. Everytime I search it in google, the research results are always something about Africa, I already found some links but unfortunately, all or them died, *sigh*, maybe try later.
I also know about Dr Jin, I read some news about it before. After all the man leads confimed their roles in this Drama, the PD said they will find a suitable female lead. At this time, I really hoped that they would choose Our Quen coz she was wonderful in medical SBDH and it would be the reunion of LYW and LBS from SBDH (the main lead SSH (can't remember his name) is good-looking too ^^) but then they informed that actress PMY (still don't know who is she) will take this role. I'm a little bit disappointed (really wish our LYW will come back with drama this year) but think that she needs time to relax after casting in Perfect love. Let hope to see her in small screen next year (1 year from 49 Days). 

I still can't get over from her characters in SBDH, QSD, 49days..., so I can't watch the Skorean films LYW Unnie doesn't join. But it's ok, I will rewatch her old movies and dramas, never get bored when watching her old films ^^.

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

@rintintintin, unfortunately, I totally don't understand Korean language too ^^. I often use google translation, it doesn't make sense but still ok (I can understand what the korean reporters want to said basically).

BTW, can anyone in this thread understand Korean language?

Somtimes, I see some news in Korean about our Queen but totally don't know what they say (blame myself because of not spending time to study Korean but studying foreign language seems to be not my ability).

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

@ rintintintin, hi, i'm newcomer here, your name sounds like toy car (sorry, just kidding). I heard somewhere (maybe in DC) that her movie "Perfect Love" will be released in the end of this year and expected to become a hit in SKorea's big screen, let pray for it!!!

I hope we can enjoy "Perfect love" this year, and next year will be her newest movie (maybe should call "Legend Fist").

@ MSDANNA, I saw it few days ago in fb too, already voted 3 or 4 times (we can vote as many times as we want).

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Hi,

Thanks for your warm greeting nikachan2008.

U are so right, I've found my home. Actually, this is my 2nd home, since I joined 1 LYW's home in my country and from it, I know this international home. It's our LYW's quiet time, so like here, just few people gather there. But I still feel comfortable and enjoy your comments and feelings about LYW Unnie (same ones as me).

I did watch Surprise Party before. Yep, it's cute & funny. Like this name, its ending really surprised me, at first I worried that LYW's character and the male lead betray her close friend, but fortunately, they don't.

I also watched Attack the Gas Station (cute & funny, too), When Romance meets Destiny (in it, I really hope LYW's character pairs with the male lead, but they don't, maybe coz in this case, Romance doesn't meet Destiny ^^), Recipe (beautiful one). In recent time, I enjoyed May 18. It's a heart-touched movie and this is the first movie I have watched, all male lead die. And last night, I did watch TCOMC (again thanks MSDANNA), will rewatch coz I a little bit don't understand messages the SW & PD want to transfer to the audience.

I'm now searching for AFRIKA movie, as it seems to be action one interesting me. Is there some one know the link to watch it (engsub please)? Tks in advance.

Sorry, I talk too much but nothing new about our LYW. Hope next time, I have something to contribute in.

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Thanks for your welcome and your link of Take care of my cat movie MSDANNA.

I really wish LYW Unnie's new movies will gain big success (or bigger) like Take care of my cat or May 18.

I saw someone here love to see SBDH's NG and BTS clip (Califfey as I remember).

Here is the TUDOU link of some NG and BTS from SBDH: http://www.tudou.com/playlist/id7994762.html

Hope you enjoy it.

Also, I really love LYW's BTS and NG vids. She always smiled and laughed, made everyone surrouding her feel comfortable. I laugh uncontrollably everytime I watch her NGs scenes (supper funny). Sometimes I think she was the actor causing most of funny NGs scene in the films she acted ^^.

[♥ Lee Yo Won 이요원 ♥]

Hi everyone!

I'm a Soompi's new member and LYW Unnie is the only reason I registered here.

Have known LYW Unnie for about 6 months. Coz Kfilm was absolutely not my favourite (too many idols and unreal life story, I think) before I saw her in Surgeon Bong Dal Hee drama and become her super fan. She changes my mind about Kfilm and I started to watch some of her dramas and movies (only her films are all Kfilm I have watched).

In comparison with all of her senior fans here, I'm just a junior (but super junior fan ). I have read and followed this thread for a while (silent reader). I'm a kind of super lazy person, especially express my feeling. And now I can't resist to say something about my most (and only one) favourite idol.

Too bad that I know her in this quiet time and not many people gather here. And just few new updates about her. Maybe now she's happy to take care of her family and charge energy for big comeback. Also, that part of her (family's woman) I really like and adore.

Can't wait until her new movie (perfect Number/love)released and one more new moive (Fist) started shooting. Surely, at that time we have many things to discuss about her.

Sorry, a little bit long speech but nothing new.

I run out now, finish my greeting to every one here

PS: Is there anyone here knowing where I can watch her movie: Take care of my cat with engsub? I try to search but not succeed (It's really hard to search her old movies and drama, too bad ). I heard that it's her really successful movie and has story about a group of girls who have just graduated from their university and they are on the way to figure out their future. It attracts me coz I'm a graduate too (for about 4 months). (

Biography

Lee Yo-Won was born on April 9, 1980, in Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.  In 1997, during her sophomore year in high school, Lee Yo-Won applied for a modeling contest and was picked as the winner.  After the contest she debuted in the monthly fashion magazine "Figaro" (휘가로) for its November issue.  In 1998, Lee Yo-Won made her acting debut in the film "Scent of a Man".  While acting for her first movie, Lee Yo-Won sometimes tore up because staff members only applauded the other actors for their work. Then some staff members noticed her tears and mentioned she was good at tearing up.  That was the first time she heard positive words about her acting.  With her confidence building and gaining more attention from the staff members, Lee Yo-Won realized she wanted to pursue acting as a profession. 

For her second film, Lee Yo-Won played gas station attendant Galchi in the hit movie “Attack the Gas Station!” which sold 2.4 million tickets. Thanks to the popularity of that film Lee Yo-Won started to gain recognition from the public.  Lee Yo-Won then acted in several television dramas.

In 2001, Lee Yo-Won's big breakthrough came in the KBS TV drama "Blue Mist" (Pureun Angae). For the first time Lee Yo-Won played the lead character in a TV drama and the series became a big hit.  The drama itself contained a controversial (for its time) storyline involving a woman in her early 20's becoming involved romantically with a married man in his 40's.  In the same year, 2001, Lee Yo-Won acted as one of the three main characters in the critically praised indie film "Take Care of My Cat" directed by female director Jeong Jae-Eun.  The film was chosen as one of the 5 best films of 2001 by "Cine Seoul" magazine.  Lee Yo-Won mentioned in a 2009 interview with "Elle Korea" fashion magazine that "Take Care of My Cat" was her most memorable work.  Lee Yo Won also got Baeksang Award for Best Newcomer Actress by the movie Take Care of my Cat.

In 2003, at the age of 22, Lee Yo-Won made the surprising announcement that she will marry.  On January 10, 2003, Lee Yo-Won married professional golfer & businessman Park Jin-Woo.  Lee Yo-Won temporarily put her acting career on hold while she went to the U.S. with her husband to study.  Lee Yo Won accompanied her husband to get Master degree in University of San Diego while Lee Yo Won also wanted to study English in U.S.

In December 2003, Lee Yo-Won had a daughter.  In an interview with TV show "Section TV - S Diary" on MBC, Lee Yo-Won mentioned that at the time of her marriage she was tired of acting and the demands placed on her.  One week before her marriage, Lee Yo Won still had to complete her filming schedule for drama “Daemang”, she was really at her peak and busy as an actress at that time as she decided to get married.

In 2005, Lee Yo-Won made her acting comeback in the SBS drama series "Fashion 70's".  She chose the role for three reasons: because it was a historical drama, that it was directed by Lee Jae-Kyu (who previously directed popular female oriented detective drama "Damo: The Legendary Police Woman") and that it dealt with a woman's career and success rather than a pure love story.  Actually she was afraid of her comeback that people can’t accept her. She got some criticisms for her life in US that she on purpose gave birth outside Korea. She said because now she has a family, if she was mocked, her family will get the impact too. But she got big support from her husband said that “don’t really bother of what people say”.

Before taking "Fashion 70s," Lee Yo Won starred in a movie “When Romance Meets Destiny” as supporting actress, she said she likes the character and on purpose not to take as lead actress for her first comeback to entertainment.  After "Fashion 70's," Lee Yo-Won acted in various drama and movies. She acted in medical drama "Surgeon Bong Dal Hee" as the main character Bong Dal Hee who was a resident doctor, struggling to be a surgeon even she herself had heart problem of her health. The Drama again made a success in TV rating, Lee Yo Won won Three Awards for this drama : Top Female Excellent, Best Couple (with Lee Bum Soo), and Popularity Award in SBS Drama Award 2007.

Another hit was movie "May 18" which was from real story of Gwangju incident in 1980, the movie attracted millions viewers on theatres and becomes first local movie in that year which can successfully compete against Hollywood movie.  The end of 2007 until half 2008, Lee Yo Won acted in drama Bad Love (Cruel Love) with actor Kwon Sang Woo. This drama was a mellow one about love, unfortunately the drama wasn’t good in TV rating in Korea, and it said that the genre wasn’t popular at that time in Korean drama industry.

In 2009, Lee Yo-Won performed in another smash-hit television series, this time in the MBC historical drama "The Great Queen Seon Deok".  Lee Yo-Won played main character Queen Seon Deok, who possessed extraordinary intelligence and strength.  In an interview with "Star News," Lee Yo-Won stated she was tired of playing woman who were fragile and weak and eagerly took the role of Queen Seondeok because of this. At first, some people doubt about her acting as Queen Seon Deok because they just recalled her acting as fragile and teary woman in Bad Love, but the PD and director of "Queen Seon Deok" believed that Lee Yo Won deserved the role, the "Bad Love" case wasn’t wrong with Lee Yo Won’s acting skill, she was good at it, what ruined the drama was the storyline itself.  And right, Lee Yo Won successfully played the main role Queen Seon Deok, the drama become drama of the year and national drama in 2009.  She played opposite Go Hyun Jung, even though some people always wanted to compare the two of them, but Lee Yo Won humble said that Go Hyun Jung is her senior and really appreciate her acting.

In 2010, Lee Yo-Won's next film "The Recipe" was released in late October.  She appeared at the world premiere for "The Recipe" during the Pusan International Film Festival (in which AsianMediaWiki attended).  During the question and answer session Lee Yo-Won stated she chose the film, because she wanted to work with another female director due to her great experience with "Take Care of my Cat." Although she was initially reluctant to take on another role of a "fragile woman," the movie's producer Jang Jin and movie director Lee Seo-Goon convinced this would be the right role for her. 

In 2011, LYW came back the small-screen with SBS Drama “49 Days”, and once again demonstrated her true value performing two unique roles: depressed Song Yi Kyung and cheerful Shin Ji Huyn. She was one of the most important factors for the success of this drama and has gained even more popularity after that.

2012 is a productive year with her when she took the female leads in 2 movies: Suspect X and Legend Punch and joined MBC anniversary drama: Horse Doctor. In Suspect X, she played Hwa-sun who kills her abusive ex to protect her child and a brilliant mathematician decides to cover her accidental murder; while in Legend Punch, her role is the head of a tough production team and a strong career woman who has the 'legendary team' eating out of her hands. 

For MBC medical sageuk “Horse Doctor”, she took the role of Kang Ji Nyung, a very progressive woman in the Joseon era. She was the lover at the same time the helper of Baek Gwang Huyn (Jo Seung-Woo) until he became the Royal Physician. Her presence in this drama became the discussion, it was not because of her acting skills, but because the development was too concentrated on the hero that somehow wasted her talent. However, she still received much loved from audience for showing an infinite variety of performance.

After Horse Doctor finished in early 2013, she made her quick comeback to drama land in SBS's "Empire of Gold", which revolves around a power struggle over a chaebol. She played the role of female lead Choi Seo-yoon - the “empire princess,” second daughter of the country’s biggest chaebol group who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. And again, she never failed to amaze audience with her spectacular performance of a wise and icy girl in the battle with two beasts; and won the recognition from SBS with "Top 10 Stars" Award and "Top Excellence Award, Medium-Length Drama" Award. But they might not the most valuables awards for her with "Empire of Gold", because during the filming, she also picked up "gold" and got pregnant of the second baby. 

In July-25, her Management Agency made announcement that Lee Yo Won gave birth to her second daughter in May, 2014. One year later, it was relayed that on May 17, 2015 Lee Yo Won gave birth to a son. She is now a mother of three, with her two daughters and now a son.Congratulation!!!  

After long hiatus from Empire of Gold, in 2016, she made her come-back to JTBC's Ms. Temper and Nam Jung-gi. Her character is nicknamed Fire Da-jeong for her fiery temper and is the youngest team manager. In this project, she played the role of a badass and took off the innocent and elegant image she's had up to now. 2016 was a hectic year of Lee Yo Won, because right after Ms. Temper and Nam Jung-gi finished, she joined the production team of the warm family movie "Youngest" as the role of the second child of the family, who is a passionate reporter. "Youngest" was not her last project in 2016, she also joined MBC's drama named "Night light" as an elegant and perfect woman.

In 2017, Lee Yo Won made a surprising comeback at a tvN's drama: "Buam-dong Revenge Social Club". In the past, she usually took a year off after one busy year, but 2017 was an exception and this exception was worthy. The drama is the adaptation of the same name webtoon "Buam-dong Revenge Social Club", telling the story of three women from very different walks of life - the privileged daughter of chaebol family, a widowed fish market seller, and the wife of college professor - who come together to enact revenge, but discover friendship in the process. Lee Yo Won played the role of Kim Jung-Hye, who is the chaebol daughter of a family running a big company. She appeares straightforward and arrogant, but she is actually naive and cute. The drama as well as Jung-Hye character were very well loved by not only Korean viewer (peak rating: 6.3%, which is very high number for a cable channel's program) but also international fan.

2018 had been a quiet year for Lee Yo Won and her fan until August 15, she was revealed to be the female lead of MBC's drama "Different dreams 이몽", which is being produced to mark the 100th anniversary of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. She will play female lead Lee Young-Jin, a beautiful, bright, and confident surgeon who dreams of saving the lives of many, but becomes an agent for the provisional Korean government. The drama will start filming in October, 2108 and is expected to premiere in the first half of 2019
