Nam Ji Hyun plays Oh In Kyung, one of the main characters who works as a reporter in the Korean drama Little Women . The last episode of Little Women aired on October 9 and received a stellar rating. Episode 12 scored an average nationwide rating of 11.1 percent, becoming the highest gain throughout the drama season. With Little Women ending, Nam Ji Hyun is ready to step into a new project. He also expressed hope.

Debuting as a child actress in 2004, Nam Ji Hyun first made her name thanks to the 2008 drama East of Eden. Starting her career as a child actress made Nam Ji Hyun hope to play together with child actors and actresses again in the future. "I feel very proud to see other child actresses continue to be successful. I once imagined being able to work on the same project with other child actresses by chance. 

I think this will be very fun," he said in an interview as quoted by MyDaily. Of the few child actresses who are still active in the entertainment industry, Nam Ji Hyun mentioned that she feels emotionally close to other former child actresses such as Park Eun Bin and Lee Se Young. Especially Park Eun Bin, because both of them are friends in the Psychology major. In addition, they also worked on the same project as a child in the drama The Great Queen Seondeok.

Nam Ji Hyun also expressed his gratitude to the viewers who have faithfully followed the drama Little Women from the beginning of its broadcast. He also really enjoyed his time acting as the character Oh In Kyung. "I sincerely thank you for believing (the story) and sticking with us, even though there must have been times when it wasn't easy," he said. Despite its success, the Korean drama Little Women was controversial in Vietnam. 

This drama is suspected of distorting history so that it can no longer be watched on Netflix Vietnam. This started because of one of the episodes, episode 8. In the episode, a war veteran from South Korea is seen boasting about the kill ratio between South Korean troops and Viet Cong (communist soldiers). The war veteran claims each Korean troop has killed between 20 and 100 Vietnamese soldiers.

In his dialogue, the actor called 'Korean troops are heroes of the Vietnam War'. This sparked the anger of Korean drama lovers in Vietnam. As a result, the Vietnam Electronic Information and Broadcasting Authority (ABEI) requested that Little Women be stopped on Netflix Vietnam. They stated that the scenes discussing the Vietnam War in episodes 3 and 8 were historical deviations and different from the actual truth.

Regarding the controversy, representatives of Studio Dragon, as the production house, spoke up. They promised to be more careful in the future when discussing the history of other countries. "We want to talk about concerns about one of the scenes in Little Women. We will pay more attention to sensitive social and cultural issues in the production of our content in the future," said Studio Dragon.
