Hong Ji-hee's role in the first episode of "Big Mouth" had not been widely publicized ahead of time, possibly because the fact that her character is important at all works as a spoiler. Hong Ji-hee principally works in stage acting, as well as musicals. She had a major role in "ARKO LIVE Musical: Sidereus" which was a recording of the Korean version of the stage musical in question. "Big Mouth" had ratings of 6.2% in its first episode which aired on July 29th.
