In the Netflix drama "All Of Us Are Dead", she played the role of Lee Na Yeon. Her role instantly became one of the most hated characters in "All Of Us Are Dead".

Na Yeon’s demeanor and actions showed one of the K-drama’s societal issues about class status, power, and what people are willing to do to survive. Despite knowing her character’s horrid actions, Lee Yoo Mi defends aspects of Na Yeon in a Vogue Korea interview.

Lee Yoo Mi explains, “She has no choice but to be in a rush because she has to survive. Her desire to live was just expressed in a different way. Na Yeon does what she can because she’s human. That’s why I think people feel pity [for her]. If she’s really mean, that means I acted well, right?”

Audiences came to dislike the Na Yeon from the start, but by episode 8, she realizes her mistakes and how lonely she is. When watching the video recording her classmates left, she is sad about killing Gyeong Su and misses her friends. Audiences start to pity Na Yeon despite her horrid actions.
