In a 2011 Countdown, Jeon played a female con artist who risks her life for ten days for a final deal with a cold-hearted debt collector. Countdown premiered at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
In 2005 Jeon played a prostitute who contracts AIDS in Park Jin-pyo’s hard-hitting melodrama You Are My Sunshine. The film made into a box-office hit, and her performance won her more local acting awards. She then returned to television in Lovers in Prague which depicts the love story between the president’s daughter and an ordinary detective; the drama averaged over 27 percent viewership ratings. Hancinema noted, “It is rare for a movie and a drama with the same leading actor or actress to become major hits at the same time. And often, actors and actresses avoid such cases, due to the risk of confusing audiences, but Jeon managed to pull both roles off perfectly without causing any confusion in the audience.”
