Regarding the fact that Song Hye Kyo’s acting in Netflix’s “The Glory” received high praise from netizens, the work she reviewed in the past was re-examined.
On Jan 12th, the behind-the-scenes story of the work Song Hye Kyo reviewed in the past was posted on the online community. The work Song Hye Kyo reviewed was “Anna” (directed by Lee Joo Young).
In 2019, Song Hye Kyo received an offer to appear in “Anna”, which was scheduled to be produced as a movie, and reviewed it. However, she finally declined due to investment issues and a change in direction from the drama’s side.
Afterwards, “Anna” was produced as a Coupang Play drama starring Suzy and was released in June last year with a total of 6 episodes (the director’s cut consists of 8 episodes).
Based on Chung Han Ah’s novel “Intimate Stranger”, “Anna” tells the story of a woman who lives a completely different life starting with a small lie.
Suzy received favorable reviews for playing the double role of Lee Yu Mi, a woman born to a poor father and a disabled mother, and Lee Anna, a perfect woman everyone envies.
Song Hye Kyo, who refused to appear in “Anna”, made a comeback with Netflix’s “The Glory” released on Dec 30th last year.
“The Glory” tells the story of a woman who puts an elaborate revenge scheme in motion to make the perpetrators pay for their crimes years after surviving horrific abuse in high school.
Immediately after the release of Part 1 (episodes 1~8) on Dec 30th last year, the actors’ excellent acting, writer Kim Eun Sook’s writing skills and director Ahn Gil Ho’s directing all received favorable reviews.
Part 2 of “The Glory” will be released on March 10th. Suzy will also make a comeback with Netflix’s drama “Doona!” in July.
Netizens left comments such as “I want to see Song Hye Kyo’s ‘Anna’, too. Still, Suzy was really perfect“, “They both seem to fit in with ‘Anna’“, “Suzy did a good job in ‘Anna’, and Song Hye Kyo did well in ‘The Glory’“…
