Lee Do Hyun revealed that he did his best to prepare for Netflix’s series “The Glory”.
On Dec 20th, the press conference of Netflix’s series “The Glory” was held at JW Marriott Dongdaemun, Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Director Ahn Gil Ho, writer Kim Eun Sook and actors Song Hye Kyo, Lee Do Hyun, Lim Ji Yeon, Yeom Hye Ran, Park Sung Hoon, Jung Sung Il attended.
“The Glory” main character is Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo), a victim of brutal school violence during high school. Dropping out of high school, she swears to seek revenge on the perpetrators and bystanders who made her life miserable.
Song Hye Kyo’s male acting partner is rising actor Lee Do Hyun. In “The Glory”, Lee Do Hyun plays Ju Yeo Jeong, a plastic surgeon. He comes from a rich family and always gives everyone around a sense of courtesy. Ju Yeo Jeong appears in Moon Dong Eun’s life not to be her prince but to help her in the revenge plan. He decides to become Moon Dong Eun’s partner on her journey of vengeance.
Lee Do Hyun shared, “I was curious about what kind of person Ju Yeo Jeong is. He wasn’t expressed in detail, so viewers would wonder, ‘Who is this guy?’ I thought he’s an obscure but stubborn character. I wanted to play that part well.“
Lee Do Hyun said he prepared 4~5 versions of acting for one scene. He explained, “The background changes depending on how much I express it. I tried hard and calmly. I prepared with the thought to see if there would be something more diverse.“
Lee Do Hyun, who thought of his dog Gaeul as Dong Eun to practice acting, apologized to Song Hye Kyo, “I live alone and had no one to practice with. Who else can play Dong Eun besides Song Hye Kyo? I suddenly thought, ‘Gaeul, you should do it.’” Song Hye Kyo laughingly replied, “It’s okay because Gaeul is cute.“
Netflix’s series “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. It will be released on Dec 30th.
