No more romance and melodrama, Song Hye Kyo transforms for her 1st revenge series “The Glory”: Will she succeed?
“The Glory”, Netflix’s upcoming drama is expected to show Song Hye Kyo’s transformation that viewers have been waiting for.
Actress Song Hye Kyo and screenwriter Kim Eun Sook achieved great success when they first worked together 6 years ago in the 2016 massive hit “Descendants of the Sun”. This year, Netflix’s “The Glory”, a drama marking their highly-anticipated second collaboration is getting released. “The Glory” seems to be completely different from both Song Hye Kyo and Kim Eun Sook’s previous works, raising expectations.
Both Song Hye Kyo and Kim Eun Sook are most known for dramas of the romance genre. “The Glory” is their first revenge genre series. With a fairly dark and intense synopsis, “The Glory” stars a not only visually stunning but also talented cast including Song Hye Kyo, Lee Do Hyun, Lim Ji Yeon, Yeon Hye Ran, Park Sung Hoon and Jung Sung Il. “The Glory” will have 2 seasons. The first season with 8 episodes has completed filming and is scheduled to be released by the end of this year.
“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.
Moon Dong Eun promises to be the most complicated and challenging character Song Hye Kyo has ever portrayed. As she usually took on somewhat similar roles throughout her career that caused her image to be deemed “repetitive” and “too safe”, “The Glory” is expected to mark a memorable image and acting transformation for Song Hye Kyo.
Song Hye Kyo’s male acting partner in “The Glory” is rising actor Lee Do Hyun, who is 14 years old younger than her. Although he is still young and has only debuted for a few years, Lee Do Hyun has consistently drawn praise for his acting through various dramas. 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.
Despite his bright appearance, Ju Yeo Young will be the one to support Moon Dong Eun on her path of revenge. How could a warm, lovely and honest guy become a promoter of hatred? You can find out more about it in the upcoming episodes of The Glory.
In addition to the main couple, the supporting characters of The Glory are also receiving a lot of attention from the audience. Actress Lim Ji Yeon will play Park Yeon Jin, the enemy of the female lead Moon Dong Eun, a woman who never apologizes for her hurtful actions to others.
Sooner or later, karma will come to those who are the devils. After Park Yeon Jin met Moon Dong Eun again, her perfectly beautiful life will take a different turn. So between the two, who is the villain of The Glory?
Screenwriter Kim Eun Sook, who is a familiar writer of dramas with sweet love stories, this time brings to the audience a work filled with darkness and hatred..
Song Hye Kyo, an actress who is well-known to the audience through her leading roles in touching love stories, will now become a woman with a wounded soul, living in the ghost of the past and willing to do anything to get her revenge.
Lee Do Hyun’s handsome, sweet male lead image in his previous works will also not appear in The Glory.
It can be said that The Glory is a combination of extremely interesting transformations. The exciting transformation of the 3 actors in this work are receiving a lot of attention from Korean moviegoers. But whether The Glory becomes a hit or not, only the future can tell.
