Streaming service Netflix released still cuts of “The Glory”, raising expectations and curiosity about writer Kim Eun Sook’s first genre play.
Netflix’s series “The Glory” tells the story of a former victim of school violence who seeks revenge on her bullies after taking up a job as a homeroom teacher at the elementary school of the bully’s child.
The still cuts feature Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo), who has begun to carry out her long-planned revenge; her helpers Ju Yeo Jeong (Lee Do Hyun) and Kang Hyeon Nam (Yeom Hye Ran); her life’s biggest nightmares Park Yeon Jin (Lim Ji Yeon), Jeon Jae Joon (Park Sung Hoon), Lee Sa Ra (Kim Hieora), Choi Hye Jeong (Cha Joo Young), Son Myeong Oh (Kim Gun Woo) and Yeon Jin’s husband Ha Do Yeong (Jung Sung Il). Jung Ji So, who plays young Moon Dong Eun, and Shin Ye Eun, who plays young Park Yeon Jin, can also be found.
The actors put more effort into character analysis than ever before. While creating the character Dong Eun, Song Hye Kyo focused on the point “Don’t act pitifully as Dong Eun is a character who needs a lot of comfort” so that revenge can be highlighted rather than the character. Director Ahn Gil Ho and Song Hye Kyo paid attention to details by constantly refining narration lines’ tone and speed in order to express Dong Eun’s distinct purpose.
Lee Do Hyun introduced Ju Yeo Jeong, “You can think of him as a light and pure person, but when you get to know him, he has a dark side as well.” Lee Do Hyun focused on portraying Ju Yeo Jeong’s soft appearance like a flower in a greenhouse and the darkness hidden inside him. Lim Ji Yeon, who plays Park Yeon Jin, the leader of violence, expressed confidence, “I’ll make a villain that only Lim Ji Yeon can do.” Writer Kim Eun Sook shared, “There will be no reason or glorification for Yeon Jin’s evil deeds and malice. That is the reason for the existence of this series.“
“The Glory” will be released worldwide only through Netflix on Dec 30th.
