Kapanlagi.com - Last January 2021, Song Hye Kyo was confirmed to star in her latest drama titled THE GLORY. For this Netflix project, she will act alongside the handsome actor Lee Do Hyun.
THE GLORY itself tells the story of a high school student who experiences bullying from her friends. Her dream of becoming an architect is shattered when she is forced to leave school due to a series of brutal incidents that torment her.
Years later, she plans her revenge and successfully becomes a teacher. She even becomes the homeroom teacher of the child who used to bully her.
1. The Author is the Same as DOTS
What is more attention-grabbing, the drama THE GLORY is also written by Kim Eun Sook, who was previously known as the writer of the drama DESCENDANTS OF THE SUN. No wonder this becomes a highly anticipated project for Song Hye Kyo's fans.

In her recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, Song Hye Kyo revealed details about the drama THE GLORY. She admitted that it is her first time taking on a role in a thriller genre involving revenge.
"This is my first thriller drama and also my first revenge drama. Because the production and character's style are very different from what I usually do, I am looking forward to expressing new emotions and expressions while acting," said Song Hye Kyo.
3. Has an Amazing Production Team

Furthermore, Song Hye Kyo also admitted that the production team for this drama is truly great. She feels lucky to be surrounded by talented individuals involved in every shooting process, especially writer Kim Eun Sook, director Ahn Gil Ho, and the crew.
"Fortunately, writer Kim Eun Sook, who has written with great strength, and director Ahn Gil Ho, whom I trust and follow, are here, so I really rely on them. I am the type of person who considers the process important. The result is certainly important too, but I think the process is more important. Can't production be done alone? The teamwork and rhythm between the director, writer, crew, and the people who work together are certainly more valuable," she said.
4. Admitting the Difficulty of Acting

Because this is the first time she has taken on a thriller genre and a different character, Song Hye Kyo admitted to facing many difficulties. She confessed that it was quite challenging to act while building her character.
"I never enter a production with the mindset of 'You've done this many times, so you can definitely do it'. I have been acting for a long time, but I am always nervous. Not only because I am getting older, but also because the character grows with me," she explained.
The former wife of Song Joong Ki added, "The character must truly mature as they get older, experiencing joys and sorrows in their life until that point. Of course, I have to be able to convey that message (to the audience). That's why I feel that acting in this drama has become even more difficult."
5. Bold and Dazzling Appearance
