Song Hye-kyo’s character Moon Dong-eun suffered brutal school violence in the upcoming drama The Glory
Song Hye-kyo will essay the character of Moon Dong-eun in the upcoming revenge-based drama, The Glory.
As a child, Moon Dong-eun went through some of the darkest and most difficult phases of her life, and had to persevere to make it through. She was a victim of school bullying. She was abused by her own classmates and had to drop out. Following brutal school violence and torture, she couldn’t trust anyone. She couldn’t fulfill her dream of becoming an architect.
As the years went on, Moon Dong-eun gradually became a teacher and the person who bullied her got married and had kids. When the latter's kid joined elementary school, Moon Dong-eun followed suit, becoming the child's homeroom teacher.
She then plans to exact revenge from the people who bullied her, and the bystanders who didn’t do anything to help. She plots a thorough plan designed to make sure others suffer.
A significant role in her plan is played by Lee Do-hyun, who will be portraying the role of Joo Yeo-jung in The Glory, a character said to be controlled by Moon Dong-eun. Joo Yeo-jung is carefree and loving, and comes from a wealthy background.
What happened at the press conference?
During the press conference for The Glory, held at JW Marriot Dongdaemun Square in Seoul on December 20, Song Hye-kyo and Lee Do-hyun shared thoughtful opinions about their characters.

He further mentioned:
“After receiving the script, I read it quickly out of curiosity. I was curious what kind of person Yeojung is and there weren't many details, so I wondered what he was exactly. I want to deliver it well to viewers, so I thought he’s little unclear but stubborn.”
Hye-kyo shared how eager she was to try out a different genre from the usual romance. She spoke about her interest in essaying a role that would be darker and significantly different from her previous dramas.
Speaking about her character in The Glory, she said:
“I have always wanted to try this genre and character. I zoned out for a moment when I first read the script, how is it like this? And I thought to myself, the show will come out great only if I do well.”
She also shared her experience of getting slapped for a scene in the K-drama:
“My mind went blank when I got slapped because it was my first time getting slapped like that. Our cheeks were red when we looked at the mirror after scene.”
