I was always worried that my daughter would receive unnecessary attention or become misunderstoodbecause of me. But then my daughter wiped away my fears with just one phrase - 'Mom, you're not theKim Eun Sook like the past'.
Mom, would you be more heart broken if I beat someone to death or if I got beat to death by someone else?
This was the second wave of shock. It was hellish for me. The story unfolded in my head in that instance and that's how I began writing the story for 'The Glory'.
Writer Kim Eun Sook Shares How She Got The Idea To Write 'the Glory'
I would be in despair if my child beat up someone to death because I have to think about how to make my kid a decent human being but I think I wouldn't be able to think properly if my kid came home beat up, Both are horrific, I think it's better if my child came home beat up by someone else because if my child was the perpetrator who beat someone to death, it means my kid is less than human unless it was in self defense, For me, I think it would be better if my kid hit someone more than if my kid got beat up, I think it's better if my kid is the one who beat up someone else if the phrase 'to death' is included. but then I would do everything to help the victim like pay for their treatment and everything, I'm so shocked there are so many people saying it's better that their kid beats someone else to death, I think both is hellish,

But then our Dong Eun in the film didn't have that means. Actually, a lot of Dong Euns in the world do not have that means. They weren't able to meet parents who have the money and were not given the family situation. So, I want to show my support for them. I tried to write the story so that Dong Eun can successfully carry out her revenge because it's not like that in reality.
