All Of A Sudden…
Besides the interesting cast lineup, The Glory is penned by Kim Eun Sook, who wrote The Heirs, Mr. Sunshine, The King: Eternal Monarch, and Song Hye Kyo's Descendant of the Sun. At the same time, the forthcoming K-drama is helmed by Ahn Gil Ho, the director behind Stranger, Memories of the Alhambra, Happiness, and Record of Youth.
While fans are looking forward to the A-listers' comeback to the small screen, some viewers are dismayed with the pairing of lead stars.
According to an outlet, The Glory is gaining criticism after it officially confirmed lead stars Song Hye Kyo and Lee Do Hyun.
I Felt Like Dying!
Disappointed viewers expressed that the 14-year-age gap seems odd, while some even pointed out that the actress seems like she likes men younger than her.
However, Lee Do Hyun's role remains a mystery since it is not stated whether he will be the love interest of Song Hye Kyo's character.
In the upcoming K-drama, the Hallyu queen takes the role of Moon Dong Eun, who once suffered harassment during her high school years. Due to this, she promised to make them pay by spending years plotting revenge against the bullies who destroyed her childhood.
