'The Glory' Introduces Song Hye Kyo's Tormentors
While Song Hye Kyo leads the drama with Lee Do Hyun, "Money Heist Korea: Joint Economic Area" actress Lim Ji Yeon joins the cast as the main villain.
Lim Ji Yeon takes on the role of Park Yeo Jin, Moon Dong Eun's nightmare. She lived a privileged life, and had a goddess-like visual but ruthless personality.
She is also the leader of the gang that inflicted violence against Moon Dong Eun. The upcoming work marks Lim Ji Yeon's first challenge as a villain.
Kim Eun Sook, the screenwriter of the series, and Lim Ji Yeon both agree that Park Yeon Jin's evil deeds and schemes should never be glorified nor downplayed.
"Many people have suffered from school violence and were never believed once," the writer said, "It's time to show how school violence destroys people's lives and how they are forced to live with the pain."
In particular, Park Sung Hoon, Kim Hieora, Cha Joo Young and Kim Gun Woo also confirmed their participation in the show as Lim Ji Yeon's bully friends, depicting a realistic picture of society.
