Lee Do Hyun Shares How He Prepared For New Acting Role
Unlike Song Hye Kyo's new character, who has been introduced in detail, Lee Do Hyun's new acting role is quite obscure and mysterious.
Song Hye Kyo wanted to challenge herself with an anti-heroine role. Meanwhile, Lee Do Hyun was drawn with the character's enigma, which made him want to play the part well.
According to the actor, he prepared four to five acting versions for one scene as if he was in an audition. Through this, he is able to show his diversity as an actor.
"I apologize to Song Hye Kyo. I live alone and I have no one to throw lines with so I asked my dog Gaeul to play the part," Lee Do Hyun shyly admitted, sending everyone to laughter.
Song Hye Kyo was delighted and replied, "That's fine with me. Gaeul is so cute."
"The Glory" airs for the first time on December 30 on Netflix. In particular, Part 2 will sequentially premiere in March 2023.
