Song Hye Kyo Receives Praises For 'The Glory' Performance

Song Hye Kyo redeems her image as an actress through her comeback drama "The Glory"!

The new Netflix series depicts the story of Moon Dong Eun, played by Song Hye Kyo, who plots her revenge on the people who tortured and assaulted her in high school.

Before the release of the series, the actress described the work as her "best drama" yet, raising expectations to a new high.

Among others, Song Hye Kyo is an actress that was nicknamed "mediocre" due to her bland acting and expressionless face. Her newer works "Encounter" and "Now, We Are Breaking Up" even received flak for its underwhelming production.

She was also criticized for choosing the same roles over and over: the successful woman with a beautiful face caught between a love triangle.

Fortunately, Song Hye Kyo was able to turn the tables around and redeemed herself through her comeback drama "The Glory."

The actress displayed her microacting and embodied a school violence victim whose heart is filled with hatred. Song Hye Kyo also successfully captured the creepy and calm expressions seamlessly.

"Song Hye Kyo gave me the creeps, she's so amazing as Moon Dong Eun!" one viewer commented, proving the actress' efficient acting in the Netflix series.

Thanks to Song Hye Kyo's innate talents, she perfectly portrayed the scarred and flawed Moon Dong Eun successfully.
