But, did you know that while filming the K-drama, Song Hye Kyo was slapped so hard by co-actress Lim Ji Yeon that she forgot her lines? Scroll down to read the scoop.
During the press conference of ‘The Glory’, Song Hye Kyo had shared unknown facts about the K-drama when she revealed the behind-the-scenes story of her most memorable scene in ‘The Glory’.
Song Hye Kyo said, “I vividly remember the scene where I got slapped by Ji Yeon. It was actually where I slapped her as well. It wasn’t an easy scene. The director wanted us to do it at once, so although I’ve been working in this industry for a long time, I never got slapped properly before. It really was a proper slap. When she slapped me, my mind went blank. Nothing came to my mind at that moment. I even forgot my lines, I couldn’t remember what I had to say next.”
Song Hye Kyo also revealed that they had to stop filming for some time so that she and Ji Yeon can take a rest. She added, “During that break, I went to see myself in the mirror, and there was a hand mark on my face in red. It was the same for Ji Yeon. We couldn’t carry on with our shooting right away, so we applied an ice pack to the red marks for a while. We were able to shoot again once we were done with soothing our skin.”
