As per South China Morning Post, during an interview, Lim Ji-yeon talked about her character in detail. She said, “When I played the character, I wanted the whole world to hate me. When I take on a role for a project, I try to make viewers love and relate to my character. But I’ve never had to develop a character to be hated. And there was a catharsis that came from it.”
Despite playing positive roles in all her earlier shows and movies, Ji-yeon has proved her talent as a skilled artist by playing a believable antagonist in The Glory. While talking about taking the risk of taking up a negative role, she said, “I’ve always wanted to play an antagonist. But I just vaguely thought that maybe when I have more experience, like in my 40s, I would be offered such a role … but then Yeon-jin came and it was such a good opportunity.”
The Glory is an excellent show on Netflix if you are a K-drama and psychological thriller lover. Lim Ji-yeon’s performance is surely going to blow you away!
