Ten Asia reporter Choi Ji-ye objectively and keenly points out events that have occurred throughout the entertainment industry every Tuesday. We carefully analyze the 'glitch' you missed from a reporter's perspective .
When watching movies or dramas, you often encounter unexpected twists and turns. The tingling feeling that comes when a seemingly monotonous character takes off his mask, and realizes that he is clearly a good character but is the worst villain in the world. We become enthusiastic about new and novel characters due to the sudden sensation of a tugging sensation in the back of our heads.
However, meeting these characters is not always easy. There are many cases where the next development is clearly drawn before your eyes, and the cliché of 'it won't happen like this' continues without fail, leaving you feeling defeated. The presence of loose, one-dimensional characters sometimes reduces the quality of the work as a whole.
Is Joo Yeo-jeong (Lee Do-hyun) from the Netflix original series 'The Glory' (written by Kim Eun-sook, directed by Ahn Gil-ho) the former or the latter? At least in season 1, Joo Yeo-jeong is the least probable character in the character relationship between Moon Dong-eun (played by Song Hye-kyo).
Joo Yeo-jeong first meets Moon Dong-eun, who was brought in after collapsing from malnutrition while lying on a bed in the emergency room of Joo Hospital, covered in blood and bruises, making eye contact. Joo Yeo-jeong, who happened to find out about Moon Dong-eun's health condition, visits Moon Dong-eun's school twice for some reason and suddenly claims to be a baduk teacher and catches up with them.
If they found out that the patient sitting next to the bed in the emergency room was severely anemic, how many people would go to her school and tell her to take care of her health by telling her to take her anemia medication? Also, the chance of meeting someone who is so desperate for baduk that they need tutoring is even lower when asking the question 'Do you like baduk?' without any context.
Joo Yeo-jeong's baduk tutoring is unilaterally terminated by Moon Dong-eun, who goes to Semyeong City to seek revenge, and she does not receive a reply. Afterwards, he meets Moon Dong-eun, who apologizes for his rudeness, and says, "Do whatever you want to do. Instead, let's have a relationship with me." Joo Yeo-jeong follows Moon Dong-eun to Semyeong City, where he is a teacher, and opens a private practice. After seeing the burn marks on Moon Dong-eun's body, Joo Yeo-jeong claims to be a helper in revenge, saying, "I will treat you like a sword-dancing bastard."
In the Season 2 trailer released on the 23rd, Joo Yeo-jeong points a needle towards Park Yeon-jin and punches someone hard. In addition, he was also caught running around with fiery anger despite the people who were trying to stop him. As she has become Moon Dong-eun's reliable helper, Joo Yeo-jeong is expected to show her presence by shaking off the insignificant amount of screenplay she had in Season 1 as she was overshadowed by the five school bullies.
In the introduction of 'The Glory' characters, Lee Do-hyun, who plays Joo Yeo-jeong, is ranked second after Song Hye-kyo. This order refers to the weight that the work gives to the character. The task given to Lee Do-hyun in Season 2 is to cleanly and satisfactorily fulfill the required role as the second character of 'The Glory'. We look forward to Lee Do-hyun appearing with a twisted face and hitting viewers 'hard' on the back of the head.
