Song Hye-Kyo, in an interview with Sports Chosun, revealed getting bored of acting as she was doing the same roles before The Glory. She said, “Acting was always fun, challenging, and difficult, but at some point, I felt a bit tired because I wasn’t doing various production. I was always shown the same way, and I thought that people would think I’m boring because even I felt like I was boring. Maybe that’s why I didn’t enjoy acting anymore.”
Talking about the Netflix show, The Descendants of the Sun actress continued, “I started enjoying acting again when I did The Glory. The roles I received afterwards have also become more diverse than before.” Before landing the role in the show, Song Hye-Kyo was seen appearing in many romantic K-dramas. She also did various romantic movies.
As the 42-year-old talked about her future projects, she revealed the type of roles she wants to do. Son Hye-Kyo said, “There are a lot of things I haven’t done yet. I’ve done a lot of melodramas, and since I did that since I was young, there are so many genres I haven’t tried yet. I want to try horror, thrillers, and I also want to play a villain. I also want to do a romantic comedy that has a lot more comedy in it as a silly role.”
