‘The Glory’ actor Cha Ju-young captivated the world.
On the Netflix TOP 10 chart, Netflix ranked 3rd in the non-English TV category within 3 days of release, followed by 82.48 million viewing hours in the 2nd week of release (2nd to 9th) In the series ‘The Glory’, Cha Ju-young surprised everyone with a face that was clearly different from before.
He poured out the solid acting skills he had built up over the years without adding or subtracting, and received favorable reviews for his own color to the character’s characteristics. Hyejeong (played by Cha Juyoung), played by Cha Juyoung in the play, is a member of the bullying group that harassed Dongeun (played by Song Hyekyo) during her school days, and is a person full of her desire and qualifications to go higher than her friends.
Among them, Cha Ju-young, who tried to transform, imprinted an indispensable presence in the work by unfolding Hye-jeong’s emotions and psychology in a multi-layered relationship. Hyejeong, aka ‘strong weak weak weak’, was created by Cha Ju-young as an unforgivable villain with her unique wit and flexible expressive power, but an attractive character that cannot bear to be hated.
In particular, at the words of Yeonjin, who laughs at herself wearing Sarah’s clothes and gives a chilling warning, Hyejeong’s complex inner side, which nods while holding back tears, is fully conveyed in her shaking pupils and breathing. In addition, for a while, she took photos of her anger and uploaded them to social media, reviving Hyejeong’s blunt side and arousing her tense atmosphere.
In addition, in the scene of asking for forgiveness after finding out that the prospective mother-in-law and Dong-eun are acquainted, Cha Joo-young densely captures the ambivalent characteristics of Hye-jeong. It is a three-dimensional portrayal of a character who seems to sincerely apologize to Dong-eun for her past mistakes, but on the other side only cares about her own safety.
In this way, Cha Ju-young realized the character itself with solid and stable acting. With her delicate control of the pace, she created a breathtaking tension, adding chewiness and weight to the play. As a result, many people’s attention is focused on the future of Cha Ju-young, who showed a more bold and renewed face.
Meanwhile, Part 1 of the Netflix series ‘The Glory’ starring Cha Ju-young can only be found on Netflix.
