Acting is always fun and challenging, but at some point, I felt tired because I couldnt participate in many works of different genres. My characters are always portrayed in the same way.
That made me think that people would find me boring, because even I felt bored. That period made me no longer interested in acting, the actress confessed.
However, the movie The Glory has changed everything. Song Hye Kyo said: I started to love acting again when I participated in The Glory. The roles I received later were also more diverse than before.
