Director Ahn Gil-ho expressed affection and satisfaction in working with ‘The Glory’ and writer Kim Eun-sook, to the extent that he picked it as the best moment of his work so far. He said, “He is easy-going, humble, and always working hard. This is why Kim Eun-sook and Kim Eun-sook are called. I learned a lot from watching the writer worry and put in effort even while filming a line, a letter, and a dot in the script.”
Writer Kim Eun-sook also said, “I can’t tell when he sleeps. It was the first time that I texted him at any time of day, morning, or night. I was the first person to reply right away. I wanted to know when he was going to sleep, so I also worked hard together.” There is a god, but he implemented it so well that I could have hugged him unless he was married.”
‘The Glory’ is also a genre that features profanity and deals with violent material, but writer Kim Eun-sook revealed that it is a ’19-year-old revenge play’ that requires a lot of philosophical agonies. He said, “It’s because it’s a story about choosing private revenge, not revenge within the judicial system. Since I’m not in a position to advocate private revenge, I thought Dong-eun’s philosophy should be 19. Adults who can judge this well I think you should see the work,” he said, saying that it was a genre that raised the ‘darkness’ within himself.
