After her powerful transformation as an actress in the Netflix original series “The Glory,” which earned her the Grand Prize at the Blue Dragon Series Awards, Song Hye-kyo returns as Sister Junia, a bold and relentless character determined to save a boy named Hee-joon. (played by Moon Woo-jin), possessed by an evil spirit. Sister Junia is a courageous and determined figure who carries out her plan solely to save the boy.
Song Hye-kyo portrays Junia with delicate nuances, blending a cold and composed appearance with a heartfelt and desperate sincerity, creating a character never seen before.
