Editor's Take:
Song Hye-kyo was one of the first stars of the Korean Wave, the surge of Korean pop culture across Asia. Autumn in My Heart made her a household name in China and South East Asia. Descendants of the Sun brought her a new generation of fans. With The Glory she took a sharp turn into darker territory, playing a woman planning revenge for years of abuse. The role won critical praise. Her marriage to co-star Song Joong-ki and their divorce in 2019 drew huge media attention.
