Song Hye-kyo's Netflix drama set in 1960s–80s Korean entertainment world, reuniting with writer Noh Hee-kyung
Song Hye-kyo is joining Netflix's 'Slowly, Intensely' (working title), reuniting with writer Noh Hee-kyung for their third collaboration.
Song Hye-kyo's next role is set decades in the past
Song Hye-kyo is heading back to Netflix. The actress will star in the platform's original series 천천히 강렬하게 — Slowly, Intensely — currently using a working title. She plays Min-ja, a woman who built an unusually resilient inner self after a childhood defined by hardship.
The drama spans the Korean entertainment industry from the 1960s through the 1980s, a period rife with brutality and violence. It follows the growth of people who threw themselves into the pursuit of success with nothing to their name.
Third time working with Noh Hee-kyung
This marks Song Hye-kyo's third collaboration with writer Noh Hee-kyung. They previously worked together on 그들이 사는 세상 (The World They Live In) and 그 겨울, 바람이 분다 (That Winter, the Wind Blows). A period drama set inside the entertainment industry, written by Noh Hee-kyung, with Song Hye-kyo attached—that's the kind of pairing that gets drama fans paying attention.
On September 16, Song Hye-kyo shared photos from an event with a French beauty brand. She wore a nude-toned tube-top long dress with dense three-dimensional embellishments. (The 44-year-old continues to be a brand's first call for a reason.)
No premiere date has been announced.
