“The Glory” Star Kim Hieora Is Unrecognizable After Her Shocking Transformation For “The Uncanny Counter 2”
K-Drama The Glory has become a huge hit worldwide primarily due to its intriguing storyline about a woman who plans to get revenge after previously being bullied in school.
The same production company, Studio Dragon, also gave us another hit K-Drama, The Webtoon-based The Uncanny Counter, which is soon getting a second season.
One actor appears in both hit K-Dramas, and it’s none other than the multitalented Kim Hieora (also romanized as Kim Hi Eo Ra). You might recognize her from not only The Glory but also Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Bad and Crazy.
In The Glory, Kim Hieora portrayed Lee Sa Ra, one of the five bullies that bullied Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo). While we can all agree that this character is hateful, Kim Hi Eora has greatly impressed viewers with her acting skills.
Now, Kim Hieora has proved her skills yet again with her role in The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch. She is portraying a baddie yet again, but she is unrecognizable…
Kim Hieora has transformed into the shocking and eccentric villain, Gelly (also romanized as Kellie), an evil spirit who has been described as “a character of pure evil who enjoys murder without any reason.” She is one of the main villains that Counter Squad will go up against.
Her blonde buzzcut, piercings (especially that lip ring), daring fur coat, and eyepatch are unique and unlike any of Kim Hieora’s previous stylings. We low-key love it! She looks like such a bad*ass.
Fans are eagerly anticipating The Uncanny Counter 2 based on the teasers and stills released so far, and we’re especially looking forward to the unrecognizable Kim Hieora’s performance.
