The Glory

This show... can i just say it is such a visceral feast, i don't think i have seen wounds and blood effects look this good?? The story is very engaging with great pacing and a lead that is instantly easy to get behind. Yeon Jin as an antagonist is equally, SO HATEABLE! I enjoyed my time with this very much, it was consistently good with a few standout episodes. Bullying and school violence is a subject that needs to be explored more within media. Also the lighting in this show is insane, casually better looking than any MCU modern project. K dramas take their time and don't hold back on the story they want to tell. Would have liked to see Moon delve into the consequences of her seeking revenge more but the show handles the grey morality of these characters very well and it is a very satisfying experience.

Revenge has never been so sweet. It's refreshing and everyone are such great actors. The plot has you at the edge of your seat, wondering how to puzzle pieces will fit together. Its dark but not too dark and has some dark humor as well. I am looking forward to part 2. The characters are complex and interesting. The main character is broken and battered. And and the revenge plot is complex and intricate and don't expect a resolution in 8 episodes. The music the camera angles are just right and makes for very entertaining tv. I definitely recommend watching this show and you will not be disappointed.

American TV take note. The Koreans are producing some outstanding films and TV shows and The Glory is a shining example of this.

This is the first Korean TV series my wife has seen and with the last episode still to play out, she is already a fan of them.

The Glory achieves exactly what you want from a TV show like this... something you look forward to watching at the end of a busy day. It's so engaging that we have been watching 2 to 3 episodes each night, with almost no distraction from our mobile/cells phone.

The story its self has several levels to it and goes deeper than what I was expecting... and where I would normally expect a twist (had it been an American series) The Glory show catches me off guard by playing out exactly as it should do.

The sole reason for removing 1 star is it does feel a little drawn out at times, but oddly, it also works as at no time did I feel bored watching it.

As a result The Glory comes Highly Recommended!

Binge watched on a sleepless night and glad I did!

First off the bullying scenes are quite harrowing some of them bought me to tears There's an underlying message as in all Korean tv/movies about how class rules society shown as how a young Dong Eun has no one to turn to because of her lowly standing and her perpetrators are giving free rein due to their parents wealth and standing in society.

The tension build up and complexity of the characters makes you care what is going to happen something a lot of series forget to do these days.

The acting is superb especially by Song Hye Kyo who plays Dong Eun,she manages to play her anger frustration and sadness brilliantly.

But the real showstopper for me is the little girl who plays Ye Sol...she steals every scene she is in I could watch her all day!!!!!

Well worth watching and cannot wait for march and part 2.

You think Penthouse: War In Life (2020) or The World Of The Married (2020) was brutal enough?! Well, then you'll have to see this one. First 30 minutes of 1st episode was really hard to watch, not because it's bad, but because it's so good potraying how brutal high school bullies can be.

And forget Song Hye Kyo as a "South Korean Melodrama Queen". Here she's poignant and dark due to her character's constant bullying in high school. You'll only see her smile after 20 minutes into the 2nd episode and laugh after mid 5th episode. Yeah, that's how bleak The Glory is.

And season finale, 8th episode was a cliffhanger. Season 2 will be aired on March 2023. I can't wait to see how glorious Dong Eun revenge would be!

Must See 9/10.
