The Glory

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.

It is one of the best k-dramas in recent years I feel like the plot of the story is incredible and how she executes her revenge is it's just so satisfying to watch seeing her executing and how she works just a masterpiece. They tried to slow her down but she was playing chess while the others were playing checkers.likee she was always 2 steps ahead of them. She deserved her glory and her bullies got what they deserved. The storyline is wonderful the development of the story is awesome. I love how people were willing to help her to reach her goal and how she was so determined not only to avenge herself but her classmate who was bullied. She is so admirable. I love her character and the development of the story.10/10, would recommend it if you like thrillers and a little bit of cutesy stuff in between, also the acting was impeccable on all parts every one completed their assignment.

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.

A fascinating watch thanks to the solid script, dynamic directing, and stellar acting. Every single one of the cast members gave their utmost performance, making each episode feel intense and mind-blowing in the right balance. My respect for Kim Eun-sook, she didn't shy away from antagonizing the main characters because truly, you reap what you sow. The only thing I wish they'd done differently was to cast someone older for Joo Yeo-jung for a more balanced pairing with Song Hye-kyo, because let's be real; she had more solid chemistry with Jung Sung-il as Ha Do-yeong than with Lee Do-hyun. Overall, a highly recommended drama. Pinnacle of revenge.

It's a very particular revenge story different from any other one in the market present. Directing, script and casting are all GOOD. Love the the storytelling and Kyo's facial expressions and the atmosphere she exudes especially. The relationship between every characters are interesting to watch and won't feel dull, among which, the chemistry between DongEun and the maid I like the most, like a dim light in the dark night. Humanity warmth and thoughtfulness inadvertently and naturally reveal when DongEun and the maid meet. The Glory is all in cool tone, black, blue, purple, even red is in blue tone, which I really love. And OST cannot be not mentioned. Not only the songs but also the background music are very compatible and appropriate for the story and atmosphere.
