The Glory Early Review: Song Hye Kyo delivers a heartbreaking ... (PINKVILLA)

Netflix released The Glory on December 30 and it was a rollercoaster ride. Read ahead to know more.

Rest of the bullies also carry a lot of secrets as we get a peek of it in the first two episodes. Coming with less money than them, they carry resentment as they do things for the rest of them. Jung Ji So is her younger version who lives with parents who never cared for her and a teacher who spent more time caring for himself than giving her the benefit of the doubt. Im Ji Yeon is the same, she shows so much potential even in the first two episodes. His sunny disposition and him falling for her unbeknown to him is a sweet sight to see. Beauty helps her seem sweet but her acting as a bully transports you to the mind of the victim. Park Sung Hoon’s little appearance gives a lot of impact as he takes over the room with his greedy aura. The star of the show, Song Hye Kyo steals your attention from the beginning with her powerful acting and her need for revenge makes the viewer feel the pain she went through. Even so, there are also unique colors that are buried in various parts of the dialogue. The analogy symbolized by Go and morning glory also draws attention. 'The Glory', which attracted attention as writer Kim Eun Sook's first genre challenge and Song Hye-kyo's revenge play, released episodes 1-6 of the 8 episodes of season 1 through the online preview that took place earlier. [The Glory](https://www.pinkvilla.com/topic/the-glory) depicts the story of a woman whose soul was shattered by violence in her childhood, who risked her entire life to carefully prepare for desperate revenge and those who fall into the vortex.

The Glory Review: Song Hye-kyo's Revenge Has Only Just Begun ... (Leisurebyte)

The Glory (더 글로리) is finally here and this revenge Kdrama is the perfect end to 2022 which also makes it a drama to not miss! Directed by Ahn Gil-ho, ...

The Glory part 1 lays the groundwork for a revenge plot that has been intricately planned by Song Hye-kyo’s character while giving us a glimpse of what is to happen in the upcoming season. However, I hope that this drama will also bring an after story of what happens to the victim after she achieves her wish for revenge. This especially holds true for Jung Ji-so and Shin Ye-eun who have brought out the right vibes while playing the roles of a victim and her bully respectively. On the other hand, Im Je-yeon’s villainous character stands out for us all as she shows her cruelty to us along with her fears that her dream may collapse. From the fearless victim out for revenge to a damaged girl who can never forget what happened to her through those years and suffers each day while recollecting those painful memories. The Glory brings the story of a young architect aspirant who after severe bullying has to drop out of school.

Stream It Or Skip It: 'The Glory' On Netflix, Where A Woman Crafts An ... (Decider)

Eighteen years after being scarred both mentally and physically by especially cruel high school classmates, a woman executes her elaborate revenge plan.

Despite the lack of details, The Glory works as a revenge story because you’re immediately drawn to Dong-eun and want to see her get back at those that scarred her for life. In 2004, after the group comes to her flat in a dilapidated building and tortures her all over again, Dong-eun decides to drop out of school, citing the entire group’s violence as the reason. There are class issues at play here; Yeon-jin’s mother is pretty cruel to her while being able to buy or otherwise influence away all of her daughter’s bad deeds, while Dong-eun lives in a slum with parents who find her to be more of a problem than anything else. That’s part of her elaborate plan to get revenge on each and every one of her tormentors. Dong-eun (Jung Ji-so) and Yeon-jin (Shin Ye-eun) are seniors in high school, and Yeon-jin is the ringleader of a group of popular students who have been bullying Dong-eun. In a new Korean drama, a woman executes her complicated plan to get back at her high school tormentors, eighteen years after the fact.

Directed by Ahn Gil-ho and written by Kim Eun-sook, “The Glory” is a Korean drama series centered around a woman in her mid-thirties who is determined to punish ...

And the fact that she went to the same school as Yeon-jin made him doubt her all the more. He was the group’s loser and was used to doing all of the dirty work for the other members in exchange for money. Dong-eun clarified that she was the one who had sent him the mail that confirmed his relationship with Ye-sol. She believed that instead of a lover, she needed an executioner to help her end the lives of those who had destroyed her. Even though he wanted to believe that he was living a good life, he knew that he was living at the mercy of his wealthy friends, particularly Jeon Jae-joon. She threatened Sa-ra to fill a bag with cash only, after which she would be given the drug she was on. All she had to do was use them at the right time and in the right place. She managed to retain her position only because her husband made enormous donations to the channel. She knew what every member of the group was up to, and she intended to only take action when she had enough knowledge and proof to bring them down. She and her friends punished Dong-eun for daring to speak up against the bullying. Dong-eun knew about her dreams, and she waited for her to achieve them. Moon Dong-eun believed in “an eye for an eye,” and the desire to seek revenge kept her alive.

The Glory Season 1 Review - a solid, sometimes uncomfortable revenge drama. This article doesn't contain spoilers.

She’s alternately sympathetic and faintly terrifying since the belief that she’s justified in her actions is so obvious. So that we buy it, the brutality of her torment during her school years is displayed in great detail and at great length, making long stretches of The Glory an unpleasant watch. Through that, the audience gets narration that fills in some storytelling blanks and gives us an excuse to jump backward and forward through time. Not to be totally defeated, Dong-eun focused on her education and career, but the physical and emotional scars were constant reminders that any potential justice would have to be achieved on her own terms. Even when Dong-eun went to the police and the school faculty, she was ignored. It’s never easy to watch a story about this, about someone being unnecessarily and cruelly tormented, but it’s important we do so we understand how commonplace it is in our own reality.
