Slow
The first half of The Glory came at a very slow pace. I thought the second half would pick up but it continued to be slow as well.At first the main FL came off as a stalker to me. The way she talked about her tormentor didn't sit well with me. Yeah, they really captured the most heinous bullying ever but I wish there was a stronger sense of revenge than there already was.
I thought the main FL was going to pick off her tormentors one by one but they got off truly light. The second FL who was the main bully didn't get enough 'just deserts' for me. I don't know what I was expecting but I wasn't expecting a slow mediocre burn.
I didn't feel any sympathy for the main FL because in my opinion if you can't at least pick up an object and use it then you deserve what you get. How on earth could these people who got bullied not stand up for themselves?? I was expecting them to rally together and do what needed to be done. Again, it didn't happen. Some of the tormentors got off light, some were helped and in the end two were forgotten.
I did however love Ms. Kang and her small justice in the end.
The last episode as usual was a let down for me. There was too much unnecessary stuff going on. I wanted to see the guy who killed that doctor get what he deserved but it barely happened.
The way it ended made me wonder if they're going to do another sequel. If they do I hope it'll be stronger than what I just watched.

Excellent Part 1, Unsatisfying part 2
Story: I feel like part 1 set us up really well and made it seem like there would be a long, well drawn out and elaborately satisfying revenge. Song Hye Kyo/Moon Dong Eun kept on hinting at what she would do, however; I don't feel like part 2 lived up to the hype of part 1.Song Hye Kyo/Moon Dong Eun was absolutely tortured during her younger days, so I feel like the perpetrators did not receive the same amount of punishment. Even ruining their careers, public image is not effective because they could easily get it back with some money, influence and connections, which they all have. I feel like the perpetrators did not feel the same pain as Song Hye Kyo/Moon Dong Eun. Tbh, the deaths of some of the perpetrators meant that they could never fully repent and atone for their harm done to others, so I feel like that punishment was an easier way out for them.
Acting: This is by far Song Hye Kyo career best performance. She was utterly convincing in showing the deepest and darkest sides of someone who is solely living to exact revenge on her perpetrators. You root for her all the way, but also feel sorry for her that she was tortured and is now living her life just to bring about justice. She also showed great character growth and development by slowly allowing for feelings other than hatred and anger, as she slowly allowed for some love and light into her life. This gives a message that there is hope to live a good life and to look forward to the future, no matter what we have endured in the past. Brilliant acting from all the cast, the perpetrators acted superbly without shame, never holding back their terrible nature. The supporting cast really made you emotionally invested in the story and in seeing justice prevail.
Overall, a solid production that had some excellent moments. Unfortunately I finished the drama feeling so unsatisfied after seeing everything that the perpetrators put the FL and other victims through. Another unsatisfying end to a kdrama with so much potential.

"To me, that's cinema."
Na primeira parte, você vê como a história se inicia, a adolescência de Moon Dong Eun e o caminho que ela trilhou para chegar na sua vingança. Agora na segunda parte, mostra ela realizando a vingança, que foi muito bem planejada, que mesmo que não ocorresse como planejado o outro caminho também chegaria a ruina dos abusadores dela. O mais interessante é que Dong Eun não faz muita coisa com as próprias mãos, ela joga a isca e eles fisgam, brigam pela isca, se machucam entre si, e ela apenas observa o circo pegar fogo. Os abusadores causaram sua própria ruína, ela só direcionou tudo na direção certa para o fim deles. Tudo andou e terminou de maneira satisfatória, não tenho nenhuma reclamação. Os atores todos excelentes, a filmagem maravilhosa, o modo que a história é passada foi cativante e o final perfeito.O melhor roteiro de vingança é de The Glory!

Unpredictable progression; cliche writing
She took her revenge in the most humane way possible, and it was still somewhat satisfying. The group of friends were actually snakes so their own consequences let to their downfall. She never stooped as low as the perpetrators, didn't resort to violence, and mainly took revenge smartly rather than impulsively.The folks who left her so messed up in her teenage years that she lived just to take revenge? Yeah, she dreamed up all sorts of delightful ways to make their lives a living nightmare. No limits, no boundaries—she basically wanted payback with interest which made me think this will be gruesome, violent, wild and scary but it wasn't, so it turned out a bit disappointing.
✔️ The story's progression remained unpredictable, but the perpetrators' side was too dull and bland.
✔️ Song Hye Kyo and Im Ji Yeon acting was extremely on point and impressing, whenever they were together I used get chills, especially Ji Yeon, girl scared the living shit outta me.
❌I get that the director/ writer wanted to play the psychological game, but it was too weak imo, considering the preparators never once regretted their horrendous acts. I think the writer didn't want to put FL as a bad person o r make her commit crime.
❌In the present, the perpetrators were very weak and easily overpowered by the FL, this was the very reason, I felt, their characters were one-dimensional.
The romance, subtle, that's how it was supposed to be, though I felt that even if ML's character had been completely eliminated, the plot wouldn't have been affected much but he was the typaa of rainbow-sunshinee person she wanted in her life.
Overall, I still enjoyed, it's great for a binge, and the actors acting is captivating as well.

As expected I didn't quite get all the details after having that forced break from part I. But I remembered enough to get into the story again. Thank god.
And I still love the whole story. The concept, the storytelling, everything was well planned, well written and played out almost perfectly. I loved the methods the FL used to get her revenge, the people she approached, the way she made them dance at her tune and how everything was slowly unraveled. The characters were well crafted and every actor/actress did a great job with their performing, because it made the story so much more enjoyable.
I don't know why but the husband got some special attention from me. I just wanted to hug him all the time. At the same time he had a strong demeanour which attracted me quite alot, and it only slowly crumbled piece by piece. I really liked his encounters with the FL and it's a pity, that he didn't get more screentime. The only thing I couldn't agree with was his last act. That just didn't fit his character and would have been better to be left out.
The ML was also some interesting character. Being the headsman of the FL worked well despite his bright personality most of the time. Though I do think that the actor could have put some more darkness into his ego, make him more branded. The one thing I couldn't comprehend at all was the love story. It felt forced, I didn't feel the passion. Every bit of intimacy felt out of place, even though I liked the concept of them supporting and using each other.
Definitely something worth re-watching.

Such a thrilling show,
This is my first ever review on this website and i highly recommend the glory to anybody who loves revenge, mystery and thriller. I was very hesitant about watching this show and i would forget my memory to watch it again. This show kept me hooked till the very end. I love how the villains's lives were also portraited as much as the main leads lives. Two of the villains specifically had amazing chemistry and i would love to see them again in another show. Also the romance was kept minimal which i appreciate very much. Song hye kyo and lim ji yeon killed here. I've become a huge fan of them.However i must say this show was a bit confusing at times for example some scenes didnt give proper answers to the previous ones and some questions were kept unanswered. If you get scared easily and bullying/ violence is not your thing then i would say this show might not be for you but overall i think its a beautifully produced and directed show even though i think it would've been better if the main fl punished her bullies with her own hands.
If you want to watch this show or have been thinking about watching it then trust me go watch it rn you wont regret it at all. Its the perfect time to watch the glory now as its November and the glory goes so well wih this weather.
Thanks for reading my review. I hope this helped make up your mind. Have a wondeful day bye ♡

Magistral
Pufff no sé por dónde empezar. Quizás por el final.Tras 18 años de larga espera llega el momento deseado.
Cada una de las historias personales quedan finiquitadas de una manera magistral. Algunas completamente inesperadas, eso sí. Pero muy acorde con los caracteres de los personajes.
Una venganza cocinada a fuego lento.
Drama cien por cien recomendable, si no buscas el clásico romance y sí acción y suspense.
En cuanto a estos ocho últimos capítulos, he de decir que me costó entrar de nuevo en la serie. Esto se puede deber al parón, intencionado, por parte de los señores de Netflix. Cosa que no llego a entender. Pero retomando el hilo, una vez que te enganchas nuevamente ya no hay respiro hasta el desenlace. Capítulo tras capítulo ves cómo la trama va in crescendo.
La elección por parte del encargado de casting para la serie, me parece fantástico, desde la hierática e inmutable Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye-kyo) hasta la entrañable Kang Hyun Nam (Yeom Hye-ran) pasando por el maravilloso Joo Yeo-jeong (Lee Do Hyun). Todos y cada uno de los actores son magníficos.
Y, para ir terminado esta reseña, no podía dejar pasar la noticia relacionada con el director Anh Gil Ho, quien, para echar más leña al fuego, ha sido denunciado por unos antiguos compañeros de colegio debido a un caso de acoso escolar en el que él mismo está involucrado y del que ha pedido perdón.
¡Qué más le falta a este drama! ¿Una buena OST?
