"I may be the one who set up the board, but they're the ones who destroyed themselves."

The Glory was a drama that I couldn't stop thinking about in between waiting for part 2 to come out. I binged it all in 2 days and it did not disappoint! A dark, emotional drama that will have you kicking your feet, cheering for the "underdog" and smiling with Dong-Eun as her revenge is playing out. I will say there are super heavy scenes in this drama (mostly the first part but some flashbacks in part 2), so keep that in mind before you start a watch. TW: bullying, child death, suicide mention/attempt, etc.

Part 2 was everything I needed it to be and more. Dong-Eun set up her revenge perfectly and every decision lead to one of her bullies' downfall without lifting a finger of her own. Every piece of information is crucial and when it's put out in the open, the group turns on each other all the while knowing Dong-Eun is the one behind it all with help from her sidekicks, Dr. Joo Yeo-Jung and Kang Hyung-Nam. Even they are not the only people helping as it becomes more apparent that Dong-Eun has saved a lot of people in her life who feel the need to pay it back. She has help from all sides and that leads to her finally finding her happiness.

There are so many plot twists and pieces of the puzzle that even I didn't see coming that made this drama even more entertaining to watch. While you're constantly guessing along with the bullies as to how something happened, Dong-Eun is already onto her next target. One thing that I did find super realistic is how none of them felt sorry for her in the slightest. They knew what they did was evil, but felt that they would have no consequences because of their statuses. It was a masterpiece to watch it all crumble down piece by piece, person by person, until Yeon-Jin was a shell of her former self like Dong-Eun felt. She didn't care about anyone but herself and in the end, that's all she has left.

Props to the actors/actresses in this drama because everyone played their part fantastically. Even background characters such as Dong-Eun's coworker were acting their asses off. Im Je-Yeon played Yeon-Jin so well that watching the flip switch within her character was amazing. She could go from staring daggers to screaming and acting psychotic in a split-second. Kim Hi Eo-Ra and Cha Joo Young also stood out to me in particular and I couldn't get enough of them on my screen.

I did need a little more added on Joo Yeo-Jung's revenge because his storyline interested me so much too, but I was okay with what we got even if it was a small portion. I'm hoping that the ending left it open enough to where we could possibly get a whole series/season on that. I need more of Dong-Eun, Yeo-Jung and Hyung-Nam together. Especially Dong-Eun and Yeo-Jung. I knew from Part 1 that I would want them together and I'm so glad that it naturally blossomed. He didn't push for her to love him back and waited for her to feel and say it on her own. I loved that he was the definition of "If he wanted to, he would." Him and Do-Young were stand up guys and I'm glad that they walked away happy too.

This ending did not skip over ANYONE and they all got what karma was coming to them. Every person that they victimized was working behind Dong-Eun and she did it no questions asked. Learning that they not only killed a girl after Dong-Eun, but kept going with bullying people after was sick and added another layer to the story. It made it more satisfying when they all were brought down and So-Hee working behind them in spirit. I'm glad that she got the justice she deserved and wasn't left behind in the fallout. I did wish that we could've seen more of a happy ending with Hyung-Nam, but knowing her child is studying abroad safe was enough for me. I'm glad we got to watch hers and Dong-Eun's friendship blossom and that she got her somewhat happy ending.

I would recommend this drama to literally anyone. After finishing part 2, this one is definitely going on the favorites list. Every moment is a rollercoaster that never slows down until you get to the end smiling and cheering.
