Even though they are c and kdrama from the name to the plot and how is female center is VERY similar. Both have crazy revenge plots: how the fl comes back years later for her revenge and the ml helps the fl with revenge. Both have minimal romance, but the chemistry and the intense between the leads is beautiful. If you like the K version, you will most likely like the historical C version.

Although Miss Gu is a cdrama that isn’t nearly as dark as the glory, nor does it have high quality cinematography BUT it has the following similarities:
The Glory:
FL plans for many years to take revenge & punish the group of bullies that tortured her in school. She gets close to the husband of the main villain and has a well calculated plan.
Miss Gu:
FL plans revenge for 8 years on the group of bullies that framed and ultimately drove her brother into su1c1de. She also gets close to the partner of one of the bullies (moves in across).
And has a step-by-step plan to ruin the bullies.
In both dramas the revenge is both mental and physical and the FLs are one step ahead.
They both waited until the bullies had achieved or are close to achieving their ideal life, to then begin their revenge.
There is slight romance in both too and while both FLs are cold and calculated, in The Glory the fl is traumatized and it’s more about physical school violence.
The story telling is different but the female revenge saga was similar:)
