The Glory

I love the FL leads in both these dramas. They are strong smart female leads, out for revenge. In the Glory, the FL is seeking revenge on her high school bullies. In the Good Partner, the FL is seeking revenge on her cheating husband and his mistress.

Thriller/Mystery /Brutal/Violence

Im Ji Yeon is also a main character in this series.

'Ji Na is a hotel employee who is tracking down her older sister’s disappearance. Although she appears to have a smooth-sailing life, she is a person filled with a great sense of inferiority on the inside. Following the news of her sister Ji Hyun’s disappearance, Ji Na returns to her family’s house, the Rose Mansion, only to be swept up in an unexpected situation. '

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:)

In both series, the topic of violence and the topic of revenge are raised, yes, the circumstances are slightly different, but this does not change the essence! In both series, the main characters have loyal companions who help.

It's giviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing The Glory tbh




because the glory is about revenge and the play a game called "Go" in the glory but in this show they play "Shogi". so many similarities so i say give it a watch because WHY NOT?!

Both dramas are about female leads that get brutally bullied by classmates. Both dramas are quite extreme in terms of portraying that bulling. And both girls take their revenge for what has happened to them in very extreme ways.

Both are intense revenge driven dramas centered around abused women. These women do what they can to get their revenge on those who did them wrong.

Both are South Korean productions and both also have actress Im Ji Yeon in them.

Lies Hidden in my Garden the main characters abuse is primarily as an adult and The Glory the main character’s abuse is primarily as a teenager.

This recommendation should provide you with thrilling narratives and complex characters reminiscent of the themes explored in "The Price of Confession."

Both series are revenge stories where the main female lead becomes the teacher of the child of the person/people she is exacting revenge against.

Both revenge stories. The glory is a Korean modern revenge on high school bullies. The double is a Chinese drama revenge on the people that tried to murder the FL.

Explores similar themes of rich vs poor and how they interact with each other + you'll see a familiar face at the beginning of The Glory.

No Inji reminds me a lot of Moon Dongeun. The two female leads play broken characters whose pain is so visceral on screen and almost tangible. Seo Hyun Jin and Song Hye Kyo depict internal external pain in almost similar ways, to the point I worried for their health. However they also depict incredible strength despite their pain.

The two dramas are very different — keep that in mind — but both center around a carefully planned and executed revenge plot.

Both of shows seem having different plots but from watching the trailer of the glory some common points I think there are:
-They include the psychological and trauma issues of leads from school bullying.
-Dark side hidden in the past of leads.
-Both male leads come from a rich family and are liked by everyone.
-Great chemistry between leads as partners in drama.
-Childhood trauma side happening in school/college: The female leads in the glory and ADSIG was facing school bullying whereas
the male lead in at a distance spring is green was abused by his horrible and evil figure parents.
It is most revenge type for the glory but romantic for ADSIG.
