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:)

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.

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.
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.

- Both have the cinematography that sets the mood with a lot of the scenes filmed in a moody or dark lighting, perfect for thrillers.
- Certain parts feel slow because the writers are trying to show how mundane and sad the protagonist's life is or was.
- Both of these have a plot that feels like a character study.
- Not the same sort of "Revenge" but protagonist seeks solace towards the second half.
- Can guarantee tears.
Enjoy!

Both rich people taking advantage of the poor and needy. The rich have not changed their views about the poor since creation. With all the technology and wisdom and knowledge floating around people are still barbaric and inconsiderate. The rich and their children are always the same. The poor always suffers but at the end who wins? The one that is determined to live and see the best of life.
