Both show deals wanting revenge for the greater peace of mind to whomever is involved........ notable performance by all the leads in the shows
Not necessarily the same revenge plot.

Similarities~ in both the dramas the MLs become headsmen for the FLs. In The Glory the ML becomes her executioner, while in MPD the ML becomes the FL's hunting hound (hence the name Doberman).

Both main characters experienced a loss of innocence at a young age, and make it their life’s mission to exact their revenge on those who ruined their lives. Both love interests partake in the revenge and have a connection with the main characters in a five-degrees-of-separation-type-of-way.
Both main characters are wicked smart and use their skills in the best way possible. They have a ragtag group of people who help them in their pursuit for revenge and justice. At times, both MCs are morally ambiguous.

Although Miss Gu is a cdrama that isn’t 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. Even in adulthood the bullies are still a (dysfunctional) friend group that are intertwined and have affairs.
There is slight romance 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:)
