The Glory Part 2

The Glory – 10/10

This drama had me hooked from start to finish. The revenge? Absolutely satisfying. Every single thing was planned so well, and I loved how calculated and patient Dong-eun was. She didn’t just want revenge—she wanted justice, and she made sure they felt every bit of what they did to her. Slow, painful, and absolutely deserved.

Every character had depth, and even the villains were so well-written that I hated them with my whole soul. Yeon-jin? Pure evil, but an amazing character. Every time she got cornered, I felt pure satisfaction. And don’t even get me started on Jae Jun and Sa Ra—I was counting down the seconds until they got what was coming to them.

But what really stuck with me was Yeo Jung’s revenge. His pain was just as deep as Dong-eun’s, and the way he stayed by her side, waiting for his turn, was insane. He was sweet, kind, and gentle with her, but when it came to his own revenge, you could see how dark and broken he was. And I loved that. I just wish we got to see more. His revenge had so much buildup, and while it was satisfying, I needed another season to see him fully unleash all of that rage.

The cinematography, the OST, the acting— all top-tier. Song Hye-kyo and Lee Do-hyun were incredible. Their dynamic was so well done because it wasn’t just romance—it was two broken people choosing each other and walking through hell together.

I just wish we had gotten one more season to fully see Yeo-jung’s revenge play out. He deserved that closure just as much as Dong-eun. But even with that, this was one of the best revenge dramas ever.

Man, now I really want to put on some red lipstick, too.

As expected I didn't quite get all the details after having that forced break from part I. But I remembered enough to get into the story again. Thank god.

And I still love the whole story. The concept, the storytelling, everything was well planned, well written and played out almost perfectly. I loved the methods the FL used to get her revenge, the people she approached, the way she made them dance at her tune and how everything was slowly unraveled. The characters were well crafted and every actor/actress did a great job with their performing, because it made the story so much more enjoyable.

I don't know why but the husband got some special attention from me. I just wanted to hug him all the time. At the same time he had a strong demeanour which attracted me quite alot, and it only slowly crumbled piece by piece. I really liked his encounters with the FL and it's a pity, that he didn't get more screentime. The only thing I couldn't agree with was his last act. That just didn't fit his character and would have been better to be left out.

The ML was also some interesting character. Being the headsman of the FL worked well despite his bright personality most of the time. Though I do think that the actor could have put some more darkness into his ego, make him more branded. The one thing I couldn't comprehend at all was the love story. It felt forced, I didn't feel the passion. Every bit of intimacy felt out of place, even though I liked the concept of them supporting and using each other.

Definitely something worth re-watching.

Such a thrilling show,

This is my first ever review on this website and i highly recommend the glory to anybody who loves revenge, mystery and thriller. I was very hesitant about watching this show and i would forget my memory to watch it again. This show kept me hooked till the very end. I love how the villains's lives were also portraited as much as the main leads lives. Two of the villains specifically had amazing chemistry and i would love to see them again in another show. Also the romance was kept minimal which i appreciate very much. Song hye kyo and lim ji yeon killed here. I've become a huge fan of them.

However i must say this show was a bit confusing at times for example some scenes didnt give proper answers to the previous ones and some questions were kept unanswered. If you get scared easily and bullying/ violence is not your thing then i would say this show might not be for you but overall i think its a beautifully produced and directed show even though i think it would've been better if the main fl punished her bullies with her own hands.

If you want to watch this show or have been thinking about watching it then trust me go watch it rn you wont regret it at all. Its the perfect time to watch the glory now as its November and the glory goes so well wih this weather.

Thanks for reading my review. I hope this helped make up your mind. Have a wondeful day bye ♡

The Glory: 5/18/2024 ~ 5/30/2024

I know this show was separated into two parts but because of the time when I watched it I consider it as a whole since it does not have separate seasons. The story itself was something that I had never watched before so I went in not really knowing what to expect, minus the fact that people really liked the show. After watching it can see why since I also love the show as well. The FL was simply a badass and did not wavier when it came to take her revenge which is something I really like. It not only the fact that she didn’t wavier but stuck to what she planned to do, making sure they all felt the world around them crumble. The thing I loved however the most was the fact that while there was romance they did not try to make it a key point but instead a very minor point, and also it was not pointless. It wasn’t like she fell in love and took out her revenge separately but instead the ML stood by her side and helped take her revenge. Which as twisted as it sounds made their love story all the better even though it was barely shown. Now on to the heavier topic which is the bullying it talks about, it sad how realistic it can be in not only the fact it happens but how it get easily brushed aside with out anyone caring.

Fell off after season 1

Since season 1 was very good (I gave it an 8.5) I cant give this less than a 7.5 but it's underwhelming compared to season 1. I initially dropped it until episode 6 but finished until the end just because of the antagonists' acting (which was good from the beginning to the end) and I was curious about the ending which disappointed me.

Positives:
already mentionned

Negatives:
- Song Hyekyo's acting was bland. She had only one expression all the time. I only felt empathetic to her younger self. She's the only reason I rooted for her character (she did a great job as well as the young versions of the antagonists). Same thing for PYJ's husband, at the beginning like many people, I was rooting for him to be with MDE but I guess their chemistry hided his subpar acting skills.
- Who casted Lee Dohyun should be fired. Not only his acting was annoying (I loved him in 18 Again but he had the same expressions there and here even though it doesn't fit, so I guess this role didn't suit him at all), his chemistry with Song Hyekyo, according to my personal chemistry rating scale, was an F. They had no visual chemistry due to the 14 year age gap (and then they dare say that JYJ is older than her). When they kissed at the end I was mad. He's like her nephew and she never even loved him the whole series. I don't understand why anyone would cast Lee Dohyun. He's even more annoying than Song Hyekyo even though he had better acting.
- As someone else said, the FL had a lot of plans in season 1 but in season 2, she got away really easily with luck, and didn't suffer at all. It was boring that PYJ was always the one to lose. Junjae also should have suffered wayy more.
- I would've liked it if Junjae ended up in jail like PYJ, instead of dying peacefully. He should've paid the consequences to his actions. I thought Moon Donggeun was gonna reveal that he raped Yoon Sohee and PYJ cheated on her husband with him.
- What about Choi Hyejeong? Losing her voice isn't enough. And as the doctor said there was a small chance that she could find her voice again.
- Would've wanted to see Lee Sara in jail and Kang Hyeonnam with her daughter again.
- Why didn't we get to see JYJ's revenge on the killer of his father?
- And many other complaints. I'm generous to give it a 7.5 just because of the first season.

um dos melhores doramas do ano

fazia muito tempo que não assistia um drama coreano tão bem feito quanto esse. por ser da netflix, não botei muita expectativa quando comecei, apesar de ter ouvido falar muito bem e me interessado pelo plot. foi uma surpresa quando me vi assistindo 3, 4 episódios num piscar de olhos.

a trama é muito bem elaborada e envolvente. a história do dongeun, contada entre idas ao passado e presente foi uma ótima forma de interligar todos os pontos. praticamente não há furos no roteiro! além disso, mesmo não sendo o foco do drama, o romance entre a dongeun e yeojeong foi realmente incrível!

algo a se destacar é o final, que foi bem trabalhado e não ficou a "deus dará". já cansei de ver doramas com histórias ótimas, desenvolvimento incrível, um elenco maravilhoso, e chegar no último episódio com um final mal planejado que deu a parecer que foi feito às pressas. the glory passa justamente o contrário. todos os personagens tiveram um fim, e de bônus ainda tivemos o início da vingança do yeojeong.

enfim, definitivamente uma obra digna de um 10/10.

Si la pure vengeance est votre dada....

J'ai franchement apprécié ce drama (à petite dose tout de même). Malgré tout, il m'a mise mal à l'aise et les émotions que j'ai dû subir n'ont pas été tout le temps agréable.
Si je devais donner une note pour la réalisation, cela serait sûrement plus élevé. Tout a été étudié afin de nous plonger dans une horreur quotidienne, celui de la maltraitance. On aime. Ou pas. Les couleurs, si ce n'est pas ce que je préfère, ont une palette crue, entrainant ainsi le spectateur vers une réalité que l'on sait réelle. La progression de l'intrigue est parfaitement maitrisée et nous amène petit à petit vers l'enfer des agresseurs devenant victimes. C'est cohérent et pas un seul moment, où nous nous sentons frustré par la vengeance de Moon Dong Eun. Bien au contraire, peu d'obstacles se mettront sur son chemin, tout ou presque suivra un cours inéluctable, pour bien souvent le plus grand plaisir du spectateur. La vengeance de Moon Dong Eun est bien préparée et minutieusement orchestrée. Il nous apparait évident qu'elle ne pouvait qu'en sortir vainqueur.

Ce que je pourrais reprocher à cette vengeance, c'est la question de la moralité. Se servant des autres comme d'un outils bien affûtés, Moon Dong Eun ne change que progressivement et lentement par s'attacher à ceux qui décident volontairement de l'aider. J'ai trouvé extrême de laisser ..... continuer à se faire violenter par ..... afin de la sauver de sa vie misérable. Je me vois mal dire à une copine "laisse toi violenter par ton mec, on arrivera à le coincer ensuite", c'est assez horrible....
J'ai donc moyennant apprécié ce type de personnage. Sa vengeance n'est pas vraiment à débattre, mais c'est peut-être sa façon de procéder, cette "jouissance" de voir ses agresseurs souffrir qui peuvent déranger et se servir des victimes d'agressions qui l'entourent afin d'assouvir le-dit vengeance. C'est une question de ressentie personnelle bien sur. Mais je pense avoir plus de mal à "approuver" ceux qui se vengent du mal qu'on leur a fait, c'est une façon un peu détourné de se rendre justice pour soi-même. Alors, certes, on me dira si personne ne le fait pour vous, qui le fera? Et puis on argumentera que sa grande souffrance ne lui a pas permis de s'ouvrir aux autres pendant x années...C'est vrais aussi.
Il n'empêche que ce genre de haut fait n'est pas ce qui me donne envie de voir les "méchants" se faire punir. J'ai une préférence pour les héros au grand coeurs comme dans "Weak Hero Class 1" ou encore comme dans "Nirvana In Fire". Encore une fois, c'est une question de goût personnel. Et puis, la punition est....méritée mais tellement violente qu'on en ressent du dégoût. Ce qui est marrant, je n'ai pas du tout ressenti cela pour "Weak Heros Class 1"...

Les personnages sont plutôt bien écrits et magistralement interprétés, il n'y a rien à redire.
Ce qui rend par contre le visionnage un peu malaisant sont ces deux dimensions qui hantent le drama : nous avons le groupe de tarés totalement imbu de leur personne et de l'autre les victimes de la société....C'est un peu glauque, nous doutons même que des gens normaux pourraient cohabiter dans ce monde. Dans"Weak Hero Class 1", bien que cela traite d'un sujet grave de harcèlement, deux de nos protagonistes vivent une vie "normale", avec les problèmes du quotidien certes, mais pas les traumatismes violents que connaissent les protagonistes de "The Glory". Difficile donc de se sentir détendu en visionnant le drama, les scènes de violences sont partout : le viol, le harcèlement, la non assistance à personne à danger, les violences conjugales et familiales, le meurtre violent d'un père, le meurtre, l'infidélité...bref, vous l'aurez compris, c'est un drama qui n'est pas pour tout le monde, adulte compris. Le langage y est d'ailleurs plus cru, moins châtié, les images plus dénudés que ce qu'on a l'habitude de voir chez les coréens (Ah Netflix...), les violences ne vous seront pas épargnées, et parfois je me suis demandé si tout ce "voyeurisme" était nécessaire et justifié.... Dans "Taxi driver", ce que vivent les victimes ne sont pas aussi tant dévoilés, cela ne m'a nullement empêché de ressentir la douleur, la honte, la frustration, la colère...Encore une fois, c'est un avis personnel.

Les relations : Un autre reproche. Bien que magnifiquement construit et réalisé, je n'ai pas eu d'empathie pour Moon Dong Eun, je me suis donc moins trouvée impliqué dans sa quête de vengeance. C'est un personnage qui de par son épreuve s'est enfermé dans un monde de douleur et de vengeance. Ses relations avec les autres n'ont pas éveillé en moi de l'intérêt autre que la progression de l'intrigue. Je n'ai pas réellement attendu une romance entre Moon Dong Eun et Joo Yeo Jung. S'il y en a une, tant mieux, s'il n'y en a pas, ce n'est pas grave. J'ai pourtant apprécié Joo Yeo Jung qui apporte une touche d'humour noir dans cet univers de malade, mais sa romance avec Dong Eun n'est pas de celle qui fait battre les coeurs. Cela fut un peu décevant en ce qui me concerne, j'ai tellement adoré "Mr Sunshine"....
j'aurais peut-être aimé une romance interdite, plus intense, avec Ha Do Young. Ha Do Young est d'ailleurs mon personnage préféré. Il me faisait penser à Kim Hui Seong dans "Mr Sunshine", celui qu'on sacrifie, le dommage collatéral. Sa droiture et son intégrité ont apporté un souffle de normalité dans ce déchainement de haine et de colère. C'est aussi pourquoi je n'ai pas compris son dernier geste, qui au final a cette volonté de nous montrer que nous sommes tous des monstres?
Oui, c'est ce que ce j'en ressens, ce que je comprends, c'est que l'être humain est un monstre. Assoiffé de vengeance, de luxure, de pouvoir, de douleur, l'homme peut du jour au lendemain se transformer en un monstre.

On aime ou pas. On applaudit ou pas. En ce qui me concerne, je ne nie pas la qualité du drama que cela soit dans sa réalisation ou dans son interprétation. Mais ce n'est absolument pas le type de drama qui me donne envie de le voir un jour ensoleillé avec mari et ados en mode "je ne peux plus m'arrêter tellement c'est grave bien". Chéri quant à lui a bien plus apprécié le drama.

Atuação e história que merecem o sucesso.

O final foi ótimo, só fiquei sem entender a cena ainda da xamã do episódio 15 lá.
Eles dois são ótimos juntos, o final de cada personagem foi perfeito. Muita química nas cenas, os atores deram o nome nos personagens.
Só senti falta da mãe indo ver a filha nos EUA 🥲, queria esse final feliz pras duas.
Realmente não consegui acreditar que a dong Eun ia se matar depois de tudo, depois de passar anos planejando a vingança e a maior delas seria ela continuar vivendo a vida dela sabe? Recomeçar e tentar ser feliz (ao lado do nosso médico lindo!) Espero que ele consiga a vingança dele, mas na minha fanfic ele consegue e eles dois se casam, é isso.
A segunda parte do drama foi mil vezes melhor, achei completamente desnecessário dividir em dois, perder o êxtase e a emoção um pouco mas com as cenas você recupera a vontade de continuar assistindo.
Palmas para hye kyo, porque essa mulher merece demais, a atuação nesse drama foi espetacular! Do hyun lindo, quero ser sua carrasca! Os dois foram incríveis juntos.

Je ne crois pas avoir assez de mots pour dire combien j’ai adoré ce drama ! «The Glory» aborde des sujets difficiles, la violence, scolaire ou non, le fait que tant de gens ferment les yeux sur ce qui se passe, pour une raison ou une autre. Mais surtout, il aborde la vie de la victime, les conséquences pour elle, et dans ce cas-ci, la revanche de celle-ci. Une revanche non pas physique, violente, mais une lente, et méticuleusement planifiée. L’histoire de ce drama est passionnante, prenante, intrigante. Les acteurs, eux, ont été absolument magistraux, interprétant leurs personnages avec brio ! Je recommande chaudement ce drama à mon tour, je sais que moi, je n’hésiterai pas à le voir de nouveau !

Ótimo drama de vingança

Não tenho muito o que falar dessa parte 2, porque me agradou muito. No geral, é o que eu espero de uma série de vingança. Essa série tem suas falhas sim, como o final aberto sobre a vingança do protagonista masculino, gostaria que eles tivessem mostrado o que aconteceu. Outra coisa que não me agradou é o fato da vilã ter cometido os dois assassinatos, porque na parte 1 a série fez um mistério de quem tinha matado quem, e na parte 2 a pessoa mais óbvia era a assasina. Eu esperava q a parte 2 fosse impactante tanto quanto a parte 1, mas n foi. No geral, recomendo muito!.
