As for me, the plots are very similar! In both series, the main character holds a high position and investigates corruption. The main characters have different titles, but in fact they perform the same function, and there is a poison theme there.

5) both historical

Both main characters of the story return for revenge. Both main characters of the story are smart and plan to defeat their enemy.
If you liked The Vendetta Of An , you'll like The Glory too.

The characters are not black or white but grey. Everyone is clever, not only the leads but also the villains. Twists and turns, but no real romance.

If you watched The Glory and liked the social commentary, the questioning of social rules and the place of women in society, women helping each other and, above all, strong female characters in a more serious tone, I strongly recommend you watch Marvelous Women.
