A Miss Despite the Potential
I went into The Glory mainly for the male lead, especially after really enjoying him in Love in the Clouds but this one just didn’t hold up for me. I ended up dropping it midway.
I might be in the minority here, but I didn’t quite see the chemistry between the leads and for a story that leans so heavily on that connection, it felt like a noticeable gap. The female lead is undeniably beautiful and has presencebut together, the pairing felt mismatched rather than effortless.
The story started with promisebut it didn’t fully draw me in. At times, the pacing felt unevenand the emotional payoff didn’t land as strongly as I expected.
One thing that consistently pulled me out, though, was the visual treatment..the lighting felt overly pale and washed out which flattened scenes.
Overall, it had the elements to work but the execution just didn’t come together for me.
