The Glory

Binge watched on a sleepless night and glad I did!

First off the bullying scenes are quite harrowing some of them bought me to tears There's an underlying message as in all Korean tv/movies about how class rules society shown as how a young Dong Eun has no one to turn to because of her lowly standing and her perpetrators are giving free rein due to their parents wealth and standing in society.

The tension build up and complexity of the characters makes you care what is going to happen something a lot of series forget to do these days.

The acting is superb especially by Song Hye Kyo who plays Dong Eun,she manages to play her anger frustration and sadness brilliantly.

But the real showstopper for me is the little girl who plays Ye Sol...she steals every scene she is in I could watch her all day!!!!!

Well worth watching and cannot wait for march and part 2.

A fascinating watch thanks to the solid script, dynamic directing, and stellar acting. Every single one of the cast members gave their utmost performance, making each episode feel intense and mind-blowing in the right balance. My respect for Kim Eun-sook, she didn't shy away from antagonizing the main characters because truly, you reap what you sow. The only thing I wish they'd done differently was to cast someone older for Joo Yeo-jung for a more balanced pairing with Song Hye-kyo, because let's be real; she had more solid chemistry with Jung Sung-il as Ha Do-yeong than with Lee Do-hyun. Overall, a highly recommended drama. Pinnacle of revenge.

It's a very particular revenge story different from any other one in the market present. Directing, script and casting are all GOOD. Love the the storytelling and Kyo's facial expressions and the atmosphere she exudes especially. The relationship between every characters are interesting to watch and won't feel dull, among which, the chemistry between DongEun and the maid I like the most, like a dim light in the dark night. Humanity warmth and thoughtfulness inadvertently and naturally reveal when DongEun and the maid meet. The Glory is all in cool tone, black, blue, purple, even red is in blue tone, which I really love. And OST cannot be not mentioned. Not only the songs but also the background music are very compatible and appropriate for the story and atmosphere.

Revenge has never been so sweet. It's refreshing and everyone are such great actors. The plot has you at the edge of your seat, wondering how to puzzle pieces will fit together. Its dark but not too dark and has some dark humor as well. I am looking forward to part 2. The characters are complex and interesting. The main character is broken and battered. And and the revenge plot is complex and intricate and don't expect a resolution in 8 episodes. The music the camera angles are just right and makes for very entertaining tv. I definitely recommend watching this show and you will not be disappointed.

This show... can i just say it is such a visceral feast, i don't think i have seen wounds and blood effects look this good?? The story is very engaging with great pacing and a lead that is instantly easy to get behind. Yeon Jin as an antagonist is equally, SO HATEABLE! I enjoyed my time with this very much, it was consistently good with a few standout episodes. Bullying and school violence is a subject that needs to be explored more within media. Also the lighting in this show is insane, casually better looking than any MCU modern project. K dramas take their time and don't hold back on the story they want to tell. Would have liked to see Moon delve into the consequences of her seeking revenge more but the show handles the grey morality of these characters very well and it is a very satisfying experience.
