Perfect
This drama is perfect. I watched it 2 time at Netflix.SHK and all actor/actress do their job perfectly.
they are really match with the character based on their role.
Story line also super and very good.
Their character when they are teenager also very good and make it perfect when they are become adult.
logic of each character also make sense.
Usually SHK always play as good character and this is first time she did in revenge drama but she can do it perfectly.
LDH is younger than SHK but he can act cool and look mature enough to SHK.
the rest character also super, include Jung Sung Il, prior i never watch his drama and will start to see his other drama. He act cool and the reason why he choose his wife also make sense. he need someone bright :)
Can't wait for next session!

Smart female lead who is always a step ahead
January 2, 2023THE GLORY is definitely the way to start off 2023 with the KDRAMA world. I felt the angst, the revenge, and all the other fking emotions I got to feel.
It is so satisfying for Song Hye Kyo to comeback in this badass drama. To be honest, I could not care less regarding the lack of romance as it does not put a thing with the plot. So hopeful for season 2, I do wish this series was not split cough cough NETLFIX cough cough.
Anyhow, REVENGE. KARMA. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

Very good !!! ?
Very good premise and story. But I expected still more violence. I expected still severe betrayals, necessary and unavoidable backstabbings. Still very very good.There were few loose ends. But not enough to be noticeable. Few adult scenes. There was no boring instances. Something was going on one plot at any point of the story.
I didn't like how they killed off the teacher. I expected her to do exact same thing to him as he did to her. Eg : FL goes to the old teacher and reminds him who she is. But it's been almost 2 decades so he won't remember. But assuming she is someone who is daughter of a rich parent, invites her into the house. Then he tries to remember hard. After few dialogues she sounds off. Then she decides to remind him who she is, by taking off her watch and slapping him in the face for few meters. (Yeah meters not minutes) Then he remembers and tries to fuck her up. By then his son arrives. Being the pretentious father that he is tries to cover what happened.

What a Way to End the Year - Best Korean Drama of 2022
It was intense, gripping, at times hard to watch but what a ride. I could not stop watching this riveting drama from episode 1 and binged watched from start to finish. Tightly done, there were no unnecessary, repetitive scenes that most often plague Korean dramas.The role of Moon Dong Eun was tailor made for Song Hye Kyo. SHK is a superstar but she's no Meryl Streep, Kim Sun Ah, Ko Hyun Jung or Kim Hye Soo. Her acting range is limited but this role of a cold, calculating and aloof ice queen fitted her to a T. Her calm and unassuming facade was a foil to an otherwise very traumatized, seething with anger, driven to panic attacks persona, a long way from getting over the painful trauma she experienced as a teen-ager.
I appreciate that it is a Netflix series and made for an international audience. The actors seem less inhibited unlike the other dramas where it is obvious that there are some hold backs especially when it comes to intimate scenes. Korea is still conservative so when it comes to those scenes, the audience get a vanilla version with cringeworthy consequences because they're not spontaneously done and very badly choreographed (for lack of a better word). This is the first time I saw Hye Kyo undress.
Great acting from the rest of the cast especially Lee Do Hyun. Although younger than SHK by more than a decade, he had great chemistry with her.
Only negative comment is that the second half is way too long in coming.

Can't wait for season 2!
The story is so gripping at the start, it's hard to stop watching.Then it started to get a little draggy towards the end. So much story from each characters, so I'm expecting constant development of their story. It is still a very good drama, good story with great acting skills, especially the bad characters (including the younger version casts), particularly Yeon Jin, who made you loathe her so much.I wish I waited until the complete episodes are available before watching, now the agony of waiting for season 2!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Vengeful and Beautiful
This was a great start for the year, even though I normally do not enjoy revenge dramas I was convinced to give it a shot even though I was in the middle of my finals while I binge watched it, haha. Why I enjoyed The Glory is because the story takes itself seriously (as it should) and most importantly, the main cast are adults! Not teenagers in highschool, The Glory does not try to romantize revenge but it does not force you to feel sad for bullies either. It is realistic, getting revenge is hard and our Main Lead does a good job showing how much she is ready to sacrifice everything. It is clearly meant for adult viewers.Altought I enjoyed it, (the pacing and the cinematoraphy was great) it still had some flaws. The characters after the time skip lack depth, I would like to see why they are the way they are in the second part coming in March. The OST did not leave an impact for me personally, but it was overall good.

Intense et brillant.
Après "Missing, the other side", je ne pensais pas trouver de si tôt, une petite perle chez les coréens. Inutile de vous répéter toutes les déceptions vues ces derniers mois, j'avais perdu grand espoir de retrouver ce quelque chose qui rendait les Kdramas inoubliables.Je ne suis pas une fan de dramas violents. J'ai le coeur un peu sensible.
Je n'aime pas les dramas où le thème principal est le "harcèlement" à l'école. Trop déprimant.
Je ne vibre pas spécialement devant le jeu de Song Hye Kyo ( A vrais dire, je ne l'ai pas trouvé exceptionnelle ici non plus).
Mais.
J'adore Kim Eun Sook, j'ai regardé et aimé la plupart de ses oeuvres et "Mr Sunshine" est de mes dramas préférés (même s'il y a eu des ratés, comme "The King : Eternal Monarch"). J'ai eu une frayeur car après avoir détesté le dernier des soeurs Hong, j'avais cette petite voix qui me tannait "hahaha, tu verras, c'est nul à c*!". Quel soulagement de voir que la scénariste n'a pas cédé à la tentation de la facilité scénaristique (hein, les soeur Hong?).
Malgré des scènes difficiles à voir, un langage tout sauf châtié cela fut un moment fort et addictif.
Inutile de vous dire que visuellement, le drama est bien réalisé et que l'équilibre des couleurs est maitrisé, passant habilement d'une magnifique scène chatoyante d'automne orangée à la laideur sombre d'une chambre renfermant les pires cauchemars d'une étudiante.
C'est donc un thème qui a déjà été vu et revu mais la dimension prise ici l'est moins. La protagoniste est magistralement écrite. Nous en avons le coeur serré et tout au long des épisodes, nous n'attendons qu'une seule chose, qu'elle les punisse impitoyablement... Son intelligence est habilement exploitée et c'est avec un plaisir immense que nous la voyons déployer petit à petit sa toile gluante. Point de frustration, point d'exclamation, l'héroïne mène son petit monde à la baguette.
Si l'écriture de Moon Dong Eun est brillante, car elle arrive à nous associer à ses idées de vengeance sans nous obliger à nous sentir honteux, les autres personnages ne sont pas en reste. Si dans "Reborn Rich", j'avais trouvé les antagonistes pitoyables et pathétiques, ici, cela ne fut pas le cas. Ce sentiment nauséabond et cette envie de leur taper dessus nous prend à la gorge à chaque fois qu'ils apparaissent. C'est magistralement joués par des acteurs qui ne lésinent pas afin de nous remplir de dégoût et d'effroi.
Mais si Dong Eun apporte ce sentiment de désolation, les antagonistes, du dégout, d'autres personnages contrebalancent tout ceci en illuminant l'écran de leur émouvante maladresse et gentillesse (Kang Hyun Nam), d'un sourire éclatant et d'un humour frais (Joo Yeo Jung) ou encore (mon petit coup de coeur) d'une beauté sobre alliée à une attitude qui en jette (Ha Do Young). Ces personnages équilibrent le drama, qui sans eux serait sûrement trop sombre, trop malsain. Certes, ils ne sont pas tout blanc, cachent des choses ou vivent des choses pas super réjouissantes, mais de par leur attitude, l'ambiance s'en trouve parfois allégée.
Les relations entre tout ce petit monde sont amenées de manière logique et la mise en place ainsi que la progression des liens sont lentes mais naturelles avec une alchimie certaine. J'ai adoré ces petits moments où Dong Eun sourit grâce à eux, se confiant ou se mettant à nue.
Résultat, une première saison réussie! C'est donc avec impatience que j'attend la deuxième partie. Croisons les doigts afin que la qualité soit toujours au rendez-vous.

Highly intriguing
The storyline is truly compelling, drawing watchers in with its intricate plot twists and turns. What sets it apart is the attention to character development. Each character feels authentic and undergoes significant growth as the narrative progresses. Moreover, the way each layer of the story is revealed adds depth and complexity.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Good Enough
Korean Drama " The Glory Season One " is a revenge drama with an intense story.The series doesn't shy away from showing the viewer some pretty horrific bullying scenes, hence, making the revenge plot even more necessary and thrilling. The blending of the two time lines, the past and the present. was well presented, without causing confusion and slowly revealing the true horors of the lead's past.
The sweet relationship between the two leads, moreover, was a nice touch, giving the drama some breathing, as well as a chance to the main character to feel more human.
The performances, finally, were all great and what made this drama to stand out.
So, overall, seven and a half out of ten.

What goes around, comes around
"Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, fracture for fracture. The one who inflicted the injury must suffer the same. I don't know. That sounds too fair to me."What a remarkable series. The direction, cinematography, story, acting and especially dialogues were outstanding. I even noted down some of them. The story is so complelling to watch and the way the events unfold is amazing. It shows you the true face of misery. What helplessness feels like and that your past will always come to haunt you. That everyone has their inner demons that they are either fighting or have accepted. How always pushing someone to the edge of their limits can drive them mad sooner or later. How much dire consequences can your actions have on someone else and certainly, on you.
