The Glory
The Glory
A woman lives for absolute revenge against her childhood bullies who destroyed her life.
Review by someone who now thinks maybe their high school trauma wasn’t that bad but also… don’t test me
If you’ve ever wanted to watch a woman weaponize her trauma with the precision of a chess grandmaster in stilettos, The Glory is your new religion.
This is not your average K-drama.
There’s no cute umbrella kisses. No coffee shop meet-cutes.
Just pure, slow, ice-cold vengeance in a school uniform-turned power suit.
Song Hye-kyo plays Moon Dong-eun, a girl who was brutalized in high school—daily, publicly, with horrifying creativity—while the world watched and shrugged. Parents? Useless. Teachers? Complacent. Society? Absent.
So what does she do?
She waits.
She becomes an adult.
And then…
she builds an entire revenge campaign like it’s a Fortune 500 company.
This is not “teehee she got her ex back.”
This is psychological warfare with a skincare routine.
She doesn’t just go for the jugular—she hands her enemies the knife, the map, and a shovel and lets them ruin themselves.
The villains? DEMONS.
You hate them. Deeply. Righteously.
And when they start getting got, piece by piece, ohhh baby—you relish it. You throw a party in your soul every time one of them cracks.
And the allies she gathers? Weird little gremlin angels. Ride or die types. Love them.
This drama is not relaxing.
It’s not soothing.
It’s rage therapy.
You’ll want to punch a wall and cry and hug your teenage self and write “REVENGE” in lipstick on a mirror.
And yet… you’ll feel lighter. Cleansed.
If you’ve ever been hurt and dreamed of justice?
This is for you.
Pour yourself something strong and press play.
