Interesting but slightly lagging
The story telling is very quick to establish the victim and the torture she endured but the story wasn't paced in the next 7 episodes. Weak Hero series 1 was very meticulous in each episode that the whole season was some how balanced between each characters and each characters were clearly defined. But here it seems they wanted this to drag so as to make it to the 2nd season(9 -16 episodes). The insignificant details were boring.Acting wise they did a good job. FL is a legend in K-drama industry so its kind of expected. Maybe too much is expected? I have never seen SHK losing composure in acting though. Production also seems amazing and BGM is fine. Sometimes it does feel like they pushed it too far with the gory details for the drama's popularity.
Nonetheless SHK fans won't be disappointed.

Overly slow burn revenge show
First thing, the acting of the younger "bullying" cast was good. The older cast tried in general but were lacking in some aspects.The story itself makes me watch it longer, as someone who has experience with bullying I want to watch all the bullies pay for their crimes, but the pace is so slow and even after these eight episodes not much has happened.
Personally, I believe that a revenge drama especially of this kind needs to be fast paced and it needs to show results to the viewers that something is being done. But, it fails from the very beginning when the female lead goes to introduce herself to the perpetrators and tell them she wants revenge, & even some of her plans and motives (indirectly/directly) to them, like who does that? Tell the people you want vengeance over the truth?
I also disliked the addition of the male lead, after everything she's faced, do the writers really think that she is in need of a love interest? And the way that after she told him what happened he was immediately "who do I kill for you" he basically left his long time job and changed city to be with her (after she has repeatedly avoided his message and has shown basically 0.0001 interest in him) it felt very far fetched and cringe. It also kind of feels like he is a different entity in behaviour from the rest of the cast, (too cheerful, too polite, and kind) and his character has been pretty useless except teaching her how to play GO.

Even if you don't like revenge/thriller genres, WATCH THIS!
Wow. Just wow. I have no words to describe this wonderful drama. First off, I would like to start out by saying that I don't typically watch revenge/thriller dramas. My watchlist is mostly full of cute rom-coms and historical dramas. But the Glory peeked my interest. So I put it in my watchlist and decided to watch it later. After a while I forgot about it while I was busy watching my other dramas. But recently I've been in a drama slump where I don't know what to watch and want something new to try. The first thing that came to my mind was this show. So I started it.... and absolutely loved it. Trust me on this. I don't watch this type of genre because it bores me and I always find myself forwarding through the show. But that is not the case here.It has action, it has mystery, romance, revenge, etc. I could not stop myself from watching it. And yes, yes I did binge it. This drama was that good. The actors did an amazing job playing their roles, and I could not look away. I definitely recommend this to EVERYONE. Yes everyone. Even the ones that are not into this type of genre. I gave it a chance and I am so glad I did. Even though it was a bit late. 1000/10 recommend.

WOW
WOW is all I can say for this Kdrama. The acting, the writing, the production, the cinematography was just WOW. Amazing job to the entire cast and crew. Song Hye-kyo has proved once again why she is a famous actress of Kdramas, love how her character could show so many emotions without actually showing them. This series is quite good for binge watching, as you'll get hooked on the first episode.The story of a woman who suffered severe school violence in high school and also how she's risking her life to complete her revenge. The plot is really good and the characters are well portrayed. One of the best dramas I've watched, as the message behind it is so real and affects a lot of peoples lives both childhood and adulthood. The bullies must be taught a lesson. Stop school violence and give others a chance. Some people try to play God and make sure others will never smile. Trauma us also heavily focused on this show. I can't wait till season 2 comes out!

Gripping
This was a fantastic drama! It was so Gripping, it keeps you on the edge of your seat, full of suspense for what’s to come! This is by far one of the Best Revenge dramas I’ve watched! I loved the cast and Hyo, did an amazing job! You can’t help but root for her and her revenge on all those who tormented her. I will say it can be hard to watch at times, the school abuse/violence is horrific. It’s even more disturbing that things like this happen and people do get away with it. The ending of episode 8 left me dying for more, I’m hoping the tables are about to turn.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
IMPACTADA
Terminei a primeira parte ontem e caraca, demais é pouco para descrever essa obra de arte, de verdade merece muito o reconhecimento que está tendo, já esperava que fosse bom, mas tá mais que bom ta MARAVILHOSO que atuação, que enredo, ansiosa pra terminar com todas as vinganças.Já dei o play na segunda parte, e não vejo a hora da diva acabar com a raça desses seres, que aliás são uns gatos né, a netflix nem pra colocar uns vilões feios rsrs, aí fica um pouco difícil não é mesmo?
Mas falando sério, será que ta cedo demais pra esse dorama ser considerado o melhor do ano? porque a entrega que ele ta dando é fora do normal.

Probably one of the best dramas of 2023
This drama is one of a kind, the storyline, characters just wow, it's probably the first drama where I've binge-watch it in one day.I did have to look away from the bullying scenes since it was too graphic.
The cast and crew did an excellent job in this drama.
After I finished watching the drama I watched the behind the scenes and it's so weird to see the "bully's" being so nice to Dong Eun I was screaming ITS A TRAP!!!!! RUN DONG EUN!!!!! As you can see from what I've said it just proves what an amazing job the actors did to portray so evil.
I'm so used to Song Hye Kyo to playing a wholesome and happy character to now seeing her in a whole new light just shows how an incredible actress she is

Revenge at its best
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch this drama. Once I started I ended up binging this drama in two days and now I’m sorry it’s over.I was intrigued as I watched Dong Eun methodically take down the bullies as she got them to all turn against each other. I felt no sympathy for any of them. Relished in the fact that the Mom and daughter ended up behind bars; and that Yeon Jin lost everything. No surprise that she went nuts because she was already nuts in high school.
The ending was perfection for me. I hate when the perpetrators get off easy.

Best revenge drama of 2022
The storyline is superb. It contains real issue in the real world (not like time travel, reincarnation or soul shifter thingies). Bullying is happening in all level of society. It's important issue.The acting skill of all the casts, including the young actresses and actors are excellent. With many characters, I still can keep up and remember all of them. They all are unique. Every cast was selected perfectly. The development of the characters is great. It's not only about the female lead and male lead, but also other pairing of friendship (e.g. Moon Dong Eun and her spy, Kang Hyeon Nam).
The pace or the flow of the events in the drama is brilliant. They took us smoothly from past and current, so that we understand the story.
Currently I have been rewatching, just because I like it. And can't wait for the season/part 2.

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.
