A Quick Recap on the First Part of ‘The Glory’
Since its release last December, fans have been raving about the remarkable performance of Song Hye-kyo as Dong-eun. The hit revenge saga quickly captured the interest of the viewers in just a few minutes, as the plot seemed to continuously thicken with every episode.
The Glory exemplary narrates the story of Dong-eun, a woman whose soul has been tremendously devastated because of the abuse of power and violence caused by her classmates in high school.

The Glory is built on the experience of the dazzling trinity of K-drama hitmakers: writer Kim Eun-sook (The Lonely and Great God, Descendants of the Sun and Mr. Sunshine), director An Gil-ho (Stranger, Memories of Alhambra, Record of Youth), and, of course, the casts of Song Hye-kyo, Lee Do-hyun, Lim Ji-yeon, Yeom Hye-ran, Park Sung-hoon, and Jung Sung-ill.
During the press conference made last December, writer Kim Eun-sook shared, “I am a parent myself, and my daughter is going to be sophomore in high school next year. So, school violence is a topic that I’m not new to. And it’s something I want to delve into. We were talking about the topic of school violence, and my concern is that my daughter, because of my fame, would be bullied in school.”
True enough, the writer was able to convincingly convey the heart of the story—along with the repercussions that could happen with such an act in the future. Within the five weeks since its release, The Glory dominated Netflix’s Global Top 10 TV (Non-English) and continues to rise to fame with several parodies and memes going viral on social media.
