Many K-Dramas err on the side of light-hearted romance, mixed with the occasional uplifting underdog story and a sprinkle of conflict. It’s not every day that we get a drama like “The Glory” that willingly dives into topics that are hard to talk about.
The Netflix produced series goes all out, providing scenes that, to some, might be difficult to watch. It doesn't just touch upon the subjects of school violence and bullying, but portrays it to the fullest extent. “The Glory” definitely is not for those with a weak stomach. However, it has the power to become a talking point and could help prevent situations like this from happening in real life.
3. A Revenge Story Like No Other
Everyone has a limit to how much abuse they can handle and tolerate. While Moon DongEun put up with her bullies, after a certain point she decided that enough is enough. Although she could not face them as a teen, she is ready and prepared to take them down as an adult.
The riveting K-Drama shows the extent someone is willing to go in order to gain vengeance. DongEun’s eyes might appear devoid of hope, but she is out for blood and will not stop until she reaches her end goal. Although she does show signs of compassion and warmth, she stays true to her mission. Seeing her drive, we cannot help but follow her until the bitter end.
