An 8 episode Korean revenge tale that anyone who has been bullied can relate to, The Glory is well done all around.
I'm not sure how high schools compare Korea vs. America in terms of bullying, but as shown here, Korean teens seem super mean and cringeworthy. The main character, Dong-eun is picked on verbally, burnt with a curling iron by classmates, then slapped by school administrators. She drops out due to the abuse, then works menial jobs and studies to eventually go to university. All the while, she's plotting revenge on her high school tormentors.
As far as I can tell, there isn't anything wrong with the technical aspects of this production, the script, dialogue, sets, editing are all great. By far the best aspect is the emotions The Glory May cause one to feel. As a poorer child, I wanted the rich, entitled girls to "get theirs".
So well done.
