The Glory (2023): A Silent, but Fierce Revenge Masterpiece.

There is a total facade of angelic innocence that sophisticated bullies put up when they are caught being a bully. They usually put on that facade so they will make you think they are the nice ones while the person getting bullied is just being 'oversensitive'.

I've seen that scene play out a lot in movies about bullies, but that wasn't the case in this top rated tvshow.

"It had to be Kdrama, hadn't it?"

Haha. I know someone is screaming that out loud and I can't even start to make any denial. Yeah! It just had to be a show from the wonderful filmmakers in Korea. If you know a thing about me and my love for Tvshows, you will surely know that kdramas whet my appetite in a very special way


Brief Profile for the show;

Drama: The Glory

Genre: Thriller, Melodrama, Bullying.

Revised romanization: The Glory

Network: Netflix

Episodes: 16

Release Date: 2023.

This 2023 kdrama is a movie adaptation of a series of event that happened in real life. I remember watching a video where the lady that her story was adapted in this Kdrama got to meet the casts and she was very emotional because she didn't know her story would be acted out in a very captivating way like this. In her interview, she expressed her deep appreciation towards the whole production crew.

If you know her story, you will see exactly why she's so emotional about the work that was poured into this show.

The Kdrama tells the story of a high school student who had to turn to a dropout after falling victim to multiple incidents of school violence from her colleagues, her teachers and even the parents of her colleagues. After years of suffering and trying to prepare a well detailed revenge scheme, she successfully got herself ready and came back to town where she will be serving a very spicy and hot revenge to her bullies and to those that were bystanders while she was getting bullied.

This isn't just a case of high school bullying. It was more than that. The act of bullying in itself was actually a very intense case of violence towards her. Her skin was burned severally and her Mum was even paid off to play a role in making her miserable. After going through that experience, her life became a living hell, but she wasn't going to live in that hell alone...

She vowed to give her bullies a good taste of what a living hell feels like.

The bullies in this show were unbelievably vicious in their act and they grew up having parents who laid solid foundations for their act of bullying. You know, when a kid sneaks into someone's room to steal and the kid gets a handshake from his/her parents, that same kid will courageously knock down people's doors the next time he/she goes stealing. That's exactly the case here. They have horrible parents who supported their act of bullying.

The trailers for the show already gave a hint about what to expect in the show. It's clearly not a revenge story where the bullied tries to get a poetic justice through the law or sits back and wait for karma.

Nope! This show isn't about anything like that.

The bullied took it upon herself to draw her revenge master plan and that in itself is overflowing with cinematic awesomeness. The execution of her revenge also hits the spot. She did it in a dramatically appealling way.

I've seen a lot of incidents of school bullying where the bullies got away while the bullied lives in trauma forever. The fact that this show went against that pattern is one of the things that whets my appetite about it. Also, the dialogue in this show is superb and the actors gave their all to play their character.

It's simply amazing. It is awesome.

Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma.

Have watch this, and yea it is one interesting movie that keeps the viewers glued to the end.

avatar

Exactly. I started watching mine when the whole 16 episodes were already released. It was a joy to watch.

avatar

I've seen a lot of trailers for this movie and It looked a bit sad for me.
I barely streamed episode 1 on Netflix but it seemed a bit boring...
It sounds pretty interesting, though I'll give it a try

avatar

It's a sad show especially the first few episodes when the bullying was given very good spotlight. Some people, especially those that has bad experience with bullies, found it hard to watch it because it was highlighted really well. That's why I'm not just seeing the show as something about school bullying. It digs deeper into an intense case of violent acts which were performed by the bullies.

For those that can get through the first couple of episodes, they will surely enjoy watching the show. The production tram left no stone unturned.

avatar

It sounds very intense, what they did to her and the fact that it's a true-life story makes me want to watch it even more.

I'll download and watch it this weekend.

avatar

Okay. If you end up writing a review after watching it, I would like to see your review of the show. Haha.

Have fun 👍

avatar

Wow I've heard so much about this movie and now I'm seeing that I have seen a movie of this lead character before where she caught my attention with her silent and innocent face 😂

I'm definitely adding this to my watch list and enjoy the masterpiece you have explained here. Revenge movies have their own thrills, I'm excited about this one.

avatar

Lol... She's the Lady with that poker face aura. She looks so innocent, but when she speaks or acts, she strikes fear in the heart of the bullies. Lol.

I like her character so much and I think this is the most striking role she has played in recent years. She gave everything for it and even the surrounding actors also did a very awesome job.

I rate this show highly oOoOO and there wasn't even any action. Their dialogues are very poetic 😂. The execution of the revenge is also very captivating

avatar

Oh that got me even more interesting then, will have it downloaded tonight 😁

avatar

I have watched this drama and loved it and felt like she was portraying all the girls who wanted revenge against their bullies like for real they got what they deserved and it won’t happen by doing nothing 😝 LOL I kinda felt like an evil person because of cherishing the revenge she took without any mercy.

!PIZZA

avatar

Haha... We've all seen multiple shows where someone that was bullied had to be the good guy and be nice and then bring justice to the bullies by having them punished by the law.

This particular one is quite different. She didn't pretend to be nice. She gave the bad guys what they deserved and served them a very hot punishment 😂

avatar

Thinking that it is based on a real story I am having goes bumps. How can a mother allow anyone to give injuries to her daughter. It is strange.

I like the stories that demonstrate the real laws of the world. I mean the karma thing all the time is an old school idea. How often do we see in the world that bad people suffer? Or they become a good person in the end? Or the sufferer finds solace? These happenings are quite rare, in case if they happen.

The truth is that we have to stand up and work for whatever our goals are, be it a revenge or an attempt to save the world from violent people.

avatar

Exactly. It was very devastating to see that her Mum easily turned on her daughter and made her life miserable because she was paid some money by the parents of the bullies. She did that when her child 18 and came back to do it again when she was already in her 30s.

I have also seen a lot of revenge stories where everything is left for come or where the culprits end up asking for forgiveness at the end but things like that doesn't really reflect the reality of human race. There are times when action has to be taken by the bullied and that's exactly what was highlighted in this show.

avatar

where the culprits end up asking for forgiveness at the end but things like that doesn't really reflect the reality of human race.

Have you ever seen such a case in reali life? I haven’t witnessed s single case

avatar

Exactly. Those things are just narratives getting pushed.

If you leave bad people along, they will continue doing bad until the end of time.

In my opinion, this is the best character that Song Hye Kyo has ever played.

avatar

Seriously, this is the best of her project that I've seen s far. She invested so much of herself in it and I'm glad the show got loads of attention.

avatar

Wow, this is new man, I get this type of movies popping up on my Home Screen every time I login to Netflix, I think I am loving this series already bro, the fact that she took revenge for all the bullies is what makes me want to watch it so much. I love it already…

Thank God she didn’t think of forgiving and forgetting, I would have stopped watching halfway, but now that I know she did times 2 of it, I am satisfied, she paid them back in their own coin and it was good is enough for me…

Haha... The movie is a really good and highly rated one. There are shows that are well written but have low views. This particular one has a very decent view and I believe all the production crew deserves that.

avatar

Oh sharp I must check it out, it’s a date

avatar

I love the title you gave it. That was a perfect title because I have watched it and I love how she revenged silently. Those girls are just so wicked especially their leader. They deserved what they got. I was so happy in the end when she achieved her aim. I popped in through #dreemport

avatar

Exactly, Princess. I'm so tired of shows where the bad guys are just sent to jail as punishment. Haha. Sometimes, it's good to see them get really good punishment after messing people's life up.

The revenge story in this show is nicely portrayed. They did an awesome job in it.

avatar

You have a way of reviewing movies that any movie you review will surely be an interesting one.

I am yet to see this movie and I will see it because of your great review.

Thank you for sharing.
