Listen I am on my rewatch of The Glory and aside from being madly in love with both the romantic and unhinged nature of Joo Yeo Jeong, The absolute disparity between the good and bad parents in this show is killing me.
Dong-Eun’s mom? Absolute piece of trash with no class.
Yeon-Jin’s mom? Karen who thinks money and power can buy you anything.
Yeo-Jeong’s mom? Absolutely 100% supportive, but not stupid and committed to doing the right thing.
Kang Hyeon-Nam? The baddest bitch alive, willing to do anything to save her daughter even if it means endangering herself.
And then you have the disparity between Jae Jun and Do-Hyeong, who both cared about Ye-Sol. Jae Jun only cared about her when it was convenient for him and wanted her not because he truly loved her but because he wanted to possess her. Meanwhile, you have Do-Hyeong who is constantly looking out for Ye-Sol’s best interests even though he isn’t biologically related to her.
NOT ONLY THAT, but you also have Yeo-Jeong’s Dad, who was murdered by a patient while doing what he thought was right by saving him, unintentionally starting his son on the path to revenge.
And like yeah The Glory’s main focus is revenge but it’s also an exquisite commentary on how we pass down, inherit, come to terms with, and outright prevent generational trauma from our parents. It also shows how we can choose to do better or worse than they did based on the relationships we create or take for granted.
Idk man, as a generational trauma cycle breaker myself and mom of an (adopted adult) daughter that also experienced so much of that, this show gets to me on a parenting level in a way I can’t even begin to describe.
(Also Do-Yeong’s relationship with Ye-Sol makes me cry in the best way 🥹)

Their chemistry was fantastic! The tension, intense!!! Better than the Doctor love interest.
I watched this the same day the last episode of AOS aired, and I watched that twice! I wanted to kind of loosen AOS’s hold on me so I started this and to my surprise, I looked forward to the next episode each time and finished the whole thing in the wee hours of the morning. But then again, it was only 8 episodes. Everything about this series is intriguing, everything is geared on revenge and the way the storyline is told appeals to me.
I find that Ha Do Young’s character really sexy, a manly man kind of portrayal. I think, Joo Yeu Jung’s description of him acurate...
“He was pretty tall.”
“His watch, his shoes, his cologne... They were all just right. Not too much or too little.”
Moon Dong Eun’s character slots in perfectly into this drama! There’s an aura of mysteriousness about her, aloof, austere, but beautiful with no frills.

Started watching The Glory purely by accident and now I’m hyperfixating.
I was browsing Netflix and left the trailer on to the point it started playing the episode in full and I just…never turned it off. Got up to episode 5 last night. It’s got it’s hooks in me.
The drama. The revenge plot. The satisfaction of it all.

The Glory is the kind of drama that will frustrate the fuck out of you because you wish to see gruesome shit happen to so many of the characters in it, but instead you see it happening to the characters you like.
Even then you can't stop watching it cuz you continue to believe good triumphs over evil.
