Fans were left unfulfilled when The Glory‘s first part ended on Netflix with Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) no closer to enacting complete revenge on her old tormentors.
The South Korean drama proved a massive hit on Netflix, where it ranked in the top ten non-English streamed shows for five consecutive weeks with almost 200 million hours watched worldwide. It follows the tragic story of Moon Dong-eun, a woman who dreamed of becoming an architect when she was in high school. Bullies destroyed that dream when a violent attack caused her to drop out. Now she works as a teacher and plots her vengeance against the bullies and other students who stood by and did nothing.
Simple murder isn’t Dong-eun’s style, however. She wants to make her enemies suffer, and her lust for revenge even extends to family members. One of the children at the elementary school where Dong-eun works is the daughter of a bully, and even she is not safe from being used as a weapon.
The latest trailer promises more cold-blooded plotting, and even hints at Dong-eun’s plans taking ever more violent turns.
The Glory Part 2 release date, and where to enjoy
Netflix confirmed a release date for Part 2, which fans can expect to drop on the streamer on March 10. It will contain another eight episodes for die hard fans to binge, but will Dong-eun gain her vengeance? And, even if she does, can it make up for the wasted years, the angst, and the pain that warps her day by day? While the best revenge is living well, she may just have to settle for destroying the lives of her tormentors, even if it destroys her soul in the process.
