This Chart Topping Netflix Show About Revenge Is “Horrifying”

Not many shows get two weeks at the number one spot in Netflix’s TV (Non-English) chart. However, The Glory doesn’t seem to be like your typical show. This K-Drama is focused on serving the coldest revenge, which is a mood we can all support. 

In the Netflix series, a young woman, bullied to the point of deciding to drop out of school, plans the best way to get revenge. After becoming a primary school teacher, she takes in the son of the man who tormented her the most to enact her vengeance.

The Glory is written by Kim Eun-sook and directed by An Gil-ho. It stars Song Hye-Kyo, Lee Do-Hyun, Ji-Yeon Lim, Aria Song, and Harrison Xu. Part 1, which consisted of eight episodes, dropped on December 30th. Part 2 is scheduled to be released this March.

While The Glory didn’t receive a ton of press, viewers have taken to Twitter to share the highlights from this wild tale.

See what Twitter is saying about the Netflix series:

Hey @netflix This may well be the best show on your service and having binge watched the first part of 8 episodes now you tell me I’ve got to wait until March for part two? Not HP but bloody hell that is one hell of a programme. #TheGlory pic.twitter.com/wIOBxGXewr

Writer: If I express HaDoYoung in one line… A Nice son of a B*tch lol. #JungSungil expressed the frustration, anger and despair really well. And especially his voice is really good, so no matter how I write the script, it all sounds like a famous line. #TheGlory pic.twitter.com/tuihRN7O0p

Thinking about that Face ID episode w Shin Yeeun and Moon Gayoung, where Yeeun burst into tears talking about how guilty she felt about her dramas having bad ratings:( I hope she knows how successful The Glory is and how much everyone’s been praising herpic.twitter.com/O4dw3cJwow

Part 1 of #TheGlory was absolutely amazing. I really didn’t expect it to be this captivating but writer Kim EunSook really put her all into this one. Truly horrifying bullying and a revenge story like no other #TheGloryNetflix pic.twitter.com/fAtsp8Luuc

Is The Glory the show we need for these cold months when we’ll cancel on our friends and stay inside? I think so and cannot wait to hit play so I can be as obsessed as the rest of Twitter.
