Acts of bullying and harassment during school create deep trauma for the victims. This was experienced by Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo), who for years suffered physical violence, sexual harassment, and restriction of movement at the hands of a group of popular students.
Dong-eun chose to fight back against those who had made her suffer. This poor 17-year-old girl meticulously planned her revenge over many years. She ensured her targets were destroyed by their own actions, without any direct intervention from her.
This is the main thread of the Korean drama, *The Glory*. The television series, whose bullying scenes are adapted from true stories in South Korea, has managed to attract—and concern—viewers.
*The Glory* season 1 was released on December 30, 2022, on Netflix. Season 2 was recently released on March 10, 2023.
The series, which consists of 8 episodes per season, is directed by Ahn Gil-ho and well-written by Kim Eun-sook. It has an 8.1/10 rating on IMDb, 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 98% on Google.
Netflix recorded *The Glory*'s viewing duration reaching 26.72 million hours in the latest update, March 27 - April 2, 2023. This makes *The Glory* the second most popular non-English television series on Netflix. The series also remained in the "Top 10" – the most-watched series worldwide – for 9 weeks.
In addition to *The Glory*, Netflix compiled the 9 most popular non-English television series in early April 2023.
