Netflix K-drama The Glory Part 2: vendetta of Song Hye-kyo’s bullying victim turned avenger starts to pall as new set of episodes kick off
- Song Hye-kyo returns in The Glory Part 2 as a woman seeking revenge on her high school bullies – with her main tormentor beginning to fight back
- The first two episodes of Part 2 lack the punch of Part 1, but there is every chance the show will pick up its pace as it approaches its endgame
After a gripping launch last year, Korean drama series The Glory returns on March 10 with a second set of eight episodes.
The episodes are billed as “Part 2”, and this is an important distinction, as this is not a second season. Rather, The Glory is a 16-episode show – the standard length of most Korean broadcast and cable dramas – that has been split into two chunks.
What that means is that Part 2 dumps us in something of a midseason lull, unlike a fresh season of a show that would normally seek to open with a bang.
The goal remains the same. Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) is in the final phase of her vendetta against her high-school tormentors, chief among them Park Yeon-jin (Lim Ji-yeon).
She is a teacher at the fancy private school attended by Yeon-jin’s daughter Ha Ye-sol (Oh Ji-yul) and she has already revealed herself to Yeon-jin and her clique – Yeon-jin’s sometime lover Jeon Jae-jun (Park Sung-hoon), druggy artist Lee Sa-ra (Kim Hieora), gold-digger Choi Hye-jeong (Cha Joo-young) and meathead Son Myeong-o (Kim Gun-woo).
