La Gloria (2022)

Acting spot on.

I would love to focus on the actors, they were terrific throughout the development of the storyline. Their body language and expression guide you to understand their emotions and allow you to understand and feel what is happening around them.

The storyline develops slowly which is perfect for understanding what is going on, but the language gap caused me to rewind a few scenes to understand the subtitles on Netflix. There were a few scenes that i had wished would have been expressed a bit earlier however i believe it was to keep us on the edge.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants some action-driven acting, and especially realistic incidents.

Como pode um drama ser tão bom do início ao fim?

Review da parte 1 e da 2: Tem Spoiler pra k7

Existe uma grande chance de que mude a nota final que dei para The Glory, provavelmente para algo bem maior do que 9. Esse é um dos melhores que já assisti em toda a minha vida e eu tenho a honra de dar uma das minhas raras 5 estrelas para ele.

O primeiro episódio é, definitivamente, o mais pesado, já que é o prefácio do que veremos ao longo da história. É doloroso ver as coisas terríveis que Dong-eun passou quando era nova, chegando ao ponto de te deixar ansioso, mesmo que logo na primeira cena saibamos que ela tenha sobrevivido.
Depois disso, o mistério envolvendo cada um dos personagens deixa toda a história cada vez melhor. Você sabe bem que a vingança vai ser bem sucedida, mas você também fica ansioso em descobrir junto da protagonista todos aqueles segredos horriveis envolvendo cada um dos amigos.
Além disso, Yeo-jeong. Acho que nunca tive tanto medo de estar torcendo por um possível vilão. Tudo ao redor desse personagem é misterioso. Quem é ele? O que está procurando? Por quê infernos tem um homem obcecado por ele? O que preocupa tanto sua mãe? São tantas, mas tantas perguntas. E ainda assim, você não consegue deixar de gostar dele, de querer que ele seja realmente o carrasco do enorme plano de vingança.

The Glory é um dos melhores dramas com um dos melhores roteiros que já assisti, e sem dúvidas merece que você também de uma olhada. Tudo faz sentido e tudo é muito bem construído ao longo dos 16 episódios.

Meu deus, que negócio bom…

Almost dropped it but pushed thru

The first episode was absolutely infuriating. I was planning on dropping this 3/4 of the way thru it. I instead came to the reviews to see why I should keep watching. I was mostly convinced. I went to S2 to see how it would progress. It looked promising so back I went. I then found out the bullying was something that had actually happened. While I still found the basis of the series appalling and almost unbelievable, but knowing it was "based" in reality made me push through. I wanted to see this revenge play out because boy was it warranted!

There were still parts that frustrated me to no end but overall the two leads won me over and kept me watching. Will I watch it again?Probably not. Would I suggest it for everybody to watch? Absolutely not. There are A LOT of triggering scenes especially in the first episode so be aware before you start. There are various scenes throughout that are hard to watch also.

Only you know what you can handle but know you have been warned!

Good at holding interest, even better visuals

This was my intro back to drama after quite a long hiatus and it set the bar pretty high. I went in with lowish expectations based on my experience of how 'revenge' dramas pan out in kdramas, especially when it's the FL pursuing the revenge. But so far, so good.

I like the way the story will weave between the past and present to uncover things gradually. The drama can take a slow, meandering pace in order to fully get things set up but its not unenjoyable. The story itself feels well thought out. It can be a bit dramatic at times but never veers too much into makjang territory. I do like how the characters have some depth in them; the antagonists, while evil, are not cartoonishly, 1D caricatures. The acting is very well done on everyone's part. Our FL really shines here and I am very much enjoying SHK's performance.

The drama has really good visuals and scenery. The music, while not really memorable on its own, does add well to the mood and vibe. Let's move on to Part 2!

Cruel tale amazingly acted! Brace yourself!

This series could have been another common revenge story...Instead, it turned out to be the captivating first part of a cruel tale amazingly acted. The script was well-built with effective setup payoff and credible plotlines. The well-thought pacing creates a very bingeable show. The tone of the drama is really dark making the few instants of respite and hope really bright for the protagonists.

The ensemble cast is great: most of the actors are doing an impressive job. I found the younger characters particularly gifted: each of their scenes left a strong impact on me. Song Hye Kyo successfully plays the complex (anti)-heroine. The performances of the others characters (allies and enemies) are not to be outdone either. I totally fell for the charm of Lee Do Hyun and will be looking forward his new -(and old) dramas.

The production is really great, there are a lot of scenes that are poignant and even harrowing for your soul while still at the same time being beautiful and healing in some way. The opening generic is fascinating as well as the overall soundtrack, haunting at some points.

I would recommend this to people looking for a captivating revenge drama. If you like dark stories and have appreciated thematic around social classes like in "Parasite", this one is for you! Be aware that this is a really brutal story which can be very triggering as it is centred around bullying and very violent.

Add to Watching List!

I binge watched this so bad, I started yesterday evening and ended in the same night! I didn't think I would watched all at once, but I have to say that it was really good. It comes with a lot of revenge dramas around, revenge is a tipycal guide line in kdramas, but sometimes it gets tired to watch or you just start loosing interest because it's dragged, this one is really well made in my opinion, the pace is stable and the characters are well developed.
I mean, with the end of season one it's not like nothing happened, but the real revenge it still has to come, within all season one the story is built, you see the developoment of all the characters and some new entry, and how the protagonist is paventing the way for revenge, and did not get bored, you stay there and watch every episode with curiosity.
The acting is amazing, a really high level, you can receive all emotion from them, the choices for young/adult are really amazing as if they 're real! And maybe I' m a sucker for villains, but I have to say that Shin Ye Eun and Im Ji Yeon who play the same character (young/adult) are really spectacular, when I looked at them I got shivers!

Nothing lifts the heartbeat better than a revange goals

Song Hye Kyo (as Moon Dong Eun) and Im Ji Yeon (as Park Yeon Jin) were beyond amazing. The way they conveyed the relationship between their characters, the emotions swirling inside and the madness in their eyes was all unforgetable. I already knew in Descendands of the Sun that Song Hye Kyo is a very good actress, but here ... paired with Im Ji Yeon, she is untamed ? She bloomed like a flower.

I don't know if I've ever seen such a well-created evil female character. I'm not just talking about Korean productions, but generally everything I've ever seen. Im Ji Yeon seems to have played role of her life as she was flawless from start to finish. ? But praise should also go to the young actresses that playes teenage versions of main characters Shin Ye Eun as young Yeon Jin and Jung Ji So as young Dong Eun. They gave character and dynamics to the relationship of the main characters.

Moving on to other perturbators. Each of them contributed to the destruction of the life of the main character and several other girls from high school *********** SPOILER *********** and I will reveal that each of them received the punishment they deserved.*********** END OF SPOILER *********** When it comes to their acting, they also did well because you hate them from the beginning of the series to the very end without a moment's hesitation ?

I don't know what else I could say about the series without revealing its content .... It's brilliant and that's probably the only thing that matters before you start watching it ?

L'une des meilleurs séries du genre !

Pour ne pas gâcher le plaisir de la découverte, ma critique sera très courte.
Les histoires de vengeance, il y en a des tonnes ; surtout dans le cinéma coréen. Difficile de sortir du lot et pourtant, "The Glory" y arrive à la perfection.
Que ce soit le scénario (cohérent jusqu'au bout, ce qui mérite d'être souligné), que ce soit le rythme (on avance doucement dans l'histoire, sans pour autant être lassé) , le jeu des acteurs (bluffant !), tout est presque parfait ! Les personnages (secondaires) sont un chouilla excessifs, mais ils restent bien joués ça sauve le tout.
Une série que je recommande vivement : même pour ceux qui ne sont pas fan du genre. Quitte à en voire une sur la vengeance, que ce soit celle-ci !,
J'ai prit beaucoup de plaisir à visionner et que je regarderais à nouveau, à coup sûr !
