The Special Trailer for ‘The Glory’ Is Vividly Intense

How eagerly we are anticipating the sequel shows how successful The Glory has been. Fans of Korean dramas were treated to a high-octane start to 2023 with the release of the revenge thriller on Netflix on December 30, 2022, starring Song Hye-kyo, one of our favorite Korean actresses, in a never-seen-before role. The narrative occurred to me as a grim yet gorgeous piece, in which the actress is utterly sublime!

The drama, written by Kim Eun-sook and directed by Ahn Gil-ho, also features Lee Do-hyun, Lim Ji-yeon, Yeom Hye-ran, Park Sung-hoon and Jung Sung-il in crucial roles. It recounts the story of Moon Dong-yoon (Song), a woman who endured horrifying abuse in high school and resurfaces years later with a brilliant scheme of retaliation to make the offenders (particularly the main bully, Park Yon-jin, played by Im Ji-yeon) pay a price.

Thanks to the meticulously crafted plot, excellent directing and outstanding performances, with Song at her best as the lethal Moon, the series kept me glued. The first season’s suspense is heightened by the release of The Glory’s special trailer, which unveils Moon’s firmly entrenched rage on the verge of exploding. As the first part comes to a close, Moon pushes the situation to a point where justice must be served. The trailer’s eye-catching montage of the drama’s images with Song’s voice is masterfully combined as her character writes Yon-jin one final letter expressing how anxiously she is anticipating their encounter.

She says that she has missed Yon-jin every day, wondering where she can locate her; that she has missed every aspect of Yon-jin: her feet that inflicted pain, her scornful smiles, her lecherous eyes, her hand that ridiculed and broke others, and her soul that rejoiced in those moments of tyranny.

The brief video is poignantly powerful. It masterfully captures the wrath Moon has been harboring inside of her as a result of the prolonged torture that has transcended emotional lines and made her seem vile. Despite this, I adore Song’s avatar and completely understand her state of mind. She is a rebel with a cause, and I can’t wait to see how she ultimately triumphs over evil, healing her scars both inside and out. The Glory Part 2 will stream on Netflix from March 10.
