A WOMAN revisits her past to take revenge on her high school bullies in Netflix’s latest Korean drama, The Glory.
) and directed by Ahn Gil-ho, the story centers on Moon Dong-eun who suffered violent attacks from her bullies, which eventually led her to drop out of high school. 18 years later, she moves to an apartment overlooking her former bully’s family home. While there, she orchestrates a plan to seek revenge on her former bullies, led by Park Yeon-jin , who is now a weather forecaster.
The opening scene follows Dong-eun in her new apartment, stapling pictures of her former bullies to a wall. Bruises and scars are seen on her arms and shoulders. Yeon-jin enters the scene, and Dong-eun strikes her opponent’s face, and pledges to come after her. The bullying scenes in the series are very graphic and emotionally distressing, and can be difficult to watch. With the violence depicted in the series, I began to question why the main character did not seek help from school administrators. It also contains dialogue where the victim is gaslighted by people in power such as the police and school staff.
I had to keep reminding myself that the events in the show are fictional and that resolving problems with violence is never the best option, even if it portrays the protagonist achieving their deserved justice.
