‘The Glory’ Part 2 review: Razor-sharp writing elevates this disturbing tale of bullying and revenge

There’s a certain amount of trepidation one has going into the second part of a solid and compelling show like Netflix’s South Korean original, The Glory. The Glory Part 2 Episodes: 8 Writer: Kim Eun-sook Director: Ahn Gil-ho Cast: Song Hye-Kyo, Lee Do-Hyun, Lim Ji-Yeon Synopsis: After being incessantly bullied in high school, a woman returns years later with an elaborate plan to seek revenge on her tormentors After being incessantly bullied in high school, Moon Dong-eun comes back after nearly two decades to set in motion a complicated plan of revenge that she hopes will bring about the ruin of her high school bullies who are now unrepentant and depraved adults. While much of the first part focussed on Dong-eun’s careful planning, we see it all unravel slowly and steadily as it impacts Yeon-jin and her cronies, rich heir Jae-joon, his lackey Myeong-oh, artist Sa-ra and flight attendant Hye-jeong in the newer episodes. Unlike Part 1 which had several graphic scenes depicting the gruesome high school bullying Dong-Eun is subject to, the newer episodes are a lot more toned down despite the show delving into the life of another victim of bullying.
