The Glory is South Korean story that is filled with a lot of revenge, judgment, and the road for redemption still continues. The main character is Moon Dong-eun, a girl who was bullied severely; however, she cleverly invents a plan to expose her bullies' downfall. In the meantime, she was beginning to understand a most basic kind of justice — the one that is, at least essentially, a show: The narrative goes through her transition from being a helpless teenager to an empowered warrior, seeking out and dish out justice to the people who hurt her.
Basically, the story revolves around Moon Dong-eun— the character that has fallen from grace. She’d been bullied in her high school days; and that was the cause of her misery. The physically and emotionally abusive behavior leaves her with despair but the strength to survive is still there. She chooses the time of those who don’t let themselves be beaten entirely.
After that, the protagonist thinks up all kinds of ways to revenge on her childhood bullies, including the collection of the evidence and the search for the proper moment when she could kill them. Moreover, the show deals with the deep and the superficial levels of bullying issue without losing the subjective perspective of the main character (Dong-eun) in relation to other characters. Hence, starting with the plan's execution, the perspectives of the people around Dong-eun, the ones that she deals with, are, without being conscious, attracted to the path of her revenge play. The concept of ethics is really compelling; It poses questions like: Is there a phenomenon on earth called justice or deserved justice and which of these is more just, who deserves to have it, and what are the ways of justice to be followeth, as far as the other parties as well as oneself are concerned of it.
