The Glory Part 2 review: Netflix’s South Korean revenge drama packs even more punch
Song’s leading turn, too, is plenty admirable. As a woman only motivated by revenge, she’s intensely calculating, and even her poetic narration is laser-focused on her plans at every moment. Dong-eun also grew up with a neglectful single mom and, since her spirit was broken by teenage abuse, she’s short on trust. She keeps up a cold, guarded wall to keep her helpers from truly connecting with her—and at times it can also block out viewers.
But still, each plot contributes to building the central revenge tale—no easy feat. Later, it becomes clear that Dong-eun is not just seeking vengeance for herself but also someone else, which adds another level to the scheme and should prompt surprised shocks, not fatigued sighs, from viewers. We’re also treated to another compelling mystery away from Dong-eun thanks to Yeo-jeong, who is still reeling from his father’s traumatic death.
