Omggg the rage I felt

[@danielcabal2016]

oh the rage, tbh all the bullying was horrible but what made me boil in rage was that scene where the homeroom teacher slaps her multiple times. but we have to understand cultural differences. maybe at that time, teachers see this as him disciplining her, however over-the-top it may be. seniority and image are a big deal in SK. so a student getting slapped by a teacher is not because the teacher is being abusive but because the student is ill-mannered. and jumping in to save a delinquent makes them the bad person, which might cost them their jobs. look how the school nurse lost her job. *although the school nurse lost her job because the main bully was there in the clinic, but you get the point. also, they might lose their jobs for supporting a very rich kid's victim*

If you think this is extremely dramatized then you’ve lived a pretty lucky life. My cousin experienced one of the worst bullying cases I know of in high school. A girl secretly took pictures of her when she was in the dorm showers in order to threaten her. The drama may hyperbolize things in some places, but don’t ever think bullying is dramatized. Sadly.

[@nisigate]

😢😭😭😭😭so sorry for your cousin

[@aureliajesical.1569]

So sorry to hear that, I hope your cousin is doing okay now. It's an incredibly hard work trying to scrape off and throw away any residual mental wounds bullies have inflicted upon you. But it is something the victims themselves must work hard towards! Sincerely hope your cousin is getting all the support she needs❤

[@alifiatiara13]

The drama didn't do hyperbolize things. Scenes of bullying (ep.1) based on real cases in South Korea.

Sadly, many people who live in a happy bubbly fam and friends. My colleagues friends told me that she has never encounter bully and all her high school friends are from happy fam. (Im her 1st friend whom from broken fam and got bullied) lol

[@farmboygator]

A similar case happened in Southern California couple years ago. The victim girl was burned with cigarettes over and over again, was beaten and forced to eat dirt. The main perpetrator was also a middle school girl, her classmate. Lucky those Asian kids were foreign students and forgot they were in USA. They were behind bars finally. Trust me in the country they came from, they can just walk away.

[@khaheeshasatti3337]

The scene which I loved the most was the ending scene where yeon jin is in dong eun’s apartment and says I shouldn’t have bullied her, which for a moment makes the audience think she is regretting her behavior in the past and bullying dong eun but than her next line is I should have killed her instead, which honestly sent a chill down my spine because of the fact the nature of a person can never change even when all odds are against yeon jin she’s still thinking none of this is actually her fault instead of regretting she brutally abused a girl she’s thinking why she didn’t just kill her

[@tandzilebhembe1255]

But it wasn't a genuine epiphany,she only said that because she saw that Dong Eun is really going to ruin her life. Think about it if she never came back for revenge she still would have lived her life normally not caring about a thing especially from her past, I mean she literally killed someone and doesn't show any remorse for it.

[@JL-yh2nh]

It was also interesting when Yeon Jin questioned her daughter when she came home from school, asking if the teacher had burnt her skin. Kid said “no, that’s mean” Yeon actually looked guilty for a split second

[@anastasyavie6236]

@@JL-yh2nh In my mind, the kid is such a focal point because both of her parents is different kind of awful. Yeonjin will be judges by the kid who she loves and I think the drama want to show that bullying is something that is nurture and related to the environment growing up. Her anxiety that her kids will have a bad childhood is her own guilty conscience that eats her alive.

[@kenmasters2025]

Was perfectly obvious to me, that she would say that she should've killed her instead

Jae Jun doesn't feel threaten by Dong Eun appearance , her bully revelation hardly bring anything to him cause he didn't capitalise on public image, the artist girl get bribed and she thought bribe will let her off, the stewardesses doesn't has the resources and the other dude is getting advantage.

One thing I like about Dong-eun's various confrontations with the bullies is that they have nothing to threaten her with. Threats only carry weight if your intended victim is afraid of them, and everything they've already done to her has already left her with nothing. Their own cruelty stripped away any power they had over her, and the fact that they can't scare her anymore scares them, leaving her with all the power.

In the end, Moon Dong-eun was able to use the fact that the bullies were underestimating her to her advantage. Because they looked down on her all her life, they never anticipated the things she was able and willing to do. She was always 3 steps ahead of them. What an excellent character.

[@itsnlee]

What really affected me throughout the drama is not just the severity of the bullying (which is something I didn't think would be so graphic in a kdrama before), but the portrayal of deep trauma for the victim that makes the Glory so heavy and bleak. Not only this, but how so many adults have neglected to protect her as a minor. I imagine those who were/are bullied in the real world would find this drama hard to watch or possibly unwatchable as to trigger the memories. It's undoubtedly a 10/10, where it becomes very cathartic when the revenge plan builds up overtime. It felt like taking a breath of air after being in a confined space. It's one of the heaviest dramas I've seen in a very long time despite the short 8ep (personally last time it was My Mister) and I was shook to see Kim Eun Sook tackling these extremely dark themes that weren't in her past works like The Heirs, The King EM, and Goblin. The OST is just incredible and I can't wait to see Part 2 in March.

[@anastasyavie6236]

I also like that she keeps scratching her arm despite the wound has healed, how hot air reminds her about the physical burn they inflicted to her. At one point in her monologue, she said that had she be able to forget them, then she'll have a better life, that was once her dream, to be able to not remembering who they are but all those scars left marks on her. All the things is not forgettable. The slow burn also nice, I love when she talks back to them and it hits where it hurts. Like the colourful remarks to Jae Jun, the pretending to pray and get the answer to Sara, the not asking for apology to JiYeon and others. It just she makes them scared and paranoid and it satisfying to see them finally know what fear and desperation means.

It wasn’t much of a genuine nice friendship. They just had too much history between them, they were bullies together and knew about the murder and their own indiscretions, so they were stuck together. It was more a hate circle than a friendship one, in a sense they felt freedom when they were together because all of them were twisted and could act as twisted as they wanted when they were together, that’s my interpretation at least.

I remember their words, their actions. It's so unfair. Lately I've been watching dramas with characters who got bullied in the past going on revenge trips later and I find myself feeling a grim satisfaction. I have zero compassion or understanding for anyone who intentionally hurts others and scars them for life. They deserve everything bad and horrible that comes their way. I never believed in god but in karma only.

That actress is the best in my opinion and the character is more complex than the others. Hye-Jeong is in a difficult situation and is bullied a bit, too. Sara even tells Hye-Jeong: "It was either Dong-Eun or you back then". (Episode 2 at minus 17.20 minutes, when 17.20 remains of that episode. It's easier to search way that as the elapsed time isn't shown). And she seems remorseful though still very selfish. Great acting when she pleads with Dong-Eun at the temple. I think Myeong-Oh also felt remorse. Too bad he disappeared, he was an interesting character. The others are too caricatured and are too one-dimensional.

This is simply the best story about revenge ever. Moon Dong-eun really teaches a lesson in terms of payback, and, without any trace of physical violence, just destroying their foes in their minds, hearts, lifestyle, making all masks falling down. They make her suffer by physical, psicological and emotional means. Now, she's making their slower begging for forgiveness, until the day they all will beg for die. She represents the best definition of "I just have to gain with this, because, I don't have anything, anybody, include myself, to lose"

I have been wanting to see her in a dark role like this because she has those icy queen vibes and her face is perfect for roles like these with her poker face cause even though she has a great poker face, her eyes are able to portray all the pain and other emotions. So roles like this really show her acting skills.

Or, maybe killing the father will help the son to become a school inspector after all if people forget the father and gossip about him? But why would people judge the son based on the father's behaviour in the first place? I think Dong-Eun should just have exposed the father directly and ruined his reputation without involving the son unless she wanted to hurt the son just to upset her old teacher even more. The scene where she has beer with the son is supposed to show how ruthless she is. She is creepy when she ironically wishes for him to pass the written test and he looks confused about her mocking attitude. The reason was that only after passing the written test would he be vulnerable to gossip as the interview was next step. Dong-Eun even told the son he was innocent but unfortunately she was cruel enough to destroy his career.

There was a brilliant detail when she was getting bullied and I wanted to pointed it out. In ep5, exactly at 3:00... She was getting dragged on the floor, and the light that was beaming through the door looked like a cross, which I found really a mind-blowing shot. Because, in one of the previous scenes, those girls were in the church and the director specifically shot the big cross on the wall and focused on it. So by showing the cross in this scene, they're showcasing sarcasm and hypocrisy, saying these girls were praying for God and now they're doing the opposite of what god tells them.
