"The Glory" is so hot Netflix's server was down the first minute Part 2 of the series was released

Upon the release of Part 2 of the original Netflix series "The Glory", viewers experienced a temporary error on the streaming server for about a minute. The error, which corresponds to Netflix Error "NSES-500", typically occurs due to a temporary server problem, and users can resolve it by refreshing the page or reconnecting to Netflix.

Concerns had been raised about the server's ability to handle the influx of traffic upon the release of episode 9, and Netflix had attempted a "midterm event" on March 3rd with little success due to overwhelming traffic. However, despite the momentary error, the immense popularity of "The Glory" was made evident, with many viewers having to log in to Netflix with multiple devices to gain access to the video.

"The Glory" centers around Moon Dong Eun, played by Song Hye Kyo, and her revenge plan against those who have hurt her in the past after experiencing school violence as a child. Part 1 of the series, released in December 2022, gained a large following due to its realistic portrayal of school violence and engaging storyline, leading to its ranking as the top non-English TV show on Netflix's weekly rankings in the first week of January and spawning numerous memes.

Netflix apologized for the temporary error and announced a second event for viewers to participate in. Winners of the event will be contacted on March 22nd.
