With "The Glory Part 2," Song Hye Kyo takes on a different persona and deviates from her typical on-screen image

 After a two-month wait, "The Glory Part 2" was released and quickly gained popularity on social media. Viewers praised the drama, particularly Song Hye Kyo's outstanding performance. Despite nearly 30 years of acting, she was able to break out of her typical role and portray her character with more depth and emotion.

In this second part of the series, Moon Dong Eun's character is more dynamic and exhibits a range of emotions, including hatred, fear, pain, and love, which makes her more relatable. She must also confront her mother, adding a new layer of complexity to the story. Song Hye Kyo captures the desperation of Dong Eun's character when she is once again betrayed by her own mother.

Previously, Song Hye Kyo was thought to be stuck in a single acting style and not willing to break out of her mold, but "The Glory Part 2" proves that she can exceed expectations and challenge preconceived notions about herself and her acting. "The Glory Part 2" can now be streamed in its entirety on Netflix.

"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.
