"The Glory" Part 2, the revenge drama featuring Song Hye Kyo, ranks 3rd on Netflix's global rankings

 The collaboration of actor Song Hye-kyo and writer Kim Eun-sook resulted in a brutal revenge drama with an unforgiving ending that received a warm response from viewers. Part 2 of "The Glory" rose to the third position in Netflix's global rankings within one day of its release on the 10th. The story follows Moon Dong-eun's (played by Song Hye-kyo) quest for revenge against her perpetrators, including Park Yeon-jin (played by Im Ji-yeon) and her friends, after suffering violence in her school days. Part 2 received a positive response globally, ranking third in Netflix's TV program category and first in 26 countries, including Bolivia, Ecuador, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and Korea.

Kim Eun-sook expressed her admiration for the second part's script, which was written exceptionally well. Part 2 depicts Moon Dong-eun's refreshing revenge with the help of Kang Hyun-nam (played by Yum Hye-ran) and Ju Yeo-jeong (played by Lee Do-hyun). Park Yeon-jin retaliates and causes Moon Dong-eun more pain by using her mother as a new pawn. However, the end is bittersweet as Moon Dong-eun succeeds in her revenge against Park Yeon-jin and other perpetrators, and Park Yeon-jin is imprisoned in a correctional facility when the truth is revealed. Moon Dong-eun finally achieves her desired revenge and finds glory and peace.

Celebrities who watched "The Glory" praised the drama, and Time Magazine evaluated it as a narrative about bigger social inequality that both teenagers and adults can relate to, focusing on the mental pain that school violence victims who were not protected by adults experience as they grow up. During a recent talk event, Song Hye-kyo expressed her gratitude for the positive response, despite the challenges of attempting a new genre.

The success of "The Glory" can be attributed to Song Hye-kyo's bravery in attempting a new genre and Kim Eun-sook's ability to deliver great works consistently. Their meeting was certainly the right decision.

It is Predicted that 'THE GLORY' will Have a Sad Ending

The release of the trailer for "The Glory" Part 2 has sparked a flurry of theories among internet users, who have been analyzing even the briefest moments of footage. On January 26th, a YouTube channel called Minhoaurs uploaded a video titled "Ultra-precise analysis that people who have only watched 'The Glory' Part 2 trailer once can never discover," which quickly gained popularity and amassed nearly a million views in just two days.

In the video, Minhoaurs begins by analyzing a scene in which Park Ji Ah, who plays Moon Dong Eun's mother, visits Moon Dong Eun (played by Song Hye Kyo) with orange-dyed hair. It is suggested that the character of Park Yeon Jin (played by Lim Ji Yeon) will cause trouble for Moon Dong Eun in Part 2 by bribing her mother with money. However, as Moon Dong Eun has included her mother in her plans for revenge, the situation will likely be resolved quickly. Minhoaurs then goes on to provide detailed analysis of an amulet seen attached to the VIP personal safe of Park Yeon Jin's mother (played by Yoon Da Kyung), a wealthy woman.

Minhoaurs stated, "Korean shamanic amulets have a distinct shape for each individual who wears it, however, they share a common framework." This evidence suggests that the actions of Park Yeon Jin's mother are the result of a collaboration among many individuals, including a shaman and an illegal police officer named Shin Young Joon (played by Lee Hae Young).

In the trailer, the character of Lee Sara (played by Kim Hieora) is shown with blonde hair. Minhoaurs posits that Lee Sara's decision to bleach her hair is likely an attempt to avoid detection of drugs. The reasoning behind this is that bleaching can remove even trace amounts of drugs present in hair. Additionally, Minhoaurs suggests that the identity of the mysterious man who falls from the location where Yoon So Hee (played by Lee So Yi) died is Jeon Jae Joon (played by Park Sung Hoon), and thus it is likely that Jeon Jae Joon is the one who killed Yoon So Hee.

Minhoaurs stated, "If you adjust the brightness and process this scene in black and white, you can see a silhouette with long legs, a long coat, and flowing hair. I believe it's Yoon So Hee experiencing karma in the place where she died."

Minhoaurs also discussed the reason for Ha Do Yeong's (played by Jung Sung Il) anger towards Park Yeon Jin. It's because he saw a video of Park Yeon Jin and Jeon Jae Joon (Park Sung Hoon) engaging in sexual activity. Minhoaurs predicted, "If you zoom in on Ha Do Yeong's eyes, you can see what appears to be a rectangular monitor screen." In regards to the ending, Minhoaurs predicted that Park Yeon Jin will sustain burns all over her body as a result of fire, and Moon Dong Eun (played by Song Hye Kyo) will undergo plastic surgery by Joo Yeo Jeong (played by Lee Do Hyun) to assume the identity of Park Yeon Jin. Minhoaurs believes that Moon Dong Eun, who shouted, "From today on, my dream is you, Park Yeon Jin," will ultimately emerge victorious.
