A 2022 Korean Drama has fans eagerly hoping for a second season, as they describe it as a series that will “stay with you”.
K-dramas, or Korean dramas, have seen a significant surge in popularity over the past few years. While some series, such as Squid Game, have achieved global mainstream success, the genre is rich with films and television series that are equally cherished and critically praised by their enthusiasts.
Devoted fans have singled out The Glory as one of the most compelling series in this genre. Released in two parts, the psychological thriller premiered with its first half in December 2022 and concluded with the second half in March 2023.
The first season, presented in two parts, traces the story of a woman who plots revenge against those who tormented her during her childhood. Her meticulous plan for vengeance unfolds over 16 episodes, each exceeding 45 minutes, making it a substantial and binge-worthy series with plenty of content to dive into.
With its gripping storyline, the series captivated audiences, earning nominations and winning several awards throughout 2023 and 2024.
Discussions about the show on Facebook have been filled with praise, with many viewers ranking it among the top K-dramas they’ve experienced.
“One of the best Kdrama on Netflix,” one commenter noted.
Another viewer appreciated the meticulous nature of the storyline, saying: “It’s really good! I like how smooth the revenge was. Not the typical where the main character kills the enemies. It’s worth watching.”
A third fan echoed these sentiments: “One of the absolute best. Put in the time and the payoff is HUGE. This one will stay with you.”
In addition to its critical acclaim, The Glory also achieved significant viewership, becoming the most popular non-English show on Netflix in 2023. Despite this success, many fans were dismayed to learn that a second season has not been confirmed.
“I wish they would make a second season but I highly doubt it!” one fan expressed, adding: “I’ve watched it twice and will probably watch it again.”
Even if a continuation never materializes, it appears that many fans are still content with the two parts available for streaming on Netflix.
