Dong Eun’s mother and Kang Hyeon Nam’s husband selected among the biggest villains in “The Glory”
At 5 p.m. on March 10th, all 8 episodes of Netflix’s “The Glory” Part 2 (written by Kim Eun Sook/ directed by Ahn Gil Ho were released, completing the full series of 16 episodes. “The Glory” depicts the story of the revenge plan meticulously designed by Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo) against those who bullied her in high school. Part 2 focused on the crack between the five school violence perpetrators.
The performance of Jung Mi Hee (Park Ji Ah), Moon Dong Eun’s mother, and Lee Seok Jae (Ryu Sung Hyun), Kang Hyeon Nam’s husband, are among the highlights of Part 2.
Jung Mi Hee played a prominent role as another ‘curling iron’ of Dong Eun. Despite knowing that her daughter was severely bullied in the past, she sided with the bullies for money twice. She visited Dong Eun’s school and actively approached the parents to ‘isolate’ her daughter, making viewers angry with her shameless and crazy evil acts under the title of family.
In particular, actress Park Ji Ah impressed viewers with her powerful acting alongside Song Hye Kyo. With her orange hair and red lipstick, she portrayed the character’s ruthless behavior and perfectly expressed the line, “the biggest perpetrator of school bullying is the victim’s family.”
Kang Hyeon Nam’s husband Lee Seok Jae played by Ryu Sung Hyun is another villain in “The Glory” Part 2. This character is a violent husband who always asks Kang Hyeon Nam to bring money to him. He eventually falls into the desire for money and is used as a card to threaten Park Yeon Jin’s mother.
Lee Seok Jae’s screen time in Part 1 was not very notable, but in Part 2, his character becomes a major villain, and his despicable actions, such as bullying his wife Kang Hyeon Nam and his daughter Lee Sun Ah (Choi Soo In), also intensify. Ryu Sung Hyun’s amazing portrayal of a violent husband was so convincing that made viewers feel deeply moved by Kang Hyeon Nam’s unwavering power in the face of abuse to protect her daughter.
After the release of Part 2, an online survey was conducted for viewers to choose the worst villains in “The Glory”. As a result, “The Glory” ended by creating not only 5 school violence perpetrators but also other unique villains, such as the violent husband Lee Seok Jae, the ‘first perpetrator’ Dong Eun’s mother, and teacher Choo (Heo Dong Won).
