On March 12th, a post on the Korean online community The Qoo caught the attention of netizens with the title “The Characters in ‘The Glory’ who Spread Mental Illness Beyond the Screen.” In the post, the author wrote, “The real villains in ‘The Glory’ are not Jeon Jae Joon (Park Sung Hoon), Park Yeon Jin (Lim Ji Yeon), and Lee Sa Ra (Kim Hieora), but Jung Mi Hee (Park Ji Ah) and Kang Young Chun (Lee Moo Saeng). Please tone down your acting skills.”
In “The Glory,” Park Ji Ah plays Jung Mi Hee, the mother of Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo). She received compensation money from the bullies who hurt her daughter and took their side, abandoning her daughter. Later, Jung Mi Hee visits the school where Moon Dong Eun is a teacher after listening to what Park Yeon Jin told her to do. She causes trouble and ultimately ends up in a mental hospital. With her orange hair and red lipstick, she angers viewers with her eerie expressions and mocking laughter.
On the other hand, Lee Moo Saeng plays Kang Young Chun, the enemy of the male lead Joo Yeo Jeong (Lee Do Hyun) in “The Glory.” He was caught on the spot after killing Joo Yeo Jeong’s father during a surgery at the hospital, and was sentenced to death. Even after receiving the sentence, he sends letters showing no regrets to Joo Yeo Jeong, further infuriating viewers.
Netizens who saw the post left comments such as “I agree,” “They are human beings who have truly crossed the line,” and “I was more angry at them than at the school bully.”
“The Glory” tells the story of a woman who was broken to the point of losing her soul due to childhood violence and the whirlwind of people who get caught up in her meticulous revenge plan. The show is divided into two parts, “Part 1” and “Part 2.”
In “Part 1,” Moon Dong Eun completes her revenge plan after enduring years of pain and suffering and reveals herself to the perpetrators with the help of those who agreed to support her. In “Part 2,” Moon Dong Eun takes revenge on those who wronged her.
“Part 2” was released on Netflix on March 10th at 5 p.m KST.
