"All people have different faces so that they can live different lives"
Here me out!! I usually don't enjoy korean movies but this one is an absolute masterpiece. It's realistic unlike other korean shows featuring "perfect lives" "perfect friendships". This movie is so sweet and made me tear up at the end. It shows how your soulmate doesn't have to be your romantical partner rather it can be your best friend who knows you the best , who understands you the best. I love how the friendship between two of the bestfriends isn't perfect. Its so simple yet it gave a new way to think about life and the friends I have around me. I absolutely loved this movie._**Cast**_
The cast was amazing. The directors used the right people to star in this movie. Byeon Wooseok has been talked about alot lately and he is also present here so if you're his fan then just start watching this movie already. Kim Dami and the other actress ( I don't know her name unfortunately) did an excellent job too. Didn't watch any of kim Dami's projects in a while but this made me want to see her in more shows and movies.
_**overall thoughts**_
I want to keep this short and spoiler free so all i want to say is that I highly recommend this movie to anybody. Even if you really like romantic movies ( it doesn't have that many romantic scenes ) i highly suggest you to watch this. Trust me you won't regret it. And you'll most definitely get another meaning to friendship after watching this movie.

A drama i watched during my finals. Was it worth it?
I have a few things to say about this kdrama. First of all this kdrama is different and odd from all the other past entwined kdramas I have seen. The storyline has amazing and it got even more interesting towards the end. The ending was logical unlike most kdramas that have to do with unreal concepts or plots. But there's one thing that really bothered me throughout the whole show. And thats how the ml amd fl lead met when they were 9 and 12 and fell in love it might seem really cute but think about it a child and a pre teen falling in love?! Its really weird and creepy imo. The characters were quite dry. The ml and his Secretary literally had no joy in life at all. You'll understand what i mean when you watch the show. Im really satisfied with the ending tho. It was logical and clear and not messy or a sudden happening. Thats it. I still recommend this drama because of the storyline and the progess of its development.Was this review helpful to you?
Love doesn't count any losses
To begin with, this drama had potential and started off with a great beginning that kept me wanting to see more. The leads had known eachother for a long time before they developed a romantic relationship but one thing that i didnt like is how they fell in love all of a sudden. I feel like enough time was not given to form a proper connection between the leads. The falling in love part happened a bit too quickly. I liked the second lead couple more their story was unique from the start. The main lead couple had too many misunderstandings towards the end and there were to many things to take within such a short period of time.I did like the fact that 3 couples were portrayed in this show i think that made it even more watchable and enjoyable. If it was the main couple alone then the show would be plain boring. To me this show kind of lost its potential with the way they made the main couple approach into engaging into a serious romantic relationship. I couldn't read either of them and what they wanted.
No gain no love also explores the idea of relationships ( not only romantically), forgiveness, friendship and how you should do some things right now because you never know how much time you have. Towards the end things get messy but better in some ways.
There is a bit of mystery and murder in this show and that added another puzzle of entertainment to all the other elements. I would say overall this show is quite unique from the other 26 kdramas I've seen so far. Its good if you want to watch something new in the kdrama world. Its short so I'd recommend it personally.

Disappointment
I had such high expectations from this show and all it did was just bring disappointment to me. I really don't know why this show has such good reviews. Its clearly overrated. You guys are only cheering for this kdrama because of Somg kang and Kim Yoo Jung ( no hate to the cast they did an amazing job) let me explain what im trying to say.______story______
This kdrama started off strong and had so much potential trust me. Upto episode 4 I was hooked but overtime I just wanted this show to finish asap because of the repetitiveness of misunderstandings with the leads. The leads looked so good together but they doesn't really justify how they used to hate eachother and oneday all of a sudden they fell in love. It just doesn't make sense to me. Also from like episode 8 they had soo many misunderstandings between them. Too many misunderstandings between the main leads is a turn off for me. Also the past life story is overused and was just to make the kdrama long enough to reach 16 episodes.
_______Main leads_____
Now when i say main keads im only talking about the characters in the kdrama and not the actors irl. I didnt like Jeong Gu won too much. His personality never changed not even a little bit even after he got closer to humans. As a demon i know he has a very high ego but calling humans insignificant every two minutes even after marrying a human- tell me about it. Do do hee was fine. The "cold heiress" term only matches her till episode 3 or 4 after that she isn't even cold. Shes a soft person but talks less with most people thats it. Nothing was wrong with her personality.
______Ending_____
The ending could be better- much better there were too many plot holes in the last episode and i dont like "all of a sudden" because of something magical fate changing endings. Here the writers were too desperate to give a happy ending it felt rushed and unexplained.
_______Would I recommend?_______
Personally, even after yapping so much about why I dont like this drama i still would recommend it to people since so many people love it. The person I'm recommending it to might just be like most of you here and might end up putting this show on their top tens.

Such a thrilling show,
This is my first ever review on this website and i highly recommend the glory to anybody who loves revenge, mystery and thriller. I was very hesitant about watching this show and i would forget my memory to watch it again. This show kept me hooked till the very end. I love how the villains's lives were also portraited as much as the main leads lives. Two of the villains specifically had amazing chemistry and i would love to see them again in another show. Also the romance was kept minimal which i appreciate very much. Song hye kyo and lim ji yeon killed here. I've become a huge fan of them.However i must say this show was a bit confusing at times for example some scenes didnt give proper answers to the previous ones and some questions were kept unanswered. If you get scared easily and bullying/ violence is not your thing then i would say this show might not be for you but overall i think its a beautifully produced and directed show even though i think it would've been better if the main fl punished her bullies with her own hands.
If you want to watch this show or have been thinking about watching it then trust me go watch it rn you wont regret it at all. Its the perfect time to watch the glory now as its November and the glory goes so well wih this weather.
Thanks for reading my review. I hope this helped make up your mind. Have a wondeful day bye ♡
