Perfect!

My goodness! The stepmother was awful! Even her voice was disgusting when I heard it. Superb acting from the cast. Though I must say Sung Hoon was a bit behind. He is very good at humour and other scenes though. This drama is a very good adaptation of marry my husband manwha. This is what I wished the drama was. I have not yet read the manwha for this however the characters are written to well. Each episode was engaging and satisfying. It got received punishment for their actions that was fitting. I adored this! Each episode was enough. It did not drag. It was engaging. I like that they didn’t let Jung wook off with the pitiful child and disabled excuse. He simply used it as a crotch to be a wicked person. Like YuRa. They both had all they could ask for. And used it to abuse their siblings. I’m glad that nobody forgave them. Or settled with the forgiving tactic. Sun Jin’s son deserved more punishment for what he did to Yi Joo. Same with her father. Yura should’ve been kicked out by her father. He should’ve found out that she wasn’t his daughter either then then be disowned for what she do to Jiyoo. We should’ve seen it and be satisfied. My goodness! Either way, I am still happy with this masterpiece! 💋

Madness, Mayhem and Too Many Emotions

Let me start of by saying that I LOVE THIS DRAMA ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Although the plot and the theme of the drama is far beyond overused, however this drama did a wonderful job in every aspect required.

I will try to write my review without much spoilers.

The writer and the director did a wonderful job in how the pacing of the story went, there was not even a scene that was not required, or was not entering. I normally don't have much expectation of the live action as the production team often tend to add their on take, however this drama managed to stay true to the original story (There were minuscule changes, if I am being 100% honest, but don't care 🤷🏻‍♀️).

Whoever did the casting for this drama requires a pay raise, as they did a fabulous job in finding Yu Wan Yin / Wang Cui Hua and Xiahou Dan / Zhang San. The actors did a wonderful job in brining the characters alive and their chemistry was absolutely marvellous. Starting from the main leads to the side characters, every character was well paid. The male lead (Ryan Cheng) did an excellent job of portraying various emotions as well go deeper into the story. His facial expression are great to the point sometimes I find myself smiling as a response to the scene. The FL (Wang Chu Ran) was great choice as well as she portrayed a FL who was trying to survive a storyline that went against her, her mannerisms and action were spot on and held my attention. One other character I would like to mention is Tang Xiao Tian who played Xiahou Bo (The villain/original ML). I hated his character till the very end to the point I had no sadness when he was in the state he was, but that goes to show how much of an incredible actor he is and his efforts towards the drama, so hats off to him. Also the fact that he is trying an antagonistic character for a change out side of his ML role shows his artistic perception and abilities.

The OST of this drama is also peace worthy as it combined comedic elements where needed as well as some OST's did an excellent job in elevating the mood within the drama.

Overall, it is a well presented drama in the recent years of this particular genre.

I would 100% rewatch this drama.

THAT DRAMA THAT EVERYONE SHOULD MUST WATCH ✨

10000000000000000000000000000000000/10
This was the first drama I reviewed while I was still watching it (and I was only on episode 4) and now I've finished it and WHAT AN INCREDIBLE DRAMA, I BEG YOU TO WATCH IT IF YOU LIKE TO SMILE A LOT. 🫶
It's incredible from beginning to end, there isn't a bad episode, on the contrary, it only gets better with each episode, you smile until your stomach hurts (in my case 🤣) it's that comfort drama and now that I've finished it I'm so devastated, I think I'll have to watch it again in a while.
More than 200 dramas watched and I can say with certainty that this was the best I've ever watched (it sounds like an exaggeration, but it's really very good).

it is not worth of your precious time

This is probably the worst drama series I have ever seen – although I couldn’t even bring myself to watch the last episodes. The female lead is written so poorly that no one could possibly relate to her. She wallows in self‑pity all the time and does nothing to improve her situation. If she isn’t crying, she’s either raging hysterically or so drunk that she embarrasses herself completely night after night. Does anyone even know what she actually does for a living? She spends most days lying in bed, crying over her miserable love life. It’s entirely her own fault that her life is so unhappy. And her parents, with their manipulative behavior, certainly don’t help improve the situation. None of the other characters in the series are pleasant either, nor are they people one would ever want to get to know. I don’t understand why a series about such unpleasant people was ever made.

The series also gives a strange impression of Korean people. Friends and relatives are at times treated very violently and harshly. This includes both emotional and outright physical violence. Alcohol use also seems to be a national problem, if one were to assume that the series reflects real Korean life.

i watched it multiple years later, here’s my opinion

There are very few korean shows I’ve watched right after they’ve been released and there’s always a small chance that I’ll watch it it if the show blows up. I’ve been disappointed before with those kinds of shows, so I stayed away from “The glory”.
So here’s my totally honest opinion on the show now when it isn’t the topic of most convos.
I actually really liked it, I can understand why it was so popular back then. The storyline was well-built and the actors and actresses did such a good job with their characters. And it was quite rewarding to watch, everyone got their own karma and those who suffered could breathe again after feeling like they were drowning and no one cared.
It was one strong revenge drama, although the ending was not left all the way open but they didn’t conclude the series too punctually either, it was an interesting take definitely.

whoever thinks this is good... give me your pot ?

I starter watching this after reading the stellar reviews.
Currently on episode 1... I hope its one of those dramas which get better over time.

So far this a cringe show and a pretty boring one.
The acting is really "soap opera" like and so is the editing.
Sometime is hard to even hear some actor speak.

This first episode doesn't make any sense. A guy falls from such a tall building yet he is alive?
The step bro seemed to have some kind of relationship with the ml but nobody's rushes to the hospital.. not even to save some face?
Your sister just tried to murder your step bro... aren't you in..shock?

On episode 4: still waiting for the "funniest lines" some reviewers have ever heard.
The characters are frankly boring as hell and the acting is either too extreme or lacking in its entirety.

The ml character is so boring and Franky not a great actor.
I don't even know why she is so obsessed with him.
In the real world she didn't know him and only witnessed his assassination's attempt.
In this "fictional" world it would make more sense if she felt some kind of "obligation" to make him happy to repay him of her shortcoming (not going to the police) in the real world.

Cringe, senseless and boring.
I'm dropping it.

Better finish the novel

The 1st half was really enjoyable than the 2nd half of the drama. It has comedy in it but halfway through it lost its main theme. Specially the last few episodes, THOSE EPISODES, I just didn't get the meaning behind adding all those plots.
It might be because i finished the novel first but the way they changed the main core of the plot, it was a bit la-cking? Maybe i was expecting a bit too much. Still, overall the drama was good.
I loved the mc in the 1st half more.
Talking about acting. It is 10!! I loved all the actors acting specially the actor who played Ma Yang.
