It's okay drama but nothing special
I watched this drama 3/4 years ago when I stayed up all night to watch half the series. This kdrama just isn't my taste. It could have been better and honestly it's not something I'd watch again. I have nothing against Cha Eun woo and I think his acting is great. I just think there is a better K-dramas to watch and rewatch few times. But this one for me is really no. I try rewatched her few times and I always give up at 5 episode because for me is really nothing special. It's just my opinion about itWas this review helpful to you?
THAT DRAMA THAT EVERYONE SHOULD MUST WATCH ✨
10000000000000000000000000000000000/10This 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 Really love the ost song??
I actually really love their acting especially the main lead and because of this movie he’s now one of my favorite🫠🫠😍, but they would have should the second female lead how she went back to the city I was really expecting something like that cause of how she was in the river but anyway everything was nice.Was this review helpful to you?
An absolute riot
I enjoyed this so much, I knew I had to watch it and was not disappointed. The girlies are amazing, I absolutely loved Fluke in his role, almost a pity it was only 4 episodes but with the plot 4 eps was totally fine. The plot is crack-y and over the top, but it makes it fun! Probably not for everyone, but it's definitely worth checking out.Was this review helpful to you?
oh my god what a lowlife
Woah, a revenge drama if I’ve ever seen one, satisfying from start to finish. You know the acting was immaculate if you ended up despising half of the characters. I’m sad I didn’t watch it earlier, it was so funny but like kind of absurd? but it also had me on the edge of my seat. I loved how quickly the show moved while it didn’t feel rushed at all.Was this review helpful to you?
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.

What in the psycho did I just watch?
The only redeeming thing about this show is Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawa. He is dreamy to look at and a great actor. All of the other acting sucked to me. Especially Ming and Sol.The biggest thing for me was he knocks him out with a bat, chains him up, uses him, possessive, loves another man...and we're supposed to believe this love story of Joe loving him?! And we're supposed to feel sorry for Ming...that he truly loves him or something?
I'm sorry but this romance did not romance for me.

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.

Same old Chinese historical romance template
Underwhelmed. Liu Xue Yi's acting is solid as always, but the female lead couldn't keep up. The story is nothing new.I think the most interesting romance was between the king and the princess. I cannot stand their age-gap, but their acting really sold their love for one another. The female actress brought out the princess's natural youthful naivety. The emperor's romance arc was written and acted out well. The actor was able to convey the character's care and concern for the princess outside of her beauty and how seamlessly it developed into the deep love they eventually have for each other.

Terrible. Too many misunderstandings for my liking.
*MASSIVE SPOILER*I got to episode 5 and dropped it. BUT I was wanting to see if misunderstandings were ever cleared so I waited til episode 10 came out then skipped around. It took 8 episodes. Than just forgives Akin from keeping everything from him, leaving, not letting Than explain, and being a complete ass to Than.
I was rooting for Pond and Don. Really the only reason that I even got to episode 5. I don't understand why they just killed off Don like WTF was that for. It was so random and uncalled for.
Pond crying so hard then at the wedding too. Breaks my heart that the writers would do that. Knowing Pond and Don had up and downs. I thought they were gonna overcome everything and be end game, then it was like nope sorry.
Also Than being obsessive of Akin and the past, like let that bs go. I mean I get he wants to know why Akin left but Akin was set on not telling him. Moving in next door. Come on now. I was cringing so hard.
The only scenes I really watched were the ones with Don and Pond and with the employees at the company. The employees were great and kept the series going too.
ANYWAYS it was a terrible show for me. If you care more about the second main couple (Don and Pond), I don't recommend to watch since it doesn't end well. Ngl I wish I just didn't start it back up after 5 so I wouldn't be so disappointed about Don and Pond. 😭
Also, I RARELY write reviews. I had to on this one cause it pissed me off.
Despite all this, the acting was good for everyone. They all had chemistry.
I'm strictly reviewing it based on the plot. There's more to the plot that made it bad in my opinion BUT I'm not getting into that. The death was the number 1 in my book. Some say it was good and I respect that SO respect my opinion as well for giving it a low rating. We all have our preferences.

✨ Unique story with nice CP and their peaceful mutual friendship in their love story ✨
Okay… Finally finished it... So here is my opinion. Who got it got it, who don't don't. Its okay...I cried a couple of times in last eps. OMG I didn't thanked I will honestly... I finished last 7 eps in one take. They wrapped it up well. It didn’t feel rushed. Er Lan is beautiful in women’s clothes and makeup. Younger was beautiful too. The makeup was amazing. That little girl, Flower, looks so much like Zhou Ye, it’s insane. I was like, why this plot now? But they wrapped it up well with Younger and her love for flowers and the poison cure.
I am so pissed about how she died. So pissed she died in such a stupid way, and they let her go like that.
I knew the whole time Mr. Bei was him under the mask — I was just waiting for that heartbreaking part. CL did an amazing job in the last scene of episode 30. The pain and madness were so well done. Him with long, messy hair is the best — such a shame they didn’t show that look more often. Chu Ran is such a beauty, I don’t even have words for her. CL was great as Dan, but I definitely can imagine some another actors playing him with a darker, more intense script also as WY. I think he could do much more with this too, also more darker, but they just didn't, they make him more cute than mad. Couple times he was like mad tyrant. I love Ryan really I do! Now I like CR because it was first time watching her. Still, he was cute and did such a good job. Both of them did. 👏
Bo got what he deserved — he went crazy. That leg thing was unexpected. 👏
Poor little doctor will forever live in the illusion that Younger is alive. I don’t like it. He deserves to know the truth. Giving him false hope doesn’t sit right with me… 💔
The ending part, when they all look at her as she walks toward him and cries, had such beautiful emotions — it makes your heart flutter. ✨
I liked the ending book scene; it was beautiful. But what was that real-world ending? I just knew it would be short… but it was SO short. 😡 I wanted more. What’s the point of that kind of ending if they have a happy ending in the book? I don’t get it. Are they back immediately or what? 😵💫 Help, give me an explanation… I hate when they leave us to figure everything out. Did they die in the book as old people and then go back? Or immediately? They should have given us one special episode in the real world. How much times I must say in big dramas I wont forgive directors or scriptwriter fort this fast ending scenes. I even dont even care anymore. Maybe because of that I started to have less faith in bigger dramas from last half of a year. Maybe because of it my thinking of rating will be different this time.
Don’t blame me, but I must say I didn’t feel overwhelming passion — I felt chemistry and a lot of friendship chemistry. My heart didn’t flutter when they kissed, but I felt peace. It was that typical friends-to-lovers thing, which I love. It felt natural. For me, honestly, they felt like a true friendship couple — which isn’t bad at all. It’s actually really good, and I love that.
In the end, I want to say it was a nice drama. It had a bit of a boring political part — I watched some of it on 2x speed. I’ve started doing that more with big dramas because they can be slow and I want to save time. From halfway through, I felt like something was slightly missing — not in a bad way. Maybe I just wanted more, but that’s on me.
The last episodes were really great, and after the ending, I knew what rating I would give it. For the first time in a long time, I might give a drama 9.5 and not 10 — just because it feels right. Sometimes I give microdramas or mini dramas a 10 and then think, why did I rate this lower? But that’s just how it resonates with me. I can’t explain it. It’s not the script, not the acting, not the actors — I loved them. I just feel this rating is right from my point of view. If you ask me why, I can only say it’s my feeling and intuition telling me to rate it that way. I just know my consciousness after 3 years of watching cdramas is different and my taste became so picky or I just get bored because I now see how cdrama works. I need excitement more, not just quality. I need to something to make me think of it every day and cant wait to watch it as some dramas did. I didn't lost interest. I still watching just cdramas. Nothing else. But I cant deny I enjoyed. Its after so long I finally finished some big drama. Thats good enough for me. Definitely is 9.5 because of some things I would like to be different or better portrayed. Even tho. I recommend this unique story because it was lovely.
I loved when and how they used How are you and Thank you, and you sentences. 💕
Kudos to all of them — and of course to the costume designer, makeup artists, and hairstylists. It was a great journey, even though I didn’t read the novel. Thanks to the writer for such a unique story. ✨💕🥰

The music is so good
Pretty much what you can expect from a school drama adapted from a webtoon. OP main character. Rag tag team of students who grow to trust one another. Teacher who doesn't give up on her students. Although I felt like the teacher's role was a little weak. But if you want to watch an unstoppable main character who rids the school of its oppressor, this is an easy to watch option.Was this review helpful to you?
