Part 2 which dropped this Friday opened with 9.4 on Douban an insanely high rating … Continue reading →
One of the reasons by The Glory is sooooo good is that the antagonist Park Yeon Jin played by K-actress Lim Ji Yeon is absolutely f*#king-lutely horrific.

Okay, maybe not for another few hours for some of us not yet crossed into March 10th but this Friday is the global release of Part 2 of The Glory, the Netflix hit K-drama which premiered Part 1 on December 31st to end last year with a bang.

There is a chance that The Glory could become mega-successful screenwriter Kim Eun Sook‘s “best” drama when all is said and done, and that’s a epic feat to pull off.

I am loving all these additional tidbits for Netflix hit drama The Glory, making the behind-the-scenes look at the drama more compelling compared to what was seen in the final product. Writer Kim Eun Sook revealed that her script had a kiss scene between Song Hye Kyo and Lee Do Hyun but it was the PD who cut it from … Continue reading →

I love seeing growth in young actors and actresses and this year 2022 has been great for Shin Ye Eun. She luckily or unfortunately (depends on how you see it) debuted as a female lead in She is Psychometric rather than working her way up the supporting roles and not being amazing off the bat has yielded a string of … Continue reading →
It’s a certified hit in both Netflix viewership and now also domestic South Korean buzz for The Glory, which did not have a terrestrial airing so there is no way to compare it to standard ratings.
