The Glory, a suspenseful Korean revenge drama on Netflix, is sweeping the internet—with international fans everywhere deeming it "insanely good" and even superior to the global phenomenon Squid Game.

The 16-episode series, with a 93% viewership rating, has turned into a sleeper success with audiences hailing its emotional resonance, slow-building tension, and unsettling depiction of trauma and revenge.

As reported by Koimoi, viewers who weren't expecting much at first have been left eager at the extent to which the story resonates.

The film revolves around Moon Dong-eun, a woman who was brutally bullied throughout high school.

Scarred, both physically and emotionally, by her experiences, she plots an intricate revenge plan against her tormentors.

Now a teacher in adulthood, she places herself in positions of proximity to the children of her tormentors, creating a tense and complex cycle of revenge.

Not like the frenetic, thrill-a-minute thrillers, The Glory is unhurried and textured. Each scene is heavy with import, gradually pulling the audience further into Dong-eun's reality.

The Glory has gained a solid base of support among international viewers eager for richer, more emotionally nuanced Korean dramas since Squid Game's phenomenal success.

But whereas Squid Game delivered high-concept spectacle, The Glory substitutes chaos for tranquility—permitting emotion and character to drive the storytelling.

It features Song Hye-kyo in what has been said to be one of the best performances of her life, with writing and direction applauded for its pacing and nuance.

It's points out that a number of newbie K-drama fans were drawn in by the hype—and have now claimed The Glory as their all-time favorite Netflix show.

As the drama keeps on trending across the world, the hype around The Glory refuses to die down.

With its subtly devastating narrative, powerful performances, and indelible moments, it could well end up being Netflix's next long-lasting Korean classic.
