Meet the cast of The Glory, Netflix's latest hit Korean drama
Brace yourself: new episodes are coming soon.
With the K-Drama genre now fully integrated into our streaming diet here in the UK, it's no surprise that Netflix has another hit on its hands with revenge thriller The Glory.
The series follows a woman who suffered terrible bullying during her early years and seeks to settle the score in adulthood by getting a job as a teacher at the school attended by the children of her enemies.
The series kicked off last year with its initial batch of episodes and returns later this month with the climactic second part — and fans can't wait to find out what it has in store.
