character description

1) Moon Dong-eun (cast.Song Hye-kyo)

During her high school years, she became a victim of school violence for no reason. With no supportive family and teacher to lean on, she suffered without any protection. When she couldn't endure it any longer, she withdrew from school, not to run away but to prepare for revenge against the perpetrators of school violence. Finally, when she appeared before the perpetrators, she gave Dong-eun, the last chance for them to apologize to her, but they showed no remorse

2) Ju Yeong-jeong (cast.Lee Do-hyun)

Like her mother, who runs a large hospital, he also works as a doctor. She seems to live a rich and comfortable life without any worries, but in fact, she is suppressing deep wounds. His father, who prioritized saving lives above all else, was killed by a murderer whom he had saved, and the murderer sends her letters with the same content every time he is in prison. While living in pain with the desire for revenge against the murderer, he meets Dong-eun

3) Kang Hyun-nam (cast.Yeom Hye-ran)

After getting married and having a daughter, Hyunnam works as a maid in a wealthy household to make a living. Her husband often spends his time drinking rather than trying to escape from their difficult life, and he frequently abuses Hyunnam and their daughter. When the violence from her husband becomes too much and he begins to target their daughter, Hyunnam can no longer endure it and asks for help from Dong-eun to escape. Dong-eun helps Hyunnam achieve her goal, and in return, Hyunnam assists Dong-eun in seeking revenge. They become allies.

4) Park Yeon-jin (cast.Lim Ji-yeon)

Yeon-jin is the leader of a group that bullied Dong-eun during her school years. She has a cruel personality and acts recklessly on her own accord. Before Dong-eun, Yeon-jin always harassed other victims, viewing them as toys to be replaced once one disappears. Despite her lifestyle, Yeon-jin is confident that she can always live unscathed and continue living that way. Even when Dong-eun appears after a long time of planning revenge, Yeon-jin disregards her and shows no shame for her actions.

5) Jeon Jae-joon (cast.Park Sung-hoon)

He was a member of the group that bullied Yeon-jin and had a long-time unrequited love for her, but she did not choose him and he remains as her secret lover. He is the son of a wealthy family and has a fierce personality, but his affection and obsession towards his family lineage are unparalleled. He has always fulfilled almost all of Yeon-jin's requests since their school days, and when Yeon-jin intentionally caused an accident, he created a false alibi to protect her.

6) Lee Sara (cast.Kim Hye-ra)

She is the child of a pastor at a large church in Seoul. She had a talent for art since childhood and studied it as a major, and now she is working as an artist. However, she is currently addicted to drugs, using the excuse that she gets artistic inspiration from them. She is one of the individuals who inflicted violence on Dong-eun in high school.

7) Choi Hye-jeong (cast.Cha Ju-young)

Hyejeong is currently working as a flight attendant. Unlike Jaejun and Yeonjin, who are children of wealthy families, Hyejeong is the daughter of a very ordinary family who runs a laundry business. She lives with the belief that if she lives with the wealthy children, her own status will also rise. To achieve her goal of social advancement, she selectively meets only rich men who approach her based on her appearance. She is one of the perpetrators who inflicted violence on Dong-eun along with Yeonjin and Jaejun.

8) Son Myung-oh (cast.Kim Geon-woo)

He is one of the perpetrators, but he has the lowest rank among them. He comes from a different family background compared to Jaejun and Yeonjin, who are originally from wealthy families, and also differs from Hyejeong, who became a flight attendant through her own efforts. Son Myung-oh still lives his life by running errands for Jaejun or Sara just like he did in school, which has led him to feel inferior.

9) Ha do-young (cast.Jung Sung-il)

Do-yeong is Yeonjin's husband. He is the head of a successful construction company and the head of a perfect family with a beautiful wife, whom he loves, and a loving daughter. However, after coincidentally encountering Dong-eun while playing baduk, he feels an inexplicable attraction towards her and learns that she is a victim of school violence at the hands of his wife, Yeonjin.

School violence is currently one of the hottest topics in South Korea. The drama "The Glory" is made with such a theme and shows how much pain the victims of school violence carry with them throughout their lives. It serves as a reminder that violence, even if it may seem like innocent childhood pranks, can shake someone's entire life and have a widespread impact on society.
