Recommendations After Watching The Glory

Here are some K-dramas that would have themes of revenge, fighting for justice, or power, strong female leads, and dramatic storylines:

La Penthouse 2020-2022

Like The Glory, The Penthouse is an action drama full of revenge, treason, and class struggle. This is a story that happens in the exclusive apartment house. It centers around the lives of rich families who do whatever it takes to retain their status and have their children succeed. As the unfolding of the story, this series packs many twists and shocking moments, hence an intense follow-up.

Vincenzo (2021)

Vincenzo is a dark comedy about a Korean-Italian mafia lawyer who is back to Korea to retrieve a hidden fortune. He fights corrupt conglomerates, handing out his own brand of justice on the way. These are all themes that would fit in well with revenge and sharp-witted series like The Glory.

Sky Castle (2018)

If you enjoyed the social commentary in The Glory, then Sky Castle makes a similar but much deeper examination into South Korea's elite. It tells an extreme level of efforts at ensuring the future of children from fiercely competitive and high-class families, and everything reveals here on dark aspects of privilege and ambition.

Signal (2016)

It's a crime thriller in which modern-day detective communicates with a detective from the past using a walkie-talkie to solve cold cases. With strong female characters and complex storytelling, Signal is sure to come off well with fans of suspense and justice-driven themes found in The Glory.

My Name (2021)

My Name is an action revenge thriller which sees a young woman go undercover in the police force to avenge the murder of her father. Thronged with action scenes, strong performances, and a determined female lead, this drama again repeats the intense desire for revenge, as seen in The Glory.

Lawless Lawyer (2018)

Lawless Lawyer tells the story of a former gangster-turned-lawyer who uses his fists and knowledge of the law to destroy corrupt figures while seeking vengeance for his mother's death. In this revenge-driven series, strong female protagonists, long-courtroom battles, and the fight for justice make the series a perfect fit for the melodrama with emotional depth.

Crash Landing on You (2019)

This romantic drama tells the love story of a South Korean heiress who, in the course of a paragliding accident, ends up in North Korea and falls for a North Korean soldier. Crash Landing on You has lighter moments than The Glory but offers enough emotional depth related to love and survival against all odds.

Goblin (2016)

This fantasy romance with pretty delicate craft is about a goblin cursed with immortality who seeks a human bride to end his life. Love, destiny, and sacrifice for the feels done in stunning visuals make it a very interesting watch for fans looking for something heavy on emotion.

Hotel del Luna (2019)

If supernatural is what you're looking for, Hotel del Luna is a romantically haunting series about a hotel catering to ghosts while being managed by a strong-willed woman cursed to stay there for 1,000 years. This harmony of supernatural elements and emotional storylines makes it a great watch for viewers who enjoyed the powerful female character in The Glory.
