  • The original Netflix series The Glory tells the story of Moon Dong-eun, a victim of school violence, who seeks out each of the perpetrators and exacts a brutal revenge. It serves as a stark reminder of the seriousness of school bullying and also offers a message of hope and consolation to crime victims. In contrast, the drama Doctor Cha portrays revenge through brilliant personal growth, even when one’s family and life betray them. As she re-enters the path of medicine she dreamed of as a child, she begins a revenge play against life, using her growth as a weapon. But where did the beautiful revenge acts of Moon Dong-eun in The Glory and Jeong-suk in Doctor Cha take place?
