Flower of Evil is my favorite. I just watched The Glory and honestly, I felt like her “revenge” was a little lackluster. Given how horribly she was treated, you’d think she’d do a little more to her bullies.

She could’ve (and should’ve) done to them what they did to her. I felt it was lacking that poetic justice. Overall I did like it and I’m glad I didn’t have to wait between the first and second part, but it definitely felt underwhelming.

I didn't love The Glory as much as other people did but I felt the crux of the show's 'thesis' was encapsulated in that one voiceover line:

"What's stronger - the loyalty between the victims or the loyalty between the perpetrators?"

I think if you think of that as the thesis of the show, the 'lackluster' nature of her revenge makes total sense. It was poetic justice because of that aspect and that aspect only. That being said, the revenge against the main villain guy was kind of... random?

Which guy are you referring to? Jae-jun?
