In The Glory, revenge is portrayed as a life-long architectural project. Song Hye-kyo’s performance as Moon Dong-eun is a masterclass in stillness and restrained fury. The script meticulously avoids the pitfalls of generic 'action' revenge, focusing instead on psychological territorialism.
The Go Metaphor
The game of Baduk (Go) serves as the structural spine of the series. Just as in the game, Dong-eun doesn't attack head-on; she surrounds her opponents' lives, slowly depleting their air until they realize they have already lost.
