Revenge is a dish best served cold and no one showed it better than Moon Dong-eun in Netflix’s The Glory. The much-anticipated second part of the K-drama recently finished airing and it might just be an understatement to say that it left us reeling. Song Hye-kyo’s Dong-eun finally metes out her revenge plans to all her bullies but there’s hint of more, with Joo Yeo-jeong (Lee Do-hyun) yet to punish his father’s killer. Although there is no news of the show being renewed just yet, here are some similar K-dramas that you can binge on in the meantime.

1. Revenge of Others

Perhaps one of the closest in theme to The Glory, this K-drama also looks at the far-reaching effects of high school bullying. It follows Ok Chan-mi (played by Shin Ye-eun of The Glory) a high school student, whose twin brother, Ok Chan-kyu, had died under mysterious circumstances. Although it had been ruled as suicide, Chan-mi is sure there is something more to it. While she is seeking the truth behind his death, she befriends allies like Ji Soo-heon (played by Lomon of All of Us Are Dead fame) who takes revenge on behalf of victims of bullying. Aplenty with twists, this K-drama is worth a watch with impressive performances from the cast.

2. My Name

A noir delight, this 2021 K-drama centres around Yoon Ji-woo (played by Han So-hee) who has been raised by Choi Mu-jin, a crime lord,and his gang after Ji-woo’s father’s death. Mu-jin trains Ji-woo from a young age to be a skilled fighter and a ruthless killer.

However, she soon finds out a shocking truth about the reality of Mu-jin and his intentions. My Name features a brutal, ruthless, and deeply wronged protagonist whose action-packed journey is sure to keep the audience hooked.

3. Reborn Rich

This gripping Song Joong-ki starrer features two timelines and Song in a dual role. Yoon Hyun-woo (played by Song) is one of Soonyang Group’s most trusted employees. However, he is wrongfully removed by a family member of the group to cover up the corrupt schemes running in the company. In a shocking turn of events, he soon finds himself transported to the body of the youngest son of the family in the year 1987. Using his experience as an employee and his knowledge of the future, he then climbs to the top ranks of the family, planning to seek revenge. With a compelling plot and a series of brilliant performances, Reborn Rich makes for an impressive watch.

4. The World of the Married

This 2019 K-drama is one of the highest rated K-series of all time and rightly so. It follows Ji Seon-u (Kim Hee-ae), a doctor with a seemingly perfect family until she realises that her husband is cheating on her with the younger Yeo Da-kyung (Han So-hee). What follows is a series of increasingly tension-filled situations where Seon-u tries to rebuild her family, seek revenge and also, make her husband pay. The plot for this K-drama is taut with multiple incidents and grey tones to everyone’s characters. It is a riveting, watch not only for the plot, but also for the intricate characterisation.

5. Eve

Seo Ye-ji shines in a powerful performance as the charming Lee La-el in her comeback K-drama, Eve. La-el is the daughter of a scientist who had been wrongfully murdered by the fictional LY Group, one of the biggest corporates of South Korea. La-el seeks revenge, plotting for almost 13 years and targets the group’s next-in-line, Kang Yoon-gyeom. She eventually sues him for a trillion won divorce that stirs nationwide controversy and therefore, an interest in the chaebol family and their activities. Will her revenge free La-el or will it consume her? Watch to find out.

6. Reflection of You

Another female centric K-drama, this one stars Shin Hyun-been of Hospital Playlist fame as Jeong Hui-ju, an art teacher who strikes up a bond with Jeong Hee-joo (Go Hyun-jung), a successful painter but with past wounds that involves a death from her youth. A definite slow burn, the details of the murder are revealed only at the very end of the series. Although it is not a very taut plot, it is a must-watch if you want to see the storyline’s complicated intricacies unfold with preciseness.
