The only character development that Yeon Jin got was telling the weather without a script

when she was telling the weather forecast in the prison, i feel like she truly realised that she lost everything, and she can never come back from it. i believe doing the weather forecast in prison made her realise how much she missed her life. it’s so satisfying to see her lose everything, both her teen and adult actress were very talented.

At first, I thought the revenge was too light. But now I think it’s the perfect revenge because she lost everything: her career, her daughter, her marriage, her affair, her friends, her mother, her freedom and now as we see in this scene even her ability to intimidate others as she becomes a potential bully target herself. The craziest part is Dong eun didn’t have to forcefully take them away from her, she was surrounded by shitty people who wouldn’t hesitate to backstab her. And she didn’t hesitate to throw away her marriage to the one sane person in her life. As Dong eun said, “they did it themselves”

she's honestly one of the best female villain I've ever seen portrayed in a tv show. Her acting is really good. I hope to see her more in future drama.

yeon-jin seeing her mother in jail as an inmate must have made her realize there's no hope in getting out of jail for her anymore

This woman honestly deserves an Emmy. Her acting is incredible.

I think another layer to Dong eun's revenge is that Yeong jin's ending mirrors dong eun's school years. Stuck in a prison with bullies who make her perform and harm her while watching her own mother ignore everything.

Imagine, if she was just a nice person, her life would be perfect right now. She had a rich, handsome husband, a glorious career and a sweet daughter.

Her mentally snapping and doing a crazed run of her news report was HILARIOUS

Even though she‘s the evil one, I was always looking forward to her scenes. Her acting is superb and she surely knows how to captivate the audience.

She is such a paper tiger. Remember in the first episode when she tried to force Dong-eun to dance and Dong-eun refused? Here when the other inmates force her to do the forecast she immediately complies without question. She wouldn't be able to withstand her own bullying.

Came back to remark on how mindblowingly good this actress was in owning this scene. If you look past the immediate, cathartic, villain-gets-comeuppance satisfaction to the scene, actress Lim Jiyeon knocks it out of the park by displaying 5 distinct emotions in one minute; but more impressively, at any given moment you can see 2-3 of these emotions simultaneously competing to be the 'main' emotion displayed on her face. 1. Weathergirl 'cheeriness' - this is the first and most obviously visible facial expression but also the least authentic, as inmate 3886 is merely playing a character to scratch the other inmates' boredom 2. Humiliation - just underneath the facade of the smile you can sense her loss of dignity (the same dignity she stole from her many victims); she's become nothing more than a plaything for convicted criminals. She fights this emotion to remain in weathergirl character because dwelling on it leads to .. 3. Sadness - the smile on her lower face remains but her welling eyes and eventual trickling tear betrays her inner sorrow and abject loneliness - everyone she's ever known turned their backs on her or threw her under the bus (her mom most of all). It's at this moment the viewer might feel an inkling of sympathy, until you get a glimpse of the fourth emotion 4. Seething suppressed rage - this is the hardest one to see because her smile and the fifth emotion (fear) prevent it from fully coming up to the surface, but for a split second here and there you see the faint muscle twitches that throughout the whole series were precursors to that familiar lip-curled scowl she made anytime her character heard something annoying from her friends or faced Dong Eun 1v1. Here she fights to suppress that scowl, even as inwardly she's probably thinking, "you lowly bitches, how dare you. Do you think I'm one of you? Do you know who the fuck I am?!", because she's also scared of her fellow inmates so the fear pushes her anger back down. But this shows to me she's not a changed person at all - still the same arrogant, selfish, cruel person. 5. Lastly, there's fear behind that smile - at first her weather report looks identical to her days when she appeared on TV, but as it goes on you see the smile transition to a nervous smile. She's afraid of what these women might do to her even though she's doing what they asked; the sly, almost perverse grin on the main inmate's face makes Yeon Jin dread about how much worse the night might become. To display even one of these is impressive, but the ability to show multiple expressions alternating and vying for screen time. Ate and left no crumbs.

Make sure you teach your children how to apologise to others. Teach them that apologising to someone after they've done them wrong is never about destroying their pride. Let them know that other children are just as precious as they are.

Yeon Jin (episode 9): "Why do the poor believe in such things like poetic justice and karma?" Yeon Jin (episode 1): "I want you to dance for us while we listen to music" (to Dong Eun at her house) Female inmate (episode 16): "Hey cutie, give us tomorrow's weather report"

When she cries while smiling it indicates the Pain inside I was so shocked to see it first time but she totally deserved it. The series really gives hope about Love, Karma and PATIENCE

She deserved an award literally. Her acting is super super impressive

Oh how the tables have turned. She's clearly afraid of her inmates and now she's the bullied character

I felt so bad for her that I had to go back to watch what she did on Episode 1 after finishing the whole series LOL. Well, justified ....

I love how Dongeuns revenge unraveled similarly to how she explained the game Go. All of her enemies territory: their assets, connections and whats precious to them slowly get turned against them and become Dongeuns tools. All those Go scenes are also kinda reminiscent of the Queens Gambit, another one of my all time fav Netflix shows.

I don't feel bad for her at all. She had no remorse for anything. She cheated on her husband multiple times, pushed a young girl to her death, bullied multiple people with permanent scars on their bodies, used her money and power to abuse everyone around her as an adult, and she nearly killed Myeong Oh. Her punishment should have been worse.

She is finally placed at the bottom of the power system, even in the cell. Probably, she was forced to do that by other stronger cell mates for a joke. This is the moment that she realizes how low she fell and tastes the misery that she had always put on others.

The biggest plot twist at least in my view, Dong Eun didn't have to do anything major. Yeon-jin was surrounded by snakes even worse than her all this time and when the time came, they threw her to the wolves. This is the worst punishment she could ever have, she's now somebody's victim. Ji-Yeon gave a stellar performance as a truly vile villain.

If only she abandon her ego and actually feel remorse of what she did wrong...how many chances were there just for her to blow it uselessly? Dong Eun was being so nice by giving her the last chance to repent. Her husband, despite the atrocities she had commited, flat out saying he'd be siding with her in front of her victim, held back for so long and make an actual effort to save her from hellhole only for him to get gaslighted and cussed at by his ungrateful wife. Even until the very end she's holding into her stupid pride for god knows why when she literally has nothing at all. Did she even realized her crimes? Truly a phsycopath to the core.

That was impressive. To have the camera so tight on you and you have to perform a plethora of emotions like that, and make it believable, what an actress.

She lost everyone in her life, her freedom, her wealth, her husband, daughter and mother. Absolutely well deserved punishment. Dongeun added insult to injury and suggested to her that maybe, just maybe, she wasn't the one who killed Myeong-O. So cruel... 😆

this is such a certified Mean Girls "Sweatpants are the only thing that fit me right now" moment.

I admit I had grudges against her character but I applauded her acting skills, especially in this scene. Superb!!!

Her last scene was outstanding. Her acting performance stunned me.

God-tier level acting, Yeon Jinaaa!!!!

When Yeon Jin was called '예쁜이' and hurriedly stood up to do what she was told- this was because '예쁜이' is used for female inmates who are sexually abused in jail. By her cellmates. You could see how much she went through behind bars

its kinda ironic that in the first ep dong eun tells yeon jin in the letter that she hates the summer and shes glad she moved away before it got hotter and in the last ep yeon jin has to report how the weather is getting hotter as she gets bullied. this shows how, from one summer to the next, her revenge has played out and now yeon jin has to suffer.

I have no words to describe how good Lim Jiyeon's acting was in this series. I spent the entire series hating Park Yeonjin, but I loved HATING her so much that I felt so sorry for her in the final episode. It was such a mix of emotions that could only be provoked by the talent of a great actress and a good script

Yeon Jin is at the receiving end this time. Now she knows how it feels like being bullied with no one on her side to help her. Poetic justice indeed. Great series, The Glory.

Her acting and expressions were phenomenal in the drama

Her acting ability is truly amazing as raw emotions are vividly portrayed. She is really great. Speaking of this scene, I think this short scene symbolizes the title of the drama ‘The Glory’. In this scene, a character who has lost everything due to their own fault is punished and shown with unfamiliar criminals. This character is in a state of having lost everything they previously had, including power, money, honor, and family. She meets the mother who abandoned her among the unfamiliar people. Her mother abandoned her, but eventually she finds her mother among strangers, and comes to know that her mother couldn't escape the charge of murder despite abandoning her. Still, She called out to her mother, as if pleading and begging. To me, it seemed like she was asking for love, like a young child. But her mother ignored it. In her punishment, this powerful scene ultimately indicates that there is no one to rely on. She is in hell. I expected her to shed some tears of regret because she lost everything, but she still seems selfish and her tears appear to be due to her miserable reality and pain. However, finally she sheds the same “victim” tears as Dong-eun used to shed. She is living while enduring a cruel reality The title "The glory" represents the downfall of a villain who shone brightly in the past. I think it's the best iconic scene that fits the theme of karma.

She got the punishment she deserved, she lost everything, even her sanity, but it would have been very satisfying to see how the other inmates burned her body. Then she would understand the pain and fear she caused her victims when she tortured them.

I wish Netflix would make a bonus 17th episode….where another 20 years or so have passed since Yeonjin got arrested…where Yeonjin is old and gray, her body covered in scars in the same way as Dongeun by her cell mates and she’s working as a janitor or at the grocery store or something, or some other lowly job like shoveling horse manure. Then one day she sees Moon and the dr guy married with kids living a happy life and Yesol all grown up and Doyeong remarried. I would sure love to see an episode like that

Being mean on screen doesn't make a good villain. All of her facial expression, mannerisms and cues make her so unlikable and terrifying, all the way up until she had everything taken away. Absolute amazing portrayal of a antagonist who honestly, had no character arc to help push her along, just being straight up evil for 16 episodes. She was phenomenal and this show wouldn't be as good without her being the constant source of Dung Euns misery.

It was satisfying to watch how these people were their own demise. Dongeun simply created cracks in their friendship but otherwise they brought eachother down in the end

I kinda laughed when her mother walked right passed her and didn’t claim her. The only one who dodged a bullet was little Ye-Sol because if Yeon Jin hadn’t been exposed for what she did, she would’ve raised Ye-Sol exactly how her mother raised her and end up turning out exactly like them. Like mother, like daughter😂💀

The best ending of this show. It wasn't just teasing someone they physically hurt her and it was attempted murder. They psychologically destroyed her completely and she can't able trust anyone in future ever or live normally so she deserves this long waiting justice.

The significance, I think, of this scene in particular (aside from her reciting the news without a written script) is that it was the last script she read before her life crumbled, so as she's reading it, she's deeply immersing herself in the reality she caused for herself (this is just my opinion)

She did well in her role as a bully. I like her acting. Well done 👍

Lim Yeon Jin deserves BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS award for 'The Glory!

I loved seeing her reap twice as much as what she sowed. My favorite parts was when her mother sold her out and abandoned her. How crazy she went while sobbing beside her, as well as this when she got slapped by the abused lady that was helping Dong-Eun, and this scene. Made to spent years or the rest of her life feeling exactly how she made others feel.

think this was the only time i genuinely felt bad for her. lim jiyeon's portrayal of yeon jin was perfect. from her screaming for her mom to her scrambling to entertain the other inmates. a total devastation of her life was truly the perfect revenge. when you first think of it, it seems mild, but looking back at all the episodes, when someone like yeon jin who grow up with everything handed to her on a silver platter, destined to get away with everything and anything, and a perfect life planned out for her which in the end was able to achieve (until it came crashing down of course) has every single thing stripped from her, something which she never saw coming, it is truly majestic. props to all the actors. you also realize that the mother is just as shallow and yeon jin as a person is a result of her mother's dubious parenting. if she'd been raised well, she probably wouldn't have been the person we saw throughout the series. she calls out to her mom out of desperation like a child, but in the end the mom doesn't claim her because she truly never loved her daughter. in a sense, you feel a bit sad not over yeon jin in specific, but over the reality of a theme that is portrayed many times in the series; twisted parents can make twisted children, & not all parents deserve a child.

This scene is so well acted. Kudos to Ji Yeon.

No wonder she robbed banks when she got outta jail. Seriously, she's a great actor Lim Ji-Yeon

That was a pretty well thought out scene, both mother and daughter fallen from their rich lifestyles to passing each other in the prison hallway.

I see so many comments saying they felt bad for her but am I the only one who didn't feel sympathetic towards her even for one sec. Heck I was grinning like a maniac....idk it was so satisfying to see her humiliated like this. Applause to the actress, she did an amazing job!!

Even though she's evil, they make you kinda feel sad for her because one of the saddest thing that can happen to you is for your own mother to disown you and not even see you as their child.

she outshined the main lead.. what an incredible actress park yeon jin!

She thought she still had hope but the moment she saw her mother also in jail she realized it’s all over

How perfect is this acting? She is giving her presentation while laughing and crying at the same time. It's it's absolutely insane.

There are hints that shows Yeon Jin's life is more hellish than it looks. The reason why Yeon-Jin screamed at her mother in prison was because she had a glimmer of hope of her mother-as much bitch she was-doing something for gher outside of prison. So when she found out that she too was in prison, she lost all hope. The woman ordering her around is speculated as a korean gangster due to her tattoos, so it is likely that she was beaten in to submission. And considering the term 'pretty face' is a roundabout way to call someone their bitch in prison? It is very likely that Yeon Jin was raped by her fellow jailmate too.

I can't believe it was her first time playing a villain character. that's seriously applauding.

Everyone says Yeonjin would have been a great mother to Ye-sol, but I disagree with that, because being a great parent also means teaching their kid what is right and wrong, which I highly doubt Yeon-jin would teach. IF Ye-sol grew up to be a bully, I think Yeon-jin would hide it(Paying the victims to keep quite, changing her school violence record if she gets reported, etc) and let Ye-sol continue, never letting her face the consequences of her action, meanwhile Do-yeong would teach Ye-sol to never do that shit again. The only difference between Yeon-jin parenting and her mother's parenting is that, the mother did it to save her own name and reputation meanwhile Yeonjin would do it because she 'loves' Ye-sol, both style of parenting are problematic at the end of the day

Park Yeonjin gave me the chills throughout the show.

What a fitting end.

just wanna point out that what the boss lady said at the end of yeonjin's weather forecast was portrayed different in Korean vs English subtitles in English subtitle 'Are you crying about the weather?' but in Korean it was actually 'why is the weather sad' which actually sounded hilarious lol idk why they changed it in subtitles

Incredible acting. Hope she wins awards

She deserve top acting awards for this series. She’s so good…

Everyone loves the weather forecast scene but I love the part where Yeon-Jin sees her mother and starts screaming fir her. Because Moon told her she would never receive love ever again and then here’s the person that should’ve been giving her some all her life. The way her morose face sprang to life then became desperate then devastated because as arrogant as she is, she still wants love. To know she is in the same jail as her mum must be like having love and affection dangled just out of her reach as her mother disregards her completely.

Really...her acting was amazing..

The actress is so good at capturing the look of someone who is broken.

One thing I didn't like about the few Kdramas I've watched, was that the antagonist always seemed to have a redemptive arc that's why this show was so so satisfying... no redemption! though I felt sorry for her when she was doing the forecast. That's how good of an actor she is

killing someone for the sake of revenge isnt satisfying but watching them suffering from consequences of their actions.

Her acting was so so so good😭

She loses everything through death by a thousand cuts and then it sinks in when she tells the weather and the cherry on top is the hint that she’s a target for bullies

Even after everything she did I feel bad for her poor Girl

I actually felt so bad for her in this scene...but she finally met her hell, filled with only loneliness and humiliation. 💔

This is one of the most satisfying scenes I have ever seen

she did an insanely great job toward the end. i love her performance

The best antagonist in kdrama

It’s interesting the on thing Yeon-Jin and Dong-Eun has in common is that both their mothers were willing to sell them out and they both made the others mother an offer they accepted. Yeon-Jin never had her mothers love but at least she kept her from getting into trouble to protect her own image. It could be she is desperate to have her mothers love. But no one was as important to Yeon-Jin as her daughter. Her being proud of and wanting to be like her made her happy. Perhaps she tried to be a better mom in ways her mom failed. When her daughter didn’t like or want to be like her it broke her. Sadly she got what she deserved in every way.

This drama is literally perfect! An easy 10/10. Great acting, actors, casting, music, plot, pacing, etc. Loved it

Whenever I feel that Yeonjin’s punishment is too light I will come back and read the comments here ❤

Inmate at the end "Are you crying about the weather?!" 🤣🤣

The expression on Yeon-jin's face tells me she's being coerced into giving the weather forecast under threat of getting her cheeks clapped.

The greatest masterpiece ever watched on netflix about revenge. Gudos to all the cast.❤❤❤❤.

It was so satisfying to see her suffer. Because I know she will not regret every horrible things she did.

Man, this actress is amazing. She made me hate her soo freaking much i couldn't expres myslef. She gave all the right feelings for a villan. This actress will become a legend în time, i can tell

I felt goosebumps watching this scene. Lim Jiyeon is terrific and at the same level of acting as Kim Jaewook whom I consider exceptional. Some people can convey emotions through tiny expressions that you see for a split second and this entire scene, where you can see her breaking down slowly and realizing she will never get out of this and that she has lost everything while she's still obviously an awful person who would bully again if she could, she conveys this PERFECTLY, every second of it is worthy of an award which she got. Bravo Lim Jiyeon! The whole 16 episodes were incredible and she stole the show. Dongeun, Sara, Jaejun, Hyeonam, there were many characters other than her that were very memorable but Lim Jiyeon made Yeonjin a masterpiece and it's difficult to make people to want to rewatch such an awful situation on TV just because of your acting skills but I love watching her as Yeonjin, just like I love watching her in Money Heist or Lies Hidden in My Garden but here she simply gave a performance that was impeccable. The whole cast was incredible. Bravo!

happy to see her in prison, very happy....but this scene was very sad....

glorious ending. She now knows how and what it feels to being bullied.

Wow......her acting.....🔥

watching her get imprisoned must’ve been the most satisfying scene in this entire series

1% of me feels bad for her here.

In this life you get what you give...

Seems like Hye Jeong was the only bully that didn’t get a horrible ending (that’s assuming she eventually gets her voice back) which we will never know.

I ALMOST started feeling sorry for her the last 3 episodes...just hit after hit with no breaks 😭 the guy's body found, fired at work, shaman's death in front of her, video of her bullying, slapped by Kang Hyeon-Nam, left by her husband, mother in law beating, beat by her friend, betrayed by her mother... I think her daughter rejecting her was the worst blow.

I honestly feel kind of bad for Yeon-jin here. You can tell she’s a psychological wreck and has obviously suffered mentally and possibly physically in the prison. Sure justice has been served but she’s destroyed fully.

Good choice for actress. She has really sharp facial features which emphasizes aggressive expressions. Everyone overall was well casted. But there is a level of iciness to The yeonjin character thats way too unsettling for most actresses to take on. She’s terrifying even when she’s lost everything

Best scene ever. Could watch this all day on repeat 🤣🤣

Despite everything she could have done, this scene hurts me a lot... Sometimes it's better to put aside your pride and apologize!

I have a crazy theory that Yeonjin probably think she can still get out of the prison because of her mom... But seeing her mom in prison too just killed all remaining hope she had and reacted that way... I know Dong-eun showed her that her mom is capable or leaving her behind too but Yeonjin probably hold out hope that for her mother's reputation's sake, if not love, her mother wouldn't want to be branded as a mother of a murderer and will do anything to get Yeonjin out of prison...

When the bully becomes the bullied

This will always be the series which I could relate the most and the way she achieved the glory was the right way,true justice and the original.punishment which was their destruction,since they had a lifetime to correct their sins but they didn't so what she did was absolutely correct😍😍

This is so satisfying to watch...

Both Yeonjin and Dongeun had mothers who never cared about them in the first place, the only difference is that one’s rich and the other’s poor
