K-Drama School: The Glory (Part 2) and Walking Towards Healing

[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses part 2 of the show The Glory (2022, Netflix) written by hit-maker Kim Eun-sook in her second collaboration with Song Hye-kyo. Grace starts out by admitting how she cried while watching Ke Huy Quan’s and Michelle Yeoh’s Oscar acceptance speeches telling artists not to give up on their dreams. Grace questions the concept of a public apology, and questions the adults involved in the latest media scandal around director Ahn Gil-ho. Grace critiques The Glory’s backwards representation of addicts and the mentally ill. Grace further critiques the show’s imbalanced portrayal of perpetrators and digs through side characters’ storylines to find logic to the perpetrators’ backstories which might explain why they are so abusive.
