| Description: |
This is the 2022 & 2023 Korean revenge/thriller drama series. Its native title is "더 글로리" which is just the Hangul transliteration of the English title. It was released in two groups of 8 episodes each, but are otherwise seamless and I have included both as a single drama series.

"A high-school student dreams of becoming an architect. However, she had to drop out of school after suffering from brutal bullying. Years later, the perpetrator gets married and has a child. Once the child is in elementary school, the former victim becomes her homeroom teacher and starts her thorough revenge towards the perpetrators and bystanders of her bullying days."

These all have edited "soft" English captions; that is, English subtitles are part of the MKV files and the subtitles can be enabled or disabled as you wish.
I downloaded the source videos like "The.Glory.S01E01.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.H.264-APEX.mkv" for episodes 1 to 8, and "The.Glory.S01E09.NF.WEB-DL.1080p.x264.DDP-HDCTV.mkv" for 9 to 16." I found the best English subtitles elsewhere, then...
- Used a nonlinear video editor to make minor edits - see notes below.
- Used Subtitle Edit (by Nikolaj Lynge Olsson) to find and fix all flagged issues
- Added 0.7 second to each subtitle (where possible) to allow more time to read them and adjusted words/minute to at least 280
- "Softened" all subtitled profanity (bastard --> jerk, damn --> darn, bitch --> wench etc.)
- Corrected commonly-found typos, converted many word pairs into common English contractions, and brought together sentence fragments
- Naturalized the English phrasing to retain fluid grammar by reducing sentence-initial conjunctions
- Colored all media, signs, and flashback subtitles to salmon, yellow, and teal respectively
- Used Handbrake to create new MKV files using my subtitles, trimming the horrible Netflix splash screen from the starts and ends
"Profanity is the parlance of the fool. Why curse when there is such a magnificent language with which to discourse?"
