2) Lim Ji-yeon as Park Yeon-jin

Lim Ji-yeon’s ability to embody the wicked nature of Park Yeon-jin in The Glory proves her acting prowess. Bringing life to Yeon-jin's complex character is truly not an easy task. Yet, Lim Ji-yeon’s authentic depiction of the villainous attributes of Park Yeon-jin is truly worth appreciating. Park Yeon-jin enjoys the suffering she inflicts on others who are weaker than her.

The power she has because of her family helps her get away with even the most heinous crimes she commits throughout the series. Yeon-jin’s incessant torture of Dong-eun leaves her with not just marks on her body but also a mental trauma that she cannot erase. Some of Lim Ji-yeon's other projects are High Society, Lies Hidden in My Garden, etc.
