4. Stranger (2017)

The main character of the series, Hwang Shi Mok, is a prosecutor who underwent an operation that made his violent temper disappear. And while it made his life easier and turned him into a perfect worker in the legal industry, it also made him a person without empathy or any social skills.

However, his life changes when he meets the passionate Lieutenant Han Yeo Jin. They team up and start investigating the mysterious murders that happened at that time.

5. The King Of Pigs (2022)

Our last one may be just perfect to fill that The Glory-shaped hole in your heart. The story of The King of Pigs explores the lives of two high school friends who meet 20 years after graduation and recall the time they were bullied in high school.

“It has a similar storyline to [The Glory]. [...] The plot twist at the end will just blow your mind. It's sad to know how this drama is sooo underrated,” Redditor Mother_Ad_8348 said.

After all, the best way to cope with your favorite show ending is finding a new TV crush, isn’t it?
