Netflix's revenge thriller series "The Glory" part 2 has landed at No. 3 on its global chart for TV series, just two days after its release.

According to data released by streaming analytics company FlixPatrol, the drama ranked third on its daily global chart for TV programs on Netflix.

It was the most popular TV show in 26 countries, including Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Bolivia, Mexico, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. It ranked second in 13 countries including France, Bangladesh, Brazil, Kuwait, Pakistan and Turkey.

Written by Kim Eun-sook of "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" (2016-2017), "Descendants of the Sun" (2016) and "Mr. Sunshine" (2018), "The Glory" tells the story of a woman named Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) who suffered severe bullying in high school and seeks revenge against her former bullies 20 years later.

An Gil-ho, whose other works include "Stranger" (2017) and "Memories of the Alhambra" (2018), took the helm for the 16-part series. The first half of the series was released on Dec. 30 last year.
