Here are the top 3 women who took it upon themselves to avenge their wounds.

"The Glory"'s Moon Dong-eun

Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) became a victim of brutal bullying in high-school. A girl who dreamt of being an architect had her dream because of bullying. Now her life has only one motive. To get revenge on Park Yeon-jin (Lim Ji-yeon). We see Dong-eun almost obsessed with Yeon-jin. She keeps a close eye on her and on every event in her life. But only because she wanted to take all that from her.

Dong-eun is the calm type. She waited for the perfect opportunity to lay out her plan. Her moves are calculative and precise. Yet, she also left a lot to fate. As if she knew how the four would act. Dong-eun wins our hearts as the lady of revenge with her perfect execution and the glow, the way she grows out from being a scared high school girl to a lioness.
