Gloria (Hangul: 글로리아; RR: Geulroria) is a South Korean television series starring Bae Doona, Lee Chun-hee, Seo Ji-seok, So Yi-hyun, Oh Hyun-kyung and Lee Jong-won in a tale of romance, survival, overcoming poverty and adversity, and making your dreams come true.[1][2][3][4] It aired on MBC from July 31, 2010 to January 30, 2011 on Saturdays and Sundays at 20:40 for 50 episodes.[5][6]

Plot

After their parents were killed in a car accident, Na Jin-jin (Bae Doona) has lived with her mentally handicapped older sister Na Jin-joo (Oh Hyun-kyung), whom she has supported from a young age. Jin-jin barely ekes out a living juggling a series of dead-end part-time jobs, including delivering newspapers and running a nightclub coat check. One day, the nightclub's regular singer doesn't show up and when Jin-jin is asked to fill in, she performs an impromptu version of Laura Branigan's "Gloria." Jin-jin becomes consumed with the idea of becoming a nightclub singer and sees it as her only hope to escape her humdrum life, saying that she only feels alive when she's onstage.[7]

Jin-jin grew up with Ha Dong-ah (Lee Chun-hee), who has remained her loyal friend through everything, as he himself raises his young nephew. But Dong-ah, a gifted fighter, turns to a life in the mob.

Lee Kang-suk (Seo Ji-seok), the illegitimate son of a wealthy family and president of a record label, begins pursuing Jin-jin, while suicidal ex-ballet dancer Jung Yoon-seo (So Yi-hyun) catches Dong-ah's eye.
