'The Glory' Part 1: Recap - Everything To Know Before Watching Part ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

"The Glory" Part 1 follows the story of Dong Eun as she plots her revenge against the people who bullied her in high school. Her bullies are Park Yeon Jin ...

It has been a long wait for Part 2 of “The Glory.” What Dong Eun has faced has set her on a path with the sole purpose of revenge. Dong Eun does the needful, as Hyeon Nam was a victim of domestic violence. He knows that she is related to Yeon Jin in some way. He is infuriated at Yeon Jin and wants to be the legal father of Ye Sol. Dong Eun just told him to help her, and she would help him earn the kind of money he wanted. Either way, he comes to know through Dong Eun that Ye Sol is his daughter. She was engaged to a very rich man and was happy that she could finally have things that were better than those of her friends. Later, she asks him to teach her how to play the game “Go.” Yeo Jeong has an idea that Dong Eun’s boundaries will not allow him to get close to her, but he likes her and takes the time that he gets with her. Dong Eun eventually leaves, but it is evident that she is a shell of a person. That is enough to push her over the edge. When Yeon Jin learns about it, she is furious and scared, but she knows that she cannot do anything since Dong Eun will just take a job at whatever school she transfers Ye Sol to. Due to the horrific physical abuse at the hands of the group, Dong Eun decides to quit school, but even that is not easy for her.

The Glory season 3 potential release date, cast, plot and everything ... (digitalspy.com)

Moon Dong-eun lives for revenge and so does everyone else who got sucked into Netflix's gloriously addictive K-drama. It's a righteous revenge, after all, ...

For example, there's still plenty we don't know about Moon Dong-eun's life at school before the attack, although it might be a tad masochistic to return to this period again by this point. If you thought season one was a tad slow in the buildup, the same cannot be said for those last eight episodes. I wanted to return to filming the next day and I couldn't wait until I was Moon Dong-eun again." "I was really happy in bed at the end of the day after I finished filming a really difficult scene. But with no confirmation of a third part/season just yet, fans might have to wait a while before The Glory returns to Netflix. Without spoiling what's happened so far, it's entirely possible that any of the main cast members could return for a third season via flashbacks, even if their character has died already.

How Netflix's <i>The Glory</i> Drew Inspiration From Real Stories of ... (TIME)

The popular series is the latest in a long line of Korean dramas inspired by real-life incidents of school violence in Korea.

In a particularly disturbing scene, Dong-eun’s homeroom teacher hits her repeatedly in the middle of the staff lounge for reporting the bullying. In Episode 6 of the series, the usually stoic Dong-eun has a panic attack on the floor of a mechanic shop.

But we don’t stay with them for very long before we get back to Dong-eun, and the fact that she’s personally taken on Soo-he’s death as a way to get to her torturers makes the story all the more dynamic. There’s a flashback where Dong-eun set a trap for Yeon-jin by sending her name tag to the police, but that was quickly covered up at the behest of Yeon-jin’s influential mother. We’re not sure what Kim is trying to accomplish with the relationship between Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong, however. The Gist: Yeon-jin now knows that Dong-eun, a teacher at her daughter’s school, is after her because she managed to break into Dong-eun’s apartment, whose walls are full of pictures of her. They also wonder what happened with Myeong-oh, who has seemed to distance himself from the rest of the group. Her main target, though, is weather presenter Park Yeon-jin (Lim Ji-yeon), who was the ringleader of the group.

The show explores how being bullied as a teen and the absolute failure of adults in her life to protect her have shaped her mental health and life choices. The show is more interested in exploring how being bullied as a teen has shaped Dong-eun’s mental health and life choices. In Korea, wealth inequality is high, while school violence storylines are usually confined to a single town or institution, acting as a narrative microcosm of broader social inequalities that teens can relate to, both in Korea and in the US. The series is interested in answering the question of how being a bully or being bullied affects someone in the long run. In The Glory, Dong-eun has devoted her adult life to crafting a plan to take down her former abusers. The show is part of a long line of Korean dramas that use school bullying as a plot point.

'The Glory' Part 2: Details of So-hee's Murder Are More Tragic Than ... (Showbiz Cheat Sheet)

'The Glory' Part 2 tells the full story of what happened to So-hee before her death, and how Dong-eun sets the trap to take down the killer.

The detective found the lighter, and it came back positive for matching DNA in Myeong-o’s murder. As blackmail, she gives up her daughter and gives Dong-eun the name tag she kept. But the name tag was only bait as it cannot be used as evidence. In return, So-hee bullied her by using her lighter to burn the lint off her scarf, but it caught fire. Myeong-o is the only one not connected to her death, but was he the father of the unborn child? It is also revealed that Dong-eun knew So-hee’s body was not rotting away in the morgue. When Myeong-o called Jae-jun (Park Sung-hoon), he asked why he lied and said he was with Yeon-jin the night of the murder. The burn cream was for wounds Yeon-jin inflicted on her with a hot curling iron. When Yeon-jin set her sights on her, she faced the same torture as So-hee did. An older Dong-eun was leaving the hospital morgue where So-hee’s body supposedly was. But The Glory only tells small details of what happened to So-hee. The K-drama’s storyline is advertised as focusing solely on Dong-eun wanting revenge against Yeon-jin and her friends for what they did to her.

The Glory Part 2 is now out. Song Hye-kyo and Lee Do-hyun's show is everything you expect from a revenge drama. Read our review.

The Glory is not trying to preach that this is how every victim of bullying needs to act, but it highlights the loopholes in law, and the psychological, long-lasting impact it can have on a person. One of the biggest takeaways from the show is also the spotlight on people who worked on the back foot. The Glory is not a revenge drama without a cause. In Part 2 too, there is no attempt to skirt around the issue of bullying. Part 2 of The Glory continues to chronicle Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo)’s journey as she is on her path to avenge her bullies. The Glory Part 2 is now out.

Jae-jun is just as evil as Yeon-jin, and Dong-eun's revenge plan for him in 'The Glory Part 2 finale is not hers alone.

Part of the theory did come true during The Glory Part 2 finale with Jae-jun. Before the premiere of the second half of the revenge K-drama, the cast gathered to discuss fan theories. [The Glory had Dong-eun reveal her scars](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/the-glory-k-drama-writer-teared-up-during-song-hye-kyos-scarred-body-scene-she-wanted-to-look-emaciated-and-small.html/) and the truth about Yeon-jin to Do-yeong. He soon has his confidant plan to move him and Ye-sol to the UK. Fans do not know what happens to Jae-jun in He calls Dong-eun, threatening her to tell him her location. In the hospital, Jae-jun has no remorse for Hye-jeong or how she was in love with him. He beats the teacher at school. He soon realized all the clues of their affair. While Dong-eun sets the stage to take down Yeon-jin, she is not the one to end Jae-jun’s story. Part of Dong-eun’s plans against them both was revealing the truth about Yeon-jin’s daughter, Ye-sol.

'The Glory' Ending, Explained: Did Moon Dong Eun Take Her ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

Therefore, Dong Eun's strategy makes sense, with Jae Joon, Hye Jeong, Sa Ra, and Myeong Oh suffering deserved collateral damage. But here is the thing about ...

She asks Dong Eun to stay alive for her son’s sake, and Dong Eun is unable to refuse as she has grown to have feelings for him. Even the original revenge saga, “The Count of Monte Cristo,” had the titular character forgo his revenge for his lady love Mercedes, and that added to his character and the plot. Dong Eun had never known happiness in her life, and now that the purpose for which she had stayed alive was fulfilled, she wanted to move on. Yeo Jeong had told the killer that he would take his revenge soon enough, and he started that with Dong Eun by his side. All of our criticism for “The Glory” boils down to the protagonist’s unwillingness to get her hands dirty, which took away from the intensity and complexity of the revenge. But the final nail in the coffin is when Jae Joon gives him the recording of Myeong Oh and Yeon Jin that implicates her in his murder while revealing that she killed So Hee. Dong Eun laughs and implies that there is a secret that she doesn’t know. Now that her revenge is complete, Dong Eun does what we suspected she had wanted to do for a long time. Dong Eun’s revenge against Yeon Jin is a careful knockdown of her marriage, along with causing some infighting in the group. Dong Eun leaves her that day, saying that the meeting had erased any residual guilt she had about her actions. Part 1 had us hurting for Dong Eun, and Part 2 of “The Glory” was supposed to be part of the story that put us at ease once again. It cannot compare to Dong Eun’s lifetime of suffering, especially when they were not even thinking of what they had done to her when they died.
