In this way, she uncovered the last will and testament of Yeon-jin’s father-in-law, Kim Shin-tae, who had bequeathed his sizeable estate to not just his son, Su-hyeon, but also his secret lover, Shin-tae, the chairman of Semyeong Elementary School where Dong-eun, through blackmail, is able to get a job as the teacher of Yeon-jin’s daughter, Ha Ye-sol.ĭong-eun also manipulates Myeong-oh, the group’s gopher in school and even in adulthood, into helping her. Dong-eun moves into an apartment next to her house and begins looking for important documents in her garbage. In the present day, Yeon-jin is a wife and mother, and a semi-famous weather reporter, though her career has been protected by her wealthy and influential husband. Dong-eun becomes a teacher and, over two decades amasses the right amount of evidence and a watertight plan to ruin everyone who made her childhood a misery. In the midst of this is, essentially, a love story between Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong, a medical intern who meets Dong-eun by chance – or destiny? – and teaches her how to play Go, which functions as a visual and thematic metaphor throughout. But while ruining her is the ultimate goal, Dong-eun targets the entire gang for their complicity, and even the educator who allowed the torment to occur. She took obvious pleasure in torturing her victims. The main subject of Dong-eun’s ire is Park Yeon-jin, a sadistic young woman who knew that, because of her influential family, her actions would never be officially punished. After trying to lodge complaints with the police and the faculty, Dong-eun realized that any kind of revenge would have to be of her own design, and after a period of wishing herself dead, resolved to bring that revenge about, dedicating her life to making her tormentors pay for what they did. It follows Moon Dong-eun, a woman in her mid-30s who, as a child, was relentlessly bullied by the privileged kids of parents from influential backgrounds who the authorities couldn’t – and in many cases wouldn’t – touch. Part 1 of the Netflix k-drama The Glory is a pretty straightforward story of revenge. This article contains spoilers for The Glory Season 1 Episode 8 and is an open discussion of the ending of The Glory Part 1.
