Editor’s Note: This article contains spoilers for The Glory.
Based on the ending of Part 1, we can expect Dong-eun to continue her grand scheme, seeking revenge on Yeon-jin and her crew. So far, she’s blackmailed Sa-ra and Hye-jeong, while Myeong-oh has gone missing. She also knows that Ye-sol, is biologically Jae-joon’s daughter due to her color-blindness. With this information, Jae-joon’s goal is now to break up Yeon-jin and Do-young’s marriage and to gain custody of his biological daughter.
With her growing relationship with Yeo-jeong, Dong-eun now has two trusty partners to carry out her plans. She also catches the attention of Do-young with her Baduk skills, while he learns that his wife was a bully in the past.
Dong-eun’s plan also includes the mysterious death of Yoon So-hee, a classmate who died after being bullied by the same crew. According to Dong-eun’s conversation with Myeong-oh, Yeon-jin was the one who killed her (although this might have been one of Dong-eun’s many ways to manipulate her former classmate). It’s unknown whether this is true, although it’s likely tied to Myeong-oh’s disappearance. We’re expecting Part 2 to explore all of these components leading up to Dong-eun’s revenge.
