Dong-eun, a medical student, develops feelings for Joo Yeo-jeong and instructs her in Go. Do-yeong watches Dong-eun play Go and impresses him with her talent. Hyeon-nam's information is used by Dong-eun to threaten the head of the Semyeong school district with a transfer to work as a teacher at Ye-sol's elementary school. When Yeon-jin finds out Dong-eun is her daughter's new homeroom teacher, she becomes terrified.

Soo-han murdered his father to protect his professional future. Yeon-jin, a friend of her mother, employs Young-joon to find out information about Dong-eun. Yeo-jeong establishes his own clinic in Semyeong after deciding to emulate Dong-eun. Sang-im, the director of her own hospital, realises the murderer has been mocking her son. Dong-eun intends to send

Hyeon-nam's daughter to study in the US using the money from Sa-ra. Hye-jeong is coerced by Dong-eun into telling the police about Myeong-oh's disappearance and informs Do-yeong that Yeon-jin had previously been a cruel bully to Dong-eun and others.

Yeo Jung discovered that So Hee's body had vanished when he went to the hospital to hunt for it. Hee was the alleged first victim of Yeon Jin, and the discovery of her body is essential for the vengeance plan to succeed.

All the evidence up to this point indicates that Ye Sol is not Ha Do Young's biological daughter. Instead, she is one to Yeon Jin's pre- and post-marital affairs with Jeon Jae Joon.

Themes Involved

Violence in schools and bullying: Dramas show how bullying by children may lead to psychological suffering even if it frequently goes unreported. By including actual occurrences in the narrative, The Glory is committed to showing how awful school violence is without holding anything back.

Mysteries Unsolved

  • Does Joo Yeo Jung and Moon Dong Eun have a romantic relationship?
  • How is Moon Dong Eun treated by her mother?
  • Where is the body of So Hee currently?
  • The final result for Ye Sol

Personal Verdict

The true victim who served as the inspiration for the drama series said the heartbreaking words, "It is hard to trust anyone." A child enters school with high hopes of making wonderful memories, but what actually happens is that his or her peers bully him, causing a great deal of disruption and destruction in the victim's mind. This type of violence has a profound effect on both the victim and other students as well.

Children bully on the basis of status or as a result of status because of their parents, who are also the major reason why their kids have the audacity to toy with others physically and emotionally.

The drama in its part 1 has various mysteries unsolved and it will be so exciting to watch the next part of the same.

Rating- My rating for the part 1 is 4.5/5
