What Is The Main Character's Revenge Plan?

In The Glory Part 2, Dong-Eun plans to exact revenge on the bullies who destroyed her high school career. She begins carrying out her intricate plan, which would eventually result in the bullies' downfall through decades of postponed repercussions.

Her closest assistant and executioner, Joo Yeo-Jeong, has an underlying drive derived from his sad past.

But she learns there won't be a happy ending for her.

Theme Of Glory Part 2

The vengeance theme of "The Glory Part 2" is particularly tied to class conflict and school violence. The protagonist of the narrative is a lady named Moon Dong-eun who wants retribution against the bullies she endured in high school. The program investigates whether retaliation can ever genuinely be fulfilling or if it always results in failure.

 

How Does The Glory Part 2 Differ From Part 1?

Part 2 quickens the action and concentrates on Dong-eun's bloody and satisfying retaliation. Viewers should anticipate Dong-eun to carry out her elaborate plan and get revenge on Yeon-jin and her team based on how Part 1 ended. Therefore, the story's development and the emphasis on Dong-eun's vengeance plan's resolution appear to be the key differences between Parts 1 and 2.

Question Unfolded

Does Joo Yeo Jung and Moon Dong Eun have a romantic relationship?

Playing the well-known board game Go in the Park helps the two preserve their connection throughout the series. Dong-Eun is unaware of Yeo-jeong's adoration for her because she is too absorbed in her plot for retribution.

How does her mother treat Moon Dong Eun?

The mother of Moon Dong Eun, Jung Mi-Hee, is portrayed in the Korean drama series "The Glory" as harsh and uncaring. She continuously prioritizes her desires over those of her daughter, is an alcoholic who accepts bribes from parents of children, and is involved in the cover-up of school violence. Dong Eun experiences frequent harsh assault and torture at the hands of her tormentors, and her mother neglects her. But ultimately, her mother seeks treatment for her alcoholism.

Where is the body of So Hee currently?

So Hee's corpse was kept alive in a freezer. There are contradictory claims as to whether she committed suicide or was murdered after being discovered dead and pregnant.

The show's ending leaves the audience wondering if there will be more to come from Moon Dong-Eun and Joo Yeo-jeong. I personally like the plot and the way it depicts the true story to the viewers.

 

My rating for the series- is 4.5/5

You can watch it on Netflix.
