He even tried making some sexual advances at her, and a horrified Yeon Jin hit him on the head with a wine bottle. When she came over to his apartment, he told her what he had against her and demanded a billion won in return for his silence. He called each one of them, and finally, Yeon Jin asked to meet her. Myeong Oh was elated as he believed that he had Yeon Jin’s name tag, with which he could implicate her and the rest of the group for So Hee’s murder. It is almost as if Dong Eun, and by extension, the writer Kim Eun Sook, did not want the protagonist to get her hands dirty. Her getting bullied back or even the twist, in the end, are not strong enough to be what she deserved. She was a psychopath, and jail was too tame for her. But we believe that jail was too little a punishment for Yeon Jin, who had bullied people relentlessly throughout her life. Everything Dong Eun did was to make sure that nobody would help Yeon Jin when she finally went to jail. But what we need to remember is that when Dong Eun’s mother betrayed her, she lost her last hope of justice, whereas there were no consequences for Yeon Jin’s mother betraying her. Dong Eun wanted to prove a point that even Yeon Jin’s family could betray her. Let us take the example of Dong Eun giving the name tag to her mother. Finally, coming to Yeon Jin, Dong Eun was too kind to her. Coming to Sa Ra, she lost everything, but we can bet that her drugged-up mind will not allow her to think of Dong Eun when she looks back on things.Īdditionally, Dong Eun did not plan the scene at the funeral home, so this is just another case of karma taking its own course. It’s not revenge unless karma is controlled by the victim. As for Hye Jeong, what happened to her couldn’t have been planned by Dong Eun. 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. Where Myeong Oh and Jae Joon are concerned, they each died brutally, but that death came to them in minutes. That is why we felt that Dong Eun had dealt with Yeon Jin and the group with a very light hand.ĭong Eun did not just suffer in high school she spent her entire life constantly living a nightmare due to what happened to her. If this is not what happens, then it is not revenge anymore. It is about complete annihilation, about making the person regret ever having crossed paths with their victim and dread the consequences of their actions for the rest of their lives. But here is the thing about justice sought through revenge: it isn’t about balancing the scales. ![]() Therefore, Dong Eun’s strategy makes sense, with Jae Joon, Hye Jeong, Sa Ra, and Myeong Oh suffering deserved collateral damage. This was because Yeon Jin’s unabashed cruelty was due to her being protected by her circle of friends and family. Dong Eun’s modus operandi was to isolate Yeon Jin completely and then reveal her misdeeds to the world. ![]() Dong Eun’s assailants suffered greatly, but it still lacked the punch. 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.
