Season 1 of The Glory introduced us to Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo), a victim of school bullying set on wreaking revenge on the bullies and the bystanders who made her high school life miserable. Number one on her list is weathercaster Park Yeon Jin (Lim Ji Yeon) followed by her crew of bullies: stewardess Choi Hye Jeong (Cha Joo Young), artist Lee Sa Ra (Kim Hieora), chaebol heir Jeon Jae Joon (Park Sung Hoon) and his friend-turned-all-around driver Son Myeong Oh (Kim Gun Woo).
Just like a calculated game of Go, the first season lay the foundations by introducing us to key characters and a glimpse of their backstory to set the stage for key moves that will take place in Season 2. In as much as it kept us on the edge of our seats, it also left us with many questions that we can't wait to be answered.
Read on and let us know what your Season 2 predictions are. *Warning: spoilers ahead!*
1. How far will Dong Eun go in using Ye Sol to make Yeon Jin suffer?
Dong Eun meets Ha Ye Sol (Yeon Jin's daughter) in the first episode of Season 1. After doing everything in her power to become her homeroom teacher, she introduces herself as a friend of her mom and teaches Ye Sol the meaning of hatred. Haunted by a traumatic memory, Dong Eun paints a picture of Yeon Jin as hatred personified.
2. What role will Dong Eun's mother, Jeong Mi Hee, play in Season 2?
Just when we thought we'd seen the last of Jeong Mi Hee, when she left her daughter to fend for herself after receiving 1M KRW settlement money from Yeon Jin's mother, Episode 8 teases us of her possible comeback in Season 2 as a weakness that Yeon Jin will exploit to get back at Dong Eun.
3. What dark secret lies in Yeo Jeong's mysterious past?
Plastic surgeon Joo Yeo Jeong (Lee Do Hyun) makes his first appearance in episode 2 when he is confined to a hospital bed beside a malnourished Dong Eun. In that scene, a nurse mentions a psycho on TV and the release of court hearing news which hint at ties to Yeo Jeong's past. Scenes showing letters from a prisoner named Kang Yeong Cheon and a scene in episode 8 where flashbacks from his father's murder haunt Yeo Jeong hint at a very dark past that might be a total game-changer in Season 2.
4. Who killed Myeong Oh?
Episodes that lead to the Season 1 finale persuade viewers to think that Myeong Oh was killed by someone wearing those designer green shoes first introduced as Ha Do Yeong's gift to Yeon Jin. As the story progresses, we see the shoes of Dong Eun and Choi Hye Jeong as well. Though Yeon Jin is the likely suspect, we'll have to wait till the Season 2 reveal to know for sure.
5. Will Jae Joon pursue paternity rights to Ye Sol?
Armed with paternity test results that prove Ye Sol is his daughter, will Jae Joon pursue his role as her father? Will Ha Do Yeong step aside and allow him to do so?
6. How will Ha Do Yeong deal with his wife's past life as a bully?
The episode 1 finale shows the confrontation between Ha Do Yeong (Jung Sung Il) and Yeon Jin in Dong Eun's apartment filled to the brim with photos documenting Yeon Jin's evil past. Will he stand by his wife now that he knows the ugly truth?
7. Does Kim Gyeong Ran have a revenge agenda just like Dong Eun?
The store attendant at Siesta, Jae Joon's boutique, caught the netizen's attention because of her name tag and her resemblance to the girl that Yeon Jin's gang bullied after Dong Eun dropped out of school. We see her high school self as episode 1 closes and young Dong Eun walks into the school gym to proclaim that her dream revolves around Yeon Jin. Could bearing witness to this scene inspired Gyeong Ran to follow suit?
