Viewers found special symbols in “The Glory” poster that may serve as hints for Part 2

A prediction about “The Glory” Part 2 based on the details of the teaser poster of Part 1 is drawing attention from fans.

Netflix’s original series “The Glory” depicts the story of a revenge plan carefully designed by a woman whose soul has been broken due to the experience of school violence in high school and those who fall into the revenge whirlwinds. It has drawn keen attention since the pre-production stage as Song Hye Kyo’s comeback work written by famous screenwriter Kim Eun Sook and directed by Ahn Gil Ho.

Pointing out the first teaser poster, which was released before the official broadcast, after watching Part 1, some fans of the drama are analyzing the symbols in the poster.

First of all, the large moon and sun are seen on both sides of the poster in a mysterious atmosphere, drawing attention. What catches the eyes of viewers is that only the moon is shining on Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo). The moon and the son give the symbolic feeling of the white night and the polar night mentioned in the story.

Moon Dong Eun is seen sitting under a large tree with not only flowers but also several objects hung onto it. In particular, the objects, which are tied to the branches, leave a strong impression as they remind viewers of the characters in the drama.

The first thing that stands out the most is the green shoes. According to “The Glory” Part 1, Son Myung Oh (Kim Gun Woo) was murdered and the culprit was revealed in a flashback scene as a person wearing green shoes.

The green shoes featured in Part 1 are also used as a device to expose the fact that Park Yeon Jin (Lim Ji Yeon)’s daughter Ye Sol is colorblind. Writer Kim Eun Sook said, “Red is too common and Yeon Jin’s personal color is green. Those shoes are not easy to wear, but Yeon Jin said they would suit her”.

In fact, there are three characters who appeared in the drama wearing green shoes. They are Park Yeon Jin, Choi Hye Jung, who bought these shoes because she envied Park Yeon Jin, and Moon Dong Eun, who tried these shoes on at Siesta. As the poster also contains three pairs of green shoes, attention is focused on the real identity of the person who killed Son Myung Oh among the three.

What stands out next is the bright red straightening hair straightener located in the center. In Season 1, Park Yeon Jin burned Moon Dong Eun’s body with a hair straightener and left an unforgettable wound. Moon Dong Eun, who has become an adult, becomes the homeroom teacher of Ye Sol, Park Yeon Jin’s daughter, and said, “It’s very soft and clean. Yeon Jin, I’m going to use your favorite curling iron.”

In addition, the golden watch, which was an important prop in the beginning of Part 1, also draws attention. It is an object that belongs to a teacher that stood by and watched Moon Dong Eun’s school violence, who later became a target of her revenge. In particular, the teacher took off his watch before hitting Moon Dong Eun, and his son later wore it. It can also be confirmed that the blue shopping bag in the right corner belongs to Siesta, a select shop run by Jeon Jae Joon (Park Sung Hoon).

A sharp surgical scalpel can be seen hanging from the branch directly above Moon Dong Eun. It is speculated that the object represents Dong Eun’s helper Joo Yeo Jeong (Lee Do Hyun), who inherited the scalpel from his deceased father. Since Joo Yeo Jeong has a knife drawer in his house, expectations are high about whether this character will utilize his scalpel and knife to become Dong Eun’s “executioner” in Season 2.

Furthermore, the Go board placed next to Moon Dong Eun is also an important symbol in “The Glory”. Moon Dong Eun learned Go to approach Park Yeon Jin’s husband, Ha Do Young (Jeong Sung Il), but it also formed her relationship with Joo Yeo Jeong. In addition, since Ha Do Young once made a complicated expression while staring at a Go board, attention is paid to the “match” between him and Moon Dong Eun in Part 2.

In addition, a blue pencil and a pair of blue sneakers of a similar color are hanging from the left end of a branch. Unlike other objects, the owners of these two objects were not clearly revealed through the contents of Season 1 alone.

Among them, speculation continues that the pencil refers to the daughter of Hyeon Nam (Yeom Hye Ran), who is being tutored by Moon Dong Eun, while the sneakers belong to Yoon So Hee, a classmate who died. Attention is being focused on whether this prediction will come true in Part 2, or whether another secret will be revealed.
