9 details you may have missed in part 2 of 'The Glory,' Netflix's Korean revenge drama
Older and younger Park Yeon-jin say the same thing to Dong-eun in 'The Glory."Netflix
  • "The Glory" part two continued Dong-eun's revenge saga against Yeon-jin and her childhood bullies.
  • Part two had clever callbacks, sweet blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments, and other details.

Continuing from the part one finale of 'The Glory," Ha Do-yeong meets Park Yeon-jin in Dong-eun's apartment. While Yeon-jin doesn't remove her shoes — as Dong-eun had once predicted — Do-yeong respectfully leaves his at the door, which Dong-eun spots through her camera.

That gesture is what eventually prompts Dong-eun to give Yeon-jin a chance to confess to the police herself. Yeon-jin, of course, doesn't take it.

When Hyeon-nam and Sun-a briefly flee Semyeong in episode 10, Sun-a is thrilled to see her mother acting like a "badass." She immediately grabs the aux to play her favorite idol group's song — "Thrill Ride," by Korean boy band The Boyz — and starts rapping along.

Only part of Myeong-o's neck tattoo is visible when Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong examine him.

When Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong examine Myeong-o's body, only one part of his neck tattoo is visible.

While the full text of the tattoo reads "memento mori" (Latin for "remember you must die"), only the text "mori" — simply, "death" — is visible on his neck. Myeong-o no longer has to remember his death, because he's already suffered his demise.

Yeo-jeong opens Dong-eun's drink for her after they visit the abandoned funeral home.

After finding Myeong-o's body at the abandoned funeral home, Dong-eun and Yeo-jeong purchase drinks at a store. While continuing their conversation, Yeo-jeong opens the drink in his hands before switching it into Dong-eun's, taking the unopened bottle from hers. It's a sweet gesture that demonstrates his affection for her, even as they talk murder.

When Dong-eun sets Sa-ra up at her family's church, the choir is singing "Up and Fight Against the Devil."

The hymn's lyrics include "glory, glory Hallelujah," referencing the title of the show. Dong-eun listens to the choir, even as people begin to flood out of the sanctuary to gawk at Sa-ra.

Hyeon-nam finds her daughter's copy of "Demian," which she's altered to reflect her mother's mistaken title.

In episode five, Hyeon-nam quotes Herman Hesse's "Demian" to Dong-eun in the car, mistakenly referring to the title as "Raemian."

In episode 15, after the death of Hyeon-nam's husband, she goes through some of her daughter Sun-a's belongings and comes across her copy of "Demian." She discovers that Sun-a altered the copy to reflect her mother's mistaken title, altering the title in both the Roman and Korean alphabet.

In episode 16, Do-yeong stands alone eating samgak-gimbap (삼각김밥), a rice ball frequently sold in convenience stores, after he serves Yeon-jin their divorce papers in person.

It mirrors a sequence from episode five in which Do-yeong stops at a convenience store to have a conversation with Dong-eun. She offers him spam and tuna mayo samgak-gimbap, but later takes it when he leaves, assuming that he won't eat it.

Yeon-jin greets Dong-eun in prison the same way she did as a teenager.

When Dong-eun visits Yeon-jin in prison in episode 16, Yeon-jin greets her by asking, "What took you so long? I missed you so much."

It's the same way that she greeted Dong-eun when Yeon-jin and her friends ambushed her at her own apartment in 2004, as shown in episode one.

Dong-eun gets a devils' trumpet tattoo after the flower that her former landlord gave her.

After successfully executing her revenge plan, Dong-eun is seen leaving class in episode 16 with a new tattoo on her forearm.

It appears to be a Devil's Trumpet — the same flower that her landlord gave her in episode one after she moved into her apartment.
