First, the sight of Moon Dong-eun (played by Song Hye-kyo) looking somewhere with tears in her eyes catches the eye. Next, the sight of him standing in front of the Youngsan funeral home raises questions about whose funeral it is. Here, Joo Yeo-jeong (played by Lee Do-hyeon), who has a cold expression with no smile, appears even darker. Since Joo Yeo-jeong took it upon himself to be a sword-dancing idiot to help Moon Dong-eun get revenge, attention is focused on the conversation he will have with Ha Do-yeong (played by Jeong Seong-il) while playing another game of baduk.

The appearance of the shaman's house, which gave off a sense of secrecy at the time of Part 1, is also impressive. The shaman's house, which seemed to be related to Park Yeon-jin's (Lim Ji-yeon) family at the time, aroused curiosity as it seemed to connect young women and middle-aged men. Park Yeon-jin, who is talking on the phone with a serious expression, and Ha Do-young, who entered the shaman's house, are drawing attention to what they found out.

Writer Kim Eun-sook expressed confidence, saying, “If you’ve seen Part 1, you won’t miss Part 2. The taste of cider and mara is concentrated in Part 2.” Director Ahn Gil-ho also said, “The fight between Dong-eun and Yeon-jin begins in earnest and the story of the perpetrators being punished will unfold dynamically and in a way that you cannot take your eyes off of. “All the rice cakes will be recovered,” he said, adding to expectations.

Although it has been about 20 days since 'The Glory' was released, interest and firepower toward the work are still hot. It ranked first for two consecutive weeks in the content rankings announced by Kinorights, an OTT integrated search and content recommendation platform. The cumulative viewing time around the world easily exceeded 100 million hours, and it ranked first in the non-English category of Netflix's Global Top 10 TV Shows just two weeks after its release.

Interest in ‘The Glory’ is expected to continue until March. The key is whether Part 2 can meet viewers' expectations. Attention is being paid to whether 'The Glory' will be able to retrieve all the pieces, complete revenge, and deliver a cider ending.
