The Glory 1x12 Reaction/Full Watchalong!

Comments

im korean, the shoe thing does apply to classrooms. it’s a requirement that all school staff and students take their shoes off when entering the building and change into indoor shoes/slippers (this applies for elementary through high school). it’s the same case in japan, it’s why you’ll often see characters interacting at shoe lockers in kdramas and anime, located near the entrance of the school building. im sure many other asian countries also have a similar protocol. it’s why yesol mentions around ep 3 or 4 that she had to walk barefoot in the classroom bc she spilled milk on her slippers

The shoe thing regards someone's home or residence, it doesn't apply to classrooms. It's also just a general cultural thing for most Asian households but I have seen it in other cultures too. You are spot on about respect the respect aspect of it though, as we saw in a previous episode that Yeonjin broke into Dong Eun's apartment and kept her shoes on (just like when her & the other bullies came to the hotel and even made fun of Dong Eun for taking off her own shoes) while her husband Doyeong, in the midst of everything, still took off his shoes before entering Dong-eun's home. This led Dong-eun to give YJ a chance to turn herself him since DY showed her respect.

also in korea you usually are supposed to take your outside shoes off when entering a classroom and use the indoor slippers the building provides. when the moms come to confront dongeun there's a shot focusing on their feet as they walk into her classroom-- none of them bother taking off their shoes. just another detail/callback on respect/lack thereof like the bullies not taking off their shoes when they ambushed dongeun in her apartment in ep 1, yeonjin not taking of her shoes when she entered dongeun or ms. kang's house yet taking her shoes off in her own home, doyeong taking off his shoes when he came to dongeun's apartment. it's a cool motif

a couple ppl have already clarified what happened with dongeun's mom and the bribes but lemme elaborate just a tad bit more basically it used to be a really common issue in korea back in the day where teachers would take bribes from student's parents in exchange for preferential treatment for their kids. i could be wrong but im p sure this was made officially illegal a while ago, but ofc things like this still happen from time to time bc corruption. that's why dongeun was digging through the trash at her apartment, it shows one of the boxes labeled "from [student's name]'s mother" so all the luxury goods dongeun's mom had were from parents. basically yeonjin had dongeun's mom call up all the parents from dongeun's class and propose bribes to them behind her back. the moms that refused are the ones confronting dongeun about it in her classroom

When you guys are done with The Glory could you react to Move To Heaven?!? It's really short so you could watch it along with Crash Landing On You

DO YEONG BEATING THE SH*T OUT OF JAE JUN WILL ALWAYS BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS EP🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Sa Ra does have something to lose though she's the priest's daughter and he has a really big reputation so this Scandal could ruin him not only that but with the drug thing she'll go to jail this time and this will be her first offense but she will have to be extra careful now because if she does drugs again and gets caught she'll really get convicted and that's why she'll be in danger she also will be publicly humiliated because drugs is really Taboo in Korea and she was also caught on camera touching herself

With Sa-ra's punishment, reputation in Korea is EVERYTHING. Jail isn't necessarily the punishment. It's ruining her and her family because her father is this famous pastor. So all this will downfall on her family and hurt them.

Some things to clarify: * Dong-Eun got confronted by the moms because of her own crazy mom bribing all of them. The mom got all those expensive gifts by bribing Dong-Eun's student's moms. Yeong-jin gave her the call list of all the student's parents to try and get Dong-Eun fired. Yeonjin also gave doc's number to Dong-Eun's mom to cause chaos. * The So-hee's body in the freezer thing... they're talking about the morgue in the hospital (where the So-hee's body should be, instead of the freezer), not the one Dong-eun owns (where Myeong-O's body is). The police told Yeo-jong's mom (the hospital director) that they would have to recieve punishment and pay a fine if they don't put So-hee's body back into the morgue. The corrupt cop wanted So-hee back into the morgue so it would start decomposing and the evidence for autopsy would be compromised. But the badass hospital director says they'll pay the fine and recieve punishment, but still keep the body in the freezer until a proper investigation is conducted. * With the Sa-Ra thing... yeah, her dad is a pastor of a mega-church. The kind of church that influences political votes and stocks. And she is a pretty well-known artist so she has some level of celebrity.

Dong-eun's mom started harrasing and calling the school's moms, that's how they all ended up voting to get her fired.

I love how the first half of this show is such a slow burn to set everything up and then the last 5 episodes are just WILD! The expressions ya'll had on your faces during the part with Sa-ra was exactly the same as mine when I watched it. Can't wait for you to see what's next!
