Moon Dong-eun

 (Korean: 문동은) is a character in the Korean drama series The Glory. She is portrayed by Song Hye-kyo and Jung Ji-so.

Biography
In high school, Dong-eun was severely abused. She was burned, assaulted and mocked, but no one, not even her mother or teachers, protected her. Her bullies included Park Yeon-jin, Jeon Jae-jun, Lee Sa-ra, Choi Hye-jeong and Son Myeong-o. Yeon-jin's mother, Hong Yeong-ae, ensured her daughter never faced consequences for her crimes.

When Dong-eun dropped out of school due to bullying, Yeong-ae bribed Dong-eun's mother, Jeong Mi-hee, into changing the reason on the drop-out form from "bullying" to "maladjustment". When Dong-eun provided police with evidence of her daughter's involvement in Yoon So-hee's death, Yeong-ae paid the police officer to give her the evidence and not mention it in the reports.

Since dropping out to escape from the abuse, Dong-eun has since spent years plotting revenge. After becoming a teacher at Semyeong Elementary School, an elementary school attended by the daughter of Park Yeon-jin, the ringleader of the friend group that bullied Dong-eun. She starts closing in on her assailants, with the intention of striking them where it will hurt the most.

Yeo-jeong is into Dong-eun, but she is too focused on plotting revenge to notice. She is also wary of his privileged life as Yeo-jeong's father ran the hospital where he's now employed.

Dong-eun passed the teacher qualification exams in Spring 2015.

While looking through Yeon-jin's garbage one evening, she is caught by Yeon-jin's housemaid, Kang Hyeon-nam. Hyeon-nam offers to help Dong-eun insytead of reporting her. In return, Dong-eun is given the responsibility of keeping Hyeon-nam's abusive husband away forever.

One night, Yeon-jin's husband, Ha Do-yeong befriends Dong-eun while playing Go, not knowing that she has been stalking his family for years.
