Song Hye Kyo Offers Lim Ji Yeon One Last Chance To Make Things Right
After Dong-eun's new landlady breaks an earthenware pot on the roof of her apartment building, there's a brief montage that shows various clips hinting towards other elements of the series.
They include flashes of crime scene tape, a girl falling and her body smashing into glass-like pieces on the ground, torn-out notebook paper, a young Yeon-jin peeking out from behind a nurse's office curtain, a tablet dissolving in water, Dong-eun holding a phone while seen in the reflection of a washing machine, and a man removing his watch.
Some of these are shots from later moments in the episode, such as Dong-eun's homeroom teacher removing his watch to slap her or Yeon-jin ambushing Dong-eun in the nurse's office. Shots of a girl falling seem to reference Yoon So-hee, the girl who Yeon-jin's clique bullied prior to Dong-eun and who Dong-eun asserts that Yeon-jin killed.

The shaman told you to avoid people with O's in their names because they'd bring you bad luck, Yeon-jin's mother tells her. I'm talking about Son Myeong-o and Choi Hye-jeong.
It's foreshadowing —both Myeong-o and Hye-jeong eventually agree to assist Dong-eun with her revenge plan later in the series. Of course, that's to say nothing of Moon Dong-eun herself being bad news for Yeon-jin.
Is it because when the world is upside down, people will understand you even if you can't tell some colors apart? she asks, before Ye-sol remarks that Dong-eun's green shoes are just like her mother's.

It's an early reference to the trait that Ye-sol shares with her biological father, Jeon Jae-jun, foreshadowing questions about her parentage that arise later in the season.
While studying at the textile factory, Dong-eun flips through flashcards with both English and Korean translations of words on them. One of those words is glory, or 영광, seen at the bottom of her second flashcard.
During a math tutoring session with a presumably wealthy student, there's a poster of a duck wearing a fake mustache on the wall behind Dong-eun and the young man. It bears the text inimitable Savignac, suggesting that it was created by the 20th-century French poster artist Raymond Savignac. Some of Savignac's posters are sold today for hundreds or thousands of dollars.

During the episode, both Yeon-jin's husband Do-yeong and Dong-eun's Go partner, Yeo-jeong, are seen watching Yeon-jin's weather forecast. In the hospital lobby where Yeo-jeong is watching, a commercial for Do-yeong's company Jaepyeong Construction plays after the broadcast.
In episode 3, Dong-eun gets coffee from the same café where she and Yeo-jeong got drinks from when they played Go together.

While sitting on the stage of the gym, Yeon-jin sings the song Two of Us by Chae Yeon, a soloist also known by the name Lee Chae-yeon (not to be confused with the Korean solo artist of the same name who was born in 2000). The song was released in 2004, fitting in with the early 2000s timeline of Dong-eun and Yeon-jin's high school years.
Hyeon-nam quotes a novel that she initially calls Raemian, saying that her daughter was reading it. Dong-eun corrects her on the title: it's actually Demain, a 1919 novel by Herman Hesse.
The novel itself is popular in South Korea, according to the LA Review of Books, and has been referenced in other popular works such as BTS' 2016 album Wings.

After a soccer game, Do-yeong tells his daughter that she played just like Sonny, using a nickname that references Korean soccer player Son Heung-min. Son plays for the Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur in the United Kingdom and is the captain of the South Korean national team, which competed recently at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

In episode 1, Dong-eun imagines Yeon-jin entering her apartment in Semyeong and scolds the imaginary Yeon-jin for wearing her shoes in the apartment.
In episode 8, when Yeon-jin breaks into Dong-eun's apartment, she doesn't remove her shoes —just as Dong-eun had predicted. Yeon-jin and her friends also don't remove their shoes when they ambush Dong-eun at her own apartment in episode 1.
