They instead choose to take things slowly, especially with Hae-in only partially regaining her memories, and dedicate themselves to being by each other’s side rather than labeling their relationship. Hae-in and Hyun-woo both share their fears about their future, with Hae-in even suggesting that she would have rejected Hyun-woo if he were to propose. Yet, Yoon Eun-sung would remain blinded by his own desires until the very end, and would never recieve the love he always craved.Ĭommunication was never a strength in Hong Hae-in and Baek Hyun-woo’s relationship, but Queen of Tears’ final episode shows how far they’ve come when it comes to expressing their feelings. In this scene, Eun-sung’s love for Hae-in was the one thing he felt that he was able to control, and would be able to grant him the happiness that the constant abandonment and betrayal by his mother never allowed him. Mo Seul-hee (Lee Mi-sook) had manipulated Eun-sung her entire life, prioritizing the bigger picture over her son. This showdown highlights the tragic life of Yoon Eun-sung, and his desire for love that he never got. However, this plan soon backfires and Eun-sung is killed by the police during a tense climax.

Despite Hae-in's feelings, Eun-sung attempts to kill Hae-in, so no one else can have the thing that he desires most. Combined with the knowledge she had gained from her notebook, Hae-in finally realized that Eun-sung was not a person to be trusted after months of manipulation from him. Although Hae-in is unable to remember Hyun-woo’s parents, this sequence also proves just how close the Baek and Hong families have become with everyone waiting by Hyun-woo’s bedside for days before he finally wakes up next to Hae-in.Īlthough Hae-in’s memories had not fully returned, Hae-in’s emotions from before her surgery still lingered. It also triggered some of her old memories as the Déjà vu experience of Hyun-woo lying on a hospital bed preparing for surgery reminded her of her own.

Hyun-woo’s second near-death experience is even more emotional than the first, as it only re-affirms the emotional memory and information that Hae-in had gathered from her previous life. Hyun-woo, however, is significantly injured, which hinders his escape plan and results in him and Hae-in being caught by Eun-sung, before sacrificing himself for her in one of Queen of Tears' best scenes. Despite being run over by Yoon Eun-sung in the final moments of episode 15, Hyun-woo promptly leaves the hospital to rescue Hae-in with the help of his trusted best friend, Kim Yang-g (Moon Tae-yoo)i. The Queen of Tears finale is no different. Much like the rest of the series, Queen of Tears’ finale is not short on emotions, and after a showdown between Hae-in, Hyun-woo, and Eun-sung (Park Sang-hoon) where Eun-sung eventually meets his demise, Queen of Tears concludes, showing just how much the Hong family’s perspectives have shifted for the better.īaek Hyun-woo’s unconditional love for Hae-in has been constantly proven throughout Queen of Tears, and he has put himself in danger multiple times to ensure Hae-in’s safety. Many of the predictions for Queen of Tears’ finale came true, with Queen of Tears delivering a happy ending for Hae-in, Hyun-woo, and their families that did not seem to have been possible only a few weeks before. Queen of Tears’ cast gives career-best performances in this emotional tale of love, hardship, and business, and is a key reason for Queen of Tears’ success. Directed by Jang Young-woo and Kim Hee-won and written by K-drama mastermind Park Ji-eun, Queen of Tears is a romantic comedy that follows the hardships of married couple Baek Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun) and Hong Hae-in (Kim Ji-won) as they navigate life on the brink of divorce, and the terminal illness that Hae-in is diagnosed with.
