[Queen of Tears] EP1 recap Kim Soo-hyun decides to divorce
The tvN weekend drama "Queen of Tears" (director Park Ji-eun, Jang Young-woo and Kim Hee-won), which first aired on the 9th, depicts the process of a third-year married couple Baek Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun) and Hong Hae-in (Kim Ji-won) making a new change in their marriage.
"The Queen of Tears," which opened with a scene of Baekhyun-woo and Honghae-in's happy wedding on the day, shed light on countless speculations surrounding the couple of the century. The news of the marriage of the daughter of Korea's largest conglomerate and a new employee from the countryside made headlines. Even after three years of marriage, interest in Baekhyun-woo and Honghae-in couple continued.
On the surface, the marriage of the two, who seemed to be the happiest couple in the world, was actually stark. Baek Hyun-woo was under extreme stress from his wife Hong Hae-in and his wife's family to the point of contemplating divorce. He was suffering from the behavior of his wife, who forced him to do what he was told to do while ignoring his opinions.
Hong Hae-in was also unhappy with the marital relationship. Hong Hae-in, who responded coldly to her husband's words that refuted his remarks, looked strange as if Baek Hyun-woo's smile in the interview picture was unfamiliar.
The reason why Baek couldn't get a divorce was fear. It is not easy to notify the Queen's group of divorcees who are preparing to put a knife in their back. Even if I consulted a psychiatrist, the only answer to relieve the depression was divorce.
As he became increasingly complicated, Baek went to his hometown for the first time in a long time and announced his divorce to his family. It was obvious that if a divorced child came out in a small neighborhood, it would become a snack for the people in the neighborhood, and especially, the older and older sisters, who were greatly indebted to the younger brother who was married to the Queens group, were the most outcry.
Despite being discouraged by his parents and siblings, Baek eventually decided to submit the divorce papers to Hong Hae-in. While he was determined to tell his wife about the divorce, Hong Hae-in's sudden confession of the deadline made him hold his mouth shut. Confused by the unexpected words, Hong Hae-in sealed it, saying, "I can only live for three months."
Unable to present his divorce papers in front of his wife, who is about to die, Baek expressed embarrassment with tears in his eyes. However, there is a meaningful look on Baek's face, and curiosity is focused on his intention.
As such, the first episode of "Queen of Tears" gave an eye-watering immersion with the story of Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in, who faced divorce three years after they married.
It also maximized the fun of watching the feast of unique characters, such as the Queens family, Korea's top chaebol, and the Yongduri family, who dominate the countryside.
In particular, the actors' passionate performances, which were completely incorporated into the characters, also caught the eye. Among them, the perfect synergy between Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won, who portray the temperature difference between the couple in the third year, makes us more curious about how the future of Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in will flow in the play.
