Queen of Tears: Episode 10 Recap

 

A Chaotic and Wise Life in Yongdu-ri 

What an incredible character! Hyun-woo is handsome, a great fighter, a former chaebol son-in-law, and a lawyer, lol. He used to box and managed to single-handedly take down Pyun Sung-wook, the head of a real estate agency, along with his gang, handing them over to the police. 

Despite emerging victorious from the scuffle, Hyun-woo needs nursing a few injuries. Hae-in, concerned about his well-being and the potential for future harm, insisted on inspecting his wounds. The intimate nature of their interaction, despite their three-year separation, sparked a rekindling of their romantic feelings. Hyun-woo's reluctance to leave for work, stemming from their newfound closeness, becomes a cause for concern, adding a touch of lighthearted humor to the situation. 

They start to appreciate each other more than they did before. Had they been more understanding and compromising, they wouldn't have had to go through this separation. While staying in Yongdu-ri, they feel the warmth of the community and confirm their feelings for each other. 

Hyun-woo is upset about a sudden job transfer. He confronts Eun-sung, who issued the order and tells him about handing Pyun Sung-wook over to the police, trying to provoke him. 

Amidst the tranquil haven of Yongdu-ri, Young-song (Kim Young-min) leads a quiet life, diligently caring for his ailing mother with dementia. While maintaining a close friendship with Hyun-woo's family, his gentle demeanor and compassionate nature have caught the eye of Hae-in's aunt, Beom-ja. Beom-ja, often remarking on Young-song's uncanny resemblance to the legendary Hong Kong singer Leslie Cheung, can't help but wonder if love is finally in the cards for this kind-hearted soul. 

Hyun-woo and his best friend, a lawyer named Yang-gi, meet Grace Ko, the private secretary of the Queens family and the queen of gossip. They expose her shady dealings, including running 13 aesthetic franchises without proper registration and committing tax evasion, and threaten her with this information.

Beom-ja is a total boss! She smashes Grace's arrogance, making everyone feel triumphant and relieved. Grace is left speechless when Beom-ja appears and starts interrogating her about Eun-sung. Whether Seul-hee or Beom-ja finds the chairman first depends on Grace. 

What's happening to the Queens Group lady?

Hae-in’s mother can't afford coffee until Hae-in’s mother-in-law coolly pays for it and then tells her to work at the orchard to repay her, lol. 

The vice-chairman of Queens Group drinks ramen broth in one go, lol. Knowing the taste of ramen with soju or makgeolli could be dangerous! :) 

Hyun-woo tells his mother about Hae-in's illness and asks her to take care of her. His kind-hearted mother, overwhelmed with sorrow, bursts into tears and scolds Hyun-woo for letting it come to this. Now, Beom-ja, Hyun-woo's mother, and Hyun-woo are the ones who know about Hae-in's illness. 

Hae-in’s younger brother, Soo-cheol, discovers that his runaway wife Da-hye has logged into their shared game account. He messages her in the game to remind her about their son’s vaccination, giving the feeling that Da-hye might come back because of Soo-cheol’s kind heart. 

The return of the Queen of Queens, Hae-in! 

Hae-in seems determined about something big. As soon as she arrives at Queens Group, she meets Eun-sung. Hae-in declares that she will handle her problems herself, choosing to stand by Eun-sung’s side. 

Eun-sung gathers many reporters for an important announcement. He declares his intention to reinstate Hae-in as the representative of Queens Department Store.

Hae-in: “I was blackmailed by Chairman Yoon. He threatened to frame my husband, Hyun-woo, the legal director, with any charges and send him to prison.”

Hae-in reveals to everyone why she cannot return to Queens Group. She discloses her illness, which she had kept hidden from her family, and announces that she has only a short time left to live.
