Queen of Tears: Episode 8 Recap 

Hae-in finally regains her memories. Despite her worsening illness that causes her memory to fade, she intentionally triggers her memories and declares a divorce to Hyun-woo. 

Vincenzo, a Mafia consigliere, appears as her divorce lawyer! 

Vincenzo, Hae-in's divorce lawyer, doesn't negotiate with words! He is a consigliere (Song Joong-ki) who believes in "punishing evil with evil" and acts accordingly. The appearance of Song Joong-ki is a completely unexpected turn of events, and it shows the power of the writer! 

Hae-in pushes for a divorce even more strongly. Vincenzo tries his best to minimize any damage to Hae-in. He pushes for an amicable divorce citing their different personalities and growing distance as reasons for the separation. 

In the process of investigating Hyun-woo, Hae-in finds out about the noodle restaurant he often visits and goes there to. Coincidentally, she ends up in the same space as Hyun-woo and hears his sincere feelings. 

Eun-sung, always trying to take Hae-in's place, finds it difficult and constantly fails. Meanwhile, the Queens Continental City Resort project, led by Hae-in's younger brother Soo-cheol, faces significant issues, throwing the entire Queens Group into chaos. 

Hyun-woo, whose trust was broken by the wiretapping incident, tells Man-dae, Hae-in's grandfather, that Eun-sung is dangerous and tries to stop the contract. However, Chairman Man-dae distrusts Hyun-woo and joins hands with Eun-sung. 

Those who learn about Eun-sung's secret join forces to confront him! 

Hyun-woo and Beom-ja, who learned about the Hope Nursery Home, start to work together in earnest to dig into the past of Eun-sung and Moh Seul-hee. What have they been up to, living as someone else's identity for decades? And since Seul-hee's son is Eun-sung, it's even more serious, so Beom-ja and Hyun-woo move quickly to protect the Queens Group. 

The DNA test results for Seul-hee and the new President Eun-sung come out, and it is confirmed that they are mother and son with a probability of over 99%. Eun-sung is shocked to learn from Hyun-woo that he has been gradually collecting Chairman Hong's shares. 

Seul-hee finally reveals her true identity! 

She was the boss villain. While playing Korean chess with his live-in girlfriend, as usual, Chairman Hong has trouble breathing... "Please lie down like a corpse and die. You can do that for me, right?" Seul-hee tells the chairman. The acting is creepy! She puts something on a Korean chess piece that causes him to become paralyzed. Chairman Hong loses consciousness and collapses eventually. 

With Seul-hee becoming Chairman Hong's legal guardian and based on the notarized document signed by Man-dae giving her proxy voting rights, Seul-hee takes over Queens Group. All of the Queens Group family members were stripped of their management rights, and the Queens Group passed to the mother-son duo of Eun-sung and Seul-hee. 

The Queens family members are all in Yongdu-ri...? 

The Queens' owner family, treated so disdainfully because their house was in the countryside, are now exiles. The ruined owner's family has arrived in Yongdu-ri!
