Queen of Tears: Episode 9 Recap
The Queens Group Family Experiences Yongdu-ri
Grace Ko, a private secretary of the Queens family, who knows too much about the family's secrets, and Seul-hee, who has been with the family for 25 years, have turned their backs on the Queens Group, causing the family to be kicked out of both the company and their home, leaving them penniless.
Hyun-woo takes his ex-wife's family to the Yongdu-ri house where his parents live. Hae-in's parents, who were always arrogant and looked down on others, are now forced to live with Hyun-woo's family in the small village, creating a chaotic situation.
Just a short while ago, Hae-in's mother, who had treated Hyun-woo's mother with such disdain, is now experiencing the harsh realities of life in Yongdu-ri, starting with stepping in cow dung. Hyun-woo has no choice but to leave his sick ex-wife, Hae-in, at his family's home although they are divorced and he is not considered a son-in-law anymore.
Trying to be a little less unhappy today
Hae-in's mother is uncomfortable seeing Hyun-woo's mother, who she had treated so rudely. However, she has no choice but to eat the plain food provided, as they have nowhere else to go. Hae-in's father, who is used to fine dining, is surprised that the country food is quite delicious.
Hyun-woo's sister and brother want Hyun-woo to get back together with Hae-in, and they are angry at Hae-in's apathetic attitude. Hae-in's younger brother Soo-cheol still can't believe his wife Da-hye and son have run away. However, he reads a letter left by his wife that reveals the truth about everything and how she has been living a lie all this time. He breaks down in tears in front of his older sister Hae-in.
Seul-hee and Eun-sung take over the Queens Group
Enraged by Seul-hee's attitude of abandoning him as a child and choosing the Queens Group, and now claiming that she made that choice to give the Queens Group to her son, Eun-sung sets out to find Hae-in, who has been kicked out of the house.
Hae-in discovers that an MP3 player she found on a high school sports field as a child belonged to her. This reveals that they had a connection even in their school days, without even knowing it.
Worried about Hae-in's health, Hyun-woo checks on her before work. He leaves for the company, which is now without his in-laws. It seems that there will be a major restructuring at Queens Group now that Eun-sung is the chairman. Hyun-woo tries to keep Eun-sung by his side as much as possible and asks him for a month to find another job before he is fired. Hyun-woo is the only one who can legally prove the investment fraud that allowed Eun-sung to take over Queens.
Meanwhile, Eun-sung is shocked to learn that Hae-in has only three months to live. Hae-in collapses unconscious near the Yongdu-ri house, and the whole family is worried. However, Hae-in's mother is the only one who doesn't care whether her daughter is sick! Seeing this, her aunt Beom-ja quietly calls her sister-in-law and asks her to be kind to Hae-in.
Eun-sung appears in front of Hae-in in Yongdu-ri!
With Eun-sung's arrival in Yongdu-ri, the people of the Queens Group are forced to rely on Hyun-woo, whom they have always ignored. Even though the couple is divorced, Hyun-woo seems to be the only hero who can save this family because he still loves Hae-in.
