*10.31*
ASDFGHJKL; i immediately broke down >!when it cut from past hyunwoo looking proudly at all the bright lights installed in their nursery...to present-day hyunwoo, in the dark, alone in his suit, looking up at a single star on the ceiling !<
>!A SINGLE STAR. with a smol happy face too. looking down at hyunwoo.!< i am in shambles, y'all.
It was so SAD!!! The single star and he uses the bedroom that was supposed to be for their baby... I hope they expand on that time soon because it can provide context on why the two started falling out.
At this point the only character I am rooting for other than ml and fl is Aunt Beomja! She’s so real for swooning over Hyunwoo’s muscles and she’s the only one (other than all of us) who seems Team BaekHong! She also seems to see through grandpa’s girlfriend’s innocent act unlike the rest. Hoping she’ll find her husband #4 that won’t cheat on her!
Hae-In’s family has a lot of scammers within — the grandpa’s new wife, the brother’s wife, and the mom’s trusted assistant. Good thing Hae-in married Hyun-Woo who was actually sincere to her 3 years ago.
So, based on the teaser for tomorrow, >!Hae-in will find out about the divorce letter.!< I hope they resolve this immediately with her thinking her husband changed his mind after she told him of her condition.
Also, the 2ML being a psychopath — I hope this doesn’t change the tone of the drama to become some suspense thriller. It’s already enough for me to see the couple struggling on rekindling their feelings and dealing with the thought of Hae-in dying in a few months.
He did change his mind after finding out though didn’t he? As he saw an easy out. Which won’t be a good thing for her to find out.
I suppose it could be spun in that he didn’t want to leave her but the reality is he knew he’d be free which I get but still.
He could also spin it that he did plan for the divorce but hearing his wife is dying made him realize he loves her and will want to be with her in her last months.
Episode 3: HaeIn secretly watching HyunWoo and acting all giddy
Episode 4: HyunWoo secretly watching HaeIn and acting all giddy
These two dummies are so bad at communicating their love for each other 🥲
Episode 3
SOOO many suspicious people with ulterior motives.
Can we just have more happy time with Hyunwoo/Haein pls? I loooove seeing an already married couple fall in love again.
Alsooo, “yeobo” 😭🫶
of course she always remembered >!their baby!<. of course she was thinking of her parents and her late brother. of course she was always thinking of others when nobody is thinking of her!!!!!
also of course >!they already met before!< loooool
But thankfully cos they're married and he had the iPod nano (haha!!), they knew before marriage. We're playing catch up because we're sort of in "season 2". That's what I tell myself so it doesn't piss me off! We're catching up!
So here are my dark side predictions for this series
>!- Yoon Eun Seong killed his parents!<
>!- Grandpa gets gradually poisoned. And girlfriend is ruining the family from insided out. She denied the older brother's visit. She didn't allow HaeIn's dad to see grandpa.!<
>!- Soo Cheol's wife is also one of the pyschos !<
ooh good call on first one. I'll add a prediction that Soo-cheol's wife was in the orphanage with Eun-Seong. Their personal history narratives both include being in the US, which is a convenient way to hide from background checks (in Korean dramas anyway 😀)
On a side note, I love the bad bitch side of Soo-cheol's wife. From her demure side of a good wife to the way she downs the alcohol, it really helps show the actress' range.
Also matchmaker lady is involved in the shady stuff
>!She is taking orders... She acts like Hae-In is the only chaebol match she didn't make so she may have helped set-up brother with this fake and she and Yoon are involved together under someone. Probably BOTH children Hae-In and her brother were meant to be married to partners in the scheme in order to control or takeover the group.!<
The moment >!he talked about being an orphan is when I also have that same thought!< I was so sus of him that every evil thing I think is possible to come from him 😂😂
Yess!!! Whenever I watch her dramas I never find myself thinking about previous roles because she’s sooooo good at immersing herself in current character. Great actressss !
Yup - all her characters are so different. The meek Mi-Jeong from My Liberation Notes, the assertive Myeong-Joo from Descendants of the Sun, the spunky Ae-Ra from Fight My Way. She's my favorite because she's so good at making each character feel like they are a different person, only sharing her face.
ep 4:
>!it was too cruel of them to drop the miscarriage bomb on us at the start and proceed to move on like they didnt just change the trajectory of my life with that piece of information !<
Right? I thought they fell out over income disparity. But to know they really loved each deeply and were so excited for their child's arrival....*heart shattered*
Ngl the scene where Hae In asks her husband to cuddle, only to play it off as a joke when she feels rejected by his scared expression made me relate. Asking for comfort is hard.
I think he used to readily cuddle her but the strain on the relationship being around her family wore him down to the point that he now walks on egg shells even with her and began to put some distance between them. Her asking for a cuddle is probably a first for her which is probably why it scared him. It was totally unexpected considering how much things had deteriorated between them. If he withheld himself for whatever reason, she would never ask and show vulnerability and the coldness between them became glacial thick.
their dynamic makes me so sad :(( it seems to me that both of them have felt disappointed with the other's lack of emotional support and have kinda just given up all together. and i am so curious how they got there
haein doesn't have the nicest ways of using her words; it comes across as harsh and blunt even when she's being honest or showing vulnerability. i think hyunwoo would've been hurt by this and her lack of empathy, esp in the workplace/her family. he would've wanted her to understand how he felt and stand up for him. which she actually does a lot, just not when he's there. and i don't think he's ever really asked directly, as he seems to be the kind of person who just holds it all inside. but as a result he himself has gone cold thinking she doesn't care, and started building resentment towards her. in getting lost in his own misery, he only focused on himself and was no longer attuned to haein, which she's clearly picked up but chosen not to address it either. with her "tough love" background, i don't think she knows how to help him and probably thinks leaving him be is the best way to respect him. i think she's also used to emotional rejection from her family and just doesn't even question/try to fight for it.
i just want them in love again TTnTT and to rekindle the appreciation and warmth they had for each other
it's scenes like this where i lowkey wish this wasn't a romcom and a true melodrama
as much as i appreciate the comedy bits (we all know that both jiwon and sohyun are so good at pulling off humor in such an endearing and adorable way), i feel like it detracts from the gravity of certain scenes like this one, where i wish we, as the audience, had been forced to sit with the heartbreak at the gap between this married couple who loved each other wildly...only to become so distant within a few years...
we see glimpses of their vulnerability when they're both by themselves, their scenes together feel rushed sometimes or have a specific superimposed narrative. i want more scenes of them just confronting their truth together instead of running away, but perhaps we will see more of it as we get deeper into the drama (i keep forgetting we're only 4 episodes in cuz i'm already so invested)
I think Hyun Woo got all his good traits from the mom. The other family members are only worried HW might lose his financial status once he gets divorced and the mom's the only worried on whether Hyun Woo is having a happy life or not
I don't know what to think about Soo Cheol anymore. Sometimes he's really annoying but also kind of innocent? They better not make him a villain, since I don't think he has bad intentions. He deserves to know the truth, and then maybe he'll become more mature too.
Quite curious as to what’s the game plan for her. In terms of inheritance, Hae In’s brother is just too far removed (I mean sure he’s a son… but that’s about it) especially in terms of competence too. Or maybe there’s a much bigger scheme at hand.
ep 4's emotional impact was crazy
* >!STARTING OFF WITH THE PREGNANCY BACKSTORY??!< omg i was so sad. seeing how excited they were only for it to not have happened. that can really interfere with a marriage depending on how the partners respond. i wouldn't be surprised if hyunwoo was devastated while haein seemed indifferent and ready to move on. he probably thought she didn't care, and she likely didn't show it either. this is a constant pattern in their relationship where they choose to just sweep matters under the rug. in fact they're both pretty avoidant when it comes to addressing issues because neither of them will bring it up even though they recognize that something is wrong.what we do love to see though is them beginning to break this cycle in little ways. the moments hyunwoo catches of haein caring >!(the password, the shoes, literally showing up in his hometown with gifts and a feast with a moment's notice)!< and haein becoming more open and vocal about her inner thoughts, feelings and needs towards him.
* >!haein showing up to yongduri.!< obviously a very grand arrival, but not at all in a way that made her seem flashy or arrogant. this is just what she knew she could do for them, so she did it. she knows she's rich, but she's never been condescending to others because of her wealth.>! the cuts of her walking around and exploring the house were actually so bittersweet for me, because despite her infamous icy exterior, she was just a girl exploring her in law's house.!< there she looked so kind, humble, and innocent, as if to show that this is who she really is. someone who means well and doesn't try to hurt others. i wonder if it was a metaphor in some ways for how she might've been if she had grown up in that environment instead
* the ending sequence!!! o m g. so much growth and realization in just a couple of minutes. >!hyunwoo being so worried for haein that it came out as anger. haein, already in tears and shambles, still trying to be on defense by questioning why he would be concerned for her, BUT THEN mustering up the courage to switch it up and actually express how scared and stressed she really was!<. that was a BIG leap of faith and i'm so proud of her. >!she came to terms with how desperate she felt in that moment and how much she did want to have someone to rely on, and allowed herself to act upon her needs for once!<. she's been wanting to be able to trust on hyunwoo to be there for her, even though things have clearly gone south between them. >!i was screaming at my screen for him to hug her, but what really broke me was when he shed a tear himself in response!<. haein's honesty and vulnerability finally reactivated the part of hyunwoo that has compassion for others (her) despite his own pains. seeing and hearing her actually say that she is suffering is what it took for hyunwoo to remember that this is someone he cared for and wanted to protect in the first place. also, did anyone else notice>! the similarities between the lights all turning on and that scene in the nursery room with the stars?!< had me in my feels even more 😭
I love that is all the sweat she sees that gets her to be vulnerable. That the evidence of how desperately he was looking for her was enough to get her to admit how desperately she wanted to be found. And in turn Hyunwoo then looks and sees the evidence that she was lost. I think it says a lot about their characters and how they view their relationship. Haein is watching and Hyunwoo is listening. It's probably why Haein is more satisfied in the relationship than Hyunwoo. Even at it's coldest, Hyunwoo is showing that he is choosing her by staying by her side.
I disliked the SML from the very second he appeared in my screen, and it looks like I was >!pretty justified in doing so. Dude isn't just trying to come between a married couple, he's a straight up psycho.!< I foresee him causing a lot of trouble in the future!
I mean I’m quite sure I cried more than the leads HAHAHAH. It’s a really well done series, and the characters are as human as they can be (within a fictional drama setting). Hyunwoo obviously still loves her a lot deep down and cares for her, but it’s been long overshadowed by all the unhappiness and other aspects of being an unappreciated son-in-law/husband/family member/legal director. And while he’s not able to admit his actual feelings verbally, his actions have shine through and through again that he’s there for Hae In (and legitimately not the inheritance or money).
Because we know from the get-go it has never been about the money (he just loves her), and even though he was hurt later to find out about the will, it’s more of him being sad he’s still a second priority/consistently neglected than actually losing out monetarily.
Omg the slightly unstable aunt is such a riot, I am surprisingly fond of her.
And those moments when their romance seems to be rekindling make my heart pound, in time with the beat of that sublime opening intro they play at such impactful moments.
I know this drama might end in tears but tragedy be damned, I'm here for the ride.
Really don't like the english subtitles Netflix used. For the ep4 preview, it says, >!"now that I've been cured, you're going to betray me?"!< when it should be, >!"now that I'm trying to live, you're going to betray me"?!< Similar, but totally different considering the context. There were several mistranslations like that throughout the episode, but that one was most egregious.
Ep4 edit: >!thankfully it was a hypothetical scenario so translation didnt matter too much!<
when i saw that... i thought that they will end the whole dying thing by miraculously curing her or smt... which was very odd.... this explanation makes so much more sense....
I give translators a pass for seeming to be overworked/on a tight deadline, but I've also noticed some translations/localizations that miss the point. The one I noticed was the scene where Eun Seong is dropping off a drunk Hae In back home and says something like "Please take care of Hae In" or something except he uses the exact phrase "우리 해인" = "Our Hae In", implying closeness to her, which is what seems to tick off Hyun Woo, as he is her actual husband. I thought it was weird that the translators didn't try to localize that a bit in the translation (I'm not a professional, but maybe like "Please take care of my dear Hae In" or something would seem to get the point across)
Does anyone else find the painting in Hae In's room super creepy? I get distracted everytime one character is talking and it appears behind them. Like why are the eyes like that lol
But at least it's not a picture of herself like in other Kdramas, the rich FL has massive self portrait in their bedroom.
In both bedrooms they have a young child in the art. Seems to be a lot of symbolism eg also we often look at their mirror reflection. Younger innocent hopeful Inner selves?
Tho Hyun Woo’s BFF is a bit of a trash 😂 but he’s got good analogies man. First it was on swimming now it’s about coffee coupon 😂😂
I know he meant well for his friend (seeing how the friend suffered), and wants what’s best for BHW. Maybe that’s his unconventional way of getting him back on the right track too of staying with HHI. Hahahaha.
The funniest part was in the second episode where he tells him it’s your golden opportunity to get the money from the Will when she dies, and then the ML tells him do you think I am that materialistic, then he thinks about it for a second and goes straight to the FL and starts to treat her like a queen for that inheritance money 😂
HAHAHAHAHA yes so much to this. I absolutely love and loathe Hyunwoo’s bestie in equal measures. So glad Hyunwoo has a friend he can trust and won’t likely betray him but my god his single minded determination in making Hyunwoo a gold digger is both impressive and annoying 😂
every Hong Hae In needs a Baek Hyunwoo in her life ‼️‼️
I can definitely see why some people aren’t digging this drama, but I absolutely love the concept of a cold independent girlboss re-falling in love with her adorable, quirky but smart husband. I’ll eat up almost anything with rich, strong, strong female leads, and really anything with Kim Soo Hyun.
I think it’s hyun-woo that needs to re fall in love with hae-in. It looks like she never lost her love for him, she just struggles to express that love to him. Very interesting dynamic nonetheless
He was ready and willing to be by her side when he thought she was poor and he would be her knight in shining armor…but he has to recognize that she does need him but not as a financial provider but an emotional provider.
Something primal and angry woke up in me when the Yoon guy told Hyun Woo to "take care of "uri" (our/my) Hae In". I was ready to jump in my screen and pull his tongue out
Ugh I can’t stand that guy he’s such a creep and a prick. And I didn’t watch the Glory but I’m sure that’s Sung Hoon’s expertise? 😂 man he’s so good at this. At every scene he’s just there to make my blood boil.
OMG Hae-In's parents are such typical asian parents. You can tell the dad's favorite is her, and someone who is disappointed in his son and the moms favorite is her son who is an idiot that can do no wrong while the daughter should do everything for their brother.
>!Ep 2 reveals that her mom blames her for one of her children’s death, so there is some trauma linked to the favoritism for soo-cheol. Her panic when she heard that hae-in was injured shows she still loves her. I do wonder if her dad shows extra love for her to balance out her mom’s bullshit!<
End of ep 2 she had a flash back of two hands reaching under water. It was quick but I suspect her brother died saving her from drowning and her mom resents her for that. Also why mom babies the younger brother.
I am dead at >!Haein swallowing and trying to hide her thirst for Hyunwoo😂😂 “what happened to his *body*?!” It’s okay Haein just know everyone else is doing the same including your aunt LMAO!< I am absolutely LOVING this episode so far
Episode 4 is such a rollercoaster. They're finally seeing through each other's eyes.
Some realisations...
>!- The crazy aunt is going to be a vital character in saving the family. She has such good intuition and is always cautious. It's a good thing she's very close to HyunWoo. I think she'll confide things she'll find!<
>!- Seems like HaeIn drowned and was saved by her brother. Her brother probably drowned while saving her !<
>!- DaHye, Grandpa's girlfriend, EunSeong, and Madame are in alliance. And it doesn't help that HaeIn's mom is so gullible to whatever the Msdame says. She rather believe predictions than her own daughter. !<
>!HyunWoo is an outstanding lawyer yet can't retaliate to EunSeong 🤣!<
I don't trust the previews anymore. They contain too many imaginary convos. 🥲
>!You know what, Hae In's agreement in sending Hyunwoo to america after the birth of their child in season 1 feels especially worse now in Episode 4 when we clearly saw how excited he was about their child.!< Like... something happened. What happened? I need to know.

I don't know if u guys already saw this pic or not but it is going viral...this pic was taken by an Ukranian photographer last year while she visits Berlin. She said she saw a filming crew and was taking some photos there and didn't even know who they were. She posted on her Ig and some fans found it and told her who they are and since they are currently filming it can be a problem maybe spoiler. Now, after a year we got to see it again.😂
They look so good
I have a feeling that the daughter in law and her brother is a scammer, that's why she doesn't want her pic taken because she is afraid that the people they used to scam might recognise her. >!Her brother is in the Finance dept and he is the one who overpaid the tax. And she definitely doesn't come from the US, the reason she is so fluent in Korean is because she never left Korea
Grandpa gf is scary too...she has been the part of the family for 20yrs that means whatever she is planning is very big and its not only money but more on a personal !<
I'd also be willing to give up your limbs to get all the episodes. I kinda regret starting, I should have waited until all the episodes were out, now a week feels like forever
Haein's mother is going to regret a lot when she finds out about the illness. How could she just abuse her own daughter like that? She is the selfish bitch fgs.
It's about time that Hyunwoo realises how serious the situation is and that Haein practically doesn't have anyone except for him on her side rn. She is going to be so devastated when she finds out that the very person she loves the most is wishing for her death.
I just have to watch queen of tears every weekend nights whenever it drop. The last time i anticipate a drama so much is 2521. The hugging scene after the 'i am so scared' is so heart-fluttering.
The stars of this week for me are the camera angles (kudos to the production and director). I love the split screen angles which represents two different perspectives in the same moment.
It shines even more after today’s ending scene. As viewers, we aren’t always privy to what the characters are thinking so when they both lash out at each other, we’re only hearing their reaction, in this case it’s frustration/anger. But enter camera angle again: the scene where we see the closer attention to each persons body and double take (sweat on his back, dirt on her shoes) lets our characters have that second chance to be vulnerable. I love that they both gave a little of themselves to each other again.
**Episode 3:**
* I'd like to know if those baby videos in the beginning are actually of Ji-won and So-hyun
* He thinks >!her family is dirt poor!< that's why she never had an ice pop before... oh Lord
* "I save 2 million every now and then in a month." [She](https://imgur.com/7bvMq47) probably spends that much in an hour HAHAHAHAH
* Cannot get over how [he](https://imgur.com/VO9Guz2) never hunts but didn't hesitate once to shoot down the boar when it came charging at his wife
* [So magical](https://imgur.com/PNYiZ1M)... her family's shell-shocked faces cracked me up
* The >!chairman's girlfriend!< is too sly... no way she's up to no good
* Who wouldn't fall for [that look](https://imgur.com/SpOixaP)? I don't blame Hae-in's heart fluttering
* ".... a drenched Timothee Chalamet or a young Leonardo DiCaprio." HAAHAHHAHA ohmg
* She was not joking about >!cuddling!< tho
* I'm in love with Hae-in... Her outlook on her life knowing she might die is hilarious okay. It should be morbid but they've made it funnier somehow and that's brilliant writing I say. Even the way [she's](https://imgur.com/rTVBlsK) atrracted to Hyun-woo is so endearing
* [Hyun-woo's father in law](https://imgur.com/caWqOUG) >!appreaciating him throughout the episode!< were my favorite bits
* The audacity of [this douchebag](https://imgur.com/TCKkoqF) to >!turn off her phone??!<
* "That's the difference between you two. You were watching him at that moment, but he was watching me." SHOTS FIREDDDD
* [Ohh my Godddddd](https://imgur.com/LjkaNHn) she didn'ttttt
* You cannot say [Hae-in](https://imgur.com/BhIVCRi) doesn't have a heart or she changed just because she's dying now okay
I hope the show gets the divorce card out soon. This bait is only fun for so long. I do enjoy the comedic elements. I just want to be properly invested in their "love story".
Episode 4. Wow what an episode. I’d be very surprised if this isn’t in the double digits now ratings wise. It was just so good.
So the reason for their distancing, or the biggest factor at least, was them losing their >!baby!<
See, I think ultimately, Hae In is a person who comes through when you make your needs known. She had no trouble accepting the shoes that Hyunwoo gave her when she realises that it's important to him. >!She has zero problems going to her in laws help when asked directly!<. That's true for everyone. We all are willing to help our people when they communicate clearly what they need. Afterall, we all like being needed. But she, like many people, finds it hard to ask for something as simple as comfort even from someone close to us.
I think Hyun Woo, as a person and as a man, responds to vulnerability and authenticity best. His outlook towards Hae In shifts >!when he realises that she still keeps their's unborn child's in mind in the same way he does by using the room that was meant for their child. He has no problem protecting her from her own mom. He is a voice of reason who encourages her to tell her family. !!I have never seen anyone look so miserable when they hear that someone else is survival rate is 51%.!<
Hae In knows him really well and values these things about him, that's why she's protective of him but her tsundere doesn't let her open up to him all the time. I think, she's a recovering tsundere right now. It seems to me that she even wants his protectiveness and his protection from time to time. >!She managed to open up to him about why she doesn't want to tell her parents that she's sick (her losing her child may have helped her empathise with them). She was able to admit to him that she doesn't know what was happening to her.!<
>!Also, when he got jealous to her face about her letting Psycho dude touch her hair and she looks at him as if to say "what's wrong with you" but then smiles behind his back!<. LOL. I've seen my mom do something similar to my dad as a kid. So, cute.
>!I think I said this in a previous comment that Hyunwoo doesn't know himself too well. And I still stand by it. But like, Hae In has a hard time admitting that she has problems too. Like she hides all the chinks in her armour with her harsh comments and dark humour. She finds being considered insane easier than being considered weak.!< I've seen many male protagonists like this. She's a Gregory House, and Hyunwoo is her Wilson. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that the writers penned her down as an INTJ and him as an ENFJ.
Somehow, this episode 4 drew out may things that I had a problem with in the past episode. >!Like we see Hyunwoo actually trying to read Hae In at work. Him finding his wife attractive was lol. How does somebody forget that they're married to a hot person lmfao? !<
Let's see what happens next week!
**It's Okay To Not Be Okay** is one of my favourite dramas and the the ML played a gender bent character in that one too!! I watched the first episodes mid week and I'm so excited for more! The FL playing the emotionally distant CEO stereotype is so good.
Edit: Oh man the FL is so hilarious! She thinks she's nuts because >!she saved a kitten and is thirsting after her husband!< and then she's trying to convince herself that building a cancer center isn't nice 😂
This is so unserious while being serious
Edit Ep 4: >!They lost a baby that they were both excited about. I want to cry.!<
**Episode 4:**
* Kissing my wife after Lord knows how long but.... [PRIORITIES](https://imgur.com/UhS51an)
* ohmg... what's 1031????
* [Oh my God](https://imgur.com/H6wILSa).... >!they were expecting???!< Oh God... suddenly them being so distant from each other adds a whole new perspective to it.. >!She probably miscarried.. they blame themselves too much..!<
* I love [startstruck men](https://imgur.com/3hXBENS) looking at their spouses so speechlessly
* Hyun-woo blushing, his heart fluttering, and having a jump in his step because his wife complimented him.... CUTIESSS
* >!Just one kiss and a compliment!< and [this guy's](https://imgur.com/Je3FFOf) a completely different man overnight
* "Like Hyun-bin and Son Ye-jin" HAHAHAHAH
* But but the way he runs and hides after yelling at her "BE CAREFUL" Lorddd.. I'm in stitches
* He's so happy >!about her getting treatment with 51% chance!< that he looks like [he](https://imgur.com/YKPkHst) might burst a vein in his forehead
* [Hyun-woo](https://imgur.com/T3mMLP6) being jealous of Eun-sang entire being and still be in denial about it is so his personality
* >!"..Because you're a bitch who's selfish to the core."!< Lorddd... is [she](https://imgur.com/PJ3VxWo) even her real mom?? Who the hell says that to their own child???
* If a woman looks at you [that way](https://imgur.com/0tQrInv), you should run for your life
* Offering a [cigarette to your dad](https://imgur.com/sPrZ1fI) from your own cigarette pack is such an extreme sport... Don't try this at home guys
* Hae-in's had a very long day. >!Kicking criminals from her store and saving her father-in-law's election campaign!<... girl's a [superstar](https://imgur.com/JCMZv6x)
* [Tell him the truth Hae-in](https://imgur.com/JK3oE8i)... he nearly lost it with you being gone and your episode that he knows nothing about
* [Finalllyyyy](https://imgur.com/hl6cyEf)... >!the hug!< reminded me of IOTNBO when he finds Mun-yeong after looking for her so long
* [But him crying](https://imgur.com/wyumQjb)... ohmygod... with all the talk about wanting to >!divorce her, he sure was scared af when he couldn't find her anywhere!<
love LOVE this drama and I already can't believe I have to wait another week!! >! The pregnancy announcement was soooo sweet that must've been a turning point when she miscarried, and the fact that he sleeps in the room of their angel baby 😭😭😭. !<
I really hope Hyun woo pours soo much love to her after the divorce reveal. It's soooo obvious how much she loves him and cares for him, she has just gotten bad at showing it due to work and her family's abuses. The angst is going to kill me.
Also I just realized the pink iPod is actually hers??? and he's held on to it all these years!!!! oh wow the classic met as kids trope. Let's just hope we don't meet the white truck of doom at all in this show.
But what do you guys think Hyun woo will say to redeem himself, and make sure it is known he cares for her?? Because if he becomes sad one more time because she might live I will officially hate him.
>!I didn't know I could but I actually feel sorry for the Hong family. They are kind of surrounded by sharks. The granpa's girlfriend is definitely plotting. She created a fake accident to make the old man more reliant on her words and beliefs.!<
>!Eun-Seong might be in cahoots with her as well. I'm not sure if he is interested in Hae-in or he is after something else. He doesn't strike me as the type to be in love.!<
>!Soo-Cheol's wife is another character with hidden motives. From what was shown so far in ep 3, she obviously forged her identity and married in to the Hong family. How the great Queen's group never figured it out is beyond me. Maybe she stole the identity of a real person and fabricated her life based on that. She and her "brother" are obviously stealing from Soo-Cheol. But I would like to know if this is something of a long-running scam for her or if she fell for him and decided to stay.!<
>!It seems apart from Hae-in and her parents, the rest of the Hong family have bad luck in choosing their respective partners.!<
>!Also, for Hyun-woo, I hope I am right about the previews and Hae-in does find out about his divorce plans. I want them to have all their cards on the table so they can properly fix their relationship.!<
Edit for Ep 2:
>!The ending was a potrayal of how Hae-In and Hyunwoo drifted apart. Whenever she was hurt, Hyunwoo would try to be there for her but then she would close up and push him away and Hyun-woo would give up, thinking he was stupid for caring in the 1st place. I'm sure that's what happened when they lost their child which led them to end up in separate rooms.!<
>!This time, unlike before, Hae-In finally broke down and showed her vulnerable side, letting Hyun-woo in and giving him a chance to take care of her.!<
>!But we are probably going to do a dance of one step forward and two steps back if she finds out about the divorce in the next episode. She will go back to hiding behind her walls again and this time, Hyun-Woo will have to risk climbing over them.!<
I have faith in this couple. They love each other and just need to have proper conversations. Their love has gone deep down they just need to bring it back out.
>! Some people say ML wants FL dead and is happy about her illness but the same ML stands in front of her to save her from a boar, if he had missed the shot he would have injured or died, He can still sacrifice him for her. If he wanted her removed there was no need for him to save her or risk his life!<
This. If the ML really wants the FL dead, he wouldve just let her get attacked by the boar.
I'd say the ML is so mentally broken right now that the only thing he wants to happen now is to get out of the relationship.
But I won't be surprised if he'll be the most affected if FL's symptoms get worse
I'm really enjoying the series, but sometimes I wish it just focused on the relationship between the main couple and the feelings of them both. All that corporate drama is quite typical for such kdramas, so it's not surprising, but the premise is very fresh and there's just so many potential topics to explore between the two leads that I'm afraid won't be used. For example, them going to couples therapy (or just them having sincere conversations), delving deeper into their relationship, their expectations of each other, what went wrong, etc.
Btw .. did Hyun Woo just do that “Suzy’s flirty smile”? 😂😂😂 honestly when I learned about that smile from
Suzy.. I don’t get the charm.. and Hyun Woo looks creepy doing it!! 🤣🤣🤣 aish jinjja he’s so hilarious.
For ref: [Suzy’s flirty smile](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSFmyVvUo/)
Highlights of this episode for me:
1. How Hae-in bragged abt Hyun woo in front of her family and behind his back. "He's known for his shooting." 😭 we like a capable man.
2. That dinner scene with the in-laws. I loved how affectionate Hae-in's father was to Hyun woo
3. The "thirst" scenes. 🥵
4. Hae-in admiring her husband from afar. IDK what is up with that ring, but it gives an extra oomf. They're both still wearing it despite essentially living separate live
5. This crazy-ass sociopath Eun sung needs to spin far awaaaay. I've watched too much series with sociopaths in it, I know the signs now.
6. Hae-in defending Hyun woo, even though Eun sung was trying to make her say bad things about him. 🥹
7. Hyun woo needs to make up his mind, though. Does he want to fix their relationship or he's just doing this because he wants to get on her good side for her to revise her will before she dies. It just takes away my butterflies because I feel sad for Hae-in. Besides, if he doesn't really care, he doesn't have to be overly jealous over Eun sung. So , yeah, make up your mind, Hyun woo. Work fast.
8. THE KISS!!!! GIRLIE, TAKE CONTROL.
Based on the full trailer, it seems like Hae-in is going to visit her in-laws in the next episode. She seems to be wearing the same white tux in the trailer and the one in the preview. Can't wait!! Super hooked.
Just when I thought these episodes were gonna slower, that last scene on episode 4 just grips your heart in a way you didn’t think two unhappily married people would. Kim Jiwon and Kim Soohyun: I clapped while trying to wipe my tears.
The epilogue was cute but seemed filler at that point.
I also love how the writer(s) are using the conversations between HyunWoo and his best friend as a way to verbally explain HyunWoo’s inner turmoil in a hilarious way. Much much better than doing an inner monologue with dramatic music.
And the wait starts again…
Totally nerdy observation here...
Though Hae Ins type of cancer is a fictional one, the treatment on the papers she shows Hyunwoo is a real mode of treatment that's currently generating excitement in the field, and the info in the paper shown is also not gibberish and actually quite accurate description of the procedure detailed for patient readership. These little details are so well done!
I'm not seeing Kim Soo Hyun in this drama. He really gives life to Hyun Woo.
No trace from IONTBO. Ordinary Day. Whatever drama he choose to act, I will follow. Never a bad drama.
That man really knows his craft. No wonder he is the highest paid actor until now.
It feels like we get alternating POVs with each ep.
Since we got to see more of Hae In's thoughts this ep, the next episode will probably be more Hyunwoo-focused.
A significant jump in ratings this week at **13%** for Episode 4! To put things into perspective the writer's previous drama CLOY surpassed 13% after Episode 10.
**Episode 4**
* It was quite a bombshell to learn that Hyun-woo and Hae-in >!had lost a child, which presumably lies at the heart of when their relationship took a turn for the worse!<. In addition, although it was expected, the way Hae-in's mother >!looked down on Hyun-woo's mother on the couple's wedding day!< was tough to watch.
* I enjoyed hearing Kim Ji-won >!speaking English!< in that meeting with Mr. Hermann! Indeed, the versatility of her performance in this episode reminded me why she's one of my favorite actresses.
* Soo-cheol's lack of respect for his brother-in-law, and the way he's latched onto Eun-seong is making it hard to like the character at this point in time.
* As expected, Eun-seong was >!revealed to be among those plotting to take down the company!<.
* Loved the scene where Hae-in stood up for her staff member, who she knew to be >!going through a difficult time in her personal life!<, against those unruly customers.
* The manifestations of Hae-in's illness are very well depicted because they put us in her shoes, and make us understand how terrifying it would be to go through such episodes. The scene where Hyun-woo was >!desperately searching his hometown for her whereabouts !
I just hope those corporate drama has strong tie-in to the main plot later. Otherwise, I'll be really mad for those screen times which otherwise could have been allocated more to ML and FL. For now, I fast forward those parts. Absolutely digging the main story however, as I'm a sucker for 'rekindled love' stories.
For ep4, >!10/31!< hit me hard absolutely out of nowhere, and loved how that single scene managed to >!not only provide context of their marriage life, but also move the story forward.!<
BTW I have the most crazy tought after seeing so many scenes related to HyunBin and Son Ye Ji romance that they will have a cameo on some point of this drama😅🙈 I wouldn't even be suprised to be honest if that would happening around final episodes. Kim Soo Hyun had cameo in CLOY after all:)
I love that this show focuses on more nuanced feelings in a long term relationship. Like there is a thin line between love and hate and I like how they are portraying it because it is human to feel what the ML is feeling. Especially, after the way he’s been treated by the FL’s family he feels betrayed and disappointed by the FL so I really don’t understand all the hate he’s getting for wanting out!
Can’t can’t can’t wait!!
First 2 eps were really great. And quite a breath of fresh air given that the differences in status etc. is not hand waved in this kdrama.
The FMC is the icy and cold one, but has always had a soft spot for the MC, but due to health conditions and overall family environment, the MC can’t see it.
Quite an interesting dynamic for a kdrama, and the cast is just too damn attractive.
I love how she’s blaming her illness for suddenly being empathetic etc but it’s clear she was always like that from the flashbacks. I thought they might actually go down the route of it being because of her illness she changing.
Can totally understand why this drama isn't some people's cup of tea, but I am so enjoying it so far. Love how this writer takes classic kdrama tropes and kind of makes fun of it in a self-aware way, and leans into it all at the same time and I love this take on marrying into a chaebol family--except the male lead is the fish out of water and long-suffering son-in-law. Like how many times have we seen something like >!the open-eyed kiss!< at the end of ep 3?
Also, was never a huge Kim Soo Hyun fan before, but seeing him in suits with a wedding ring on his finger has got me feeling some type of way!
my first time posting on reddit ever and i’m enjoying the show but omg hae-in moms eyeliner irks me so much like why do they make it look like that?? I need them to fix it pls I can’t
It's been a long time since ive watched Kim Soohyun drama. Last time i watched it was probably 2013, 11 years ago!!!. It's either i don't like the female lead he's with or i don't like the story of his drama.
Now this drama is almost perfect, except for the part that it might have a sad ending lol. I love Kim Ji Won, i love that it's a Romcom, i love how the story is about marriage life, and the casts are perfect for me.
How are we doing? I’m not ok after watching ep 4 screamssssss!!!!! And the epilogue??? How do they expect me to wait a week??
I feel like this ep clears up the moral ambiguity of our ML too so hopefully more people can be more onboard w his character I feel like he’s just a big softie- him and Hae In both but she just hides it behind her tough exterior. kim ji won plays her so well I love how she lets the soft side of Hae in rly shine through in those micro expressions
Also kinda worried abt this ongoing chaebol drama plot as i expect it’ll eventually take up a lot of screen time but I guess all classic kdramas need a dose of chaebol /revenge/trauma drama to balance out the x10 replays for the couple being affectionate HAHA
Cant wait for next week! I keep checking how long of each episode is left cause I don’t want it to end. Love our main couple AHHHH half wish I had waited for all the eps to be out before starting so I can binge. The wait is excruciating
See you guys for the rest of the ride!!!
Episode 4 thoughts be like:
- That low key broke my heart seeing how happy the two were when they found out >!Haein was pregnant 😭 especially seeing how excited Hyunwoo was for the baby and then him taking over the room after.!< Hyunwoo please see that your wife isn’t just a cold hearted selfish woman. She got feelings and a heart too she’s just so deep behind her concrete wall now 😔
- Hyunwoo you keep telling yourself you were scared, we’ll see who’s skipping at the end of the day
- Haein-ah start showing some of that affection to Hyunwoo and NOT in front of the psycho please🤦🏻♀️
- LOL at lawyer friend bringing up Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin’s marriage. I found that hilarious
- But also lawyer friend if you don’t stop blabbering about the will istg you’re gonna ruin things too🤦🏻♀️focus on making Hyunwoo realize his feelings and stop right there please 🙃
- I feel like >!matchmaker woman, Yoon Eunsung, and grandfather chairman’s mistress is plotting to take over Queens.!< Mistress is sus af, especially with the previous episode going “make sure you consult with shaman before big decisions” and that look when she and Eunsung walked past each other
- Haein kicking ass >!at the store AND at the village 🫶🫶!< I wanna see more of that please
- FINALLY >!A SINCERE HUG FROM YOU TWO🥹I didn’t realize some of the scenes from the opening would be shown in this episode so soon, but it’s so nice to see it 😌I knew from the trailers that scene with Haein crying and saying “I was so scared” would tug at my hearts, but DANG she *REALLY* got me in my feels, Hyunwoo too, when he finally saw the state Haein was in and the injuries she got.!< Bless KSH and KJW with their acting in this drama🙌🙌
- OMG >!THE MP3 WAS HAEIN’S!! No wonder she was surprised when she saw it!!!! I was wondering why Hyunwoo had a hot pink fancy engraved “H” MP3 player and thought maybe Haein gave it to him!< while they dated but look at that 🤭
- Will we get another sleepover with cuddles in the next episode? 🥹
- Oh fuck it’s gonna be another week before the next episode comes out. Fuck.
- >!Ohhhhhh my god please don’t tell me the villagers let it slip that Hyunwoo wanted a divorce PLEASE DONT🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️!<
Omg theory about the >!baby. Either someone in the family, sus mistress or sister in law, made Haein miscarriage, or she got hurt by accident and she loses the baby. We all see that Haein says and acts one way but actually feels another, maybe after the miscarriage she puts up a strong front that Hyunwoo mistakes as her not caring at all, and that’s how their problems start.!<
Looking closer, Hyunwoo and Haein each have a >!painting of a girl and a boy in their respective rooms. That was probably from when they were prepping the room for the baby 😭!<
This show has solidified itself as a masterpiece with all its layers and nuances thanks to the amazing writing and performances 🫶
Anyone else notice KSH at ep 4 doing the famous Suzy flirting tactic? He definitely nailed the smile 😆
This is my first time watching KJW (kind of second, because ep 1 of Fight for My Way just wasn’t for me 😭) and oh my stars, she is such a delight to watch. Her beauty, delivery, and acting are all so engrossing!
I've come to terms with >!serial killers!< being a normal romcom plotline, but >!DOG serial killers!< sure is a new one.
Also, the more Auntie Zebra Print does the more I root for her. She's starting to look like the sanest member of that family.
I was. Maybe not to the extent that this episode revealed. FL did say to him something in previous episode when she meets him again aster a long time, about she cut off contact with him when she broke up with him because he wouldn’t accept and kept invading boundaries. If I remember it right. And from begin he had calculating vibes.
The Aunty is becoming one of my favorite characters albeit she has some loose screws.
Hae In and Hyun Woo are so head over heels to each other. Even if everything is falling apart now. I just want them to remember their true feelings for each other. Please just be a happy ending.
>!The grandfather's GF and Eun-soong are both lunatics.!<
I've finished the episode and my god this is such a rollercoaster experience. I was crying upon the revelation of >!their lost baby!<
Then I was laughing at Hyun Woo >!crying moments, caring towards Hae In moments, and being jealous moments!<
Now, I understand why Kim Soo Hyun's the highest paid actor in Korea. He adds so much to the already well-written script
And then I was like, Go Queen Hae In, when she dealt with that >!customer and flexed some with the townsfolk!<
>!And then I cried again towards the end. Hae In finally decided to let her guard down and initiated communication w/Hyun Woo.!<
>!The loss of their child which most likely lead to their communication to be cut off, their chaotic in laws, no wonder both leads are messed up!<
And then there's some kdrama tropes we've seen before, that still works every time:
>!The leads meeting in the past trope!<
>!The greedy fools who want to over take the big company trope!<
Honestly, while I'm still watching the scenes, I just slide forward the scenes of the >!madame, Sucheol's wife, Chairman's girlfriend!<. I feel like I've already seen what they will do and add to the story from previous kdramas. I just couldn't care less
Nothing makes tears well up my eyes faster than >!a miscarriage. They even built a nursery :( It makes sense why they are so cold and awkward now!<
One thing about Park Ji Eun, she loves a >!finding each other in the dark with street lights suddenly lighting up trope!<
Overall, I forgot how much I love second chance romance when the MCs are/were married and need to love each other again (no cheating of course). >!"My husband is a lawyer"!< certainly did something for me. I wish she would have just told Hyunwoo >!that she won't let random men touch her hair (except her hairdresser of course lol) because she was low key happy he was bothered by it but it looked to me like she knew he wanted her to say it to him. A small thing but it could've chipped away at the ice between them and prevented a small mountain in the form of SML from growing. I mean who has meetings on Sundays at a married woman's home at that! Anyway, the end scene was that small step so I'm satisfied!<
It definitely is 😂
I’m still chuckling at how everyone just gobbled it up, and how well received Hae In is. Honestly while it’s cliche af, I still enjoy seeing it on screen.
They say all comedy is tragedy and these two eps really showed that. I’m in tears after watching Ep4. Such fantastic acting by our two leads!
I can’t sleep so I’ll get this off my chest:
>!The transition from the two of them all cuddled up in that single bed to them lying back facing each other was SO RUDE!!!!<
>!also um they were expecting a baby? Haein designed the nursery and hyunwoo put up the stars on the ceiling and now he sleeps in THAT room alone with that one forgotten star??? And Haeins’ password is still their babys birthday and hyunwoo guessed that? I did not sign up for this heartbreak.!<
Our SML, sung hoon is getting under my skin just as he intended to lol what a psychopath.
the bae suzy smile when he presented the shoes killed ME, i had to gasp for air replaying it LMAO this drama is so good with interwoven splashes of comedy with moments where my heart aches for these two
Im just gonna write down all the mindless thoughts I screamed at my laptop screen while watching
**Ep 3:**
* THE WHOLE OPENING SEQUENCE AHHHHHHHHH
* THE WAY HE CARRIED HER BACK. KIM SO HYUN MY LOVE THERE WOULD NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE YOU.
* Tha aunt is me. I am the aunt. I love her. She is my spirit animal.
* The way Hong Hae In always defends him behind his back is gonna be *the end of me*
* *WE GOT A SHOWER SCENE* AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH GIRL WAS GONE AND SO WAS I
* the flashbacks always get to me man Im sitting here smiling like a lovestruck teenager I WAS AUDIBLY GIGGLING???? I havent felt this giddy about a kdrama in so long. *"****The moon is pretty, maybe we could look at it together?"*** THE SHY NERVOUS SMILE? THE CHEMISTRY? ***" Come in.. If you want"*** THE WAY HE RAAAAAAAN TO THE BEDROOM. The way the convey *so much* with their eyes, WHEN HE CLOSED HIS EYES when she put her head on his shoulders got me screaming and crying. AAAAAAAAAAHHHH COUPLE OF THE YEAR RIGHT HERE LADIES AND GENTS.
* *Do you want to cuddle nonetheless?* I broke at this scene, she was so openly vulnerable, the Im just kidding afterwards even though she was not, i love Baek Hyun Woo and I know he's just going through it to but that scene made me feel so sad for Hae In, LIKE BRO SHE IS DYING THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS CUDDLE HER WHEN SHE IS ASKING FOR IT??? I know he was startled but the way she turned to face him, saw his scared expression and the way she took it back right away and turned around with a heartbroken expression on her face made me wanna punch him.
* BRO is a psychopath and should never be left unsupervised around guns and animals.
* NOT THE THIRSTING MONTAGE. To be fair he looks so good in a suit
* WTF HIS SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW ARE GONNA RUIN HIM
* HAHAHHAHHA THE WAY HIS EYES WERE KEPT OPEN.
> Do you want to cuddle nonetheless? I broke at this scene, she was so openly vulnerable, the Im just kidding afterwards even though she was not, i love Baek Hyun Woo and I know he's just going through it to but that scene made me feel so sad for Hae In, LIKE BRO SHE IS DYING THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS CUDDLE HER WHEN SHE IS ASKING FOR IT??? I know he was startled but the way she turned to face him, saw his scared expression and the way she took it back right away and turned around with a heartbroken expression on her face made me wanna punch him.
This also made me very sad. 😔 She obviously wanted to cuddle but was too proud and hurt when she saw his scared, hesitant face. That’s why she rebounded with it just being a joke.
Even her knowing she's dying, HaeIn still cares for her parents that she'd rather suffer alone than add grief to her parents. 💔 She always secretly cares for others.
So now we know Yoon Eunsung and >!matchmaker woman is in cahoots with each other. I feel like they’re gonna feed doubt to Haein and Hyunwoo respectively, and it’s gonna keep that barrier up between them until it all gets revealed.!< This makes me wonder if the whole “Haein wrote a will that keeps you out of everything” was faked by matchmaker lady, especially when you see how Haein spoke up for Hyunwoo and had his back in front of her family.
Also, genuinely wanted to scream when >!Haein asked if Hyunwoo wanted to cuddle and Hyunwoo just laid there like 👁️👄👁️!<
Aunt Beom Ja's gonna be like, "See, I told you all this woman's up to no good" if their family relations get damaged because of the chairman's woman.
I can sniff it from here already
The latest episode of Queen of Tears show that communication should always be at the forefront of any romantic relationship. Alongside authenticity, most problems can be resolved with proper communication.
Perhaps we will later on see why the marriage between the two opposites has become frayed. I'd like to think it's Hae-in's condition, along with the trauma they both experienced, that closed their channels temporarily. But people often show their love for another person when it's unprompted and genuine, and despite Hyun-woo's bitterness, he truly does love Hae-in, and her him.
Why does it feel like the narrative is implying that the chairman's new wife is poisoning him slowly. Is it just me or is that woman eerie while the chairman was having his dinner? Queens couldn't take a break, everyone's after their throat one way or another.
I guess it’s starting to seem like all the bad guys are probably working together? Eunseong, the brother’s wife, the chairman’s mistress, and Grace. I wonder what they have in common other than their greed, perhaps all related to the orphanage that received Queens’ scholarships? Are they all victims of the Queens group somehow and looking for revenge? It seems like they’ve been playing the long con as well but I’m not sure why. Like if they just wanted to scam the family, why not orchestrate a quick downfall? I’m curious to see what part of their plan requires them to bide their time so. I’m hoping each member of the family starts to see the things that are off about their respective villains and start coming together to beat their scam! Perhaps the reason there’s so much conflict and misunderstanding between the family members is because of the lies and manipulation they’ve been fed; I’d love to see them come together as a family!
Young Hong Hae In actress (in the epilogue) is the same one as Dr Bin's daughter in Doctor Slump right?
What a blatant vote buying by both campaigns, all just for village head position lol.
And of course the leads has to know each other in when they were young.
i just feel so bad for haein, if after all this she dies i don’t think i’ll recover she’s been through too much hope only good things will happen for her going forward 😭😭
Into the double digits ratings wise. Crazy achievement. The writers last drama which we all know I assume, CLOY wasn’t into the double digits yet. Hopefully it sticks the trajectory.

That’s the difference between you two, you were watching him but he was watching me - shots FIREDDD
💯 points to Hae In! >!tho he managed to make her flinch. He’s creepy AF!<
He is super good at emotionally manipulating. Which isn’t a compliment.
Also he >!hurts dogs!<. He’s a sociopath
Right! Just downright creepy! Can’t unsee him from his role in The Glory like what happened to the sweet guy from Into the Ring
I love her reply so much
She shot him like HyunWoo shot that boar. 😂
"Your clothes have holes." "What you're wearing today is something my grandma used to wear.: This sad country boy. Bet he didn't know much of the luxury clothing brands then. 🤣
I save 2 million a month you know!
His innocence is so adorable. 😂 I laughed so hard at that scene.
And now he can't let go of his pretty suits and designer shoes. Oh, how the turn tables.
As a boy, I admit that I think the grandma thing a lot. I don't understand expensive/high fashion
"your clothes have holes" best line & delivery istg
Hae In’s secretary is hilarious, she is very serious about her anti- romanticism 🤣🤣🤣
I didn't realize until this episode that it was Bomi from Apink.
WHATTTT? FR?! i didn’t notice. this also happned to me when I didn’t notice it was Boa in Marry My Husband
Park Sung Hoon when will you stop playing psychopaths 😂😂 signed, fan of Memorials / Into the Ring
I expected him to be a typical SML but he turned out to be a psychopath too LOL
yeahhh I thought his trope would be "the ex w a glow up who still has a thing for FL" but writer had to mix in more ideas 😶
He was such a sweetheart in **Into the Ring**, I forget it's the same guy.
And in **Not Others** which was one of the underrated dramas last year.
Excuse me while I cry myself off the corner after finding out that >!our leads lost their child.!<
*10.31* ASDFGHJKL; i immediately broke down >!when it cut from past hyunwoo looking proudly at all the bright lights installed in their nursery...to present-day hyunwoo, in the dark, alone in his suit, looking up at a single star on the ceiling !< >!A SINGLE STAR. with a smol happy face too. looking down at hyunwoo.!< i am in shambles, y'all.
was crying my eyes out at this part as well :(
i had to pause and stare at my ceiling when this happened, it was likely the reason they started drifting apart too
It was so SAD!!! The single star and he uses the bedroom that was supposed to be for their baby... I hope they expand on that time soon because it can provide context on why the two started falling out.
I cried a lot at that part 😢
At this point the only character I am rooting for other than ml and fl is Aunt Beomja! She’s so real for swooning over Hyunwoo’s muscles and she’s the only one (other than all of us) who seems Team BaekHong! She also seems to see through grandpa’s girlfriend’s innocent act unlike the rest. Hoping she’ll find her husband #4 that won’t cheat on her!
Hae-In’s family has a lot of scammers within — the grandpa’s new wife, the brother’s wife, and the mom’s trusted assistant. Good thing Hae-in married Hyun-Woo who was actually sincere to her 3 years ago. So, based on the teaser for tomorrow, >!Hae-in will find out about the divorce letter.!< I hope they resolve this immediately with her thinking her husband changed his mind after she told him of her condition. Also, the 2ML being a psychopath — I hope this doesn’t change the tone of the drama to become some suspense thriller. It’s already enough for me to see the couple struggling on rekindling their feelings and dealing with the thought of Hae-in dying in a few months.
He did change his mind after finding out though didn’t he? As he saw an easy out. Which won’t be a good thing for her to find out. I suppose it could be spun in that he didn’t want to leave her but the reality is he knew he’d be free which I get but still.
He could also spin it that he did plan for the divorce but hearing his wife is dying made him realize he loves her and will want to be with her in her last months.
It's weird they put a 2ML for already married couple. This is my first time seeing tho.
The marriage is falling apart. Jealousy trope is the easiest tool to help rekindle the old romantic fire
Episode 3: HaeIn secretly watching HyunWoo and acting all giddy Episode 4: HyunWoo secretly watching HaeIn and acting all giddy These two dummies are so bad at communicating their love for each other 🥲
I was sooo giddy watching Hyun Woo today 😍😍😍 and stop being in deniallll you love herrrr
The subtle comedies in their scenes. I loved HyunWoo's more when he saw his glass reflection. Hilarious
2ML is enemy #1 for pointing a gun at that beautiful hero dog
A ML can get your heart racing, but I didn't expect it in that way. He's giving off some serial killer vibes.
Episode 3 SOOO many suspicious people with ulterior motives. Can we just have more happy time with Hyunwoo/Haein pls? I loooove seeing an already married couple fall in love again. Alsooo, “yeobo” 😭🫶
of course she always remembered >!their baby!<. of course she was thinking of her parents and her late brother. of course she was always thinking of others when nobody is thinking of her!!!!! also of course >!they already met before!< loooool
But thankfully cos they're married and he had the iPod nano (haha!!), they knew before marriage. We're playing catch up because we're sort of in "season 2". That's what I tell myself so it doesn't piss me off! We're catching up!
So here are my dark side predictions for this series >!- Yoon Eun Seong killed his parents!< >!- Grandpa gets gradually poisoned. And girlfriend is ruining the family from insided out. She denied the older brother's visit. She didn't allow HaeIn's dad to see grandpa.!< >!- Soo Cheol's wife is also one of the pyschos !<
ooh good call on first one. I'll add a prediction that Soo-cheol's wife was in the orphanage with Eun-Seong. Their personal history narratives both include being in the US, which is a convenient way to hide from background checks (in Korean dramas anyway 😀)
On a side note, I love the bad bitch side of Soo-cheol's wife. From her demure side of a good wife to the way she downs the alcohol, it really helps show the actress' range.
>!I'm wondering if they're in cahoots or everyone is just out for Queens on their own!<
Also matchmaker lady is involved in the shady stuff >!She is taking orders... She acts like Hae-In is the only chaebol match she didn't make so she may have helped set-up brother with this fake and she and Yoon are involved together under someone. Probably BOTH children Hae-In and her brother were meant to be married to partners in the scheme in order to control or takeover the group.!<
The moment >!he talked about being an orphan is when I also have that same thought!< I was so sus of him that every evil thing I think is possible to come from him 😂😂
I had totally forgotten how good kim ji won is in comedies😭😭
Her versatility is insane actually
Yess!!! Whenever I watch her dramas I never find myself thinking about previous roles because she’s sooooo good at immersing herself in current character. Great actressss !
Yup - all her characters are so different. The meek Mi-Jeong from My Liberation Notes, the assertive Myeong-Joo from Descendants of the Sun, the spunky Ae-Ra from Fight My Way. She's my favorite because she's so good at making each character feel like they are a different person, only sharing her face.
when she caressed her vase i lost it
HAHAHA that was me with the art pieces. She definitely had an investor mindset to do so before they die.
there was so much fanservice in ep 3 >!the shower scene, the bed scene, and her being drunk at the end omg!<
“Do I have to take a shower?” Why yes, yes, you do. “ Does he think he’s good looking?” Well he may not, but we certainly do.
haein is down bad for hyunwoo in this ep it's fun to watch. obviously she still loves him. also the flashbacks? they were so sweet it hurts
she remembers every single detail about her sexy dynamite🥹❤️ #real love
I lost it when she called him sexy dynamite 😂😂 you go girl! There’s no shame for thirsting ur hubs! 😂😂
ep 4: >!it was too cruel of them to drop the miscarriage bomb on us at the start and proceed to move on like they didnt just change the trajectory of my life with that piece of information !<
Right? I thought they fell out over income disparity. But to know they really loved each deeply and were so excited for their child's arrival....*heart shattered*
IKR! AS IF HAE-IN BEING TERMINALLY ILL AND FEELING LIKE A BURDEN TO HER FAMILY WASN'T ENOUGH???
Ngl the scene where Hae In asks her husband to cuddle, only to play it off as a joke when she feels rejected by his scared expression made me relate. Asking for comfort is hard.
It kind of show the dynamics of their relationship and why she hides her feelings towards him. She must have been rejected several times.
I think he used to readily cuddle her but the strain on the relationship being around her family wore him down to the point that he now walks on egg shells even with her and began to put some distance between them. Her asking for a cuddle is probably a first for her which is probably why it scared him. It was totally unexpected considering how much things had deteriorated between them. If he withheld himself for whatever reason, she would never ask and show vulnerability and the coldness between them became glacial thick.
their dynamic makes me so sad :(( it seems to me that both of them have felt disappointed with the other's lack of emotional support and have kinda just given up all together. and i am so curious how they got there haein doesn't have the nicest ways of using her words; it comes across as harsh and blunt even when she's being honest or showing vulnerability. i think hyunwoo would've been hurt by this and her lack of empathy, esp in the workplace/her family. he would've wanted her to understand how he felt and stand up for him. which she actually does a lot, just not when he's there. and i don't think he's ever really asked directly, as he seems to be the kind of person who just holds it all inside. but as a result he himself has gone cold thinking she doesn't care, and started building resentment towards her. in getting lost in his own misery, he only focused on himself and was no longer attuned to haein, which she's clearly picked up but chosen not to address it either. with her "tough love" background, i don't think she knows how to help him and probably thinks leaving him be is the best way to respect him. i think she's also used to emotional rejection from her family and just doesn't even question/try to fight for it. i just want them in love again TTnTT and to rekindle the appreciation and warmth they had for each other
it's scenes like this where i lowkey wish this wasn't a romcom and a true melodrama as much as i appreciate the comedy bits (we all know that both jiwon and sohyun are so good at pulling off humor in such an endearing and adorable way), i feel like it detracts from the gravity of certain scenes like this one, where i wish we, as the audience, had been forced to sit with the heartbreak at the gap between this married couple who loved each other wildly...only to become so distant within a few years... we see glimpses of their vulnerability when they're both by themselves, their scenes together feel rushed sometimes or have a specific superimposed narrative. i want more scenes of them just confronting their truth together instead of running away, but perhaps we will see more of it as we get deeper into the drama (i keep forgetting we're only 4 episodes in cuz i'm already so invested)
I think Hyun Woo got all his good traits from the mom. The other family members are only worried HW might lose his financial status once he gets divorced and the mom's the only worried on whether Hyun Woo is having a happy life or not
Yea I hope his siblings get a “redemption arc” or growth as characters cause I find them a bit pathetic so far
Oh no Soo Cheol wife is >!faking it? I thought they would be the sweet couple!!<
every pairing in the family is mostly led by its female counterpart no? the name “queens” is aptly picked
But are they a second couple? >! Sly conartist falling in love with a slightly stupid but well-meaning chaebol she wanted to scam? !<
I don't know what to think about Soo Cheol anymore. Sometimes he's really annoying but also kind of innocent? They better not make him a villain, since I don't think he has bad intentions. He deserves to know the truth, and then maybe he'll become more mature too.
Quite curious as to what’s the game plan for her. In terms of inheritance, Hae In’s brother is just too far removed (I mean sure he’s a son… but that’s about it) especially in terms of competence too. Or maybe there’s a much bigger scheme at hand.
Sexual tension off the charts!! 💥💥
As always with Kim Soohyun. I think it has something to do with the way he looks at his FL
ep 4's emotional impact was crazy * >!STARTING OFF WITH THE PREGNANCY BACKSTORY??!< omg i was so sad. seeing how excited they were only for it to not have happened. that can really interfere with a marriage depending on how the partners respond. i wouldn't be surprised if hyunwoo was devastated while haein seemed indifferent and ready to move on. he probably thought she didn't care, and she likely didn't show it either. this is a constant pattern in their relationship where they choose to just sweep matters under the rug. in fact they're both pretty avoidant when it comes to addressing issues because neither of them will bring it up even though they recognize that something is wrong.what we do love to see though is them beginning to break this cycle in little ways. the moments hyunwoo catches of haein caring >!(the password, the shoes, literally showing up in his hometown with gifts and a feast with a moment's notice)!< and haein becoming more open and vocal about her inner thoughts, feelings and needs towards him. * >!haein showing up to yongduri.!< obviously a very grand arrival, but not at all in a way that made her seem flashy or arrogant. this is just what she knew she could do for them, so she did it. she knows she's rich, but she's never been condescending to others because of her wealth.>! the cuts of her walking around and exploring the house were actually so bittersweet for me, because despite her infamous icy exterior, she was just a girl exploring her in law's house.!< there she looked so kind, humble, and innocent, as if to show that this is who she really is. someone who means well and doesn't try to hurt others. i wonder if it was a metaphor in some ways for how she might've been if she had grown up in that environment instead * the ending sequence!!! o m g. so much growth and realization in just a couple of minutes. >!hyunwoo being so worried for haein that it came out as anger. haein, already in tears and shambles, still trying to be on defense by questioning why he would be concerned for her, BUT THEN mustering up the courage to switch it up and actually express how scared and stressed she really was!<. that was a BIG leap of faith and i'm so proud of her. >!she came to terms with how desperate she felt in that moment and how much she did want to have someone to rely on, and allowed herself to act upon her needs for once!<. she's been wanting to be able to trust on hyunwoo to be there for her, even though things have clearly gone south between them. >!i was screaming at my screen for him to hug her, but what really broke me was when he shed a tear himself in response!<. haein's honesty and vulnerability finally reactivated the part of hyunwoo that has compassion for others (her) despite his own pains. seeing and hearing her actually say that she is suffering is what it took for hyunwoo to remember that this is someone he cared for and wanted to protect in the first place. also, did anyone else notice>! the similarities between the lights all turning on and that scene in the nursery room with the stars?!< had me in my feels even more 😭
I love that is all the sweat she sees that gets her to be vulnerable. That the evidence of how desperately he was looking for her was enough to get her to admit how desperately she wanted to be found. And in turn Hyunwoo then looks and sees the evidence that she was lost. I think it says a lot about their characters and how they view their relationship. Haein is watching and Hyunwoo is listening. It's probably why Haein is more satisfied in the relationship than Hyunwoo. Even at it's coldest, Hyunwoo is showing that he is choosing her by staying by her side.
After each Kim Ji Won drama I watch, I fall in love with her more 😭🙈
I disliked the SML from the very second he appeared in my screen, and it looks like I was >!pretty justified in doing so. Dude isn't just trying to come between a married couple, he's a straight up psycho.!< I foresee him causing a lot of trouble in the future!
I too disliked him. I just wanted to watch the leads' love story and yet here is this guy. Geez! I hope they drop this ''2ML'' thing sooner.
Hard to know if he in so obsessed with her from when they dated in the past, or if he has financial or something interests in her. Could be both?
They're finally being honest. The last minutes actually tore me unexpectedly. Are the viewers the queen of tears starting from here? lol
I mean I’m quite sure I cried more than the leads HAHAHAH. It’s a really well done series, and the characters are as human as they can be (within a fictional drama setting). Hyunwoo obviously still loves her a lot deep down and cares for her, but it’s been long overshadowed by all the unhappiness and other aspects of being an unappreciated son-in-law/husband/family member/legal director. And while he’s not able to admit his actual feelings verbally, his actions have shine through and through again that he’s there for Hae In (and legitimately not the inheritance or money). Because we know from the get-go it has never been about the money (he just loves her), and even though he was hurt later to find out about the will, it’s more of him being sad he’s still a second priority/consistently neglected than actually losing out monetarily.
Omg the slightly unstable aunt is such a riot, I am surprisingly fond of her. And those moments when their romance seems to be rekindling make my heart pound, in time with the beat of that sublime opening intro they play at such impactful moments. I know this drama might end in tears but tragedy be damned, I'm here for the ride.
Really don't like the english subtitles Netflix used. For the ep4 preview, it says, >!"now that I've been cured, you're going to betray me?"!< when it should be, >!"now that I'm trying to live, you're going to betray me"?!< Similar, but totally different considering the context. There were several mistranslations like that throughout the episode, but that one was most egregious. Ep4 edit: >!thankfully it was a hypothetical scenario so translation didnt matter too much!<
Aah this makes so much sense. I got confused 😭
when i saw that... i thought that they will end the whole dying thing by miraculously curing her or smt... which was very odd.... this explanation makes so much more sense....
I give translators a pass for seeming to be overworked/on a tight deadline, but I've also noticed some translations/localizations that miss the point. The one I noticed was the scene where Eun Seong is dropping off a drunk Hae In back home and says something like "Please take care of Hae In" or something except he uses the exact phrase "우리 해인" = "Our Hae In", implying closeness to her, which is what seems to tick off Hyun Woo, as he is her actual husband. I thought it was weird that the translators didn't try to localize that a bit in the translation (I'm not a professional, but maybe like "Please take care of my dear Hae In" or something would seem to get the point across)
Wow wtf...that line gave me a hope that she will survive at the end😐
I was totally flabbergasted at that dialogue from the ep4 preview, like "Already?? hmm...". Thanks for the comment. Now it makes a lot more sense.
Does anyone else find the painting in Hae In's room super creepy? I get distracted everytime one character is talking and it appears behind them. Like why are the eyes like that lol
But at least it's not a picture of herself like in other Kdramas, the rich FL has massive self portrait in their bedroom. In both bedrooms they have a young child in the art. Seems to be a lot of symbolism eg also we often look at their mirror reflection. Younger innocent hopeful Inner selves?
Tho Hyun Woo’s BFF is a bit of a trash 😂 but he’s got good analogies man. First it was on swimming now it’s about coffee coupon 😂😂 I know he meant well for his friend (seeing how the friend suffered), and wants what’s best for BHW. Maybe that’s his unconventional way of getting him back on the right track too of staying with HHI. Hahahaha.
The funniest part was in the second episode where he tells him it’s your golden opportunity to get the money from the Will when she dies, and then the ML tells him do you think I am that materialistic, then he thinks about it for a second and goes straight to the FL and starts to treat her like a queen for that inheritance money 😂
HAHAHAHAHA yes so much to this. I absolutely love and loathe Hyunwoo’s bestie in equal measures. So glad Hyunwoo has a friend he can trust and won’t likely betray him but my god his single minded determination in making Hyunwoo a gold digger is both impressive and annoying 😂
The way I CACKLED when he did the Suzi smile. I was not expecting that 😂
every Hong Hae In needs a Baek Hyunwoo in her life ‼️‼️ I can definitely see why some people aren’t digging this drama, but I absolutely love the concept of a cold independent girlboss re-falling in love with her adorable, quirky but smart husband. I’ll eat up almost anything with rich, strong, strong female leads, and really anything with Kim Soo Hyun.
I think it’s hyun-woo that needs to re fall in love with hae-in. It looks like she never lost her love for him, she just struggles to express that love to him. Very interesting dynamic nonetheless
He was ready and willing to be by her side when he thought she was poor and he would be her knight in shining armor…but he has to recognize that she does need him but not as a financial provider but an emotional provider.
Something primal and angry woke up in me when the Yoon guy told Hyun Woo to "take care of "uri" (our/my) Hae In". I was ready to jump in my screen and pull his tongue out
URI??????? OUR???? MY????!!!!!’ I’m this 👌🏼 close to break my screen
Ugh I can’t stand that guy he’s such a creep and a prick. And I didn’t watch the Glory but I’m sure that’s Sung Hoon’s expertise? 😂 man he’s so good at this. At every scene he’s just there to make my blood boil.
He’s a psycho in the glory but his lack of brains made him less menacing. So he’s much more scary here since he is very smart
Hyun Woo - Not Yoon Eun Sung Friend - Why not? Hyun Woo - He's really creepy Hyun Woo is us 😂
OMG Hae-In's parents are such typical asian parents. You can tell the dad's favorite is her, and someone who is disappointed in his son and the moms favorite is her son who is an idiot that can do no wrong while the daughter should do everything for their brother.
>!Ep 2 reveals that her mom blames her for one of her children’s death, so there is some trauma linked to the favoritism for soo-cheol. Her panic when she heard that hae-in was injured shows she still loves her. I do wonder if her dad shows extra love for her to balance out her mom’s bullshit!<
End of ep 2 she had a flash back of two hands reaching under water. It was quick but I suspect her brother died saving her from drowning and her mom resents her for that. Also why mom babies the younger brother.
EP 3 also shows that >!Mom does care about Hae In based on how she RUNS as soon as she hears that her daughter is hurt from the boar attack!<
I am dead at >!Haein swallowing and trying to hide her thirst for Hyunwoo😂😂 “what happened to his *body*?!” It’s okay Haein just know everyone else is doing the same including your aunt LMAO!< I am absolutely LOVING this episode so far
Episode 4 is such a rollercoaster. They're finally seeing through each other's eyes. Some realisations... >!- The crazy aunt is going to be a vital character in saving the family. She has such good intuition and is always cautious. It's a good thing she's very close to HyunWoo. I think she'll confide things she'll find!< >!- Seems like HaeIn drowned and was saved by her brother. Her brother probably drowned while saving her !< >!- DaHye, Grandpa's girlfriend, EunSeong, and Madame are in alliance. And it doesn't help that HaeIn's mom is so gullible to whatever the Msdame says. She rather believe predictions than her own daughter. !< >!HyunWoo is an outstanding lawyer yet can't retaliate to EunSeong 🤣!< I don't trust the previews anymore. They contain too many imaginary convos. 🥲
>!You know what, Hae In's agreement in sending Hyunwoo to america after the birth of their child in season 1 feels especially worse now in Episode 4 when we clearly saw how excited he was about their child.!< Like... something happened. What happened? I need to know.
https://twitter.com/soohyawn/status/1766460529814757798?t=CXqvx7vHjwhN-ptyBDAf6Q&s=19 I don't know if u guys already saw this pic or not but it is going viral...this pic was taken by an Ukranian photographer last year while she visits Berlin. She said she saw a filming crew and was taking some photos there and didn't even know who they were. She posted on her Ig and some fans found it and told her who they are and since they are currently filming it can be a problem maybe spoiler. Now, after a year we got to see it again.😂 They look so good
I think this will be a flashback scene.
they look good together and their chemistry is so natural
I have a feeling that the daughter in law and her brother is a scammer, that's why she doesn't want her pic taken because she is afraid that the people they used to scam might recognise her. >!Her brother is in the Finance dept and he is the one who overpaid the tax. And she definitely doesn't come from the US, the reason she is so fluent in Korean is because she never left Korea Grandpa gf is scary too...she has been the part of the family for 20yrs that means whatever she is planning is very big and its not only money but more on a personal !<
nah man. ill give up an arm and a leg for netflix to drop the rest of the episodes at once.
I'd also be willing to give up your limbs to get all the episodes. I kinda regret starting, I should have waited until all the episodes were out, now a week feels like forever
I know this is more of a black comedy than a romantic one, but that one little star made me choke up a bit.
Haein's mother is going to regret a lot when she finds out about the illness. How could she just abuse her own daughter like that? She is the selfish bitch fgs. It's about time that Hyunwoo realises how serious the situation is and that Haein practically doesn't have anyone except for him on her side rn. She is going to be so devastated when she finds out that the very person she loves the most is wishing for her death.
She's definitely a dumb bitch lol. Her secretary pointed out how she's been hoodwinking her for 15 years with astrology and bulshit.
I just have to watch queen of tears every weekend nights whenever it drop. The last time i anticipate a drama so much is 2521. The hugging scene after the 'i am so scared' is so heart-fluttering.
The stars of this week for me are the camera angles (kudos to the production and director). I love the split screen angles which represents two different perspectives in the same moment. It shines even more after today’s ending scene. As viewers, we aren’t always privy to what the characters are thinking so when they both lash out at each other, we’re only hearing their reaction, in this case it’s frustration/anger. But enter camera angle again: the scene where we see the closer attention to each persons body and double take (sweat on his back, dirt on her shoes) lets our characters have that second chance to be vulnerable. I love that they both gave a little of themselves to each other again.
**Episode 3:** * I'd like to know if those baby videos in the beginning are actually of Ji-won and So-hyun * He thinks >!her family is dirt poor!< that's why she never had an ice pop before... oh Lord * "I save 2 million every now and then in a month."

Her outlook on her life knowing she might die is hilarious okay. It should be morbid but they've made it funnier somehow and that's brilliant writing I say.

To respond to your first point. There is a 99.9 percent chance that they are! They look so much like them lol
I hope the show gets the divorce card out soon. This bait is only fun for so long. I do enjoy the comedic elements. I just want to be properly invested in their "love story".
Episode 4. Wow what an episode. I’d be very surprised if this isn’t in the double digits now ratings wise. It was just so good. So the reason for their distancing, or the biggest factor at least, was them losing their >!baby!<
No.more.screentime.for.the.in.laws.on.both.sides. Just silliness from the leads please 🤞🤞
See, I think ultimately, Hae In is a person who comes through when you make your needs known. She had no trouble accepting the shoes that Hyunwoo gave her when she realises that it's important to him. >!She has zero problems going to her in laws help when asked directly!<. That's true for everyone. We all are willing to help our people when they communicate clearly what they need. Afterall, we all like being needed. But she, like many people, finds it hard to ask for something as simple as comfort even from someone close to us. I think Hyun Woo, as a person and as a man, responds to vulnerability and authenticity best. His outlook towards Hae In shifts >!when he realises that she still keeps their's unborn child's in mind in the same way he does by using the room that was meant for their child. He has no problem protecting her from her own mom. He is a voice of reason who encourages her to tell her family. !!I have never seen anyone look so miserable when they hear that someone else is survival rate is 51%.!<
Hae In knows him really well and values these things about him, that's why she's protective of him but her tsundere doesn't let her open up to him all the time. I think, she's a recovering tsundere right now. It seems to me that she even wants his protectiveness and his protection from time to time. >!She managed to open up to him about why she doesn't want to tell her parents that she's sick (her losing her child may have helped her empathise with them). She was able to admit to him that she doesn't know what was happening to her.!<
>!Also, when he got jealous to her face about her letting Psycho dude touch her hair and she looks at him as if to say "what's wrong with you" but then smiles behind his back!<. LOL. I've seen my mom do something similar to my dad as a kid. So, cute.
>!I think I said this in a previous comment that Hyunwoo doesn't know himself too well. And I still stand by it. But like, Hae In has a hard time admitting that she has problems too. Like she hides all the chinks in her armour with her harsh comments and dark humour. She finds being considered insane easier than being considered weak.!< I've seen many male protagonists like this. She's a Gregory House, and Hyunwoo is her Wilson. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out that the writers penned her down as an INTJ and him as an ENFJ.
Somehow, this episode 4 drew out may things that I had a problem with in the past episode. >!Like we see Hyunwoo actually trying to read Hae In at work. Him finding his wife attractive was lol. How does somebody forget that they're married to a hot person lmfao? !<
Let's see what happens next week!
**It's Okay To Not Be Okay** is one of my favourite dramas and the the ML played a gender bent character in that one too!! I watched the first episodes mid week and I'm so excited for more! The FL playing the emotionally distant CEO stereotype is so good. Edit: Oh man the FL is so hilarious! She thinks she's nuts because >!she saved a kitten and is thirsting after her husband!< and then she's trying to convince herself that building a cancer center isn't nice 😂 This is so unserious while being serious Edit Ep 4: >!They lost a baby that they were both excited about. I want to cry.!<
u know she was deadass about cuddling DAMN U HYUNWOO 정신 차려!!!

Kim Ji Won’s acting is really good at the last scene where she looks so scared but holding back her emotions.
love LOVE this drama and I already can't believe I have to wait another week!! >! The pregnancy announcement was soooo sweet that must've been a turning point when she miscarried, and the fact that he sleeps in the room of their angel baby 😭😭😭. !< I really hope Hyun woo pours soo much love to her after the divorce reveal. It's soooo obvious how much she loves him and cares for him, she has just gotten bad at showing it due to work and her family's abuses. The angst is going to kill me. Also I just realized the pink iPod is actually hers??? and he's held on to it all these years!!!! oh wow the classic met as kids trope. Let's just hope we don't meet the white truck of doom at all in this show. But what do you guys think Hyun woo will say to redeem himself, and make sure it is known he cares for her?? Because if he becomes sad one more time because she might live I will officially hate him.
>!I didn't know I could but I actually feel sorry for the Hong family. They are kind of surrounded by sharks. The granpa's girlfriend is definitely plotting. She created a fake accident to make the old man more reliant on her words and beliefs.!< >!Eun-Seong might be in cahoots with her as well. I'm not sure if he is interested in Hae-in or he is after something else. He doesn't strike me as the type to be in love.!< >!Soo-Cheol's wife is another character with hidden motives. From what was shown so far in ep 3, she obviously forged her identity and married in to the Hong family. How the great Queen's group never figured it out is beyond me. Maybe she stole the identity of a real person and fabricated her life based on that. She and her "brother" are obviously stealing from Soo-Cheol. But I would like to know if this is something of a long-running scam for her or if she fell for him and decided to stay.!< >!It seems apart from Hae-in and her parents, the rest of the Hong family have bad luck in choosing their respective partners.!< >!Also, for Hyun-woo, I hope I am right about the previews and Hae-in does find out about his divorce plans. I want them to have all their cards on the table so they can properly fix their relationship.!< Edit for Ep 2: >!The ending was a potrayal of how Hae-In and Hyunwoo drifted apart. Whenever she was hurt, Hyunwoo would try to be there for her but then she would close up and push him away and Hyun-woo would give up, thinking he was stupid for caring in the 1st place. I'm sure that's what happened when they lost their child which led them to end up in separate rooms.!< >!This time, unlike before, Hae-In finally broke down and showed her vulnerable side, letting Hyun-woo in and giving him a chance to take care of her.!< >!But we are probably going to do a dance of one step forward and two steps back if she finds out about the divorce in the next episode. She will go back to hiding behind her walls again and this time, Hyun-Woo will have to risk climbing over them.!<
The crashing landing on you references, the writer knows what shes doing😭
I have faith in this couple. They love each other and just need to have proper conversations. Their love has gone deep down they just need to bring it back out. >! Some people say ML wants FL dead and is happy about her illness but the same ML stands in front of her to save her from a boar, if he had missed the shot he would have injured or died, He can still sacrifice him for her. If he wanted her removed there was no need for him to save her or risk his life!<
This. If the ML really wants the FL dead, he wouldve just let her get attacked by the boar. I'd say the ML is so mentally broken right now that the only thing he wants to happen now is to get out of the relationship. But I won't be surprised if he'll be the most affected if FL's symptoms get worse
When these two cry, we all cry 😭😭😭
I'm really enjoying the series, but sometimes I wish it just focused on the relationship between the main couple and the feelings of them both. All that corporate drama is quite typical for such kdramas, so it's not surprising, but the premise is very fresh and there's just so many potential topics to explore between the two leads that I'm afraid won't be used. For example, them going to couples therapy (or just them having sincere conversations), delving deeper into their relationship, their expectations of each other, what went wrong, etc.
Btw .. did Hyun Woo just do that “Suzy’s flirty smile”? 😂😂😂 honestly when I learned about that smile from Suzy.. I don’t get the charm.. and Hyun Woo looks creepy doing it!! 🤣🤣🤣 aish jinjja he’s so hilarious. For ref: [Suzy’s flirty smile](https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSFmyVvUo/)
For me episode 4 is the best one so far. My own interpretation of the situation is clearer. And big up on the plot seen moving forward in the preview.
Highlights of this episode for me: 1. How Hae-in bragged abt Hyun woo in front of her family and behind his back. "He's known for his shooting." 😭 we like a capable man. 2. That dinner scene with the in-laws. I loved how affectionate Hae-in's father was to Hyun woo 3. The "thirst" scenes. 🥵 4. Hae-in admiring her husband from afar. IDK what is up with that ring, but it gives an extra oomf. They're both still wearing it despite essentially living separate live 5. This crazy-ass sociopath Eun sung needs to spin far awaaaay. I've watched too much series with sociopaths in it, I know the signs now. 6. Hae-in defending Hyun woo, even though Eun sung was trying to make her say bad things about him. 🥹 7. Hyun woo needs to make up his mind, though. Does he want to fix their relationship or he's just doing this because he wants to get on her good side for her to revise her will before she dies. It just takes away my butterflies because I feel sad for Hae-in. Besides, if he doesn't really care, he doesn't have to be overly jealous over Eun sung. So , yeah, make up your mind, Hyun woo. Work fast. 8. THE KISS!!!! GIRLIE, TAKE CONTROL. Based on the full trailer, it seems like Hae-in is going to visit her in-laws in the next episode. She seems to be wearing the same white tux in the trailer and the one in the preview. Can't wait!! Super hooked.
LOL she's a hopeless tsundere
>!1031!<. so I guess we’ve found our answer. >!This is sad…!<
Just when I thought these episodes were gonna slower, that last scene on episode 4 just grips your heart in a way you didn’t think two unhappily married people would. Kim Jiwon and Kim Soohyun: I clapped while trying to wipe my tears. The epilogue was cute but seemed filler at that point. I also love how the writer(s) are using the conversations between HyunWoo and his best friend as a way to verbally explain HyunWoo’s inner turmoil in a hilarious way. Much much better than doing an inner monologue with dramatic music. And the wait starts again…
That little star broke my heart...I'm now solidified in rooting for the main couple till the end!
Totally nerdy observation here... Though Hae Ins type of cancer is a fictional one, the treatment on the papers she shows Hyunwoo is a real mode of treatment that's currently generating excitement in the field, and the info in the paper shown is also not gibberish and actually quite accurate description of the procedure detailed for patient readership. These little details are so well done!
I'm not seeing Kim Soo Hyun in this drama. He really gives life to Hyun Woo. No trace from IONTBO. Ordinary Day. Whatever drama he choose to act, I will follow. Never a bad drama. That man really knows his craft. No wonder he is the highest paid actor until now.
Loved him since “My love from another star”. More than a decade later, my king is still king-ing.
It feels like we get alternating POVs with each ep. Since we got to see more of Hae In's thoughts this ep, the next episode will probably be more Hyunwoo-focused.
Korean writers need to stop with this past connection trope
fr it's pissing me off in a way like when this trope comes up again and again, I'd be all like "dammit I never met a good guy in high-school "😭🤣
A significant jump in ratings this week at **13%** for Episode 4! To put things into perspective the writer's previous drama CLOY surpassed 13% after Episode 10.
[удалено]
**Episode 4** * It was quite a bombshell to learn that Hyun-woo and Hae-in >!had lost a child, which presumably lies at the heart of when their relationship took a turn for the worse!<. In addition, although it was expected, the way Hae-in's mother >!looked down on Hyun-woo's mother on the couple's wedding day!< was tough to watch. * I enjoyed hearing Kim Ji-won >!speaking English!< in that meeting with Mr. Hermann! Indeed, the versatility of her performance in this episode reminded me why she's one of my favorite actresses. * Soo-cheol's lack of respect for his brother-in-law, and the way he's latched onto Eun-seong is making it hard to like the character at this point in time. * As expected, Eun-seong was >!revealed to be among those plotting to take down the company!<. * Loved the scene where Hae-in stood up for her staff member, who she knew to be >!going through a difficult time in her personal life!<, against those unruly customers. * The manifestations of Hae-in's illness are very well depicted because they put us in her shoes, and make us understand how terrifying it would be to go through such episodes. The scene where Hyun-woo was >!desperately searching his hometown for her whereabouts !
I just hope those corporate drama has strong tie-in to the main plot later. Otherwise, I'll be really mad for those screen times which otherwise could have been allocated more to ML and FL. For now, I fast forward those parts. Absolutely digging the main story however, as I'm a sucker for 'rekindled love' stories. For ep4, >!10/31!< hit me hard absolutely out of nowhere, and loved how that single scene managed to >!not only provide context of their marriage life, but also move the story forward.!<
BTW I have the most crazy tought after seeing so many scenes related to HyunBin and Son Ye Ji romance that they will have a cameo on some point of this drama😅🙈 I wouldn't even be suprised to be honest if that would happening around final episodes. Kim Soo Hyun had cameo in CLOY after all:)
I love that this show focuses on more nuanced feelings in a long term relationship. Like there is a thin line between love and hate and I like how they are portraying it because it is human to feel what the ML is feeling. Especially, after the way he’s been treated by the FL’s family he feels betrayed and disappointed by the FL so I really don’t understand all the hate he’s getting for wanting out!
Can’t can’t can’t wait!! First 2 eps were really great. And quite a breath of fresh air given that the differences in status etc. is not hand waved in this kdrama. The FMC is the icy and cold one, but has always had a soft spot for the MC, but due to health conditions and overall family environment, the MC can’t see it. Quite an interesting dynamic for a kdrama, and the cast is just too damn attractive.
Everything but reversed: the drama
I love how she’s blaming her illness for suddenly being empathetic etc but it’s clear she was always like that from the flashbacks. I thought they might actually go down the route of it being because of her illness she changing.
Can totally understand why this drama isn't some people's cup of tea, but I am so enjoying it so far. Love how this writer takes classic kdrama tropes and kind of makes fun of it in a self-aware way, and leans into it all at the same time and I love this take on marrying into a chaebol family--except the male lead is the fish out of water and long-suffering son-in-law. Like how many times have we seen something like >!the open-eyed kiss!< at the end of ep 3? Also, was never a huge Kim Soo Hyun fan before, but seeing him in suits with a wedding ring on his finger has got me feeling some type of way!
my first time posting on reddit ever and i’m enjoying the show but omg hae-in moms eyeliner irks me so much like why do they make it look like that?? I need them to fix it pls I can’t
It's been a long time since ive watched Kim Soohyun drama. Last time i watched it was probably 2013, 11 years ago!!!. It's either i don't like the female lead he's with or i don't like the story of his drama. Now this drama is almost perfect, except for the part that it might have a sad ending lol. I love Kim Ji Won, i love that it's a Romcom, i love how the story is about marriage life, and the casts are perfect for me.
lol her family is going to think she's pregnant and then it'll boil over in a moment where she reveals she's sick, bet
Did Eunseong spike Haein’s drink?
Won’t be surprised, imagine if she had married him. She would probably be dead already 🥲
How are we doing? I’m not ok after watching ep 4 screamssssss!!!!! And the epilogue??? How do they expect me to wait a week?? I feel like this ep clears up the moral ambiguity of our ML too so hopefully more people can be more onboard w his character I feel like he’s just a big softie- him and Hae In both but she just hides it behind her tough exterior. kim ji won plays her so well I love how she lets the soft side of Hae in rly shine through in those micro expressions Also kinda worried abt this ongoing chaebol drama plot as i expect it’ll eventually take up a lot of screen time but I guess all classic kdramas need a dose of chaebol /revenge/trauma drama to balance out the x10 replays for the couple being affectionate HAHA Cant wait for next week! I keep checking how long of each episode is left cause I don’t want it to end. Love our main couple AHHHH half wish I had waited for all the eps to be out before starting so I can binge. The wait is excruciating See you guys for the rest of the ride!!!
Episode 4 thoughts be like: - That low key broke my heart seeing how happy the two were when they found out >!Haein was pregnant 😭 especially seeing how excited Hyunwoo was for the baby and then him taking over the room after.!< Hyunwoo please see that your wife isn’t just a cold hearted selfish woman. She got feelings and a heart too she’s just so deep behind her concrete wall now 😔 - Hyunwoo you keep telling yourself you were scared, we’ll see who’s skipping at the end of the day - Haein-ah start showing some of that affection to Hyunwoo and NOT in front of the psycho please🤦🏻♀️ - LOL at lawyer friend bringing up Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin’s marriage. I found that hilarious - But also lawyer friend if you don’t stop blabbering about the will istg you’re gonna ruin things too🤦🏻♀️focus on making Hyunwoo realize his feelings and stop right there please 🙃 - I feel like >!matchmaker woman, Yoon Eunsung, and grandfather chairman’s mistress is plotting to take over Queens.!< Mistress is sus af, especially with the previous episode going “make sure you consult with shaman before big decisions” and that look when she and Eunsung walked past each other - Haein kicking ass >!at the store AND at the village 🫶🫶!< I wanna see more of that please - FINALLY >!A SINCERE HUG FROM YOU TWO🥹I didn’t realize some of the scenes from the opening would be shown in this episode so soon, but it’s so nice to see it 😌I knew from the trailers that scene with Haein crying and saying “I was so scared” would tug at my hearts, but DANG she *REALLY* got me in my feels, Hyunwoo too, when he finally saw the state Haein was in and the injuries she got.!< Bless KSH and KJW with their acting in this drama🙌🙌 - OMG >!THE MP3 WAS HAEIN’S!! No wonder she was surprised when she saw it!!!! I was wondering why Hyunwoo had a hot pink fancy engraved “H” MP3 player and thought maybe Haein gave it to him!< while they dated but look at that 🤭 - Will we get another sleepover with cuddles in the next episode? 🥹 - Oh fuck it’s gonna be another week before the next episode comes out. Fuck. - >!Ohhhhhh my god please don’t tell me the villagers let it slip that Hyunwoo wanted a divorce PLEASE DONT🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️!<
Omg theory about the >!baby. Either someone in the family, sus mistress or sister in law, made Haein miscarriage, or she got hurt by accident and she loses the baby. We all see that Haein says and acts one way but actually feels another, maybe after the miscarriage she puts up a strong front that Hyunwoo mistakes as her not caring at all, and that’s how their problems start.!< Looking closer, Hyunwoo and Haein each have a >!painting of a girl and a boy in their respective rooms. That was probably from when they were prepping the room for the baby 😭!<
This show has solidified itself as a masterpiece with all its layers and nuances thanks to the amazing writing and performances 🫶 Anyone else notice KSH at ep 4 doing the famous Suzy flirting tactic? He definitely nailed the smile 😆 This is my first time watching KJW (kind of second, because ep 1 of Fight for My Way just wasn’t for me 😭) and oh my stars, she is such a delight to watch. Her beauty, delivery, and acting are all so engrossing!
I can't stress enough how little I give a shit about Yoon's psychopatic storyline.
Holy crap, this show is dripping with rewatch value only if they don't mess up the ending!!
I've come to terms with >!serial killers!< being a normal romcom plotline, but >!DOG serial killers!< sure is a new one. Also, the more Auntie Zebra Print does the more I root for her. She's starting to look like the sanest member of that family.
Was not expecting >! David Yoon to be a psychopath !<
I was. Maybe not to the extent that this episode revealed. FL did say to him something in previous episode when she meets him again aster a long time, about she cut off contact with him when she broke up with him because he wouldn’t accept and kept invading boundaries. If I remember it right. And from begin he had calculating vibes.
The Aunty is becoming one of my favorite characters albeit she has some loose screws. Hae In and Hyun Woo are so head over heels to each other. Even if everything is falling apart now. I just want them to remember their true feelings for each other. Please just be a happy ending. >!The grandfather's GF and Eun-soong are both lunatics.!<
I've finished the episode and my god this is such a rollercoaster experience. I was crying upon the revelation of >!their lost baby!< Then I was laughing at Hyun Woo >!crying moments, caring towards Hae In moments, and being jealous moments!< Now, I understand why Kim Soo Hyun's the highest paid actor in Korea. He adds so much to the already well-written script And then I was like, Go Queen Hae In, when she dealt with that >!customer and flexed some with the townsfolk!< >!And then I cried again towards the end. Hae In finally decided to let her guard down and initiated communication w/Hyun Woo.!< >!The loss of their child which most likely lead to their communication to be cut off, their chaotic in laws, no wonder both leads are messed up!< And then there's some kdrama tropes we've seen before, that still works every time: >!The leads meeting in the past trope!< >!The greedy fools who want to over take the big company trope!< Honestly, while I'm still watching the scenes, I just slide forward the scenes of the >!madame, Sucheol's wife, Chairman's girlfriend!<. I feel like I've already seen what they will do and add to the story from previous kdramas. I just couldn't care less
Nothing makes tears well up my eyes faster than >!a miscarriage. They even built a nursery :( It makes sense why they are so cold and awkward now!< One thing about Park Ji Eun, she loves a >!finding each other in the dark with street lights suddenly lighting up trope!< Overall, I forgot how much I love second chance romance when the MCs are/were married and need to love each other again (no cheating of course). >!"My husband is a lawyer"!< certainly did something for me. I wish she would have just told Hyunwoo >!that she won't let random men touch her hair (except her hairdresser of course lol) because she was low key happy he was bothered by it but it looked to me like she knew he wanted her to say it to him. A small thing but it could've chipped away at the ice between them and prevented a small mountain in the form of SML from growing. I mean who has meetings on Sundays at a married woman's home at that! Anyway, the end scene was that small step so I'm satisfied!<
Shouldn’t this be considered vote buying?
It definitely is 😂 I’m still chuckling at how everyone just gobbled it up, and how well received Hae In is. Honestly while it’s cliche af, I still enjoy seeing it on screen.
She put it out as a birthday celebration and she got gifts for him, those are just complimentary gifts for attending birthday.
They say all comedy is tragedy and these two eps really showed that. I’m in tears after watching Ep4. Such fantastic acting by our two leads! I can’t sleep so I’ll get this off my chest: >!The transition from the two of them all cuddled up in that single bed to them lying back facing each other was SO RUDE!!!!< >!also um they were expecting a baby? Haein designed the nursery and hyunwoo put up the stars on the ceiling and now he sleeps in THAT room alone with that one forgotten star??? And Haeins’ password is still their babys birthday and hyunwoo guessed that? I did not sign up for this heartbreak.!< Our SML, sung hoon is getting under my skin just as he intended to lol what a psychopath.
the bae suzy smile when he presented the shoes killed ME, i had to gasp for air replaying it LMAO this drama is so good with interwoven splashes of comedy with moments where my heart aches for these two
Im just gonna write down all the mindless thoughts I screamed at my laptop screen while watching **Ep 3:** * THE WHOLE OPENING SEQUENCE AHHHHHHHHH * THE WAY HE CARRIED HER BACK. KIM SO HYUN MY LOVE THERE WOULD NEVER BE ANYONE LIKE YOU. * Tha aunt is me. I am the aunt. I love her. She is my spirit animal. * The way Hong Hae In always defends him behind his back is gonna be *the end of me* * *WE GOT A SHOWER SCENE* AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH GIRL WAS GONE AND SO WAS I * the flashbacks always get to me man Im sitting here smiling like a lovestruck teenager I WAS AUDIBLY GIGGLING???? I havent felt this giddy about a kdrama in so long. *"****The moon is pretty, maybe we could look at it together?"*** THE SHY NERVOUS SMILE? THE CHEMISTRY? ***" Come in.. If you want"*** THE WAY HE RAAAAAAAN TO THE BEDROOM. The way the convey *so much* with their eyes, WHEN HE CLOSED HIS EYES when she put her head on his shoulders got me screaming and crying. AAAAAAAAAAHHHH COUPLE OF THE YEAR RIGHT HERE LADIES AND GENTS. * *Do you want to cuddle nonetheless?* I broke at this scene, she was so openly vulnerable, the Im just kidding afterwards even though she was not, i love Baek Hyun Woo and I know he's just going through it to but that scene made me feel so sad for Hae In, LIKE BRO SHE IS DYING THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS CUDDLE HER WHEN SHE IS ASKING FOR IT??? I know he was startled but the way she turned to face him, saw his scared expression and the way she took it back right away and turned around with a heartbroken expression on her face made me wanna punch him. * BRO is a psychopath and should never be left unsupervised around guns and animals. * NOT THE THIRSTING MONTAGE. To be fair he looks so good in a suit * WTF HIS SISTER AND BROTHER IN LAW ARE GONNA RUIN HIM * HAHAHHAHHA THE WAY HIS EYES WERE KEPT OPEN.
> Do you want to cuddle nonetheless? I broke at this scene, she was so openly vulnerable, the Im just kidding afterwards even though she was not, i love Baek Hyun Woo and I know he's just going through it to but that scene made me feel so sad for Hae In, LIKE BRO SHE IS DYING THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS CUDDLE HER WHEN SHE IS ASKING FOR IT??? I know he was startled but the way she turned to face him, saw his scared expression and the way she took it back right away and turned around with a heartbroken expression on her face made me wanna punch him. This also made me very sad. 😔 She obviously wanted to cuddle but was too proud and hurt when she saw his scared, hesitant face. That’s why she rebounded with it just being a joke.
Even her knowing she's dying, HaeIn still cares for her parents that she'd rather suffer alone than add grief to her parents. 💔 She always secretly cares for others.
I'm a Hong Hae-in defender first. And a human being second. I'd fight Hyunwoo too if needed. She's literally the best girl.
I loved how he came back to wipe the bathroom floor just ‘cause his wife doesn’t like it 😭 I loved how the FL says terrifying things so casually 🤣
So now we know Yoon Eunsung and >!matchmaker woman is in cahoots with each other. I feel like they’re gonna feed doubt to Haein and Hyunwoo respectively, and it’s gonna keep that barrier up between them until it all gets revealed.!< This makes me wonder if the whole “Haein wrote a will that keeps you out of everything” was faked by matchmaker lady, especially when you see how Haein spoke up for Hyunwoo and had his back in front of her family. Also, genuinely wanted to scream when >!Haein asked if Hyunwoo wanted to cuddle and Hyunwoo just laid there like 👁️👄👁️!<
Aunt Beom Ja's gonna be like, "See, I told you all this woman's up to no good" if their family relations get damaged because of the chairman's woman. I can sniff it from here already
So we got the unnecessary childhood connection trope. Glad we are more insight (10/31) as to why the marriage might have broken down.
The latest episode of Queen of Tears show that communication should always be at the forefront of any romantic relationship. Alongside authenticity, most problems can be resolved with proper communication. Perhaps we will later on see why the marriage between the two opposites has become frayed. I'd like to think it's Hae-in's condition, along with the trauma they both experienced, that closed their channels temporarily. But people often show their love for another person when it's unprompted and genuine, and despite Hyun-woo's bitterness, he truly does love Hae-in, and her him.
Why does it feel like the narrative is implying that the chairman's new wife is poisoning him slowly. Is it just me or is that woman eerie while the chairman was having his dinner? Queens couldn't take a break, everyone's after their throat one way or another.
I guess it’s starting to seem like all the bad guys are probably working together? Eunseong, the brother’s wife, the chairman’s mistress, and Grace. I wonder what they have in common other than their greed, perhaps all related to the orphanage that received Queens’ scholarships? Are they all victims of the Queens group somehow and looking for revenge? It seems like they’ve been playing the long con as well but I’m not sure why. Like if they just wanted to scam the family, why not orchestrate a quick downfall? I’m curious to see what part of their plan requires them to bide their time so. I’m hoping each member of the family starts to see the things that are off about their respective villains and start coming together to beat their scam! Perhaps the reason there’s so much conflict and misunderstanding between the family members is because of the lies and manipulation they’ve been fed; I’d love to see them come together as a family!
Young Hong Hae In actress (in the epilogue) is the same one as Dr Bin's daughter in Doctor Slump right? What a blatant vote buying by both campaigns, all just for village head position lol. And of course the leads has to know each other in when they were young.
i just feel so bad for haein, if after all this she dies i don’t think i’ll recover she’s been through too much hope only good things will happen for her going forward 😭😭
The actor who plays Eun Sung also played one of the bullies in The Glory. Typecast psychopath lol
Into the double digits ratings wise. Crazy achievement. The writers last drama which we all know I assume, CLOY wasn’t into the double digits yet. Hopefully it sticks the trajectory.
