Episode 11 Queen of Tears BaekHong recap

Scene: Gwaenchana? Saranghae…

“This can’t happen, I haven’t told you yet…

That it’s okay, that I never resent you. I haven’t thanked you for being by my side all these years despite all the harsh words I uttered that I didn’t mean. I love you. You were the reason I wanted to live even more.

I thought I had more time…

I haven’t apologised to everyone yet… I’m sorry, I’m sorry for everything...”

Does she know how many people cried when she had this monologue? I had to pause this episode and bawl my eyes out when I saw Hyun Woo break down crying while watching Hae In enter the emergency ward. And how was it possible for a man to cry so beautifully like Kim Soo Hyun? I’m impressed again and again every time I see those eyes accumulating tears before it slowly flows down his cheek.

First, her confession; she did not just said that she loves him, she said that she loves him from the very first time they met until now. Second, she apologised and I think it was the first time Hae In ever apologised to Hyun Woo. We have been focusing on Hyun Woo’s betrayal to her that at certain point we forgot that Hyun Woo had his reason for the divorce. We were disappointed and angry at his behaviour after Hae In told him that she only had 3 months to leave, but without considering that he has a right to want a divorce. She had never apologised to him for all those years she left him alone with her family, for saying the harsh words that she didn’t mean. She admits that she had a feeling about him wanting to file for a divorce; she is smart of course she would have a hunch about it. Hyun Woo is a bit dumbfounded after hearing her confession. He knew his wife more than anyone in this world, and she is acting weird. There is a reason for her sudden emotional confession and he doesn’t like to hear it. He was slightly angry at her for having the thought of dying, because he is not ready for it and he won’t let her succumbs to her illness. He is making sure that she knows what will happen to him if she dies, he will give up on his life. He wouldn’t hear anything that involves her dying and he wouldn’t let her die.

Scene: Honey dripping eyes by Mr. Baek Hyun Woo

Hae In is definitely taking the opportunity to make Hyun Woo being exceptionally a dotted husband; honey dripping eyes and holding her close while walking together and also having the satisfaction of doing it in front of YES. Talking about that shibalsaekki, while Hyun Woo and Hae In’s family were worrying about her and losing sleep because of Hae In, that shibalsaekki didn’t even care and only focusing to handle the aftermath of Hae In’s statement. It doesn’t seem like he even worried for her, his words means nothing and had no sincerity. It’s like discussing weather for him. How can he said that he loves her when nothing he did was ever based off love. All he wanted was Hae In and not her love, he just loves the idea of having Hae In to himself.

While Hyun Woo and Hae In were discussing their next step to take back the Queens Group, Hae In was shocked to find out that Queens employees are helping them to save the company. But Hyun Woo told her that the employees are doing it for the company, because they love their company and don’t want to see it crumble at the hands of MSH and YES. The people’s leader, Baek Hyun Woo everyone! We have seen how ruthless Hae In and her family handled their business but they weren’t able to see the foundation of their company; the employees. Hyun Woo is showing her that his method works without having to do things the same way as what her grandfather had taught her, and she saw it from his point of view now. She also got her answer as to why he is doing all of these and still stay with the Queens Group, just like the other employees, he is doing it for the sake of their company but it’s not because he loves the company; it was because he knew how much she loves this company (and he loves her).

Scene: Broken hair dryer

I liked this scene because Hae In is taking the initiative and actively seeking Hyun Woo to help her do mundane things without beating around the bush. She asks for his help to dry her hair because she couldn’t figure out the correct way to handle the broken hair dryer. It’s like they went back to their office romance era where Hyun Woo is helping her to fix the photocopier. Hyun Woo is ecstatic when she compliments him for his work and when she said that he can do it every day for her as a promise that he will be by her side just to dry her hair as an excuse. The atmosphere turns gloomy when Hae In shares about her new symptom to Hyun Woo; on top of her short term memory loss, she also has some sort of prosopagnosia where she failed to recognise face for a few seconds. She doesn’t want him to be by her side when her conditions worsen. It’s like she has prepared herself to expect the worst; dying. She knew the 3 months that the doctor gave her is almost over and her WBC count is only increasing slowly. On top of that, there is no guarantee that the lab in Germany will be able to cure her from the illness. Hyun Woo also knew that they were out of options, so it left him speechless and unable to promise her anything.

Scene: Hae In-ah!!!

The worst of the worse has come. She failed to recognise Hyun Woo, she mistakenly took shibalsaekki YES as Baek Hyun Woo (the love of her life). She wasn’t just unable to recognise faces, she actually has a problem with her perception overall. Hyun Woo and YES wear different clothes and cars, she failed to recognise that. It was probably because she cannot differentiate the details because this is the first time she ever experienced it alone and she didn’t expect it.

I know I’m just repeating the same thing that everyone already agreed; Kim Soo Hyun acting just bone-chilling, nerve-wracking and giving us goosebumps. The very slightly different gaze of fake Hyun Woo and his voice tone was especially more apparent during the chasing car scene with the real Hyun Woo. The lack of expression and cold expression was delicately crafted so that the viewers would slowly realise that this is fake Hyun Woo.

The moment when Hae In realised that the man beside her is YES through the reflection from the car window was just brilliant. We saw her expression shift each seconds connecting the dots and disbelief that she really just mistook YES as Baek Hyun Woo.

I am so glad the new kdramas are bringing back the specific brand of loser men. You know which brand I'm talking about. The Ahn "min min" Minhyuk brand of loser men and I'm loving it. The "I worship this goddess and I'm so in love with her and I can't believe I get to love her. Oh my gods I love her so much" brand of loser men. And we're being fed so well with lovely runner, love next door, no gain no love, my demon, Cinderella at 2am, Hierarchy, Midnight Romance in Hagwon, doctor slump, Queen of tears, welcome to samdal-ri and even good partner (yes it's one sided but the dedication and yuri's couple too).

We need more fictional loser men who worship women to satiate our eldest independent daughter desires.

Episode 4 Queen of Tears BaekHong recap

Scene: A glimpse of 1031

When Hae In kissed him and he looked at her phone’s screen, in the end did he close his eyes and just kiss? Or only for that second of realising he is dead when the screen locked. The scene cuts too fast to the next one and I can’t figure it out. Hyun Woo finds out her phone’s passcode and it was 1031. After he retreats to his bedroom, we were brought to his memory of their pregnancy news early in their marriage. They both looked so happy anticipating their unborn child with Hyun Woo shedding happy tears while Hae In looking more reserved in showing her emotion. They were excited with the news and already planning to give the best to the child with Hyun Woo sticking the glow in the dark smiley star on their baby’s nursery. But, they didn’t have a child and we speculate that they probably had a miscarriage. Nothing explained yet until the revelation in episode 5. But Hyun Woo’s sorrow was very much obvious when he stared at the sticker on the bedroom’s ceiling.

Scene: Pretty Hae In and Giddy Hyun Woo (jealousy reincarnate)

The morning comes and Hyun Woo is obviously affected by last night's event. Considering how slow he is to understand his feelings and Hae In, he was probably only able to process last night’s event when the morning came. Now, he doesn’t understand why Hae In looks pretty and was even more delighted after Hae In compliments that he looked handsome in his suit. We got to see a love-stricken Hyun Woo for a glimpse when he saw her smile. Something changes inside him and he is denying it with every cell in his body but he is just making excuses now, just to refute Yang Gi’s point. I mean his reflex is complimenting Hae In still pretty even if she didn’t wear high heels and he didn’t even realise that (I don’t know how many times I have used the words “realised” for Hyun Woo, he is so slowwwww). Like how dare you to just throw a compliment without batting an eyelash. And why are you making excuses and explaining Hae In’s behaviour to your secretary? Just admit it or just stfu. The only person that needed it is you, Hyun Woo.

Scene: Tipsy Hyun Woo with peanut bread

Hyun Woo picking up peanut bread for Hae In just peak marriage couple thing, buying random stuff for his wife after having a drink. Bro, it’s too obvious and you denying it is just plain idiot at this point. He was ahead of himself when Yang Gi assumed that the good news Hae In wanted to tell him is regarding the inheritance. So, imagine his despair when he found out that Hae In chance of surviving her cancer exceeded 50%. His imagination just runs wild and he dies a little bit inside thinking to survive 5o more years of marriage with Hong Hae In.

Scene: Hyun Woo to the rescue part 4

Hae In was not feeling well on her way home and has to be confronted by her mother (I really hate this mother), just to complaint that Hae In is causing YES (I just fed up to spell his name) not considering to invest in Soo Cheol’s project. Mommy is just plain annoying and evil, she didn’t even notice that Hae In is already pale and struggle to even stand there. Hae In almost fainted when Hyun Woo enter their house at the perfect timing. Nice save, Hyun Woo. Before he found out about Hae In’s illness, he never man up in front of her family but this is already the second time he defends her in front of her family. He probably thinks that Hae In doesn’t need any help from him previously to fight against her family, but seeing her vulnerable side after her falling sick only makes him see things differently. He never thought that Hae In would ever need him to fight her battle as she was already a strong and independent woman. He probably thought that she was not the same Hae In that needed his protection in the past. But now that he saw past that façade, the good ol’ Hyun Woo will make a comeback. He finally knew the real reason behind Hae In hiding her illness from her family. This also serves as a turning point for Hyun Woo regarding Hae In’s illness and death. He already had the guilt expression all over his face.

Scene: Queen Hae In in Yongduri

Hyun Woo started to worry when no one knew Hae In’s whereabouts. He only found her after it was already dark and he was tired, worried and frustrated. While Hae In felt lost and scared, she refused to show it to Hyun Woo. She probably felt that she needs to be seen as someone who is totally in control of her own body and illness, but sadly it’s not and while she knew that she refused to admit it even to Hyun Woo. She refused to be treated as a patient because admitting it also means that she acknowledges the gravity of her illness. But her walls broke down when she realised that Hyun Woo took so long to find her. The details of his sweat over his blazer and white shirt (I was deeply impressed with the details of direction of this particular scene, it makes so much sense why the lamps light up at Hyun Woo’s retreated steps) make her regret the words that she said to him. To the man who was worried about her, he deserves honesty and the truth behind her disappearance.

This scene also served as a revelation to Hyun Woo, the husband who was thankful that his wife would die in three months. The revelation that her illness is not something that should be celebrated and what kind of trash he had been. This is also the first time that he saw Hae In’s dishevelled appearance; the woman who was always in control of everything is not invincible anymore. She needs care and protection; his heart probably sank when he saw her appearance, trembling hands and her tears. The hug… I gasped when he hugged her.

Summary:

I remembered the first time I watched this series and realised that the MP3 was Hae In’s all along. That is just too cliché but still cute and we still loved it anyway. Fated lovers have been used by k-drama so much that sometimes I wish they could just stop doing it. But till the last episode, this drama's main focus was a miraculous love story, of luck and fated lovers that are born truly for each other. Those three are the key points that they are trying to sell to the viewers. They were born to love each other till their last breath.

It's evident in the little things how much Hae Seong cares about Su Ah and it is just so endearing to watch. It's so evident in his smile, his gaze, his gestures. My heart melts everytime I watch a scene that shows how smitten he is.

(Ep 11 spoilers ahead)

When there's a chair right beside her but he kneels at her feet and softly looks at her with admiration while listening to her talk.

The way he confesses in a class *and* corridor full of high school kids and just stares at her with a big smile while she is processing what he just said. He doesn't care about anything but her at that moment.

When she runs towards him and offers to walk him to the school door, and he just endearingly smiles at her as they start walking. And can't forget that shoulder bump.

When she's serving him food at the restaurant, his smile is so wide and bright.

When she asks him if to eat and rest during the funeral, and he just softly smiles at her and tells her not to worry about him because he's okay. Because he doesn't want *her* to worry about him.

When he gently takes her hand in his and thanks her while staring at her with gratitude, because he's so thankful that she showed up to be there for *him*.

She's become an important part of his life, and might even have become the most important person to him. Because why would an ex-NIS Agent call a civilian to ask for help instead of his fellow ex-NIS agents, who technically would have more resources and ways to help him. When he is in danger, she is the first person he thinks of to call for help.

And the part which basically prompted me to make this whole post - he's memorized her number🥹 Somewhere along the way he consciously made the effort to memorize it AND he remembered it even with a severe head injury.

This man is so smitten.

Are you there? Did you leave? He left. He really holds a grudge.
