Queen Of Tears Opening Week Story
“My coronary heart jumps each time your superior scolds you.”
It has been three years since our Cinderella man, Baek Hyun-woo, married into the Queens Group family. His spouse is Hong Hae-in, the group’s heiress and CEO of the division retailer, the place Hyun-woo works as the pinnacle of the authorized workforce.
5 years in the past, Hyun-woo, a brand new recruit again then, first met Hae-in whereas she was working undercover as an intern to find out about enterprise administration. After worrying concerning the photocopier Hae-in constantly kicked when malfunctioned, Hyun-woo began to develop involved in Hae-in and fearful about how she would survive at work together with her mood.
“Even should you get fired and might’t get a brand new job, I can deal with you”
Wholly oblivious to her household’s background, Hyun-woo confesses his like to Hae-in. He desires to have a spouse who has a profession. However whether it is Hae-in, Hyun-woo doesn’t thoughts being the only real breadwinner. It’s hilarious how Hyun-woo shyly tells Hae-in he graduated from legislation faculty at SNU lest she will get burdened and brags about signing a two-year lease and his household proudly owning 35 calves to guarantee Hae-in he can present for her.
Having realized the reality, a shocked Hyun-woo palms in his resignation letter and ghosts Hae-in. Taking issues into her personal palms, Hae-in goes towards her dad and mom and heads to see him in a personal jet, promising to not make him cry ever if he holds her hand.
“I ruined my very own life. We wouldn’t have gotten married had I not been so cute.”
Our beautiful couple marries in a elaborate marriage ceremony with everybody wishing for his or her fortunately ever after. However after we meet them within the current day, it looks like Hae-in hasn’t stored her promise. One would possibly assume Hyun-woo is the luckiest man on earth. However his life is pure torture.
To begin with, Hyun-woo lives with Hae-in’s complete household in the identical home. Thus, having to attend all of the household conferences, clear after their messes, and run errands for them. Worse, Hyun-woo misses out on his father’s sixtieth birthday as he has to organize meals for Hae-in’s grandmother’s memorial service. What tops all of it was Hae-in’s household just about ordering them to have a toddler.
Hyun-woo’s misery extends to work as effectively, as Hae-in and Hyun-woo’s enterprise approaches can’t be completely different. Whereas Hyun-woo cares about folks and loyalty, Hae-in has no issues reducing off anybody who doesn’t earn their preserve. Her solely focus is the right way to attain a trillion received in gross sales and earn her grandfather’s favor.
“It’s true that I dislike my in-laws. Nonetheless, I despise my spouse much more.”
Since even visiting a psychiatrist doesn’t assist enhance his situation (an epic reunion of our Tae brothers from It Is Okay Not To Be Okay), Hyun-woo considers getting a divorce. The ultimate straw is listening to a rumor that Hae-in signed a will earlier than marriage, stating Hyun-woo received’t get a penny after she dies. I don’t assume it’s cash however the feeling of betrayal that drives Hyun-woo mad. (Or so we thought at first.)
Having made up his thoughts, Hyun-woo approaches Hae-in with the divorce papers solely to get too shocked to utter a phrase after Hae-in tells him she solely has 3 months left to reside. It isn’t a prank. Hae-in was certainly recognized with a uncommon mind tumor. And sadly, surgical procedure is dangerous and there are not any efficient medicines for her situation.
“To be trustworthy, her likelihood of survival could be very low. However miracles do occur.”
The subsequent day, Hyun-woo tags alongside to Hae-in’s appointment with the physician. You realize, what if it is a misdiagnosis, and he calls off the divorce for nothing? However seeing how Hae-in retains forgetting issues and zoning out, it’s secure to say she is certainly in poor health.
Since Hae-in has solely a bit of time left, Hyun-woo feels relieved to have a manner out of this torturing marriage with out having to undergo trials. However the catch is: that he received’t inherit something after Hae-in dies due to the supposed will. Nonetheless, he can bathe Hae-in with love and get her to alter her thoughts, proper? Cue: Hyun-woo buys Hae-in flowers, making a scene when she chokes on water, peeling shrimp for her, and masking her along with his jacket to not catch a chilly.
“Don’t fear. I’ll reside it doesn’t matter what.”
In one other state of affairs, Hae-in may need been moved by Hyun-woo’s actions. However he’s so dramatic that folks will begin to discover Hae-in’s situation quickly. The very last thing Hae-in desires is for her household to seek out out about her sickness since they solely care about cash and property.
Nonetheless, when Hae-in spots Hyun-woo’s analysis on comparable instances to her situation, she will get touched and decides to combat her illness and get higher. This may not have been Hyun-woo’s intention when looking out, however he will get moved by Hae-in’s phrases as effectively.
“Don’t idiot your self. This isn’t actual. Snap out of it.”
What does the trick is Hyun-woo recognizing Hae-in collectively together with her ex-boyfriend, Yoon Eun-seong. It’s as clear as day he’s jealous and consuming his phrases about hoping Hae-in received married to Eun-seong and spared him the difficulty.
We finish the week with Hae-in’s household happening their traditional hunt journey, inviting Eun-seong over. Hyun-woo appears just like the black sheep. However who cares about this? Hae-in nonetheless stands by her choice to decide on him over Eun-seong, although the latter appears to be nonetheless involved in her. Whereas experiencing one other zoning-out seizure, Hae-in virtually will get attacked by a wild boar. however Hyun-woo reveals up like a knight, capturing the boar, and saving Hae-in.
Queen Of Tears Opening Week Musings
The drama is a feast to the eyes. Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won are shining of their respective roles and their chemistry is on hearth. It takes two to tango. And the meat of this story for me is how misunderstandings and seeing issues from completely different views with out correct communication can drift a pair aside regardless that they’re nonetheless in love.
Hae-in would possibly come throughout as chilly and ruthless. However she yearns for affection. All she desires is a few assurance from Hyun-woo that he’s nonetheless in love together with her and didn’t marry her for cash just like the annoying folks round Hae-in preserve saying.
It’s a pity Hyun-woo mistakenly believes she doesn’t care about her household mistreating him, although Hae-in teaches her brother, Hong Soo-cheol, a lesson for disrespecting Hyun-woo. However since Hae-in does this behind Hyun-woo’s again, he has no thought about it. It isn’t that Hae-in bailed on Hyun-woo when he requested to fulfill. However she received right into a haze and couldn’t go. Selecting Hyun-woo as the one one to reveal her situation to says lots about how a lot Hae-in loves and trusts him.
However, Hyun-woo appears to be nonetheless in love with Hae-in. Jealousy apart, he was genuinely fearful about Hae-in when he realized about her situation. He may need been greatly surprised when she jokingly steered they die collectively. However Hyun-woo was shocked on the information.
That being mentioned, I hope we are able to minimize down on the display time Hae-in’s household is taking. Not solely do they bring about nothing new however they’re additionally irritating. If something, this household is a scorching mess. From the aunt who goes round inflicting bother to Hae-in’s mom who appears to carry a grudge towards her due to a previous incident, to Soo-cheol, who solely cares about beating his sister and inheriting the enterprise. Extra about our OTP and fewer chaebol antics, please, writer-nim.
