In the first episode, we see Hyun-woo and Hae-in’s backstories and how they came to be married. We also see Hyun-woo’s anguish post-marriage at the hands of his wife who is a cold presence and his in-laws who constantly look down on him.
However, a sudden diagnosis changes everything between them and Hyun-woo takes it upon himself to make his marriage better, instead of going through with a divorce.

Queen of Tears Episode 2 Review
The episode had moments of fun but felt like a filler episode already. A good chunk of the episode felt like it was being dragged unnecessarily. From the side characters’ day-to-day life to long, drawn-out dialogues that don’t add anything to the story- it seemed as though the makers wanted us to care for the side characters as much as the main couple. With only two episodes in, there isn’t enough context for us as viewers to care for the others.
We get to see more of Hyun-woo and Hae-in as a couple as the former tries to manipulate her into giving him the Queens Department Stores after she passes away. There are also moments of Hae-in’s true personality peeking through in different scenes, giving us an idea that she is like an onion – there are layers we need to peel to see the person she is on the inside. These moments are sweet and effective and the chemistry between the leads is quite nice as well.
