Episode 10 Queen of Tears BaekHong recap

Scene: Unboxing champion boxer Baek Hyun Woo

We could’ve gotten another topless scene of Baek Hyun Woo in all of his glory but he stopped it. It is official that Hyun Woo is the party pooper in this series. He keeps being the one who blocked us from getting something worthy of humna, humna, humna… Hyun Woo thought that Hae In was angry at him for getting hurt because she raised her voice but she was only worried for him. He didn’t realise this until he saw that Hae In almost cried because of him. Only then he knew that Hae In was mad because she was worried about him. Hyun Woo was trying to brag to Hae In about his boxing skill and the fight he had with the broker but instead she is not impressed. She asks him to promise to run away if he ever encounters the same situation again but he can’t make a promise, he had a previous arrangement with himself about Hae In. But Hae In reminds him yet again that they have divorced and only a married couple is bound to make a promise for their partner. They divorced so that they don’t need to do that. Hyun Woo was saddened again by her statement and was rendered speechless.

Scene: Strawberry pops past, present and future

Hae In applied ointment and bandage on Hyun Woo’s scratched face and probably for once in a long time, he felt happy that Hae In blatantly cared for him. Previously, she did care for him but it was all done without his knowledge. It was that easy to show that she cared for him but because of their pride, they never had a chance or actually found the chance to do it for each other. They had a talk on the bench in front of Yongduri Supermarket and they probably remembered the last time they had a talk at the same place while eating the strawberry pops. At that time, Hyun Woo made a promise to always stay by her side even though she had a debt and that promise was the one that made her believe that he was the only one for her. So, it was significant for them to finally analyse what went wrong with them during their marriage.

Hyun Woo is regretting the way they never communicate properly throughout the marriage and how they let their wounds fester without making an effort to treat it. But Hae In thinks differently, she thinks that they were never a good match and they could’ve saved their energy and time without getting hurt if they broke up around the time she first ate the strawberry pops in Yongduri. In that way, they would be able to cherish their happy memories for a long time and they would never have a chance for wounds or scars to form. Hyun Woo would be able to marry someone that is warmer, kinder and better than her (he specifically clenched his fist when she said this sentence). Hyun Woo doesn’t agree with her and said that he will always regret it a lot if they broke up in the past, he knew that he won’t easily forget her. Hae In argues that if he knew what would happen in the future, he wouldn’t make the same choice and Hyun Woo assures her that even if he knew what will happen to them, he will still make the same decision (to marry her) instead he will treat her differently. He would have asked her and checked in on her more often. He regrets that he never makes an effort to understand and care for her more often. We saw that they actually care for each other but their timing is always off and they ended up seeing each other’s back.

Scene: Jealous Hyun Woo is back

Hyun Woo found out that YES came by Yongduri the previous night and was bothered by the fact that Hae In did not mention it to him. He asks Hae In about him and is getting annoyed after hearing about the content of their conversation, especially about living together in the Queens mansion. Hae In is slowly getting worked up by his reaction and argues that she and Hyun Woo are also not together and yet they still live in the same house. She thinks that everything he has done for them is more than enough, she feels uncomfortable with him going above and beyond for her. She tells him that she knew about him being accused of malpractice and waiting to be assigned. He tells her that it’s nothing and she is in no position to worry about him. Hae In said that she will manage her own problem and that she is uncomfortable with him having to suffer because of her, she doesn’t want him to do anything because of her and she will have her own solution to her problem.

Again? I thought they already agreed to communicate properly. They are protecting each other behind their backs again. As usual, Hyun Woo didn’t get her entire point. She just wants him to not get dragged into her family’s problem while he is exposed to danger. YES blackmailed her and she is scared that Hyun Woo will be put in danger and she doesn’t want that. She knows that Hyun Woo will do anything and everything for her, so she needs to stop him from doing that so that she can protects him.

Scene: Bong Ae is the best MIL

She confronted Hyun Woo when she overheard Hae In during a phone call. There is one part that is lost in the translation, but when Bong Ae refers to Hae In, she calls her as “your wife, Hae In-ie is sick right?” to Hyun Woo. YES should’ve heard this line so that his inside will boil with anger. Anyway… Hyun Woo was quite surprised when his mother confronted him with the question, but he decided that his mom needed to know because she will need someone to care for her when he is not at home. When his mom knew about the reason he was delaying the divorce process, she was disappointed in him and felt sorry for Hae In. Where in the world could we ever find someone as good as Bong Ae as a MIL. No wonder Hyun Woo has such a big and kind heart, it all came from his lovely mother. He accepts that he is the scumbag for doing that to Hae In and that is why he is always listening to Hae In and would follow whatever Hae In’s decision, because he doesn't deserve her or her forgiveness.

Scene: I’m Sorry, I Hate You, I Love You

Hae In comes to Queens Group to attend the press conference arranged by YES. Hae In is risking it all for Baek Hyun Woo. She only attends the press conference to save Hyun Woo from being falsely accused by YES and she wants to make sure that YES would have nothing against her that he could use as a weakness. A power move from our most powerful Hong Hae In. When she reveals the blackmail she receives from YES to her confession about her illness, she was solely doing it with Baek Hyun Woo in her mind. Finally, and finally Hyun Woo got the message. He finally got a glimpse of hope for them, Hae In is showing him something that she had never shown before to anyone, and he is the only one who gets to receive that. Hyun Woo had tears in his eyes and he looked at her with utmost love, admiration and sadness. He knew then that their heart belongs to each other, they are doing everything just to protect each other from harm.

Epilogue: Baek Hyun Woo’s special move, drunk in cuteness

Hyun Woo confides in his brother because he feels sad that Hae In said she doesn’t want him to do anything for her and that she is uncomfortable with his efforts for her. He is confused with Hae In’s real feelings as she keeps giving him mixed signals. At first she was worried for him and put a band-aid on him, but the next time she told him that he is making her uncomfortable. Although I want to say that Hyun Woo is too slow again, it's actually not. He is just not confident with himself, he could never imagine that Hae In would easily forgive him and wanted the same thing as him; to get back together again.

When he was plucking the leaves once again, I just immediately thought that he was finally asking the right question to his universe (Hong Hae In). That’s why he got the answer that he wanted this time and he was drunkenly happy with the thought that Hae In likes him. When he confesses to Hae In’s door unknowing that she is on the other side, he is overwhelmed with his own feelings. He is finally ready and admitting to his feelings, he loves her. He loves her to the point that it was so hard to contain it to himself anymore. He was back to when he first fell for her, but this time is different. Because now, he realises the weight of the word; love. He had forgotten about his feelings for her once and to hold the weight of their love again, he needs certainty from both of them so that they will be able to really stay together forever. He probably had saved that word ever since her love confession when she had lost her memory of Germany.

I was crying when I saw Hae In’s disbelief expression for the love confession. She could not believe that he said that he loves her. His sincerity was loud and clear without her having to see his face. She is certain that this time, his love is honest and comes from the bottom of his heart. That’s why she was able to make the decision to participate in the press conference. She believes in their love now. But of course, their fate will not be easy on them.
