In tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Queen of Tears“, Baek Hyun-woo (played by Kim Soo-hyun) and Hong Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won) are captivating viewers with their inseparable bond. Let’s delve into the romance timeline of the “BaekHong” (Baek Hyun-woo + Hong Hae-in) couple, who have been accumulating feelings of love moment by moment in life.
The connection between Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in dates back a long time. In their childhood, Baek Hyun-woo, who was a young marine, coincidentally saved Hong Hae-in’s life when she fell into the sea. However, Baek Hyun-woo did not know the name of the child he rescued, and Hong Hae-in believed that the person who helped her was her deceased brother, so the two had their first fateful encounter without knowing each other.
After the first meeting that remained as a fleeting memory, their second encounter occurred in high school. Baek Hyun-woo, who bumped into Hong Hae-in on the school playground on the first day of transferring to the new school, wandered around carrying the MP3 player left by Hong Hae-in, not knowing that she had gone abroad. The first love memory that left a strong impression even in a short moment, as described as a thousand-year ideal type, remained intact in one side of Baek Hyun-woo’s drawer over time.
However, when Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in met again as interns after a long time, they did not recognize each other as adults. Nevertheless, Baek Hyun-woo unconsciously cared about Hong Hae-in, and Hong Hae-in was secretly excited about Baek Hyun-woo. The face of Hong Hae-in, who always took the same path because she wanted to see Baek Hyun-woo more, was filled with sweet affection, making viewers’ hearts flutter.
Finally starting their romance, Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in enjoyed their time alone at places considered date spots, thanks to Hong Hae-in’s immense wealth. Not realizing Hong Hae-in’s assistance, Baek Hyun-woo marveled, saying “It feels like the whole universe is helping just the two of us” and took advantage of the atmosphere to propose sincerely, melting Hong Hae-in’s heart.
Despite unexpected challenges in their married life, causing them to drift apart to the point of considering divorce, Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in’s relationship became stronger as they overcame crises together. Baek Hyun-woo made efforts to help his wife in danger even after their divorce, and Hong Hae-in also protected her husband in distress by revealing her vulnerabilities in front of everyone, bringing a lump to viewers’ throats with their sincere affection.
In particular, Baek Hyun-woo expressed his unwavering affection by proposing again, wanting to stay by Hong Hae-in’s side. Hong Hae-in, who had no choice but to push it away because her memory had become so blurred, tried on the ring without Baek Hyun-woo’s knowledge, showing that both of them felt the same way.
In this way, Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in are struggling to regain a normal daily life with their love and trust in each other as the driving force. Viewers wonder whether Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in, who are moving in the same direction, can overcome crises and continue to love each other.
The drama airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM.
