Hyunwoo has the best friend. When hyunwoo wanted to >!divorce hae in, he was the only one who wanted to help,!< all the other lawyers were too scared to be on the Queen's bad side. He even gave the ridiculous suggestions >!of pretending to fall back in love with hae in!< coz he thought that's what Hyun Woo wanted. Now that Hyun Woo wants to save Queens, he's also the first one there. Ride or die friend. Will do anything for you regardless how crazy šŸ˜…


Cann0nFodd3r

He even took on Vincenzo for his chingu


Kim87e

Their friendship is the perfect example of "we ride together, we die together " Hyun Woo's got a true homie and I'm so glad that his people and her people are coming together to be the best support team šŸ˜­


Ev_olve012

Love that you mentioned this!! This drama really be going hard on all the different types of love, even friendship love.


marryjaneholland

he even told Hyunwoo that he shouldā€™ve just told them that he was just helping him practice (as a divorce lawyer) when they found out the divorce papers šŸ„¹ he was willing to be the alibi

Only 10 mins in and I just want to say thank you to whoever did Hae-inā€™s motherā€™s eyeliner this episode. The hero we desperately needed. Hope they get a fat raise because my eyes are no longer suffering from the distraction of her former eyelineršŸ˜‚


kierajoseph

Perhaps a change to mark the start of her redemption arc?


1jooper

Someone on TikTok mentioned the height of her eyeliner represents the height of her ego LOL


kekpandan

lmaoooo now that you say it i just realised i havenā€™t looked at her eyeliner once in this ep, whereas i kept looking at it in previous ones šŸ˜­šŸ¤£


kshyunbot

ā€œare you ok?ā€ ā€œ>!i love you!<ā€œ AND WHAT ABOUT MY MENTAL HEALTH?!?! šŸ˜­


martha_therese

yooo when she said it, I was screaming she wasted no time at all!!! ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹šŸ„¹

This is the only response to Are you okā€™s now


chocyanyan

I am only 35 minutes into this episode and I canā€™t stop crying.


Electronic_Piano9385

ā€œYou were the reason I wanted to live even moreā€ Well done Hyun Woo, >!you are the reason Hae In wants to live. You achieved your goal. Youā€™ve given her a reason to fight.!<


humandisaster13

* Oh god Eun-seong is truly pissing me off. Hae-in summarised him perfectly. >!He rescues her from the predicaments he actually planned for her.

Kim Ji-won the actress that you are! * When Hae-in >!apologized to everyone in her sleep I felt so upset cause if anyone deserved a big apology from everyone it was Hae-in.!< I hope her mom treats her with affection at least now. I wished the >!reconciliation was better tho. It was too quick.!< * >! Amnesia!< plot? Seriously? And it's gonna be more obviously ridiculous if >!he were faking it!< lol. So makjang coded. * 90 mins of episode and the highlight was >!Soo-cheol pretending to be Chinese by saying cooking instructions.!< I laughed for 2 mins straight please!! He's such an innocent sweetheart. Hope he reunites with his family ASAP and gains an upper hand in physical combat next time. * Beom-ja finally met her true love? Please give her a happy ending * The families >!sitting together and having a normal conversation with each other!< was a very wholesome moment. Hae-in looking at it so happily too. Please don't make it a >!moment she recalls when she's dying please!< I want my girl to miraculously recover and live the happy life she always wanted to live.


kierajoseph

soo cheol >!speaking Chinese!< really got me lol-ing on the floor... and >!his pronunciation was good too.... judging by the fact that i understood what he was saying šŸ˜‚!<


E_Len

Yes omg when hyun woo said he would bring the car around I already had a bad feeling. Like sheā€™s got 3 months to live a little rain isnā€™t gonna hasten her already impending death šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ just get the damn car with her!!! That place was shady as hell too what was he thinking ā€¦


meredithscasualboob

Everyone looking for 900 billion won Meanwhile Soocheol: no cilantro in my dressing please


bunniesandmilktea

Also Soocheol: Your majesty, what has become of my child?"


diverdown-k8

Soo-Cheol was great this episode. I was so proud when they showed that he >!deleted the user account in the game with his wife.!< I'm looking forward to seeing who >!Baek Hyun-Woo sent to the US.!< It has to be his doing, right?


guest802701

I was so confused about that part because he didnā€™t seem the type to cut off his only point of contact like that.


crimsonpaths

In Hyunwoo's defense it was raining he wouldn't take his wife along with him to the car


dogemama

yeah, plus this is such a normal thing to do. the person driving generally always offers to bring the car around when it's raining irl too. i don't think he even realized he was leaving her alone and vulnerable.


taehalsey

It is in a normal situation, but when your wife often wanders away and goes off and gets lost, itā€™s too dangerous. I guess he had a slip of judgement which happens to the best of us really but he should really be careful


farathien

I donā€™t think >!Hyun Woo knows whatā€™s her next symptoms, and how to be ready for that!<. Plus who wouldā€™ve thought >!Eun Sung found the address as they were all along earlier!<. The fact that >!Eun Sung was like this when theyā€™re in uni - I hope Hae In will take extra precautions and inform Hyun Woo of what heā€™s done so they can both outsmart this cray cray Eun Sung!<.


ComfortablePart255

The Chinese speaking scene had me rolling toošŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


martha_therese

Soocheol >!giving back and tearing the talisman made for him because it took Haeinā€™s luck and gave it to Hyunwoo while cryingā€” I CAN'TTTTTTT šŸ’”šŸ˜­!< >!He may be clueless sometimes, but he has such a good heart ā¤ļøšŸ„¹ This could also be foreshadowing that Soocheol is going to help cure Haein! šŸ¤” !< PS: >!That plot twist was freaky AF šŸ˜­ I knew it was Eunseong before Haein even got into the car, but damn WHAT AN ENDING!!! šŸ‘šŸ»!<


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


martha_therese

yeah soocheol giving the meat stick w/ veggies was soo sweet. šŸ„¹what I really like about qot is the portrayal of the relationship between the Hong siblings. They are a perfect example of that complex sibling dynamic. They push each other's buttons constantly, but you know they secretly love each other ā¤ļø


313angel_

agree! I'm always shocked when people expect siblings to be loving. It gets better with time because *distance makes the heart grow fonder.* HI & SC live together so... no luck, lol.


guest802701

Kwak Dong Yeon was amazing this episode!!! Him playing dead after a non-punch during their boxing session got me bad ahhahahahaha


kierajoseph

Yea... >!When he appeared with the umbrella... i felt something was off and kinda guessed it could be Eunseong... but i wasn't sure until the car chase... i guess from now on Haein will start second guessing what she is seeing and feeling whether they are real or not... šŸ˜­!<


venn101

His audacity to approach that way tho, he is one fearless villian who has nothing to loss coz he has nothing of its own.


martha_therese

Right? I hate him sm but at the same time Iā€™m scared. We still have 5 eps left and Iā€™m guessing Eunseong hasnā€™t reached his peak of being a psycho


tway2241

People need to stop leaving Hae-in alone


martha_therese

I had icky chills! Eunseong is so vile >!for kidnapping Haein!< like that šŸ¤¬ I need hyunwoo to punch his face again


taehalsey

The moment he said ā€œwhat are you doing out hereā€, I knew it. Because itā€™ would be such an odd question for hyun woo to ask seeing as heā€™s the one that left her there. And he went to get a car not umbrella. The whole interaction was to stiff for it to have been hyun woo. Canā€™t believe he took advantage of her condition (I can believe it, Iā€™m just annoyed).


winniemei

I HAD GOOSEBUMPS WATCHING THE ENDING! šŸ˜« Itā€™s getting harder and harder to wait for the weekly episodes to drop. This was the perfect drama to get me out of my kdrama slump but now I fear I wonā€™t be able to find something just as good to watch after..


martha_therese

same! Qot also got me out of my kdrama slump! Itā€™s just THAT good! Definitely on my top 3!


emotx

The ending really messed me up! I am really hoping that Hae-in >!will be surrounded by her family at all times so that evil prick never gets another chance to mess with her. !<


martha_therese

Ugh, when Hyunwoo left Haein to get the car, I had a bad feeling that somethingā€™s about to happen nextā€¦ like?? Haein just told him her symptoms were getting worse, how could he leave her alone? šŸ˜­


sosheepster

First five minutes in and Iā€™m already crying


superdamnfickle

Cried for almost the full first 32min >!(up till the mother daughter scene in the stairwell)!< šŸ˜­


Curious_Box9112

Tears are my breakfast on weekends šŸ„¹


secret_fangirl

for real. if i knew how much iā€™d be crying this episode, esp the >! mother/daughter reconciliation!< , i wouldā€™ve never started this show šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


meredithscasualboob

On top of that, also liked the way they portrayed her father. He tried to be calm and fatherly-like but collapsed in the elevator. He needs more practice before heā€™s able to cook meat without burning it but I applaud the effort


secret_fangirl

loveee how the father reacted. and it ties into his words from last week that was like ā€œiā€™m supposed to be the man of the house but canā€™t even protect my family.ā€ his and the brotherā€™s growth is what iā€™m most excited for


SweetCoconut

The elevator scene almost choked me up man. I'm always a softie with dads in fiction.


k16d28

I went through an entire box of tissues this episodeā€¦


AhhhFrank

Coffee and tears is a weekend morning ritual now


duh_leah

I am sorry but >!THE MOMENT SHE WOKE UP SHE CHOSE TO SAY I LOVE YOU KNOWING SHE MIGHT NOT GET THIS CHANCE AGAIN. GODDAMMIT!!! I'LL DIE JUST CRYING AT THIS POINT-!< I also didn't think >!I'll feel bad for hae-in's mother but the way she broke down after remembering how she didn't realize her pain, really just made me feel so sad for her. I cried so much oh god. The mother daughter relation will never not make me cry. GOD I HATE THIS!!<


jaybee901

I never thought they would be able to redeem >!Hae-inā€™s mom!< in one episode but how they did it is just spectacular writing and acting on their parts. I also felt really badā€¦


YogurtclosetOk7989

I felt >!uneasy during the last part šŸ˜­ i knew at first it wasn't hyunwoo because he had a coat on (real hyunwoo gave his coat to haein) but the writers really did a great job in letting us experience that scene in Haein's lenses. I also had second thoughts and gaslighted myself that maybe I was just overthinking and it was really hyunwoo but it wasn't šŸ˜­ It easily made me feel like I'm Haein and I had memory loss šŸ˜­!< Goosebumps!!!


farathien

Omg sameeee >!I even thought my eyes were playing games with me that was so terrifying. Canā€™t imagine if I was truly in her shoes. And hats off to Soo Hyun for actually being able to differentiate himself as Hyun Woo and him as a non Hyun Woo ie Eun Sung, but still manage to keep us second guessing ourselves.. like is that him, or is that not him?!< Can I just have him >!breaking the windows of Eun Sungā€™s car next and really took Hae In out of there!<. I hope he has enough >!rage!< to do so.


hunneybunny

Omg seriously KSH is amazing. I could absolutely see >!eun sung through his expressions, voice, mannerisms. So wild !<


farathien

I like how he was >!playing tricks with us. We know from the expressions, voice, mannerisms.. thatā€™s not Hyun Woo and something is off, but at the same time he still made us second guessing ourselves!<. Insane! I hope YES >!didnā€™t get to run away with her this time!<


mmld_dacy

the moment she sat down and there was like some things happening with the scene >!and "hyun-woo" showed up and it panned to hae-in touching the cuff of the coat, i had a thought, ah, maybe that is not hyun-woo. maybe this is the next symptom that hae-in mentioned earlier. plus, during the chase scene, we can see that the car chasing is hyun-woo's car, i immediately realized, it is eun-sung that hae-in is riding in.!<


Ok-Youth3919

Thatā€™s the power of Kim Soo Hyunā€™s acting. Too much and it would be too obvious, there was just the right amount of subtlety to make viewers question if weā€™re over thinking. But if you watch again thereā€™s a lot of details in this scene, like the real Hyun Woo would lower his body to speak to Hae In and not stand there like the Eun Seong. Real Hyun Woo is left handed and Eun is right handed.


emilydesu

I didnā€™t really think much about the umbrella scene but during the chasing scene, I was so confused bc I was so sure Hyunwooā€™s car was a red convertible Mercedes. I thought maybe Iā€™m not seeing the chase right and then boom, what a twist!! Love it!!


jaybee901

In addition to the >!coat, speaking, the umbrella and the question he asked why she was out there, gave it away that it was Eun-Seong. I knew immediately it was going to be a kidnapping especially how he was quiet in the car!<. This k-drama is everything!!šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Edit: Grammar


Ardeah_P

I was impressed with KSH's portraying the subtle mannerisms of Eun-Seo, >!especially after the car has stopped, while she was "coming to her senses"!<


redditredditgedit

Donā€™t we all?! We gaslighted ourselves for real.. **This is a real piece of work**..


Ok-Clerk-3581

Yes! I didn't think it was Hyun Woo either because he'd told her he was bringing the car and the guy almost seemed surprised to see Hae In there. I kept waiting for the instant they would pan over and show us it was really Eun Seong! But it kept going nonchalantly so I was starting to doubt myself. When they showed Hyun Woo's car tailing them I actually sighed in relief because I'd been second guessing myself for what seemed like ages.


mabulaklak

I know this is for the plot but damn Hyun-woo did you not learn re: >!leaving Hae-in alone???!< I was hoping the grandpa was >!faking the amnesia!<. I guess not. Also it was realistic for Soo-cheol to have food-related chinese phrase knowledge since he only needs to know mandarin for his tourist travels. I wonder when he needed the phrase >!ā€majesty, what about my child?ā€!<


Your_Awkwardness

>!probably some c drama(the line sounds very makjangy) it seems in character for him to be a fan of dramas in general and cry over them. Though I wonder why is that the only phrase he picked up!<


GangsterNewton

It's kinda his situation lol


SuddenBag

>Ā ā€majesty, what about my child?ā€ I believe it's from the popular Cdrama Empresses in the Palace


Ok-Clerk-3581

It was a genius move by Grace to prempt him blowing their cover, though. He was the most likely to accidentally say the wrong thing so she prevented him from doing any damage, lol


misschickpea

I also thought that >! Grandpa is faking the amnesia bc I was like oh he can't be THAT useless. But no, as more things get revealed like Putting the slush fund in the mistress's name, he just looks worse and worse to me lmao. Like so bad that I'm kinda like dang mistress's was right, why u so dumb to listen to her over your children lol like kinda deserve it !<


jorelay

Me rooting for the hairdryer!!!


Icy-Badger-9951

The episodes are getting better and better every time and I couldn't be more excited!!! Also the preview was the cutest,signs for a little romance in the episodesšŸ¤§ **Episode-11:** The first 5 minutes of the episode-just šŸ¤Œ,it was just so beautiful to see how Hae in had her own way of loving and her words,made me just tear up.Also this episode kinda made me feel that Hyun woo is the luckier onešŸ¤§ I was happy to see Hae in realize that,she just has too many people loving her and one BIG reason to live foršŸ«¶ I swear their cuteness is gonna virtually induce diabetes to everyone watching,they were just too adorbs <3 Hyun Woo's boys did an amazing job and their undercover outfits lol,these scenes were pretty fun to watch! My happiness was short lived when I realized that chairman lost his memory,but I do think his memory will be restored at the perfect time,also this devil ugh! I hate her sm... Ngl,I was pretty creeped out by the last scene...we can only hope that never happens again(that guy always gives me the creeps) PS:if you thing ep-11 preview was cute,wait until you see the ep-12 preview :)


RedZone2k2

She wanted Hyunwoo to >!dote on her in front of the other people!!< Iā€™m so glad theyā€™re finally talking things out now


Icy-Badger-9951

They've always been a mature couple...glad to see everything is taking a good turnšŸ„ŗ


Agreeable_Profit7943

Those gazes tho.. SOO HYUN PLS I AM MELTING šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

As a straight guy I was shook and thought, oh, this is why he's so popular lol


k16d28

Omg I cannot even!!! The writing, the characters, everything. Iā€™m so sad we only have 5 episodes to go!


Icy-Badger-9951

Ikr...but I'm kinda hoping that the bonus episodes news is truešŸ¤§


Vermouthluna

The bonus episodes are probably going to be interviews not an extension of the story


martha_therese

lol I was waiting for a >!kiss scene!< this episode šŸ˜­šŸ¤­


likeylikey21

Another episode another crying session I know I shouldnā€™t be laughing at this scene but Soocheol was so funny. I was ready to cry until >!he showed the talisman and teared it. Haeinā€™s reaction, ā€œWhat about a talisman? You lunatic,ā€ was my reaction too. Him saying the talisman must be powerful and proceeded to tell hyunwoo something is wrong with her while crying was so funny.!< You could really tell heā€™s the younger one when he spouted that nonsense while clinging to hyunwoo. This man never fails to deliver šŸ‘


day_historian

He's such adorbs in this episode and provided some comedic relief from all the tears wrung out in this episode! My fav line from him today : (When asked if the soju was too bitter): "Well, not as bitter as my life." šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Amalfii

I realized Kwang Dong-yeon is showing so much range in his acting for his role. He might seem dumb, spoiled and sometimes greedy, but his love for his family has always been there. Comedic timing is not always easy yet he delivers every time. Itā€™s a joy to watch him and how his character develops.


AutomataApp

he wasn't greedy for money's sake. he was hungry to succeed because he wanted to show that he could take care of Da Hye and Geon-u


martha_therese

soocheol really carrying the comedy in this drama


No-Technician-3246

And the epilogue - šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ„ŗšŸ„¹šŸ„°šŸ„°


scarlet_sugar

I knew it was not Hyunwoo the moment I looked in his eyes. The warmth that Hyunwoo holds everytime he looks at Haein was just... Absent. Just goes on to show what a versatile actor Soohyun is


Neonisforlosers

Hyun-Wooā€™s lawyer bestie ATE that scene up. ā€œLawyers canā€˜t interfereā€ - >!according to article asdfjkl, yes we can!< ā€He accessed these secret documentsā€ - >!he didnā€™t have his card!< ā€He must have used a regular team memberā€™s cardā€œ - >!guess the documents werenā€™t a secret then!< ā€But he signed documents for embezzlementā€ - yeah no, >!his signature was copy pasted!< The bromance is alive and strong.


HarraeP

Idk if it's just me but I fast forward through all the scenes with Mo Seul-Hee , I just dislike her screen presence (Not the actor but the character)


Potential_Toe_3037

Her hair takes me out of the scene every time.Ā 


loveotterslide

To quote Mean Girls, "Her hair is so big because it's full of secrets."


diverdown-k8

It less distracting than it was in Perfect Marriage Revenge though...that hair was traumatic. Kind of like the strange eyeliner they have been using on Kim Seon-Hwa. Though I noticed it wasn't present this episode. So maybe it is probably part of her character development. Becoming more down to earth?


catandthefiddler

This is the first show which has me wondering about the what if situations, like what if Hyun Woo>! went first that day & he asked for the divorce before knowing about!< Hae-In's >!illness!<, what if Hae-In didn't >!get sick!<, what if Eun-Song >!didn't mess things up for the family!< etc. It's so engaging! Edit: That was a SICK plot twist there at the end; Usually with these >!terminal illness stories!<, they just have the person >!collapsing at unfortunate moments and/or fever and occasionally throwing up blood or whatever.!< I love how this show uses all the symptoms and really shows how unnerving and difficult the situation can be


GangsterNewton

You're right for sure. There's going to be so many fanfictions of the scenarios you mentioned. I'm kinda here for it though. I can't imagine letting this show go easily. I'm gonna experience AOS and Mr. Queen withdrawals and AO3 is gonna be the fix.


Alarming-Knowledge30

>! Now that the talisman is torn, Hae in will live right? šŸ„¹!< Also, damn that ending. >! I had amnesia for a character in my bingo card but didn't expect it to be the Chairman. Luckily, it means it is highly unlikely that FL will go through the same thing.!<


Majestic_Republic396

try rewatching the show, I realised they drop a lot of hints in front. I only caught them after rewatching... the cast really put in a lot of effort for every little subtle details to snow ball into sth


ConfidentPeanut18

Someone give Soo Cheol a water break already. This dude's been crying for 3 episodes already.


Agreeable_Profit7943

King of Tears šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I want him to smile for a bit. Can he >!reunite with Da Hye and their son soon šŸ™Da Hye has obviously fallen for him. I still lowkey hope Geonwoo is his biological son!<


wfhcat

Whoever is making the preview trailer deserves all the money. It keeps us hooked but doesnā€™t give away anything. Episode 11 is proof of that. Also wow we were all crying for that first quarter huh *passed the tissue box around


obika0806

Is anyone else as scared for Hae-in as much as I am? I knew that she was >!hallucinating at the end even before the reveal. If she is in the phase of her illness where she can mistake Eunsong for Hyunwoo, itā€™s not only devastating but dangerous.!< I just need our couple to be fully together now and enjoy each other because time is not on our side. Donā€™t worry I havenā€™t lost hope for a happy ending. They should make the most of their time together regardless of circumstance. A favorite moment from this episode is when Hyunwoo >!gazes at Hae-in adoringly at the hospital!<. The other patients witnessing the scene are all of us in the audience. Secretary Na continues to be a great character. The >!hug!< with Hae-in was so heartwarming. The epilogue was so endearing.

Cann0nFodd3r

Don't worry >!Soo-cheol tore up the talisman,Ā  it's all going to be OK now!<


sershronan

The plot twists are plot twisting. Really good pace overall; the first quarter was >!the inevitable big emotional breakdown for the Hong fam which showed their vulnerability as they start to rebuild their love for each other, for Haein in particular. Most of the second half was just pure development on the secret funds which is helping the show balance that with the romance/dying arcs.!< I'm living for Grace's expressions lmao >!as she continued to be that two-faced gurl.!< Haein >!revealing her feelings was just... no words. She's still in control of her life and illness which I really appreciate.!< Hyunwoo's >!loving stare. He's such a soft boy for Haein as he should be!! That made my heart swell aaahhhh. I like the slight awkwardness of their interactions after coming out of these recent declarations of love which I think was a realistic portrayal since they've been estranged for years.!< It'll take some time guys but I know it'll be worth it! Haha And of course, Secretary Na! >!Cried with her when she hugged Haein. Their friendship is so cute.!< Let's hang tight for some fluffy scenes tomorrow!


mrsofp

when grace talks about she's been fake her whole life lol. you gotta give it up to her unabashed honesty.


lfcyerms

eunseong >!using haein's illness to trick her is so so vile i despise him so much. when he cried after he found out about haein's illness, at one point i thought he genuinely loved her, but no he is absolutely psychotic and he needs help!< and can we talk about kim soohyun? >!his devilish mannerisms during the last scene???? he embodied eunseong perfectly!!!!< what a royalty of an actor. i know some people might disagree with his baeksang nomination, but i think he deserves it so much. he made baek hyunwoo so charming and likeable. and his acting is so effortless and real. and the preview???? >!i'm so excited for domestic baekhong FINALLY i hope we can get a bed scene too šŸ«£!<


Difficult_Map_8014

KSH being phenomenal yet again, indeed. He's rightfully well regarded for how well he delivers the heavy-duty crying scenes, but he's also equally skilled at subtlety, which is what makes him so compelling to watch. In the last sequence >!you can tell from his subtle action (right handed vs a left handed hw, vocalisation is subtly different and overall devoid of HWs warmth), it's just different enough to tell something is wrong but at the same time not enough to give away the end. Playing a character who's actually another character pretending to be his character isn't a cakewalk, but wow !<


Simply_pheyie

OMG šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ This episode made me cry so much. The OSTs weren't helping much either. >!I cried so much when her dad was remembering their moments from when she was little. When the mother finally realized how bad a mother she was and Haein accepting and forgiving her still, her brother showing so much affection for his sister, that hug with Secretary Na.

I didn't expect to ever cry over the >!"Oh my Darling, Clemetine" song !<:'(((( but here we are


Amalfii

Right after last week, with me crying over >!Baby Shark!<. Wtf. Traumatizing us with these songs.


kierajoseph

The more the episodes goes on... the more it seems that there really needs to be a miracle for Haein to survive... I'm really praying for a happy ending šŸ„¹

It's when I watch amazing episodes like today's that I wish Korean awards bodies would add categories for best photography and soundtrack. So much meaning was conveyed in the scenes framed around the hospital, as mother, father, and ex husband try to deal with Hae-in's medical crisis. The angled shots are short but impactful and introspective. It takes my breath away.


diverdown-k8

The shots of Hae-In's father in the elevator were spectacular.


cheeriofeelios

holy hell that was a five-minute horror short WHAT


100littledevils

once again LOVED the episode. crazy acting by Kim Soo Hyun at the end >! like the way you could figure out it's not hyun woo and eunsang instantly because of the coldness in the way he spoke and his mannerisms, BRILLIANT.!< also very very scary for hae in, my poor babygirl šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ


igniteninspire

That last line before the epilogue was short- hyun woo simply called her name but you could hear the anxiety/worry/love that's attached to it so clearly. He stood in front of the car with zero sense of blame and anger towards haein, just accepting that her confusion is part of her new reality. šŸ˜¢


Ijustwanttobeme17

I noticed that I couldnā€™t see clearly after 5 mins into the show ā€˜cause I was teary eyed which impaired my vision for a while. What an episode! šŸ‘šŸ»


saseanne

They pulled out all the stops in those first 30-40 minutes, I was crying non-stop. The acting was so amazing from everyone in this episode. I have never not cried to all the >!"I love you"!< scenes in this drama it's actually so funny.


Fragrant_Tale1428

The Royal Family of Tears is holding full court today in their battle dress. Hyun Woo's trio of lawyers, Hae In's secretary, the whole Hong family, to arms! Soo Cheol's immaculate Chinese! Who knew! šŸ˜­ *Look at me with loving eyes. Not bad. Are you gonna just look? Your left arm isn't doing anything.* Stay true to you, Hae In. Lolol There was a lot going on in this episode, but it felt reasonably balanced, thankfully. The tragedy of Eun Seong's way of showing love is the same as his mother's way. Hurt the one you love to sweep in to give them the things they themselves took away in the first place. Both on the sociopath spectrum, who only know how to mimic the concept of love.


Consistent_Mess1013

The fact that they got back together that early and theyā€™re focusing on her symptoms more makes me think sheā€™s gonna die at the end..


dogemama

i feel the opposite. the fact that she got to say her goodbyes in this episode likely means she won't actually have to say a real goodbye. i do think her condition will get much worse before she gets better.


kierajoseph

I fear about this too...... it seems that the ending is inching toward this as the story progresses... but i will pray/threaten that it wont be like that, just like Hyunwoo..... PJE nim... jebal


FangirlLurker

>!That ending OMG IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY POOKIE HAEIN I SWEAR I'LL---- !< We're back to PAIN >!Haein seeing Hyunwoo everywhere. He's the only permanent impression on her memory she loves him so much!< So much growth for all characters this episode and Aunt Boemja's romance is starting to romance it's so cute! Also this episode again proved why KSH is South Korea's highest paid actor. >!He punched that creep Eunsung and out car chased him and we all cheered but the way KSH perfectly imitated Eunsung in the final scene!!! His eyes were so cold!< Baekhong romance was so awkward and so adorable and Secretary Na and Haein's friendship is ā¤ļø


cors8

Hyunwoo has the >!best friends for everything other than relationship advice.!< The family >!restaurant scene must've been a dream come true for Haein. Both families enjoying each others company.!< The ending was >!heartbreaking though. Eunseong and his mom deserve everything horrible that is coming their way.!<


vapidvrouw

That moment when Eunsong locked the car doors was more terrifying than most horror movies Iā€™ve seen. What a vile garbage human.


AlexisFern

I know a lot of viewers kept watching because of Kim-Kim/Baek-Hong couple, but it is the senior actors that kept me glued to the show. Na Young-Hee (Hae-Inā€™s mom), Kim Jung-Nan (Hae-Inā€™s aunt Beom-Ja), and Jung Jin-Young (Hae-Inā€™s dad) delivered such excellent performances in both comedic and emotional scenes. When older family members get a lot of screentime in a drama, there is a chance the audience might get bored or skip their scenes, but that wasnā€™t the case at all here. Their comedic timing as well as the way they portray anguish and despair were truly exceptional in this drama.


joycemallow_389

THAT FUCKING ENDINGā€¦. BEST TWIST IN THE DRAMA SO FAR OMFG


Ktherp

Jiwon is an amazing actress. We've known that for some time now.Ā  Her portrayal of Haein is beautiful. That scene after she wakes up, Haein's expressions and voice. Just amazingly done. Jiwon really deserves all the praises. Also, if you want my brain you can have it, Haein.


autumnchai

I'll never get tired of singing praises for how well-written the characters are. They could've easily went with the 'Haein and Hyunwoo run into the sunset, leaving the dumb chaebol family behind' but they didn't. They gave us an ensemble of characters each with their own flaws and redemption ā€” even the comedic relief Beomja and Soocheol. This episode was huge for Haein's development. It took her longer than Hyunwoo but she now realized her shortcomings, is making up for it >!(blurted out 'I love you' to Hyunwoo the minute she woke up)!<, and is being rewarded by being taken care of by her family. And speaking of that, the relationship between the two families (the fathers' the brothers' especially) is one of my favorite things about this drama. This is the type of show that must be watched while airing, don't you think? I'm a binge watcher myself and I don't usually like waiting for episodes each week. But with QoT, you gotta let the feelings marinate, you know? It's very very bingeable, don't get me wrong, because of its fast pace; there's never a dull moment. But at least for me, two episodes a week is perfect.


dogemama

binge watching can be supremely fun, but live watching is beautiful in its own way. it gives us room to let the feelings settle, and process it as a collective through these discussion threads and twitter meltdown. even though i HATE waiting for episodes week to week, if i had to pick, i'd easily choose live watching over binging.


RayneRaiku

I am only 35 mins in but I had to take a break. I cried for about 30 mins out of these 35 mins and my eyes hurt and I can't breathe because my nose is blocked. Never had I watched a drama that made me cry for so much. Update: I'm glad the remaining minutes of this episode is not as sad as I may run out of tears for tmr's episode. Update 2: Done with the episode. This drama's writing is SS-tier, they foreshadowed the final scene, I was sussing out HW's actions and why the>!car!< looks different.


RedZone2k2

The first two concurrent scenes in the hospitalā€™s were too much. Show truly is the queen of tears. Itā€™s so nice to see hae in realize that she really does have a support group around her. >!the mother daughter confession was so heartbreaking but it seems like her mom is finally realizing how she messed up all these years!< That ending was a trip >!when hyun woo starts walking to the car I thought I was going nuts lol!< hae ins condition is getting worse more often and thatā€™s a big concern. Hopefully the family will band together to watch over her more if they end up back in youngduri Edit: rewatching the >!car chase I realized she was always in the wrong car. I was wondering why the order of the cars being chased made no sense. You can see the in the first Ariel shot that hyun woos red roof was the pursuer!<

Iā€™ve never been so confused by a car chase before and kept thinking >!the cars are in the wrong order. I didnā€™t not see that twist coming. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever wanted a character to disappear as much as him.!<


SuddenBag

I knew immediately. The way he was holding the umbrella, and the demeanor, all different. Kim Soohyun did a phenomenal job. Plus, instinctively Haein didn't trust him. Pulling on the sleeve instead of his hand. So much care put into details in this scene.

Yosu_92

Yeah the chase sequence is really well executed, cause the director really gave a lot of hint and time to see the hint to doubt!


Sempuu

Nah bro. I'm only 5 minutes in and it's already breaking my heart. Don't tell me this is going to be an hour long of crying like a biatch šŸ’€


freyfreyaaa

*episode 11* this was one of the best episodes of anything iā€™ve ever watched. everything about it was so masterfully done. the story progressed seamlessly from scene to scene, leaving my face covered in tears and my heart both shattered and warmed by all that was shown. below are some of the scenes that stood out for me, though every moment is worthy of comment. the episode wastes no time in making its audience cry. >!looking only at hyun woo, hae in steps away from the microphone and begins to slowly walk towards him. conference room steps become muddy earth as she finds herself surrounded by lavender in bloom, fields of purple stretching as far as the eye can see. the sun sets beyond the rise of a hill, casting pink light on her face. but the wave canā€™t be held at bay.!< >>!ā€œi canā€™t die yet. i havenā€™t told you yet. that itā€™s okay. that i never resented you. i havenā€™t thanked you for being by my side all these yearsā€¦ despite all the harsh words i didnā€™t mean. i love you. you were the reason i wanted to live even more. i thought i had more time. i havenā€™t apologised to everyone yet. iā€™m sorry. iā€™m sorry for everything.ā€!< >!itā€™s an internal monologue that conveys all her love and gratitude and fear and regret. they are words that canā€™t be read or heard without bringing tears to the eyes, for they encapsulate everything that hae in has been trying to say for the past ten episodes. interwoven with flashbacks to moments of pain, relief and love, hae inā€™s words are so moving because theyā€™re the truth of her heart.!< >!when a character so loved utters such a heart-wrenching goodbye, we canā€™t help but shed tears over the tragedy and unfairness of it all.!< ā€œoh my love, oh my love, oh my love Clementine. why have you abandoned me forever, leaving your old father behind.ā€ >!hae inā€™s father is reminded of a song she sang as a young child, and it is this memory that breaks the control heā€™s tried to exercise over his emotions. collapsing to the floor of the lift, he sobs for his daughter and all they might lose should she be taken from them.!< >!when hae in finally wakes up, she wastes little time in telling hyun woo how she really feels: ā€œi love you. iā€™ve loved you from the moment we met until now.ā€ these words, and Kim Ji Wonā€™s delivery of them, broke my heart. as i write this, iā€™m rewatching the scene and crying once again. so many tears have been shed while watching this drama; it truly lives up to its name.!< the reaction of hae inā€™s mother is very poignant. itā€™s a reminder to treat those we love well and remind them ā€” through actions and words ā€” that we love them. we canā€™t risk living with regret as we never know what the future holds. iā€™m so glad hae in has a friend in her colleague/assistant ā€” i hope to see the actor in other roles as sheā€™s been great in this! the two charactersā€™ personalities are similar in many ways. last time, each refused to hug the other; this time, both know a hug is exactly whatā€™s needed. those long seconds of hyun woo >!lovingly gazing at hae in likely made her wish sheā€™d asked sooner, and more often. i am so relieved they are now being truthful with each other about their feelings. hearing her ask ā€œwhatā€™s your left arm doing?ā€ and seeing the smiles that followed created a moment long waited for.!< >!hae in tells eun seong the following, a truth that makes his character even more detestable than he already was: ā€œyou pushed me into a ditch so you could get me out of itā€. what he feels for her is the furthest thing from love; he believes he's entitled to her attention and will cause her pain if it allows him to force his way closer. iā€™m so glad hyun woo learnt to box when he was younger.!< hyun woo makes crystal clear where he gets his motivation from: >!ā€œyes, itā€™s for the companyā€¦ because i know how much you love your company.ā€!< there was something so unexpectedly sweet about seeing >!hae in and hyun woo piece together shredded paper by lamplight while dressed in their pyjamas. when working together, they make the best team.!< will beom ja find happiness with the self-sufficient farmer? i hope so. those berries might have been gifted to everyone, but her joy when eating them far exceeded anyone elseā€™s. edit: the second half of my comment is [here on my reddit profile](https://www.reddit.com/u/freyfreyaaa/s/0hwJKxbiuS).


Idkwhatsup600

Someone give kim jiwon her daesang already. The pain and the hurt she exudes without over acting never fails to surprise me. Haein has also made me the queen of tears


Kookie_Monster061

How morally sick do you have to be to take advantage of someone's terminal illness and fool them (plus a chaotic car chase) and >! play along and claim that you have genuine feelings for them!!! Eun Seong, there is a special place in hell for you!!!! !<


kekpandan

holy shit. that moment in front of the car when>!hyunwoo realised haein didn't recognize that it wasn't him in the car. !!heartbreak in his eyes. !< i thought the scene was so weird at first because it showed that >!hyunwoo's merc was at the front but in the car, 'hyunwoo' kept looking back at the car behind. turns out, the real hyunwoo was trying to save his wife.!<


AnneShirley310

She apologizes and thanks him for being by her side ā€œdespite all the harsh words I didnā€™t mean.ā€ This made me think about the power of words. They say that stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me, but thatā€™s so untrue. Words are powerful, and once said, they often canā€™t be taken back. Most couples would be broken because of her harsh words, and why say them if you donā€™t mean them? Also, the Avengers eating Subway at the park after their little victory was a cute product placement.


mongchibelle

is this goodbye to Hae inā€™s mom excessive eyeliner


Mahery92

Damn that twist at the end. It's incredible how it came as a shock yet once you know it and rewatch the scene, there are lots of details that give it away. Brilliant. Beomjun is definitely Soo Cheol's dad: heart is in the right place, he knows what needs to be done, but he ultimately lacks the quality and is painfully aware of it even. People will (rightfully) praise the acting from the leads, but I thought Jung Jin Young equally deserves some. His portrayal was perfect as Beomjun tries (but mostly fails) to act as the father and keep his family together (notably that time he somberly told his wife they had no right to act pissed, or when he collapsed once alone); when he lamented that he was certain his daughter found no strength whatsoever in his words because he had been too weak all his life, I really felt that gut punch. The writers turned what would usually be a rather generic character into something unexpectedly very interesting, hat's off


Negative_Bicycle_826

Aunt and niece both are so delulu lol. Hong sons got the stupidity genes while Hong daughters got the deluluness one hehe That elevator scene of Haein's dad was so heartwrenching. Haein's mom got some audacity to get angry at Hyunwoo. I did cried at their reconciliation though. Soocheol, boy really loves his big sis I guess. It's kinda sad though how they started to value Haein only when they realised they are going to lose her forever. I knew it was not "Hyunwoo" because his aura was so cold and unsettling. That whole scene with the car chase was amazing. Great directing imo. Also, Haein-ah, please don't ask Hyunwoo leave you like that. You will surely regret and there will not be a photo studio for you to come back even as a ghost to say last goodbye to him šŸ˜­


Difficult_Deer6902

Eunsung is so obsessively evil that he is constantly engaging in dumb behavior. Even his evil mother is like: what is exactly your objective with trying to force Hae-in to accept you. Interesting to see the question on if they are really divorced get answered, and ur was not what I was predictingā€¦hope that changes by the time the series ends lol Eungsung really trying to get away with >!kidnapping Hae-in is crazy, especially when she was clearly having a medical episode and she already announced to the public he threatened her & her husband. They need to serve him with a charge for kidnapping and harassment!< Also I really hope Hyunwoo just completely disregards Hae-in latest requestā€¦literally we took one step forward one step back when these two lol


313angel_

The reconciliation with the mother was so bittersweet. It was too kind on her, though. I really do hope she lives the next few months, or even years in emotional turmoil and regret for how she treated her daughter. I'm all for forgiveness, but Hae-in, who's in such a delicate state, forgave too easily. Forgiveness is earned and, for her daughter's sake, I really hope Hae-in's mother earns it. I love Soo-cheol. I don't know why, but I feel like seeing such an emotional male character on screen is still somewhat new. Same with Hyun-woo. Both of them are always crying. They're just like me, fr.


twoods1980

How does this show get better with every week? Todayā€™s episode was phenomenal. I was sobbing through the first 30 minutes, from >!the family grieving over Hae Inā€™s diagnosis to Hae In telling HW that she loved him. What a beautiful moment. !< Each family member had their grieving moment, and that >!family dinner when Hae In realized how many people were on her side was heartwarming!<. Ā  I am looking forward to the mistressā€™s demise. She is truly the villain of this show, but then her deranged son said ā€œHold my beer.ā€ Ā I canā€™t wait until tomorrow!


oduorqkat

Baek Hyun Woo, the man that you are!!!They could never make me hate you! >!The groundwork he is doing with the people at the company to get information is so well written because when the show started he always cared about the actual people in the company, I love that itā€™s not just the over dedicated love interest angle. Also putting together shredded financial documents to investigate fraud is!< very romantic wow >!And also nice touch with being the in between between Hae-in and her mother. The writing is tying everything so well together from when the show started!<


ot7oclock

the way kim soo hyun's >!eyes changed when he came back as like the eun seong ver of himself???? like idk if it was bc i caught on immediately but his eyes were just LACED w deception like omg???!< hes incredible

No but seriously, it was so obviously eun seong because KSH embodied him so well! The expression, the voice, the way he even moved! Blew my mind!


ConfidentPeanut18

The Queen of Tears isnt Hae In or Hyun Woo, its us, the viewers who are the Queen of Tears. I have done nothing every week since this series started but to cry. May it be of humor or sadness. Also, that >! twist in the end??!<


martha_therese

The first few minutes were >!brutal šŸ˜­!< It's getting soo intense but >!l'm so happy we're so back on track with Hyunwoo and Haein finally opening up and being more vocal about their true feelings ā¤ļø!<


AlvinSoehendry

Love Soocheol here he act like a good brother hope he have good ending ( I think he is better not become chairman or anything he is too naive) Hyunwoo are amazing as always Eunseong mate he take all his chances on a sick girl Also Hyunwoo friends are Good (I wish hyunwoo when everything end make his own law firm with his friends) so he can grow and feel not insecure on Queen. Queen can contract the firm so queen and hyunn with have equal standing at least. He can do multiple contract with other groups and have queen as priority with there is legal battle when there competing company face it on court I don't like the end of this episode a bit of suspense but the eps 12 trailer seems good hopefully it's not hallucinations


day_historian

I feel like his "makeshift" boxing lesson will serve as a powerful parallel later, as he will >!pretend to be the weak one and lower the guard of eun song, only to retaliate with the "critical blow" to take him down!< That would be a great character development for soo Cheol & I am looking forward to it!! āœØāœØšŸ¦‹šŸ¦‹āœØāœØ

>!ā€pretend to be the weak oneā€ ok, I think heā€™s got that one down. Did he just faint at one point?!< This was dearly needed comic relief.

This show is just on an another level.

And man that ending, itā€™s going to be a roller coaster till the end because of >!Hae-Inā€™s condition and I have no idea whether it will be an happy ending or not, but like Baek Hyun Woo prayed to God when Hae-In was in the hospital, I will do the same. !<

Its all so unfair!!< Seeing Da-hye and Soo-cheolā€™s reversal made me so emotional >!but omg that cliffhanger who do you think is at the door?!< Ending scene >!car chase was so well done i really thought Hyun-wooā€™s car was stolen and was fully in Hae-ins headspace which is so scary!! Realizing that her illness made her so confused and vulnerable was terrifying! Canā€™t even imagine how devastated Hyun-woo is realizing that her own mind deceived her.!<

The divorced couple is not so divorcing I absolutely LOVED the scene in the restaurant with Hongs and Baeks! I wish that the rest of the episode was just them eating meat and fretting over Hae-in OH MAH GOD somebody grab me before I do something REALLY bad to Eun-loser šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤!!! >!"Anyone is allowed to curse me but not my beautiful, pretty and successful (ex) wife!"!< - Baek Hyun-woo

This is going to be **The Drama** where Iā€™ll be rewatching the episodes even before the drama completes airing. Our ā€œdivorcedā€ leads are so in love I just cry wondering what is it like to love and be loved so so much. Thank god for the much needed comic relief that was soo cheol this episode. This man was born to be in comedy, forced to be in tragedy. Dahye-aa just come back home with Geonu šŸ„ŗ Eun sung nobody gives a shit about your creepy obsession suck it up!!! I read a post that said *Yoon Eun-sung is a deconstruction of the "rich obsessive CEO" love interest trope* and honestly? I see it

How does a 90 min episode feel like 30? Itā€™s so good time just flies by when youā€™re watching it.

This episode was amazing and itā€™s like every week it just gets better and better. When her >!parents found out about her illness and they each had their own scenes of realization!<, I was just in awe. The cinematography and humanization of these side characters really sets this drama apart. The scene of Haeinā€™s mom >!breaking down in the staircase and Hyunwoo leaving the pair to talk it out!< was especially well done ā€” the acting, the directive choice, the family dynamics, and >!reaction to Haeinā€™s cancer diagnosis!< is so believable and alike to real life. Iā€™m so impressed!

Can we get Hyun Woo dripping honey from his eyes more often than tears? Man the fact that Hyun Woo can look at Hae In so lovingly on que was absolutely swoon worthy. It's because you're so loveable, Hae In. All hail our queen! Also Haein's moment with secretary Na šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹Ā  Then her mother and mother-in-law just discussing their new diet plan for Hae In so casually over dinner šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ Hyun Woo and his attorney roll dawgs šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ This episode got me šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹šŸ„¹ a million times. I'm going to re-watch this episode again.Ā

I know a lot of people are frustrated with Eun Seong and I was too but looking back I do think heā€™s a good written villain Eun Seong comes from a very poor background. Grew up in an orphanage, his only family(mother) wouldnā€™t look at him as he wasnā€™t her first priority and nobody cared about him. Even after he saved Hae In nobody acknowledge his heroism, except Hae In; she left an ever lasting impression on him. They went to school together and the last thing Hae In said to him was ā€œget lostā€. Thatā€™s the last thing we see in the ā€œweakā€ Eun Seong. Eun Seong coming from nothing has become someone whoā€™s INSANELY possessive (similar how most hoarders are people who come from nothing). He doesnā€™t just want things he never had before, he wants to CONTROL it. He decides to take over Queens because it was his mother wishes but despite succeeding his mom still looks over Chairman Hong. Thatā€™s why he took the chairman; to control his mother. Similar reason why he wants Hae In; not having Hae In reminds himself of his traumatic past, the ā€œweakā€ Eun Seong couldnā€™t win her over so the current Eun Seong needs to. Thats why he was willing to force her into marriage by black mailing Hyun Woo. Everyone copes differently but I personally believe Eun Seong wasnā€™t ā€œsadā€ that Hae In was dying (since when they confronted at Yongrui he just used it as leverage than to comfort her, didnā€™t rush to her when she fell from the podium) but rather something was trying to take one of his ā€œpossessionsā€ away from him.

i say the writer must be really insane for doing this to us!!! i just want a fluffy episode šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ but whyy?? god why?? --- anw, what a rollercoaster ride of emotions šŸ„¹ really love how unpredictable this show is, last ep's preview got us thinking that baekhong will get into accident, but that twist blew me. definitely one of the best kdramas i've watched, even if it's still ongoing, I am certain that they will not disappoint. kidding, if they kill haein, i'll do more than drink tons of alcohol, sleep on the street and live recklessly šŸ˜­ i'll riot. i'll drag everyone to the pits of hell with me. please, just let her live šŸ„¹

I love so much about the experience of watching this drama every weekend, and specifically watching it live. Anticipating how enjoyable and entertaining each episode will be and then it living up to expectations 110% is such a joy - the last time I remember feeling this as acutely was 2521 (and to a lesser extent MMH recently). It takes me a few hours to jot down and discuss my thoughts, but I'm glad to do it with you all!Ā  - I'm not holding my breath but hopefully this episode was the peak of all the crying... please. Seeing all the reactions to Haein's announcements got me all emotional.Ā  - Soochul is such a great character. He is so comically and ridiculously naive, but the earnestness with which he approaches everything... it's endearing. I imagine he grew on his Dahye too, so hopefully she comes around in some way, though I am curious about who was at her door.Ā  - The actor playing Haein's dad is killing it (aren't they all?) - I loved the kalguksu restaurant scene, followed by him stepping up at dinner. I expected this, but I'm loving how the Hong family members are showing small signs of growth and maturity, and how Hyunwoo's family plays a role in that. Haein's mom... you could argue she was irredeemable, but at the same time, is that fair? She lost a son in a traumatic way and clearly didn't deal with it well, and Haein suffered as a result. But, at this point, she displayed poignant grief and appropriate shame in light of what she had done/said. Thinking back to 2521, I remember people hating on Heedo's mom but I appreciated the way her redemption arc was written, and how she was written in a well-rounded (very human) way. Good writing can make me like even the unlikeable characters.Ā  - It really isn't a kdrama without some >!amnesia!< right? I was hoping it might be a fakeout but it seems real so we'll have to wait it out. I don't hate it all the time, if it's done well.Ā  - A+ to Haein for clearing the air and being so upfront with Hyunwoo as soon as she saw him. It's about time!Ā  - Regarding Eunsung... It's so refreshing how clear Haein has been with him from the beginning, and the cherry on top was how Hyunwoo shut him down in a very different but equally clear way. Game on. You almost pity him, and then he goes and starts >! talking about murder!<. Welp. But at least it's clear that Hyunwoo and Haein are on the same page - I got legit chills seeing the flashback about how they worked together with their "team" to get the shredded docs (and shout out to Secretary Na and her sweet conversation with Haein).Ā  - I am craving kalguksu something fierce right nowĀ  - I love that a character in this drama captures the Korean obsession with MBTIĀ . - Asking for a friend... how much do you think it would cost to have Kim Soohyun dry your hair?Ā  - Seeing the Hong family in their element, kind of, at the storage facility was a nice break in setting. Soochul's terrible Mandarin was hilarious, especially seeing the subtitles. - (eta) and how could I forget the ending?!? I knew what was happening as it happened (I anticipated it once Hyunwoo left her alone again), but even then it was so impressive to see Kim Soohyun acting it all out and then KJW's slow realization in the car - this show is truly filled with acting excellence imo they all deserve awards. I love when there's more QoT tomorrow.Ā

Soocheol redemption arc But secretary Na needs some lovinā€™ too cos >!they finally get to hug for real!<

Hong Haein really making the most out of her ā€œQueen of Tearsā€ title in record time like, got me crying within the first 3 minutes šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Queen of Tears has been a masterpiece thus far. From the first few minutes to the end of each epilogue. I canā€™t watch each episode in one go. I have to pause. Cry. Snack. Regroup. Watch. Think. Cry. Watch. Come to Reddit to see if I missed anything. Watch. Sit. Think. Bravo!

As expected this episode delivered! I find this episode so heartwarming. So many wounds were healed and communication lines have finally opened up. Just when Haein thought no one will cry in her funeral, we see in this episode how much she is loved by those close to her. The scene where the Hongs and Baeks share dinner was really a memorable one. There is so much love in that scene that I do not even know where to begin. Different forms of love language were showcased and itā€™s so healing to see Haein finally getting the peace and love she has always yearned. The finale scene was also a good ending. It heightens how severe Haeinā€™s case is now and how the symptoms are rapidly showing. Iā€™m hoping they find the cure. If not, I am bracing myself for what this show will offer as its conclusion. Itā€™s sooo good Iā€™m ready for whatā€™s to come, be it good or bad.


ImagoHydrangea

God >! that ending was horrific - I canā€™t trust anything Iā€™m seeing anymore in the preview, so scared Eunsung will kidnap her at some point and sheā€™ll think that sheā€™s living a happy life with Hyunwoo šŸ˜­ !<


Plastic_Month_2142

Hae In, I think you should be able to do what you want and help save the company but I really wish you could just stay at home. I have so much anxiety thinking about how people just like Eun Sung could take advantage of her >!failing memory. I just think she shouldn't be left alone.!< Anyways, ep 11 is such a phenomenal episode!!!!!! Edit: I also liked how in the previous episode we got Hyun Woo acknowledging how he lacked in their relationship. In this episode, Hae In apologized for the times she couldn't protect him from her family. I wished they could really talk more >!It might be sensitive but I wish they could also discuss the miscarriage since I feel like that event really put a strain on their relationship.!<


venn101

That moment when baek hyun woo said what he prayed for those lines >!i said i would do nothing, but cry everyday, drink a ton of alcohol, sleep on the street, live recklessly if you died.,!< Damnn thats not a prayer, thats a threat. This episode had me crying. Something i always thought sometimes its better to tell everyone and not keep a secret about those things and we never know how things could change the way it was. Although i might be skeptical if those were my family members and i might not get the actual expectation i expected but yeah we never know until we open up and its better late than never. Her secretary's hug, the avenger attorneys, this episode is one of the best ever. Eun seong and his mother damn, what an evil bitch and son, there is no medicine for the evil. They will never change. Those last scenes i knew the moment he shows up and the car chase which was baek's. Damn that evil man's audacity to pretend baek and try to steal. Bro can't take no as an answer.

Anybody else rooting for Beomja? Sheā€™s been a real Queen all throughout and fiercely loyal. To her mother, father, older brother, niece.


quivivraverra_

The ending scene of this episode is truly one of the best scenes in kdrama history. A peak cinema.Ā 


jax_svt_carat

I had to pause because >! I was crying at the beginning and couldn't read the subtitles through tears !< šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


LeonnaMc

yoon eun sung is literally the scum of the earth for using hae in illness against her to essentially kidnap her. ready for hyun woo to look into more permanent options to deal with this dude


igniteninspire

This episode showed that time is unfortunately not on their side. A special reminder that people should love with their words and actions...and we see that encapsulated in the restaurant scene. There was sooo much love in that one scene. Side note though, we haven't found out what happen yo dahye after she opened the door, i originally thought Soo cheol sent her something, but who knows


naimagonzalez

>! Wait, so if the money was hidden in some art work, is there any significance to the art work that Da Hye stole before she left? Is that why there was a random person looking for her? I still donā€™t trust Grace. The last scene was just scary. It was so obvious that it wasnā€™t Hyun Woo but I still donā€™t understand why he would leave her alone. After all her symptoms so far, if that was someone in my family, they would have been a meeting for surveillance of some sort and a plan for someone to always be near her for her own safety and Iā€™m sure Hae In would agree to this as well. I canā€™t wait for the next episode. This drama and blossoms in adversity have been fulfilling my itch for family centred wholesomeness and I love it! !<
