‘Queen of Tears’ Kim Ji-won regains Kim Soo-hyun’s memory and faces another crisis… highest 26.8%

As fate would have it, Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won are running towards each other again.

In the 15th episode of tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Queen of Tears’ (written by Park Ji-eun, directed by Jang Young-woo and Kim Hee-won), which aired on the 27th, a red flag appeared in front of Baek Hyun-woo (played by Kim Soo-hyun), who was on his way to the side of his loved one, and Hong Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won), who regained the only reason for living. It was turned on and it was sad.

The viewer ratings for the 15th episode of ‘Queen of Tears’ soared to an average of 23.9% and a peak of 26.8% for households in the metropolitan area, and an average of 21.1% and a peak of 24% for households nationwide. It swept first place in the same time slot on all channels, including terrestrial channels, both in the metropolitan area and nationwide.

The viewership ratings for men and women in 2049, which is tvN’s target, recorded an average of 8.6% and a maximum of 9.4% in the metropolitan area, and 8.9% and a maximum of 10% nationwide. It ranked first in the same time slot on all channels, including terrestrial channels, both in the metropolitan area and nationwide (based on Nielsen Korea’s paid platform integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite).

Baek Hyun-woo, who was falsely accused of murder and imprisoned in a Korean detention center, had a heavy heart because he could not keep his promise to Hong Hae-in to be by his side after surgery. When Hong Hae-in, who returned to Korea from Germany, came to see him, Baek Hyun-woo’s face showed longing, but there was still a wall between the two due to Yoon Eun-seong’s (Park Seong-hoon) close relationship.

As promised to Hong Hae-in, Baek Hyun-woo collected evidence step by step to protect her, and through the trial, he completely proved his innocence and became free. He resolutely returned to work for Hong Hae-in, who returned to the Queens Department Store, despite the harsh looks from people, and even though he only said sharp words, he also got a chance to have a private conversation with the person he loved.

Starting with Baek Hyun-woo’s visit, Hong Hae-in slowly infiltrated the relationship without even realizing it. He coldly told them that they would never see him again, and the Hong Hae people’s attention was focused on Baek Hyun-woo, and they began to be curious about Baek Hyun-woo’s every move, including secretly following him out of the detention center and going all the way down to Yongduri, and even analyzing his eating habits.

While maintaining an awkward distance, Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in reached a turning point when they met at an aquarium containing memories of their past proposals. Before undergoing surgery, Hong Hae-in prepared an event to commemorate accepting Baek Hyun-woo’s request to cancel the divorce. When Hong Hae-in was confused by the letter left by her past self, Baek Hyun-woo woke her up to reality, saying, “Don’t believe anything and have some doubts.”

Baek Hyun-woo’s words sprouted doubts about Yoon Eun-seong in Hong Hae-in’s mind. Contrary to what Yun Eun-seong said when he was in Germany, he broke a window while trying to save himself, Hong Hae-in made a strange expression when he saw that his hands were clean without any wounds or scars. Baek Hyun-woo’s scarred hand that he encountered at the aquarium, the event prepared by his past self, and his heart fluttering every time he saw Baek Hyun-woo, all pointed to Baek Hyun-woo as the man whom Red Sea People loved in the past.

The notebook that Hong Hae-in wrote himself with the hope that it would serve as a compass for his life after losing his memory opened the door to the relationship between Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in. Hong Hae-in, who read the letter left by his past self and realized that everything Baek Hyun-woo said recently was a reply to him, shed tears of regret and guilt and immediately went to see Baek Hyun-woo.

Baek Hyun-woo also received a call from Hong Hae-in and was running to Hong Hae-in. The moment the eyes of the two people who stopped running for a moment at the red light of the traffic light met, Hong Hae-in, who was in Baek Hyun-woo’s field of vision, suddenly disappeared, surprising everyone. Baek Hyun-woo also collapsed in an unexpected accident and his anxiety soared. People are curious about whether Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in will be able to meet again and the ending of the two people, who are gradually reaching their climax.

The final episode of ‘Queen of Tears’ will air today (28th) at 9:10 PM.
