Kim Soo-hyun ♥ Kim Ji-won, it was fate from the beginning
In the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Queen of Tears' (written by Park Ji-eun/directed by Jang Young-woo and Kim Hee-won/produced by Studio Dragon, Culture Depot, Showrunners), Baek Hyun-woo (played by Kim Soo-hyun) and Hong Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won) captivate viewers with their inseparable bond. It's making you empathize. Accordingly, we looked at the romance timeline of Baek Hong (short for Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in), who have gradually built up feelings of love at every moment of their lives.
The relationship between Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in has been going on for a very long time. Baek Hyun-woo, who was a child Marine when he was young, accidentally saved the life of a Red Sea man who fell into the sea. However, Baek Hyeon-woo did not know the name of the rescued child, and Hong Hae-in believed that the person who helped her was her dead brother, so the two had a fateful first meeting without knowing each other.
After the first meeting that remained as a fleeting memory, the second meeting took place in high school. On the first day of transferring to the school, Baek Hyeon-woo, who bumped into Hong Hae-in in the school playground, wandered around looking for the school with the MP3 player that Hong Hae-in left behind, not knowing that she had gone to study abroad. The memory of his first love, which left a strong impression even in a short period of time, is exactly what is called the ideal type of a thousand years, and even after time had passed, it remained intact in one side of Baek Hyun-woo's drawer.
However, after a long time passed, Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in, who met again as interns, did not recognize each other as adults. Nevertheless, Baek Hyun-woo was consciously concerned about Hong Hae-in, who was a fellow intern, and Hong Hae-in was also secretly excited about Baek Hyun-woo. Hong Hae-in, who wanted to see Baek Hyun-woo a little more and always followed him down the street, had sweet affection on his face, making the viewers' hearts flutter.
Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in, who finally started dating, enjoyed their alone time at a place considered a popular date spot thanks to Hong Hae-in's incredible wealth. Baek Hyun-woo, who did not notice that Hong Hae-in's help was there, was amazed and said, "It feels like the whole universe is helping us be alone," and took advantage of the atmosphere to make a sincere proposal, making Hong Hae-in's heart flutter.
Contrary to expectations, due to a difficult marriage, the couple grew apart to the point where they considered divorce, but their relationship became stronger as they overcame the crisis together. Even after the divorce, Baek Hyun-woo tried to help his wife who was in danger, and Hong Hae-in also revealed her weaknesses in front of everyone to protect her husband who was in trouble, and their pure love was touching.
In particular, Baek Hyun-woo expressed his unwavering affection by proposing again to remain 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 that even her beloved husband was confused, also 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 their normal daily lives with their love and trust in each other as their driving force. I wonder whether lovers Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in, who are facing each other and moving in the same direction, will be able to overcome the crisis and continue to love together.
tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Queen of Tears' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM.
