A viewership rating of 20% is a waste... ‘Queen of Tears’ faces a frustrating ending
In the 15th episode of the tvN 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, Baek Hyun-woo (played by Kim Soo-hyun) and Hong Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won) faced another crisis.
Hong Hae-in lost his memory after undergoing surgery in Germany, and Yoon Eun-seong (Park Seong-hoon) manipulated Hong Hae-in's memories. Hong Hae-in had no choice but to rely on Yoon Eun-seong's words as both the attending doctor and the nurse changed. Yoon Eun-seong turned Baek Hyun-woo into an ex-husband who cheated on him, divorced him, and stalked him, while he portrayed himself as a pure man who even injured his hand while trying to save Hong Hae-in.
As time passed, Hong Hae-in happened to receive a parcel containing a diary he had used in the past. Yoon Eun-seong tried to burn this diary in Germany, but failed.
After viewers crossed one wall of 'Baek Hyun-woo going to jail', they faced another wall called a traffic accident. Viewers who were waiting for a happy ending were met with a bleeding Baek Hyun-woo just before the end.
