The premiere episode of 'Queen of Tears' establishes a seemingly perfect couple, Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in, riddled with unspoken tension beneath the surface. We begin with a glimpse into their past, a whirlwind romance that defied societal expectations.
Hyun-woo, an entry-level employee, falls for Hae-in, unaware of her status as the heiress of the Queens Group Department Stores. However, upon discovering her identity, he mysteriously disappears from her life. Hae-in, a powerful businesswoman, relentlessly pursues him, culminating in their grand 'wedding of the century.'
Fast forward to the present. The once passionate couple now inhabits separate rooms and lives. Hyun-woo, the legal team leader, feels stifled by the family dynamics, constantly treated as an outsider despite his marriage to the CEO. Hae-in, on the other hand, exudes an air of control and independence.
An unexpected twist stops the divorce

The episode cleverly utilizes contrasting conversations between the couple to reveal the disparity in their perspectives. While Hyun-woo reminisces fondly about their initial connection, Hae-in remembers their first encounter with a hint of manipulation.
The cracks in their relationship become evident as Hyun-woo contemplates divorce. He feels unappreciated and longs for a life where his voice is heard. However, fear of Hae-in and her influential family halts his actions. Just as he prepares to confront her with divorce papers, a bombshell drops. Hae-in reveals she has a terminal illness with only three months to live.
This unexpected twist throws Hyun-woo's plans into disarray. He abandons his divorce intentions, offering comfort and apologizing for his behavior.
