SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: 'Queen of Tears', the captivating Korean rom-com, is nearing its climax. The series, starring Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won, has kept audiences glued to their screens with its intricate plot of love, betrayal, and the fight for memory.

Episode 15 of 'Queen of Tears' throws viewers into a thunderstorm of emotions as Hae-in and Hyun-woo's relationship took a dramatic turn with Hae-in's memory loss. 

Despite her coldness, a glimmer of their past love emerges during a surprise visit to the aquarium. It turns out Hae-in planned an outing before surgery as a symbolic wedding ceremony. This tender moment plants a seed of doubt in Hae-in's mind, urging her to question Eun-seong's narrative.

The seed takes root when Hae-in stumbles upon a crucial piece of evidence – a video of her grandfather's final moments before his coma which was in the device of Eun-seong. His presence during this critical time raises suspicion.

Faced with this revelation, Hae-in avoids answering Eun-seong's marriage proposal, leaving their future uncertain. Back home, a package from Germany arrives containing Hae-in's diary (which Eun-seong left to burn), filled with memories she shared with Hyun-woo.
