Episode 2 of Queen of Tears takes a shocking turn, revealing a twisted web of emotions beneath the surface of Baek Hyun-woo's sudden affection for his ailing wife, Hong Hae-in.

The episode unfolds with a chilling revelation. Despite professing his love, Hyun-woo harbors a dark and secret desire – the death of Hae-in. As Hae-in undergoes a disconcerting hallucination, a glimmer of hope flickers in his eyes. However, his relief turns to fear when she fails to respond.

Hyun-woo's facade of a devoted husband kicks in. He showers Hae-in with flowers and ensures her comfort, all while maintaining his secret agenda. The deal is sealed during their hospital visit. Touched by his attentiveness, Hae-in pleads with him to keep her illness a secret.

Hyun-woo performs for family and colleagues, concealing his true feelings beneath a mask of concern. However, a doctor's remark about miraculous recoveries throws him into a panic. The very outcome he longed for now becomes a terrifying possibility

While Hyun-woo desperately searches online for statistics on miraculous recoveries, Hae-in stumbles upon his secret investigation. Her suspicions, once a nagging feeling, now solidify into a harsh truth.

Observing his genuine concern, however misguided, becomes a source of hope for Hae-in—a stark contrast to the negativity she feels from her family.

Hyun-woo is left reeling, his web of lies exposed. Hae-in, empowered by her newfound certainty, embraces life with renewed optimism. The episode leaves viewers with a chilling question: will Hae-in confront Hyun-woo, and how will he react to his exposed duplicity?

The first two episodes of 'Queen of Tears' are available to stream on Netflix.
