SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Forget fluffy rom-coms and follow the emotional rollercoaster of 'Queen of Tears'. This series throws out the happily-ever-after wedding life and instead deals with the raw reality of a marriage on the brink.

Just as Baek Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun) and Hong Hae-in's (Kim Ji-won) world seems destined to crumble, a life-altering revelation throws them a lifeline.

In Episode 7, Hae-in signs divorce papers but takes control of the timing. She torments Hyun-woo at work with her fashion and attitude.

'Queen of Tears' takes a sharp turn in the latest episode, as Hae-in signs divorce papers with a twist! She sets the rules now, making Hyun-woo stay put until she decides to file the papers in the court.

Devoted (or maybe a little scared?), Hyun-woo agrees, as long as she stays away from Yoon Eun-seong.

Hae-in, back in her revenge mode, starts rocking the office in glamorous outfits, especially a killer red number with gold jewelry. Employees in the office tremble seeing her in fabulous attire.

Over the next few days, she unleashes her wrath, making Hyun-woo's life a living nightmare at work. The office gets divided, everyone scrambling to avoid both.

Meanwhile, Hae-in's father hires detectives, who discover Hyun-woo isn't seeing anyone else.

He just hangs out alone, spending money predictably. He even has a soft spot for stray cats and enjoys 'grandma's home cooking.'

Hae-in, through her own investigation, uncovers Hyun-woo's secret act of kindness: sending flowers to Queen Group employees' funerals in her name.

Touched but not ready to forgive, she declares his efforts fruitless.

'Queen of Tears' is available for streaming on Netflix
