SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Tensions are high in the Hong household! In the latest episode of 'Queen of Tears', Hong Soo-cheol's (Kwak Dong-yeon) dream project, a giant skyscraper, faces a major roadblock when the army base next door refuses to relocate.

Just when all hope seems lost, Baek Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun), with his past military experience, swoops in and saves the day. But their celebration is short-lived. The company's financial manager gets caught up in trouble, causing investors to pull out.

Yoon Eun-seong (Park Sung-hoon) enters the scene and miraculously provides a new investor, securing the project once again.

However, Hyun-woo harbors deep suspicion toward Eun-seong and tries to warn Hong Man-dae. Unfortunately, the chairman, already frustrated with Hyun-woo's past blunders, refuses to listen.

Hong Soo-cheol's plan to build a giant skyscraper is in big trouble in Episode 8 of 'Queen of Tears'. The army base next door won't move, and that blocks the whole project!

Luckily, Hyun-woo, who used to be in the army, comes to the rescue. He talks to the soldiers and figures out a new plan, saving the day for Soo-cheol (for a little while).

But just when things seem okay, another problem pops up! The company's financial manager gets in trouble, and suddenly all the investors who were going to give Soo-cheol money change their minds and say no way! It seems like everything is falling apart.

That's where Yoon Eun-seong comes again! He shows up just in time with a brand new investor, ready to give Soo-Cheol the money he needs. The Chairman is happy and almost signs the papers, but then Hyun-woo stops him.

Hyun-woo reveals that he doesn't trust Eun-seong, and he tries to warn the chairman. But Man-dae is mad at Hyun-woo for all the problems that happened before.

He tells Hyun-woo that he's had too many chances and won't listen to him anymore. So, with this deal, Eun-seong wins again.

Because Hyun-woo won't quit his job, Hae-in's family is mad at him. However, Hae-in thinks Hyun-woo should fight back and she is not yet ready to give up on him so easily.

Hyun-woo meets with Hae-in's aunt Hong Beom-ja, and guess what? They both have the same idea! They both suspect that Moh Seul-hee might be lying about something.

It appears Hyun-woo and Hae-in's aunt might be on to something big!
