'Queen of Tears' Episode 2 throws a wrench into the narrative with the revelation of Hae-in's terminal illness. This diagnosis clashes with Hyun-woo's sudden desire for a divorce, leaving viewers to question his sincerity.
However, his actions during their annual family hunting trip hint at a potential shift.
Previously, Hyun-woo displayed indifference towards hunting and killing animals. However, this year, a strange aggression emerged. This change could be attributed to the presence of Hae-in's ex-boyfriend, Eun Sung, who subtly questioned Hyun-woo's commitment to his wife.
