QUEEN OF TEARS

THREE YEARS AGO

I mean, this is our honeymoon.

Why did you want to visit a cemetery of all places?

You're really something.

I like how there's a cemetery in the middle of a park.

You're not buried in a mountain or scattered at sea.

You're resting near your home.

It makes death seem like nothing.

Perhaps.

Is it his wife's grave?

What? What do you mean?

The old man over there.

I don't see anyone.

He was just there.

Don't scare me like that.

You know

those husbands in movies

who bring their late wives flowers every day.

He looked like one.

Keep this in mind.

I won't do anything like that for you.

You won't?

If you die before I do,

I'm going to live one more day

and then follow you.

Whatever.

It's true.

How will I ever live without you?

Whatever.

I mean it.

That's enough.

We put emphasis on our happy moments.

But we don't know

what the future holds for us.

So we make promises we can't keep

and laugh as if these happy moments will last forever.

However, there is a dark side behind those radiant moments.

When the magical moments disappeared

and hardships made me want to give up,

a thought crossed my mind.

"Sure. I've experienced many misfortunes, but I still have you."

And that helped me endure.

However,

I had to make a brutal decision.

So…

you're telling me

to make a decision?

I'll lose my memory if I get it

and die if I don't.

Are you telling me to pick the lesser evil?

-No. -Then what?

Forget it.

I'll pretend like…

this was all a good dream.

Let me go. I said, let go.

Don't make a choice.

Don't think.

Just listen to me.

Just… live.

Do that.

Please…

live.

Okay?

Hae-in.

Please live.

At that moment, we had no idea

what was waiting for us on the other side.

EPISODE 14

-Where are you going? -To see Hae-in.

-She's in Germany for the surgery. -That's why.

Hyun-woo is there with her, so why would you go?

I have my own duties to fulfill.

Your duties and what you must protect lie here.

Why are you obsessing over a girl who's dying?

She's not dying.

The surgery will save her, and she'll forget all the bad memories.

She'll start anew.

Do you think she'll give you a chance?

Do you disagree?

Beom-seok is getting ready to take your spot.

Beom-jun has met directors who favor him since returning.

The stockholders' meeting is soon.

You're going to ruin this all just for Hae-in?

What's wrong with you?

You shouldn't have left me.

It's all because you abandoned me.

I wouldn't have been curious about how great this family was

for you to abandon your own son

or have been jealous of Hae-in and eventually…

fall in love with her.

What will it take for you to stop?

I can't stop.

Not until I die.

Fine.

Then let me help you.

Are you going to Frankfurt?

Yes.

BODY FOUND NEAR SAMBANG RESERVOIR IDENTIFIED AS PYEON

How did you find me?

You go out every morning, so I followed you.

At least you're trying hard.

For what?

You need to pray a lot if you want to go to Heaven.

That way, we'll even meet

in the afterlife.

Is it a given that you'll go to Heaven?

Isn't that obvious?

I wasn't praying so I'd go to Heaven.

Then?

I prayed that you'd get the surgery.

I told God I wouldn't ask that you remember everything.

I just prayed that you'd live.

What a useless prayer.

Let's go.

Should we write one too?

You'll write something useless.

Let's just go.

I've given you enough time to think.

We can't push it back any longer.

I booked an appointment, so let's go after breakfast.

We need to go somewhere.

Where?

Recognize this place?

We came on our honeymoon.

We did.

You said it was pretty and took tons of photos.

There was a pub nearby too.

We had beer and argued.

We did. You said I was too cute when I got drunk

and told me not to act cute.

No.

I remember vividly.

I told you only to be cute in front of me,

but all the girls were staring at you.

I didn't know that. Why? Because my eyes were only on you.

Is that so?

You said that then, and I wasn't mad anymore.

Not right away.

You sulked for about two hours.

Anyway…

We passed this place on our way back to the hotel

and saw a beautiful full moon.

You're right. It was big and gorgeous.

I still have the photo.

I still remember the smell,

the moon, and the wind

of that day.

That's what memories are.

Being alive means

I cherish those memories and draw strength from them.

So those memories define me

and my life.

And I'll be losing them.

This place will just become an ordinary field for me.

And you…

will become a stranger.

I'll no longer be myself.

That's why I'm not getting the surgery.

I've lived as myself,

and I'll die as such.

Gosh, Beom-ja. Are you insane?

What are you doing?

Where are you going? Back to Yongdu-ri?

Snap out of it. Go back home.

Hey, this is so wrong.

Let's just go shopping.

Let's go to a department store. Hi, Bixby.

-I'm listening. -Yongdu-ri.

I've gone insane.

I actually came back.

Is this your home?

I should've slashed my tires.

Gosh, you idiot!

-You startled me! -What are you doing here?

I know

you like walnut cakes.

-Do I? -Yes.

-I brought some for you. -I see.

But why are you here?

This is Yeong-song's house.

Really?

I got the wrong address.

Beom-ja.

What…

-Why-- -She came to see me.

She dotes on me.

Would you like to have some tea?

We have tasty plum tea.

-Should I-- -It's okay.

She came to see me. She got the wrong address.

I'll see you around. Let's go. It's cold.

-All right. -Still.

Have some tea even if you didn't come here for me.

Have some madeleines too. I just baked them.

Goodness.

Yeong-song.

Your view of life is so modern.

You only work the bare minimum?

We don't need much to live as we think we do.

-What else do you do then? -I read and listen to music.

I think I found it.

I always felt stifled and wanted to run away

when I lived in Seoul.

I'll stay here with Da-hye and Geon-u.

I'm going to work little

-and be very happy. -You?

-As if. -It'll be hard for you.

She's extremely materialistic unlike me.

Hey, I'm not.

You're wrong.

She only carries handbags worth tens of millions.

One ring costs the same as an entire apartment.

Do such rings exist?

And that's not all.

How much was that watch again?

-Two hundred million? -Hey!

I'm enjoying this too.

I like having homemade plum tea,

madeleines, and reading and listening to music without a worry in the world.

I see.

Yes, what is it?

All right. Bye.

Mom and Dad are here.

Why do they keep coming? Da-hye will feel uncomfortable.

I'll call you later.

-Okay. -Let's go, Aunt Beom-ja!

-I should get going then. -Okay.

Come by again.

Come again. I'll bake more madeleines.

I wanted to go back to the hotel.

The professor is waiting.

You should at least talk to him.

Your parents are waiting too.

They want to do a video call.

-Where's Da-hye? -She went out with Geon-u for a stroll.

It's cold out.

I think she was uncomfortable to see my parents.

Hey, are you not going to greet us?

What's this about?

Hae-in is refusing to get the surgery.

What?

She's refusing?

How about we tug at her heartstrings?

-Her heartstrings? -Let's beg.

"If you die, I'll die."

You don't know her well. She'll say, "Do as you please."

No way.

She'll know that we're bluffing. Threatening her won't work.

She's smart since she takes after me.

Then how about we take a logical approach?

How?

There are times when harvesting pears becomes difficult due to severe blight

even if we use expensive pesticides.

But their roots will rot if we don't spray them at all.

-You're at a crossroads. -Exactly.

Even though we anticipate a huge loss, we choose to spray them anyway

since we need to save the roots

for the upcoming year.

So you choose to save them despite suffering a loss. I like that.

Then let's do this.

First, we'll try to be logical.

If we fail, you'll step up and scold her.

"Take care of the body your parents gave you."

"I may not have given birth to you, but I'm still your father."

Then you can support him and say, "Let's just all die together."

And then… Okay.

-Hae-in. -Yes, Mother.

Ma'am, the pear story.

The pears. Pesticides.

Goodness.

I have a runny nose. You can go first.

Then I'll take over.

Hae-in, you should

think this through.

This will benefit you.

You'll lose your good memories, but the bad ones too.

Why do you think I drink?

I drown myself in alcohol to forget the painful memories.

But they keep coming back.

So wouldn't it be a good thing to forget them forever?

You're not persuading her.

Hae-in.

You must've been shocked.

Don't get mad at Hyun-woo. I told him to keep it from you.

I'm sorry we didn't tell you.

We were afraid you'd refuse to go.

It's okay.

I would've done the same.

After learning about your illness,

I reached out to hospitals around the world.

And they all said the same thing. They were already in touch with Hyun-woo.

He had sent

hundreds of emails

and called the U.S. and European hospitals in the middle of the night

to find labs or hospitals that could save you.

That's how he found that hospital.

So, Hae-in,

please think this through and…

Think? She should focus on living first.

Don't you agree?

Your memories won't matter if you die, right?

At least…

you'll remember me as a daughter who had a good relationship

with you.

But after the surgery,

I might turn into a stranger.

The Hae-in who used to argue so much with you

before tearfully reconciling will be gone.

I won't recognize you anymore.

Please understand.

I'm sorry.

Okay. Let's hang up.

Rest up, and we'll talk again soon. Okay?

-Wait-- -Why did you turn it off?

She didn't give us an answer yet.

Will you take responsibility if she refuses the surgery?

Gosh, did you really turn it off?

I wanted to talk to her too.

Why would you?

She already has a lot on her mind.

Are you crying, Dad?

He's crying.

You're making me cry now.

Goodness.

Everyone is crying.

Call her back and persuade her.

What can I say?

We should do something.

Geon-u.

Let's go around one more time.

What brings you here?

Shouldn't you apologize first?

-I guess you're not sorry. -Not to you.

But I'm sorry to my family.

Your family?

You're totally mistaken.

Da-hye.

Don't try to change.

But I want to.

No, do what you've always done

and scam those around you.

If not, that so-called family of yours

-will get hurt. -What do you mean?

Stay here if you're curious.

I came to warn you since I respect the history

we've shared together.

But…

I can't give you much time.

Give me the USB that you took from Jun-ho

and leave with your son.

You shouldn't have come here.

You should've just stayed in the U.S.

I get what you're saying,

so don't you dare harm Soo-cheol or my family.

I won't sit still if you do.

What'll you do?

I'll give the USB to the police or the prosecution.

Let's go down together.

You shouldn't say that as a mom.

Who'll look after Geon-u?

Will this family take care of a kid who's not theirs?

Hey!

Why are you out in the cold?

Geon-u might catch a cold.

Seon-hwa.

Do you even know who Da-hye really is?

It doesn't matter.

My son is refusing to let her go.

Hae-in.

I'm left with only two valuable things

in this life you've given me.

The memories of loving others

and being loved back.

I can't let go of them.

I won't ask you to save me.

But please,

let me cherish

these memories until my last breath.

Hae-in.

Hae-in, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't do this to me.

Don't make me want to live.

I won't be able to recognize you.

I'll become a stranger.

Even if that's the case,

I'll be the first person you meet.

Then you'll fall in love with me again.

Your heart will race again when I get drunk and act cute.

We can love once again.

I'll be by your side

even if…

you don't fall for me,

ignore me,

or…

dislike me.

I made a promise.

That I'd stay by your side…

even if you had debt…

or something more.

So…

don't worry

and just stay here, please.

Don't pray

about dying.

I'm terrified…

that it'll come true.

Hae-in.

I need to go to the toilet.

Go eat first.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

You never drink coffee on an empty stomach,

but you're having espresso?

Are you reading that English newspaper to look smart

while intentionally flexing your forearm muscles?

That's right.

Yes, I'm doing this intentionally.

Hold on.

Are you acting freely since we haven't registered our marriage?

You're married, so quit trying to impress others.

Roll down your sleeves, fasten the buttons,

and have some scrambled eggs with some ketchup.

I don't want to.

-Why not? -I'm going to get under your skin.

What?

You said I'd be a waste.

You'd be the biggest waste.

Did you

hear that?

I'm going to make it unbearable for you

to leave me behind.

I should have some fruit.

He'd still be the biggest waste.

The DNA test result is out.

The victim's blood was on the car seat and the murder weapon.

And the prints on the weapon?

Here it is. It's this guy.

Roll down your sleeves and button them.

You shouldn't show off your arms like that.

-It's my choice. -Hey.

Roll them down.

-No. -Do it.

I don't want to.

How's Ms. Hong's treatment going?

-Will she be reinstated? -Of course.

Will she take charge once again?

Well, I'm not sure about that.

We're all suffering here.

You can tell if a company is going down

based on the cafeteria and the pantry.

It did shock me when they got rid of the coffee machine.

Did you go to the cafeteria today?

They even stopped giving Yakult as dessert.

The company doesn't care about our gut health anymore.

I know our fates depend on our bosses, but shouldn't we do something?

I'm not sure

if Secretary Kim feels the same way.

-Why me? -You played

a key role in the current management.

You're mistaken. I just ran a few errands.

And you were rewarded.

I was.

-But it didn't feel good. -Why not?

Director Baek has been awfully kind and forgiving.

He paid for my sibling's college tuition, so I couldn't be too happy.

That's your guilt talking.

Not all rewards are great.

You're getting a call.

Hello?

Yes, it's me.

What? Where?

Pyeon Seong-uk was found dead.

He was murdered.

Are you serious?

The news broke out when you left for Germany.

I just found out too.

All right.

Sir, I tracked down the suspect.

What?

He fled to Frankfurt after the incident.

I tracked down

-his current location too. -Okay.

Let's request a warrant and send it to the Foreign Affairs Bureau.

It'll be a headache if he vanishes abroad.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

This should be confidential.

Don't let the media find out before we catch him.

Yes, sir. I'm aware.

-I met with Da-hye. -Sorry?

You could've just sent me.

I didn't know she was so dumb.

I told you.

-She fell for Soo-cheol. -So I called Jun-ho.

Why would you call that scumbag?

So he can take care of her?

I spared her out of pity, and she's causing problems.

I'll get rid of them one by one.

Did you send those men to Germany recently

to take care of someone?

They won't be coming back.

Wire them money when they call and find a place for them to stay.

Yes, ma'am.

Why won't they return?

How serious is their crime that they're not coming back?

Hey, Ko Jeong-ja.

Don't be naive. You know what's going to happen.

I think she's going to harm Hae-in.

60,000,000,000 WON

Get a grip.

No one is better than you at tolerating injustice.

Yes.

Just forget about it.

Hello?

Hello?

It's me, Grace.

Hello. What's this about?

I'm just saying hello.

Is everyone doing well?

-Sorry? -I guess they are.

I'm glad then.

Continue to stay safe until you return.

Goodbye, then.

Hae…

Hae-in…

Hae-in.

Hae-in.

Hae-in!

Hello? There's been a car accident.

I think it was a hit-and-run.

Hae-in…

Hae-in!

I reported it!

Oh, my God. Step back!

The car could explode! Get back!

Hyun-woo!

What's going on?

Calm down. Okay?

Did you get in a car crash? How?

Even still…

Are you crazy?

How could you break the window with your bare hand? Look at this!

Look at your hand!

I thought you were dead.

I'm…

I'm…

I'm relieved.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Everything's okay.

EMERGENCY ROOM

Are you okay?

It hurts.

You shouldn't have acted like a lunatic.

I really was one

since I witnessed the crash.

I thought you were in the car.

When did you get out?

I guess lady luck does exist.

Look.

I bought it again.

It was still just as expensive.

But this

saved my life.

Will you sob like that if I die?

Of course.

Then that won't do.

What do you mean?

You tug too much at my heartstrings.

You make people want to hug you.

You look sexy with your sleeves up, you're cute when you're drunk,

and you make others want to hug you when you're crying.

Women will be lining up.

And I won't allow that.

I'd be turning in my grave.

What are you saying?

I'll get the surgery.

Do you mean that?

I'm terrified because I don't know

if I'll just lose my memory or who I am entirely.

But I don't want to lose you.

I don't want to see you cry anymore.

I persuaded you into marrying me by promising

that I'd never make you cry.

I should start keeping my promise.

Thank you.

I understand how you must feel.

You must be extremely anxious

and terrified.

But you will never

lose yourself.

I won't let that happen.

I'll help you stay

who you are.

Okay.

All right.

I trust you.

Gosh, Pinky. You eat so well.

Is it tasty?

-Let's talk. -No thanks.

What's with you?

The building was always my turf.

This could cause a rift between us.

-I think I'm getting divorced. -What?

Are you tired of living far from your family?

Of course.

I don't know when my husband will get his doctorate.

I sent my son abroad to broaden his horizons.

And I think he's too busy to miss me.

Then go live with them.

Then who'll be the breadwinner?

I can't rely on Hyun-woo forever.

So you'll get a divorce?

-That's not why. -Then?

-I think he's having an affair. -What?

An American woman answered his phone.

And it was late at night.

Why would you give such a lousy reply?

Beats me.

I just blurted it out the moment she talked.

Jeez, he's really smart.

He intentionally chose an American woman.

He knew you barely spoke the language and couldn't confront them.

Gosh.

It's true that I can't confront them

or go there myself.

HAIRSTYLIST AWARDS

I have to remain here.

So please help me.

Goodness.

Fine.

You can have the building.

It's all yours.

Thanks.

Gosh, don't cry.

I'll give him an earful when I see that scumbag.

How could he date an American woman?

Jeez.

Welcome.

Hello.

Where's Du-gwan?

He's at the market.

He seems busy these days, so I said I'd take over his store.

-I see. So you're part-timing? -"Part-timing"?

No.

I'm experienced.

I used to be the CEO of a mart franchise in Seoul.

-I see. -This is like Unexpected Business.

What is that?

It's that variety show

with Cha Tae-hyun and Zo In-sung.

They manage a store.

You're right.

That's it!

All right.

SNOW CRAB RAMYEON 3,500 WON

Goodness, look at this.

This is a feast.

Gosh.

It wasn't easy to get these snow crabs from Uljin.

Express delivery was expensive.

Shouldn't you charge more

than the regular ramyeon price of 3,500 won?

I'm not trying to make a profit.

Then what?

Chapter One of my book, The Neighborhood Business King,

is "Ask Your Neighbors for Love, Not Money."

You wrote a book?

I will, based on this experience.

This looks amazing.

-There's abalone inside too. -Gosh!

-Goodness. -Abalone?

-Hey. -I heard the news.

They're filming Unexpected Business here?

Is In-sung here?

No, he's not.

But there's snow crab ramyeon.

There's abalone too, and it's only 3,500 won.

-It's a bang for the buck. -Right.

I'd like a double portion.

-Okay. -Can I have a bite?

Thanks.

You know what? I'm going to invite my mom and all the ladies.

Should we tell our kids to come too?

-Yes, we should. -All right.

Look here, In-sung.

Come on. I'm working.

You're making me feel embarrassed.

-Enjoy. -Why, thank you.

Goodness. I told you to rest.

I know, but I just can't.

What's going on?

It's a huge hit.

I didn't expect it either.

Check this out.

I've emptied out your ramyeon aisle.

-I can see that. -They all love it.

Someone had three servings at once.

Chun-sik's entire family came by

and had their lunch and dinner's worth.

Chun-sik, that bastard.

-Sorry? -Look.

Listen to me.

You won't be making a profit considering the snow crabs, abalone,

shrimp, and the delivery fee, you know?

We're in debt.

No, this is just a marketing strategy.

I'm sorry for all the inconvenience,

but I feel the most guilty about leaving him behind.

It feels like leaving a bag of trash behind

after a trip.

He was warning me.

We're not making a profit from ramyeon.

Our goal is to make them spend money on something more expensive.

Ramyeon is the most expensive food we have.

I see.

I totally overlooked that.

So did you get fired?

I took responsibility and resigned.

Stop causing inconveniences and go back to Seoul.

No.

I'm going to continue interacting with the consumers here

and find a way for farmers and big marts to coexist.

Did you think stealing my passport would prevent me from coming to Korea?

Where are you?

Ms. Moh told me that you're hiding in Hyun-woo's hometown.

Should I go there right now? Should I?

No, please don't do that.

I'm sorry.

If you want to save Soo-cheol,

meet me at the address I sent with everything you stole.

I won't repeat myself.

There's an amusement park nearby.

Should we go there tomorrow?

I'm down. I'll make gimbap.

Geon-u, we're going to an amusement park!

An amusement park!

Aren't you fascinated?

What is this?

Where's Mommy?

There she is.

Hi, Mommy.

Geon-u, Mommy's here!

Let's eat.

-How tasty. -How tasty.

-Is it good? -It's good.

Geon-u, look at me.

Good boy. Well done.

Geon-u.

Good boy.

I'm tired.

-Can you buy me some coffee? -Coffee?

Wait here. I'll get some.

It's chilly, right?

Okay. Your hand.

-I'll be back soon. -Okay.

I'm sorry.

Did she go to the toilet?

Da-hye…

Da-hye!

Da-hye!

Da…

Da-hye!

Da-hye!

Da-hye…

Da-hye…

Da-hye…

Why did you leave me again?

This is a public announcement.

Mr. Hong Soo-cheol, 31, is looking for his wife.

Please come to the Lost Children Center…

-What? But he's an adult. -…as soon as you hear this.

Once again--

Da-hye.

Please, don't go.

I…

I'll do better.

I promise.

So please don't leave.

What? Did his wife abandon him here and run away?

No way. He was abandoned.

He must be a loser for her to leave him here.

He's not a loser.

Sorry?

He's not a loser.

My husband

is the most amazing man ever.

It's okay. Let's go.

Where did you go after leaving me?

What are you doing here?

You're making it hard for me to leave.

Why are you doing this?

It's my last night here.

Don't give it any meaning.

You'll always be yourself.

Nevertheless,

this is your chance.

-For what? -To come clean.

I'll forget everything after the surgery.

So?

Complaints you had.

Times when you felt hurt.

Things you couldn't tell me.

Stuff like that.

You can be honest with me now.

Forget it.

I've fallen for that one too many times.

Come on.

I'll forget them anyway.

Forget it.

So…

you do have some things.

Don't try to sound me out.

What do you have to lose?

I'll be getting surgery soon, so what's stopping you?

Tell me.

What?

-Nothing? -I'm trying to pick.

There must be a lot.

Not really.

I'm only saying this

because you told me to.

You tend to change

your mind often.

What do you mean?

I'll give you an example.

You wanted me to remember our anniversary,

so I prepared a surprise.

Then you got mad about it,

but you also got mad when I didn't prepare anything.

Everything in moderation.

But that's your standard.

I don't know what you're thinking, so how would I know?

-That's-- -Also, I'd like you to hear me out

without getting mad when I talk to you.

I'm good at that.

You're mad even now.

No, I'm listening attentively.

I always frown when I listen.

Also…

You have a whole list.

I love you.

-What? -I said I love you.

You told me to say things that I couldn't say before.

I did say that.

Keep talking. Say what's on your mind.

Keep going.

Thank you for making

this hard decision.

Don't get sick

or hurt anymore.

Stay by my side forever.

Let's go on trips.

Let's take walks.

Let's work out.

Let's argue and make up.

Let's do ordinary things

and grow old together.

This is so unfair.

I'll forget all these sweet words too.

It's okay.

I'll say them again.

I'll say them every day.

Hold on.

Well…

I wrote down everything I could think of

about myself,

you, and the life I've lived.

I hope this will guide me

in my next life.

But I'll forget that I even have this.

So keep it

and give it to me.

By the way,

when did you write this?

-Don't read it now. -Okay.

You can read it

while you wait for me to wake up

after the surgery.

Okay.

Don't change anything. Don't make yourself sound better.

All right.

Come here.

Hold on.

Was the surgery at 10:00 a.m. in Germany?

It's in ten minutes. Goodness.

She'll be fine. Don't worry.

Okay. Stop shaking your leg.

Okay.

Honey.

Paengsun…

-is alive. -What?

Really? The snail with no shell?

Wasn't she dying?

It's a miracle.

It is.

Gosh, Seon-hwa. This is a good sign.

Do you think so?

Yes.

Of course.

Hae-in's surgery will go well.

Wait.

You won't go anywhere, right?

Of course not.

You need to be by my side when I open my eyes.

It's like imprinting.

I'm going to be like a newly hatched duckling.

I'll trust whomever I see first.

Don't worry.

I'll stay by your side from the moment you open your eyes

until you get sick of me.

What if I don't remember anything or recognize you?

What if I mistreat you?

It won't be my first rodeo.

That won't matter at all.

Just get the surgery

and come back.

Make sure you come back.

I'll be back.

Please take care of me

when I return.

I'll be back.

HAE-IN HONG, IN SURGERY

IN RECOVERY

Mr. Baek Hyun-woo?

Who are you?

I'm Detective Kang Min-wook from the German police force.

What is this about?

You're under arrest for the murder of Mr. Pyeon Seong-uk.

What do you mean? I'm a murder suspect?

You have the right to remain silent and hire an attorney.

You can also file a complaint if you think this arrest is unjust.

Wait.

This is a misunderstanding.

Give me some time.

We can talk at the station.

Let's go.

Wait!

My wife is in surgery.

I need to be there when she wakes up.

Give me just 30 minutes.

I promised to be there!

I have to be there!

Don't worry.

I'll be her guardian.

Was this your scheme?

What scheme?

I'm just protecting

my woman from a criminal.

Hae…

Hae-in.

Hae-in!

Hae-in.

Hae-in!

Hae-in!

Hae…

Hae-in.

Hae-in.

Baek, the former director of Queens' Legal Team,

-was arrested in Frankfurt -Mom.

as the key suspect in the reservoir murder that occurred

in Sambang, Yeongjin-gun, Gyeonggi Province last month.

The police joined forces with Interpol to arrest him

and plan to request an arrest warrant

for murder as soon as he is brought to Korea.

Wait. If Hyun-woo was arrested, who is with Hae-in right now?

What?

Where's the number he gave us?

Hold on.

Beom-jun, here.

GERMAN HOSPITAL

Here it is.

The hospital told me that you called.

Don't worry. I'm by her side.

The surgery went well,

and she'll recover soon.

We'll be there soon.

Right.

-I don't think so. -What?

What do you mean?

I guess you haven't heard.

I wanted to wait out of respect

until Chairman Hong's funeral ended.

But I couldn't turn a blind eye

to your embezzlement and malpractice.

The prosecution will begin their investigation soon,

so you won't be able to fly out.

You bastard!

I'll take care of Hae-in and return to Korea.

So…

leave her to me.

It's actually more

of a request.

A divorce withdrawal.

That's a good date. October 31.

Since the universe

is on our side…

Will you…

marry me?

You'll be by my side?

Yes.

I'll be there

for you.

Dear Hae-in from the future.

I won't ask how you're doing since I know

you'll be doing fine.

You'll be just as pretty, healthy,

and the most successful.

With Hyun-woo

by your side, of course.

Are you finally awake?

Don't. You'll exhaust yourself. Let me talk.

You're probably confused and don't know who you are.

It's normal.

You just woke up from a major surgery.

A tumor was removed from your brain.

That's why you can't remember.

You asked me for a favor before the surgery.

You asked me to be here when you woke up.

That's why I stayed here the entire time.

Baek Hyun-woo?

What is it?

Do you remember that name?

That's the only name I remember.

I'm not him.

You're Hong Hae-in.

I'm Yoon Eun-sung.

We started dating in college.

We had parted ways, but we still love each other.

Baek Hyun-woo

is your ex-husband.

I was

married?

I didn't want to alarm you when you've just woken up,

but he had completely deceived you.

That's why you divorced him.

I got a divorce?

He had stalked you until recently,

but he's been arrested by Interpol as a murder suspect.

You must be startled. I'm sorry.

You probably remember his name

because of how much you suffered.

That's probably why.

Don't think about anything and just rest up.

I'll bring the doctor.

I didn't think I'd ever see winter again

let alone the first snow.

But it's possible now.

Of course.

And it'll come true if the color still remains by then.

What will come true?

My first love.

She must be awake by now.

It's snowing.

Is this the first snow?

What's wrong with me?

What?

It's so painful.

You used to tell me about those days you were in law school.

Yeah?

You always bragged about your good memory.

And?

What was your secret to memorizing well?

I'm not sure.

I was able to easily remember

anything I looked at.

I'm serious.

Did you gobble up the pages after memorizing them?

I'm not a goat.

Well…

I couldn't memorize everything.

So I repeatedly mumbled

the important parts.

Then I could remember

my voice during the test.

My subconscious remembered it.

Why do you ask?

No reason.

Go to bed.

Baek Hyun-woo.

Baek Hyun-woo.

Baek Hyun-woo.

Baek Hyun-woo.

Baek Hyun-woo.

Don't forget that name.

Baek Hyun-woo.

Baek Hyun-woo.

Baek Hyun-woo.

QUEEN OF TEARS

I was very worried.

I'm going to keep you safe.

I must've lived a lonely life.

They followed Hae-in to Germany and kept me updated.

Please check the bus dashcams around the time of the murder.

-Exactly! -I'll get out no matter what.

Let Da-hye go!

This will prove that Eun-sung and his men conducted a two-trillion investment fraud.

My heart is racing.

He is the person

-I want to remember forever. -Hae-in!

We will meet again.

Because I won't give up. I'll stay by your side.
