The worst is over, and we’ve gotten the happy ending we never thought we’d get in Queen of Tears. We’ve been met with every possible trope under the sun, but our doomed couple lived to have a happy ending.
But if there’s already a happy ending out there, why is there a need for two special episodes? Queen of Tears was so good that it recently dethroned Crash Landing on You as the highest-rated K-drama in tvN history. Simply put, there’s nothing to fix, but that doesn’t mean we’ll refuse the extra episodes.
The Queen of Tears extra episodes will come to the local cable channel, tvN, on May 4 and 5, 2024. It’s unclear if Netflix will be showing these two extra episodes on the same dates.
Some viewers have criticized the drama for being too fast-paced. But most just want to see Hae-in and Hyun-woo have a happy episode with their newborn daughter, Soo-bin. They were able to overcome the worst, but an epilogue feels short-lived for a couple that had to go through hell and back to save their relationship.
All fifteen episodes that came before the last were mired in tragedies. Hyun-woo and Hae-in’s fights, the betrayals against the Hong family, and seeing our favorite side characters in tears all painfully live up to this K-drama’s name. Two more episodes might give us relief and additional closure to move on from Queen of Tears.

The latest Queen of Tears episode 7 picked up from when Hong Hae-In found out about Baek Hyun-Woo’s signed divorce papers. She wanted him to say it was all a lie but soon realized his initial materialistic motivation behind the divorce. A devastated Hae-In then planned on returning and avoiding Hyun-Woo.
However, she had another memory lapse episode when she suddenly found herself in the middle of the street, with a truck advancing towards her. Baek Hyun-Woo arrived just in time to save her.

To give her a reason to live, Hyun-Woo pretended to be his previous materialistic self. Hae-In decided to make his life miserable. Meanwhile, Eun-Seong finally signed the resort deal with Hong Soo-Cheol.
Behind closed doors, Eun-Seong plotted his plan to use the resort deal issues against the conglomerate. However, the plan bothered Soo-Cheol’s wife, Cheon Da-Hye. The following day, Hyun-Woo visited Chairman Hong Man-Dae. The latter accused Hyun-Woo of being a whistleblower when Hyun-Woo himself showed proof.
Hyun-Woo felt that someone had ordered the whole plan and set him up. However, he lacked proof of the same. Meanwhile, Eun-Seong, the mastermind behind the setup, continued to hurry the plan. On the other hand, Hyun-Woo’s parents found out about their son’s misery. The Chairman’s mistress, Mo Seul-Hee, caught hold of a hint about Hae-In’s illness.
At night, Hyun-Woo asked Hae-In to stay away from Eun-Seong, citing enough proof. At the office the next day, Hae-In audited Hyun-Woo’s shares and other official documents to see if he was pursuing illegal means. Meanwhile, Cheon Da-Hye battled with her increasing concern for her husband Soo-Cheol. She decided to move on with her plan of leaving him.
Meanwhile, Eun-Seong found out that Hae-In had been consulting a doctor. Hae-In discovered that Hyun-Woo had been looking for a raccoon she had previously fooled him into believing. She later found out that he’d also been sending condolence money and flowers to one of Hae-In’s employees who lost her mother. He had been doing it on behalf of Hae-In. The latter asked him not to joke around, promising to seek revenge.
At night, Hae-In met with Eun-Seong on their Hercyna deal. Hae-In asked what he wanted in return. He asked her to break it off with Hyun-Woo. Eun-Seong even asked if he could replace him in the future. However, he pretended it was a joke that left Hae-In offended. She suffered another memory lapse episode on her way back while Eun-Seong caught hold of her pills.
While looking into Eun-Seong, Hyun-Woo discovered that the former was adopted by a rich family when he was 12. However, both of Eun-Seong’s adoptive parents passed away due to a drunk driving accident. Suspiciously, none of them were drinkers. Eun-Seong returned to his room when he met with Mo Seul-Hee. It turned out that she was his birth mother, who gave him away because of her poor background.
Eun-Seong asked Seul-Hee if she was happy being the Chairman’s mistress. Seul-Hee assured him that it was their chance to get their luxurious life and happiness. Eun-Seong warned her that the Chairman was still hung up on his happy memories from the past. Seul-Hee planned a move when she offered to go to prison to save Man-Dae.
By the end of the episode, Hyun-Woo saw Hae-In feed the cat. However, Hae-In acted differently. She spoke to him kindly and lovingly and assured him that she’d find a cure for her illness. Hyun-Woo soon discovered that Hae-In lost her memories. She went back to the past when she wasn’t aware about the divorce. A devastated Hyun-Woo broke down and apologized while Hae-In embraced him, confessing her love.
