Watching the Korean drama "Queen of Tears", I fell into the habit of embarrassment.
The supermarket prince fell in love with the department store queen. Girls who wore vintage clothes were considered rags, and girls who had never eaten popsicles were considered pitiful... The prince thought he could bring him a fairy tale-like happy life, but the reality gave him a heavy blow. hit.
With the huge class gap, their marriage seems to be joyful but is actually painful.
When he learned that his wife had a rare disease and could only live for three months at most, her husband was so happy that he couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth. I have repeatedly confirmed with the doctor that there is no misdiagnosis, but I am afraid that my wife still has a chance to survive... So, you are telling me that they are in a free relationship?
Plutocrats, human relations, power struggles... "The Queen of Tears" is mixed with various elements. Is it really a romantic drama?
This sexual transformation of a wealthy marriage made me, as a viewer, very interested.
Baek Hyun-woo, played by Kim Soo-hyun, is a top student in the law department of Seoul National University, the highest university in South Korea. After graduation, he entered the Queen Group as a group lawyer.
Kim Ji-won plays Hong Hae-in, an intern who has just joined the Queen Group. She always kicks and hits the copy machine in a rage because she cannot use it, making noises.
It is indeed difficult for an intern with a bad temper, average performance, and often scolded by the boss to pass the assessment of a large group. Bai Xianyu and his colleagues are talking about it, thinking that she will be fired soon.
At this time, he was already an experienced professional elite. With a compassionate attitude of someone who had experienced it, he would always jump in to help from time to time, and at the same time, he also wanted to prevent the copier from being kicked out.
Over time, it actually helped the relationship.
Seeing Hong Hae-in waiting for the bus alone downstairs of the company without an umbrella, Baek Hyun-woo suddenly introduced himself: Although he is not from Seoul, he is a top student. My family owns a supermarket, is somewhat famous in the village, and has some assets, including thirty-five cattle. He also has a fixed residence in Seoul, which can be regarded as his fixed asset.
and bravely confessed: Although he hopes that his partner is also a working woman, if the partner is her, he can shoulder the burden of supporting the family. In a simple sentence - I support you.
In order not to burden Hong Hairen, he coolly said that she could think about it slowly, left an umbrella for her, and walked away in the rain. How about
? This storyline is enough for an idol drama.
But the reality is not like this.
Although Hong Hairen is an intern, she is the granddaughter of the president of the Queen Group. After returning from studying abroad, she entered the company anonymously to study. In the future, she will serve as the president. She will nod for everything big and small. She is really white and rich.
Why does she always kick and hit the copier angrily? Because if it breaks, just replace it.
Why she doesn't have an umbrella? It's because she has a driver.
Baek Hyun-woo, who has a high self-esteem and thinks he is extremely handsome, suddenly knows this fact and is completely off guard. Unable to accept his foolish behavior, he resigned and ran back to the countryside, hiding from the outside world.
Hong Hairen also became interested at this time. He had seen many people, but he had never seen this one.
In order to recover Baek Hyun-woo, Hong Hairen came there in his own helicopter. How to put it, it's a bit romantic and doesn't care whether others live or die.
The two people were sure that they loved each other. Hong Hairen promised that he would not be hurt after marriage, so they got married and held a wedding of the century.
Baek Hyun-woo marries into a wealthy family, and the story of a gender-transformed Cinderella begins.
Others see him as having unlimited glory: a country boy has jumped into the upper class, works as the legal director of a company, his wife is the head of a group, and he enjoys endless wealth and resources.
But only he knows how difficult life of a wealthy family is.
Although they were in a free love relationship, they began to live apart soon after their marriage. They did not interfere with each other in life, and even ate on their own sides. Their emotional state was like an old couple who had no feelings and lived together.
Not only that, he can't make his own decisions in life.
Their birth plan was put on the agenda by the father-in-law and mother-in-law without discussion.
The child born will have the mother's surname
He will not need to raise the child after he is born, because he has other arrangements, and his parents-in-law want him to study abroad alone for two years. Year...
In fact, he is not a special case. His pain is not unique. Looking at all the sons-in-law in the entire family, they are treated equally.
On any major festival that requires sacrifices, all sons-in-law, regardless of their relative status, must go to the kitchen to help cook (in Korea, women usually play this role)
After finishing the preliminary preparations, they are also responsible for the follow-up finishing work. Although they complain a lot, they still No one dared to resist.
As the son-in-law of a wealthy family, he also needs to maintain his image like the rest of the family. For the sake of the good reputation of the entire group, his private life has been monitored. As long as he goes out alone, two people will follow him from a distance to prevent him from causing scandals.
He lived like this for three years. Every day was like living in a cage, restricted and monitored, with no freedom and no way to resist. His wife often remains silent at this time and ignores his feelings, which is equivalent to being an "accomplice".
He wanted to run away so much, and even wanted to file for divorce several times, but in the end he did not have the courage to speak out, because he was born as a Hong family member and died as a Hong family soul. If he divorced, it would be a dead end.
So when he learned that his wife was terminally ill, his first reaction was to be happy. He confirmed to the doctor many times that Hong Hairen could only live for three months at most, and there was no possibility of the doctor's misdiagnosis.
What he was thinking was: his wife passed away, he left the Hong family, and the dark days were finally coming to an end.
After knowing that his wife would pass away soon, Baek Hyun-woo unconsciously became attentive to Hong Hae-in in life: the distance between meals was shortened, and he uncharacteristically cared about her in front of everyone. When he saw Hong Hae-in choking on water and coughing, he was so nervous that he wanted to give her to her. Called an ambulance and carried her all the way back since her foot was injured.
Since they were originally in love, why are they like this today?
This has to start with Hong Hairen’s illness.
Hong Hairen has always had a domineering and indifferent image. Part of this is due to the influence of tumors. She often suffers from symptoms of brain fog, so she often falls into a trance and forgets what she was doing at the last second.
So much so that she would forget that she had made an appointment with Baek Xianyu for dinner, so she would be late for the appointment, and Baek Xianyu felt that he was being teased.
As many similar things happened, Bai Xianyu gradually became discouraged and thought that the relationship between the two had come to an end.
In addition, as a lawyer, he often had to deal with trivial matters of the group and was exhausted, so when he knew that he could escape unscathed, he felt happy in his heart.
Hong Hae-in doesn’t love Baek Hyun-woo, no. It's just that she rarely gets love in her life, and naturally she doesn't have the ability to love others actively.
Although the sons-in-law of this family have to shoulder the responsibilities of women, Hong Hairen still lives in a family that is extremely patriarchal. She can only get what she wants by fighting hard.
Although she is now the president of the group, she needs to achieve a revenue of 1 trillion in order to legitimately sit in this position.
But her brother is different. He can get abundant resources and support without doing anything.
They are also their mother's children, but her mother hates her very much, while she is infinitely tolerant and caring towards her younger brother.
Gradually, some subtle changes took place in the relationship between Baek Hyun Woo and Hong Hae In. In the past, Hong Hairen always lived a cautious life. Although she focused on health, she could not escape the end of getting sick.
Since the reality is like this, it is better to do it freely.
It's just that at the moment, their desires are different.Baek Hyun-woo is eager to leave this home, while Hong Haer-in begins to show his sincerity to Baek.
This relationship has now begun to wrap up Baek Hyun-woo's determination to divorce and run away. When the truth will be revealed one day, does that also mean the arrival of be?
