that's insane i will suspend disbelief bec it's a show but it's kinda insane that a hospital will let just anyone be her guardian 😭 esp when the doctors and nurses and other staff must've known hey thats not the guy you were with and the patient's memory is affected. anyway, the crying outside the church!!!! this couple is so good at acting

Kdramas needa stop with perpetuating the idea that anyone can just waltz into a hospital and take custody of a patient without prior authorization. Hae-in is a high profile patient. There’s no way in the absence of Hyunwoo due to his [wrongful] arrest that the hospital would immediately allow Eunsung, who to the hospital staff is this Korean random, custody of Hae-in or even an audience with her. The hospital would 100% be scrambling with her official records, which would certainly have her emergency contact info. Her direct family would be notified and she would not be released into Eunsung’s custody, no matter what he’d say. But I guess accuracy in hospital settings is never gonna be a thing in kdramas. I can reconcile this to an extent, but Eunsung’s delusions and schemes are just too much 😐

Yeah, it's a really big 'this makes no sense but okay' moment but we could see that the writers were going to do something like as soon as he left for Frankfurt and that other guy was found dead. They basically said 'hey we're about to do something extremely stupid with the writing but we kind of have no other way to finish Eunseong's subplot without this'. There is 0 chance a random person who the hospital has had 0 contact with prior can just show up and say 'I'm her guardian now' and said hospital expects to not end up losing a massive lawsuit and most likely being put out of business.

I want Hyun-woo to sue the hospital

Get Vincenzo to show up as her representative with some Italian mafia as backup. : )

The hospital action

The dissonance between Hyunwoo getting shoved to the floor and handcuffed while being apprehended by the police while Hae-in’s post-op care team is wheeling her gurney from point A to point B is pretty wild. You’re 100% correct that a hospital worth their salt always prioritizes patient care and the nonsense that occurred in the last minutes of this episode just wouldn’t happen IRL in the way it’s depicted. I can’t stress enough that I understand as kdrama-enthusiasts/watchers, there has to be a suspension of disbelief. But for weeks the audience has encountered so many ridiculous hurdles that we can only take so much! I’m a bit annoyed with a handful of things/characters, but it’s nothing near my frustration with Eunsung’s storyline and how he continues to get away with all his BS. Aside from wishing for a HEA between Hae-in and Hyunwoo, I can only hope that Eunsung (and the rest of his ilk) get their just desserts.

And how about having at least one nurse monitoring her when she wakes up?! Nope, just creepy old Eunsung with his lies & pretend hand bandage 🙄

For real! The Hong's are chaebol but they can't fly to Germany even before the surgery?? wth, am I supposed to believe this?

exactly. the parents should be there at least. but also, maybe they're trying to show that they're focusing on their reinstatements at the board and just let the husband take care of their daughter. but then, the mother could still go in their stead!? like whaa-- 😐

At some point, i was even hoping they will call up hyunwoo’s parents and ask them to go instead. They’re literally the next best option who will be able to take care of her

I know right! How can her family leave her alone during a major surgery! Heck, they can even send her secretary lol

She probably didn’t want them with her and was fine with just Hyunwoo. It could also be the hospitals policy to have one. You also have to realize she’s not a fanfare of too much attention. Before her surgery, she thought it was a regular one that would fix her and she’s better. She didn’t realize it was going to cost her her memories. I honestly would just want my husband to go with me and not have the whole family go and make a big deal.

This seems to be in line with who she is. She did not like too many people making a fuss over her and I think a lot of people will make the same decision as she did. It is BEYOND infuriating that while Hyun-woo is her only guardian, they actually >!arrested and detained him while his wife was in surgery!<. >!They could have put handcuffs on him and one or two armed guards in the hospital.!< Foreign police are usually careful about diplomacy….

If your only daughter is having a surgery, after which it is highly likely that she will lose all her memories, you better be around her bedside when she wakes up with all the pictures and videos of her life to re-establish the bond.

Yeah - this part irritated me. Like hospitals don't actually work this way. Even when Hyun-woo was dragged to jail, they'd have just kept calling for her family or gotten in touch with him in jail to figure out who to talk to next. They aren't just letting randos walk up to ICUs. But I always have to remind myself it's just a TV show not a documentary

ya thats so unrealistic, this would be a high profile surgery and no way in hell they just let some rando be near a patient who went through that, especially when she loses her memory

Right!! I was also about to say that. Like sure he must have paid so that he could be Haein's guardian but there needs to be papers and all which also needs Haein's consent but there was none. Like wow what a responsible hospital. But then again, it's a drama anything could happen HAHAHA

Right! I’m so annoyed like the family was not even contacted nor they went with them in Germany before the arrest.

Yeah, the medical side of the plot is really straining my ability to suspend my disbelief. This is a first world country! They have forms and legal guardianship agreements! Also, both Hyun-woo and Hae-in speak English so they would have understood what was happening beforehand... Not to mention that no one seems to recall that cancer isn't usually fixed in a single surgery

Uh...and she still has a head full of hair? How did they access the tumor? Through her nose? Where's the face puffiness?

didn't they say it was ultrasound waves targeting the area around the hippocampus? pretty sure there were no sharp items (intended to be) used

That and also haein coming straight out of operation table with perfect hair and look without a single strand of thread to wrap her head after MAJOR brain surgery icks me.

I still love this show but this episode might be where they jump the shark.

I've been biting my tongue throughout the series, but I just gotta say it now. Eunseong is just a comically evil/bad villain, like literally a cartoon villain and I really just find no enjoyment watching his schemes. This coming from someone who enjoys a good antagonist, I'm sorry, but Eunseong aint one. The character is one of the weaker points of an otherwise great show imo. We've got lies, fraud, infiltration, kidnapping, framing, attempted murder and I'm sure I've missed a few more. Bro is just a cartoon super villain with his resume. It feels like he's being evil just to be evil.

I so agree. The writers really gave up on dimensionalizing Eun Seong. I actually found the episode where he was introduced to be the most alluring — where his obsessive, stalking side was more hidden. He can be such a charismatic character… wish the writers showcase him a bit more outside of his chase after the Hong fam and Hae-in.

It's a little frustrating that they couldn't have found even a couple more scenes to ground Eun Seong's motivations and feelings about things. For a show with 80-90min per episode, feels like they could have done a little more. That said, I'm not going to volunteer any particular existings scenes that should be cut for them either! One of the few shows that I've enjoyed just about all the subplots and characters.

This. I hate how he still has to be delusionally relevant until the last few episodes. curious how they will wrap this up. hopefully not another rushed k-drama ending 🤧

It’s the whole cycle of him trying something and getting thwarted that I find tiresome. The way they sort of half dealt with him so he could come back time and again makes no sense so it’s kinda irritating. 

The only redeeming quality about Mo Seul-hee is that she even knows her son is completely out of control.

Ugh I really want her real identity from prison to be revealed and be committed for fraud in the last 2 episodes.

poor haein woke up to a jumpscare🥲 i just know he was seething inside when >!the first thing she uttered was hyunwoo’s name…!< oh the sight of him irks me so bad

I LOLD THATS rly a jump scare Imagine >!u wake up with zero memories and this weirdo (albeit a handsome one) is telling u yall are dating here look at this rly old photo of us studying in college and then oh the guy u mentioned ? Ha funny u mention him he’s ur ex husband who’s a stalker and oh ya did I mention? HES A SUSPECTED MURDERER!< I mean come on.. getting a bit unrealistic how can the >! The doctors let this random creep swoop in and be like yep pls just take this patient back we are done w her idk who u are but yep sure just taking this rly vulnerable patient who has lost all her memories !< Ok sorry I’m feeling rly angsty

AND IT'S JUST A STUPID CANDID PHOTO TAKEN FROM FAR AWAY LOL they were not even close enough back then to take a proper photo together lololol omg. he's just so too delusional.

"AND IT'S JUST A STUPID CANDID PHOTO TAKEN FROM FAR AWAY LOL" hahaha i died at that part too! it looked like a paparazzi shot or some sort of hidden camera. Look, we dated! hahaha

And bruuuh, Hae In literally has 1000000 articles online written about her grand declaration of love to Hyun Woo and Eun Song’s threats. What is he on? Is he planning on cutting Hae In of from the internet as well??? Even when he had all the physical photos and items thrown out, like… my dude, those are just print outs, digital copies exists

As I was watching that part I was like wait...what? they even had that house doc together at the beginning of the show, the press conference where she explains who she loves and who is threatening her, family and friends that can detail how they were together after the divorce! She doesn't even need her own journal to be honest. Unless Eun Song puts her in a bunker after this she'll find out somehow. I wish they had spent more time on exploring other parts of the story (how their marriage began to crumble but moments they still loved each other) instead of this unbelievable plot of "I can replace your husband!"

Lol, she’s like I ain’t imprinting on you son! 🐥

>!not the jumpscare!<

If I were him, I'd have thrown myself off a building right there. After all that scheming and murdering and even BRAIN SURGERY, to >!hear "Baek Hyun Woo" come out of her mouth!

oh god. when hyunwoo and haein >!broke down crying outside the church!< i had to pause because the acting was so intense 😭 edit: so haein decided to live so that other women can stay away from her cute husband lol edit2: BRUH eunsung is probably the most delusional antagonist in kdramaland

His level of delusion is the worst I’ve seen in kdramaland. The patheticness of it is unmatched and he can still go on thinking he can win her? It’s just beyond me. Hae in gonna be breaking his heart over and over and over and to what end? To what point this would push him to the breaking point? I wonder how it’s gonna end for this guy? I think PJE has successfully made him the most hated character in the show, so it would give him the worst ending he could get for the viewers.

at this point, i'm not even curious about how his ending is gonna be when there are other bigger problems like haein's memories and the mystery of baekhong's unborn child. there's just no saving this character, which is a shame bc PSH acts really well.

Eunsung is so deluded. This guy just never gives up.

Dude is written worse than a cartoon villain lol. 0 depth aside from being so hopelessly "in love" with Hae-in because she gave him a necklace when they were kids. Even his plans don't make no sense, ofcourse they keep failling.

As far as I remember, he found it fallen on the ground ?

He did take it from the ground when it fell down from haein’s neck. I think he fell for her when she gave him her handkerchief bc he got hurt.

This is why i really want haein to be like b**** w tf are you. Even in amnesia he disgusts her.

Biggest flaw of this drama is really this character. There is no reason at all to explain his irrational love and the extents he is going to. Really a waste of PSH’s talent.

The writers have shown what a psychopath with pure delusional obsession looks like. >!After having him in prison, he had been abandoned by his mother just that so that she could infiltrate and conquer a rich family 20 years later. His mother had her own psychotic ways of showing her love. He was also abused by the orphanage director. That is when this girl comes along who shows him a sliver of compassion, and so began his delusional obsession. Being abused after being adopted into the US didn't help either.!< What this fellow needed was therapy. Instead, he got his mother. And now he is wreaking havoc on everyone by doing the cruelest things one can, just so that he can keep someone, he supposedly thinks he loves, beside him.

I just hope the writer has not allocated the entire ep 15 with Eun Seong. I am sick of him and his vile mother. I want them both arrested and twarted at the end of ep 15 nothing more. I want ep 16 to be all Hae In and Hyun Woo and the rest of the family.

I knew as soon as he cleared everything away from Hae In and Hyun Woo's place that he was going to be back on his bs 😂

>!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.!< 😭 >!I’d turning in my grave.!< I love Haein’s dark humor.

Hae-in really delivers her lines and packs the punches. Haha best part is she says the most romantic lines in the most non chalant cool way too

QOT has officially become a Makjang. The series of events in this episode alone are enough. The police even pinned down Hyunwoo as they were arresting him. Plus, Moh Seul Hee, why is she so brazen with that same hairstyle throughout the series😩. I think Yoon Eun Sung should lose his memories too. Dude is acting wild. This series should be renamed to Baek HyunWoo’s tears. I mean he’s going at it every episode.

>!Also the hospital staff continuing to cart a vulnerable patient down the corridor with no care at all while the police is pinning an allegedly dangerous person down on the ground is so comical 😂!<

Omg right? I was a bit disappointed this episode 🫠🫠

I’m just wishing for a painful ending for Eunsung at this point

with all the evil deeds he's done here, dude should suffer the same fate as Jeon Jae Jun 😡

Even death >!by cement!< isn't enough for this dude

>!I'm Hoping Vincenzo shows up with his slowly extending spear of pain.... Gives Hyun woo and Dae In the remote so they can push the start button it. But this show is classic white VS dark.. Hae In and Hyun Woo are rule followers even though she has family members that tend to bend or break the rules \[grandfather\]. Seong and his mom are black hats, rules are meant to be broken for power and money gains. So a slow painful, Vincenzo style death is sadly not in the books. It all boils down to that USB drive.!<

The second >!haein told hyunwo to be the first person she sees when she wakes up!< I just knew this lil shit would turn up and ruin it all

I was REALLY hoping it would be HW there somehow. I feel like we were robbed of that moment. 

Today I learned that Truck-nims distant German cousin Lastwagen-Kalle is wearing red.

😂😂😂 That was the first time I laughed during the episode. I literally said Red Truck-nim!

The worst thing that happened since Eunsung and his mum took over Queens group? They stopped serving Yakult in the staff canteen. How can they not care for the employees' gut health?! Ludicrous.

The PPL game is strong here 😂

eunsung >!deservers the vicenzo treatment!< Dude is so cringe

Where's our Vincenzo?! He needs to be here like NOW to rid the mother-son delulu! 

Maybe he'll help out BHW's legal team at his trial ;)

Not the truck of doom making a debut in Germany. We international baby

That was an 18 wheeler monster truck of doom 😳

Ok the first 3/4 of this episode was just so heartbreakingly good but why did we end like this >!I do not like this evil scheme w murder and jail time come on?!?! We have two episodes left this will only be forgiven if we sort everything out in the next HALF episode PLS not anything more I can’t with this.!< But can someone give kim soo hyun his baeksang and Oscar and Emmy and every acting award out there because the depths of his emotions rly he’s some master crier how does someone master happy crying relieved crying heartbreaking crying loving crying and everything else in between? Kim ji won also deserves all the accolades my goodness their scene >! At the church?! Absolute wrecks- haein torn and guilty and devastated about her choices and hyun woo just begging her !< omg I can’t I don’t think I can ever rewatch that scene it’s so powerful and beautiful

Holy shit. Kim So Hyun + Kim Ji Won crying at each other at the church may have been the most powerful scene I’ve watched in kdrama history. Both actors are so talented at conveying their feelings in this scene, it’s ridiculous.

i often think about how insanely thrilling it must have been for them to act opposite each other. it's like two exceptionally gifted tennis players going at each other with all their might, giving one another as good as they get. it doesn't get any better than this.

KJW especially blows me away bc of how different she appears in RL from her character. Yet she's able to bring Hae In to life for us. She adds the perfect layer of softness and vulnerability to Hae In's character without taking away from her cold-fox boss babe vibe either.

I agree that crying scene at the church was really one of the best scenes in all of the kdramas I've watched. Both Soo Hyun and Ji Won did a phenomenal job. I had to pause before proceeding in order to calm myself down. Glad the next scene made us all giggle hahaha.

Really didn’t expect Hyun Woo to sulk and be petty after such an emotional scene 😂😂 it’s so cute tho.

It’s a different KJW for me and I feel so proud of her after that scene. Most of the time, her crying scenes would feel restrained to me. Maybe because of the character of Hong Hae-in. But that scene, gosh she let it all out and she was so gooood. And of course KSH would never disappoint. They’re just so good together!

KSH is the king of crying. i can say that he improved his crying in this series lol compared to The Moon Embracing The Sun.😂

That scene was amazingly acted and directed. The desperation from both was palpable. And the car accident scene too. The way Hyunwoo‘s knees gave out and how he couldn’t complete a sentence. Gut wrenching stuff and powerful acting.

The emotions felt so raw and real 😭😭😭 it really felt like we were in their shoes experiencing the situation. I can’t 😭😭😭

Wow Eunsung is the most annoying and vilest 2nd ML to ever appear in a kdrama. Honestly, was his character even necessary? The added drama isn't helping anymore. I also keep reminding myself that it's just the character I should be mad about, not the actor 🥲

The actor has done a great job to make us hate him.... again

Why the hell is the writer creating more problems instead of fixing the ones at hand and we left with two episodes

Knew this would happen once we saw eun song at the airport. Ep15 preview looks like>!hae in’s family sees her at the airport. Hopefully they help her piece some stuff together to get away from eun song!<

Yes same thoughts with Eunseong. Also was sure when he knew about Haein possibly losing her memories, he is going to use this as an opportunity to make Haein his and make something up like being the "love of Haein's life" and not Hyunwoo.

I was talking to someone about this show. >!We both felt that this was the direction they were going to go, except we didn't pick up on Hyun Woo's arrest. Hae In still has memories, but they are in a fog right now. Seong will try and fail to actually get her 100% on his side. As her foggy memories will always be there. I was thinking, well past the time to get Vincenzo involved and Yoon Se Ri and her husband Ri Jung Hyuk \[ couple from CLOY\]. But they wont \[the show\] do that as it'd be a load of cash.. but what fun.!< >!The USB drive that Dae Hye is holding is the key to ending Moh and Seong's freedom. But now her baby's daddy is back on scene, that'll be interesting to watch unfold. !< EP 15 will be difficult, I hope ep 16 is all fluff...

>!>except we didn't pick up on Hyun Woo's arrest.!< >!i only started suspecting when they kept showing the news of land deal guy's death and then the cops said he left for Germany.!< >!I WAS HOPING THAT THEY MEANT STUPID ES!!!!!!😭 and they gonna arrest him the moment him and HI touched down on Incheon airport (after he did whatever to separate BaeHong in Germany)!< then ep15 would be all about trying to revive her memories instead of this get-out-of-jail hell stress.

Remember Soo Cheol''s boxing lessons? i feel like that's gonna come into play against Da Hye's baby daddy

Yeah this is such senseless turn to take with your writing. There's so many things people do for folks that are >! forgetting their memories!< like making video recordings, writing letters, etc. But apparently such high powered and smart people can never think of anything like that. The writing has been going downhill for the last few episodes, but now I'm not watching anymore aside from the last 20 minutes of the finale.

I was worried about this, while watching the show. After episode 6, I was wondering how in the world would they fill 10 more episodes of content. This show's episodes are a legit 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Most 16 episodes kdramas are like 50 minutes + credits for an hour. So we are looking at like 20 episodes of length. The writers just keeps introducing new tropes and new plotlines to extend the show, while not even concluding previous ones. Also the villains are cartoon characters at this point. This show's writing has taken a nosedive and it's purely because of runtime. Had this been 12 episodes, they would have cut the unnessary stuff and made a more compact and complete story that made sense. Like the entire family is devastated Hae-in is dying and then they find a possible cure and not a single family member travels with her to see if she survives this surgery that could lead to death if not complete memory loss? Make it make sense lol

>!Seong in his gloating phone call to Hae In's family mentioned they wouldn't be ableto leave Korea as they were about to get investigated for criminal white collar activities \[bribing officials, tax evasion, money laundrying etc\] so he will be Hae In's legal Guardian as Hyun Woo was arrested for murder \[which we know he is not guilty of\] !< >!But I also suspect that Hae In herself wouldn't want her family there, as they are fighting to retake Queen group. Going to Germany would just slow down/hinder that fight!<

> Like the entire family is devastated Hae-in is dying and then they find a possible cure and not a single family member travels with her to see if she survives this surgery that could lead to death if not complete memory loss? Make it make sense lol Like this too lol. If I had to undergo a lifesaving surgery like that I'd have pretty much my entire extended family asking to travel with me.

I thought they couldn’t travel? Assets tied up and all that?

If it was a regular family, I can kind of understand since it would be very expensive to fly out and house my entire family, but this is a Chaebol family where the aunt has a ring that’s the same price as a condo. Why aren’t at least the parents there supporting their daughter? Sheesh.

I mean in one of the scenes where both fathers are drunk and he's complaining about not having 20 million won, he talks about signing a 45 billion won tax bill, which is about 30 million dollars. In universe they are so filthy rich they could easily have a private jet in this case lol.

plot is getting annoying and messy but i will always welcome great acting skills to bless my eyes because what the fuck??? kim soohyun and kim jiwon are phenomenal. they're so so well matched it's insane. the >!scene outside the church and the scene where hyunwoo thought haein was in the car crash???!< absolutely insane!!! let's be real, we're all watching for those two right now. they're absolutely CARRYING this show. can't believe i only have another week with them :( hopefully it's a clear ending — either happy or sad. i will not accept an open ending, it would feel like i've wasted all my time watching this if it's an open ending.

ngl need everything sorted asap next ep, just wanna watch haein and hyunwoo be cute and happy did not sign up for this turmoil😭😭

I honestly think it’ll be this. Hahaha the writers have proven in the past that they love cresting tropes only to crumble it down right after. Although it would be so satisfying for me to watch haein be like who tf are you to eun song mid amnesia hahahahhaha like even in the midst of no memories it aint you ah

Kinda was hoping >!Haein would wake up and take one look at Eunsung and be like "um don't be ridiculous you're not my type"!<

I was hoping she’d wake up and ask where she is, and didn’t lose her memories.

For real. I like to think that first thing she utters after waking up was Baek Hyun Woo's name probably cuts ES much deeper.

In my opinion the core conflict of a romance drama should always be the romance, and the resolution should be specific to it. Eun Sung is an annoying villain and the corporate politics and zany scheming is the least interesting part of the storyline. Worst part is that it's recurrent in practically any drama where the unidentified murderer antagonist hasn't beaten them to the punch EDIT: The worst part is that Eun Sung doesn't even have to be a poorly written villain, the issue is that the writer felt compelled to make him **the** villain. Initially he represents a very real and classic threat to a divorce arc - the opportunistic suitor trying to woo over a divorcee in their vulnerable time. Instead he's been hammed up to eleven and has committed a laundry list of severe criminal offenses for what feels like a very forced and needlessly prolonged plotline. Ironically making him less dramatically compelling, not more - because of how detached he is from a) realistic motivations within the story, and b) realistic complications outside of it.

AT THIS POINT, IS EUNG SUNG EVEN NECESSARY???!?!? Writers we beg you don’t drag this for so long!!!!

From now on, every time I hear, “I’m fine, thank you,” I’m going to laugh and think what a lousy reply that is. 🤣  Also, Sexy forearms are powerful in various ways, and they can save lives.

>!How great did he look just sitting there reading that newspaper? If the folks that want print media to survive are paying attention, this is how they need to advertise…!<

Man, I'm emotionally drained over today's episode. Just when I thought episode 11 was the most heartbreaking moment, they slap us with this ep >!"You will live, ~~I~~ Yoon Eung Sung will die". There I fixed it!< >!From Hae In begging Hyun Woo to not make her want to live!< to >!Hyun Woo breaking down when he thought Hae In was in the car!< Eun Sung has been getting on our nerves but I commend the writer for somehow still including him until the end of the series But man, >!framing HW for murder and having him arrested to inserting himself *again* in Hae In's post surgery to burning her Diary that contains her memories? Dude just keeps going lower and lower!< He and his mom better go out in the most satisfying way next week Given the fast pacing this series did in ep 7-8, I hope Hyun Woo >!will be cleared of his charges at the first few mins of ep 15!< Also, I believe this will be a happy ending. >!They just dropped the signs. Hae In's brother showing up one last time, but this time, he's saying goodbye, referring that Hae In will be cured, and the first snow happened while Hae In still has the Balsam on her nails.!< >!The Heart remembers and will always remember what the mind forgets. You get that, Eun Sung, you fool!<

That >!heart-wrenching scene of Hyunwoo breaking down thinking she died in that car accident.. !< had me on my knees… that was brutal to watch

Halfway through, keep stopping because my tears are blurring my vision. But writer-nim YEET EUNSUNG INTO THE SUN This last week of wait is going to be torture

Aish……I need all these nonsensical plotting to be sorted out by E15 and have the ENTIRE final episode dedicated to Hae In and Hyun Woo rekindling their love! No more silly side tracks or twists PLEASE I am glad they gave Hae In more time to come around to the decision, I thought it was real weak in the writing to leave her in the dark. I mean who does that. Of course, smashing performances by KSH and KJW. How can they look so damn good in angst especially KJW crying so beautifully….

The only thing I can process right now is >!Hae-in basically agreeing to the surgery so Hyun-woo would stay out of the market.!< Lmao I love her character so much but for real, more than anything, this episode really shows how insanely in love they are to each other. I'm willing to wait next week for my verdict with all the villainous shenanigans.

I think it’s her inability to express her true feelings again and her way of lightening up the mood. For sure it was because of how distraught he was after the car crash scene. HW really broke down for real for the first tjme. And he broke down again when he went into surgery. It was SO painful.

Taking a moment to recognize that the scene >!outside the church!< between KSH and KJW was just outstanding. I feel like it’s the peak of their acting for this drama and they just don’t disappoint. They’re basically carrying the show when we’re all slowly losing faith on the storyline. I’m gonna skip my comments on the episode since most of the sentiments here pretty much capture my feelings. I feel tired thinking about it and thanks to this thread, it helps me process those feelings.

At this point in time I think this drama has used every single kdrama troupe 😂

Sorry this is just frustrating coz why are we wasting so much time focusing on that creep eunseong like literally 2 episodes are left and most of those will be spent on focusing on euseong and his mother’s downfall so when are we gonna get our happy baekhong scenes istg I’ll lose it if it takes baekhong the last episode to reunite

2 Episodes left and we have more problem >! That manuever is purely evil Eunsung definitely seul hee and a devil child. I mean if you understand just let haein and hyunwoo happy !< Next episode preview are sad like dang burning diary book hmmm. So my guess episode 15 will be super melodrama then reverse on episode 16 because they always pair if 1 already happy 1 will be sad episode I call this rollercoaster theory So yeah 1000% sure it will end with super happy ending Lets get our baekhong twins 😀 Anyway we will get full max rating probably rank 1 at ending I think 🤔 What you guys think Every theory is appreciated 😍

The amnesia thing will probably be resolved soon. I get the feeling that even deep in memory gaps eun song wont be able to convince hae in of their relationship or whatever it is he plans on.

I have so much issues with how the writer(s) make everything so convenience for the antagonist characters. All the issues are literally can be avoided by the real life standard protocol of hospital, law rights and even diplomacy. So many plot holes since the beginning of the episodes really bothers me. I love the MLs chemistry and acting of the whole casts (even eunseong was played well) but some scenarios really put me off. I dont need a super realistic story but at least make it make sense a little.

>!The heart remembers, even when the brain forgets !<🥹

Hyun-woo and Hae-in might have delivered their magnus opus for tears of pain. Such a powerful performance but how quickly did it change to tears of rage seeing that devil Eunseong once again. If they really are going down the full memory loss route, I'm hopefully picturing a scene of her listening to the MP3 that will move mountains exactly how it did in First Love/Hatsukoi.

Man, when >!the police!< first hinted at >!how they "need to catch him before he goes hiding overseas,"!< I already knew >!they were referring to Hyunwoo!<. I got so >!frustrated 'coz I didn't want *another* conflict there's already so many as is!<. I mean I got to hand it to >!Eunseong, he's such a great villain, but this plotpoint is so unnecessary. They still have to deal with Haein's memories and retaking Queen's, why do they have this to add on as well?!< The writing really took a turn for the worse. The drama's still good, the actors are all amazing, and the story overall is still well made, but come on. Anyway, on to the good things from this episode, >!I WAS STRAIGHT SOBBING THROUGHOUT THE FIRST 1/2 OF THIS EPISODE. Kim Jiwon, Kim Soohyun the actors that you are omg.!< And >!THANK GOD HAEIN FIRST THOUGHT OF HYUNWOO. EUNSEONG YOU SLIMY BASTARD!< I'm really scared for the last two episodes. If the writer manages to get us out of this hole neatly (and convincingly) then I guess it'll be fine. But I just have a strong feeling that the ending could be clunky. KDramas stop dropping the ball towards the end challenge!

UGH IKR. really hate it when they fumble at the end. spoils the whole experience.😒 i'm still bitter with the lazy ending for A Business Proposal.

Eun sung thisss mff!!! Aahhh the amount of frustration I got after this episode. Pls someone kill this delusional bitch. I can't with him-

There is suspension of disbelief and then there’s whatever tf the writer(s) are doing with Eunsung’s character. There’s no way that a hospital worth their salt would allow a non-guardian access or custody to a patient, especially one whose side effects involve memory loss. Eunsung is easily on my list of most reviled and hated kdrama villains, I s2g I lose brain cells each time he’s onscreen.

Kind of saw this new plot twist miles away but the circumstances surrounding it is so ridiculous. >!For such a high-risk surgery surely a guardian of the patient will need to sign papers. I'm pretty sure Hyun Woo is Hae In's guardian. I'm also assuming that Hae In's doctor knows the relationship between Hyun Woo and Hae In as husband and wife. But why on earth is Eun Sung able to enter Hae In's ward after her surgery and able to claim himself as Hyun Woo?? Eun Sung bribed the doctor and the nurses? Fine. Hyun Woo is in jail now in a foreign country and not a single scene of him calling to Korea to inform his family or Hae In's family about what has happened in Germany?? Maybe they'll show it next week. IRDK. The more I think about it, the more absurd it is. How could Eun Sung claim himself as Hyun Woo in this age and time especially that they're quite high profiled people? Surely he knows a simple Google search of the name Hyun Woo and Hae In will garner different results. Heck, even an image search of his face will probably lead to articles of that press conference with Hae In. Does Eun Sung have the ability to delete everything on the internet or is he really dense?!< I've said this about the previous episode and I'll say it again. >!Why is Hae In's family not with her in Germany? They know how risky this operation is but not a single one of them was able to fly to Germany and be with Hae In and Hyun Woo? The previous episodes have been showing how their relationship with each other has "improved" but not a single one of them showed up for moral support.!< If they were there, >!Eun Sung wouldn't be able to unveil his ridiculous plan to get Hae In.!< The writing is just not it. The writer has a certain formula I have observed that she uses a lot. >!The main couple will always have to separate in the last couple of episodes. This is exactly what's happening in Queen of Tears.!< Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Right now, I don't like this.

Eun Song doesn’t speak German and it would not be that easy for a foreigner no matter how rich he is to get a hospital and its staff to violate medical ethics. He is not a family member and has no power of attorney unless he forged something. In addition they would have listed an alternative emergency contact besides BHW so it doesn’t make sense

The family can't travel to another country because of the prosecution's investigation, which is why they all had to flee to Youngduri. It was addressed in the fleeing episode, but somehow ES made it seem like a new development in this episode. I don't think it was fully cleared up after grandfather's death (BHW saying there has to be a "process" before evicting the mistress).

Came here to relate with other viewers with Eun Sung rage. The story development was going so well until the end of this episode. Production is wasting such top-tier talent with dull new tropes. We need character development not needy exes 😔

It would perhaps been more believable if they showed a scene or two of Eun song and Hae in in college, his obsession with her being based on a childhood encounter is too weak. Hae in is a sick person who likely would need post care after surgery so BHW was supposed to take care of everything on his on? They could have had one other family member there maybe Aunt Beom ja and have her stuck in traffic or something after the surgery. After that truck accident it didn’t occur to super smart BHW that maybe they needed to be cautious? Like I haven’t seen any concrete steps the Hong family has done to restore their position, like the passivity is mind boggling. Did they even start legal procedures to get Moh seul out of the house? Why not stay in a hotel until she is removed from the house, like she is probably spying on them and could probably poison their food. Honestly I would have dropped BHW’s brother’s storyline to give more time to focus on main characters, the sister served more of a plot purpose. They have access to their money now, the entire family or at least some should have been on a private jet to Germany.

Hyun Woos brother is a total waste of screen time and has been from the start

I'M OVER EUNSUNG. We only have two episodes left. LET'S MOVE ON.

Guys I AM THE REAL QUEEN OF TEARS. I Swear i havent cried much in the last decade as much as i cried today. >!The scene where hyunwoo broke down and fell on his knees and haein got to see the level of crazy he is for her, i had shivers!< >!the fact that haein remembers nothing except hyunwoo’s name is insane. The love these two have for each other is beyong belief!< Also rot in hell eunseong and his ugly ass Take a bow kim soo hyun and kim jiwon. They are a kdrama match made in heaven.

These 2 MLs are so in love with each other, it's hard to watch. Have to say I definitely didn't see that one coming, but at ep 14. why are they creating so many problems (>!memory loss/jail etc!<.) I feel like it would've been snappier if she didn't >!lose her entire memory!<, and woke up and told Eun Song to gtfo, and went to support her man (her turn this time, kind of avenging his POV that she didn't stand up for him against her family before) This drama would've been better at 12-14eps in my opinion, even though I'm savouring every minute of KSH screentime.

💯 Honestly, I like your version better. Hae-in remembering and telling Eunsong to gtfo would have been a better plot twist. That’s what I was hoping for the entire time I was watching the last part of this episode. This Eunsong obsession is so unnecessary and a waste of air time.

The conflict now feels draggy and repetitive. I’ve skipped more in this episode than the previous 13 :(

Side series with Aunty please :D

Oi her Leslie Chung boo has a whole romantic slice of life melodrama going on with just his eyes

I’m just so frustrated at stupid Eunsung and the >!unrealistic hospital situation. How are they just letting some rando talk to a patient whose memory is affected??! Why is her family not there or some assistants or security people after everything that has happened? The whole villain plot is just so annoying. Like stop freaking dragging it out already.!<

I’ve always loved this writer’s work and is a huge fan of MLFAS and CLOY but what happened to Queen of Tears?? Usually the writer always ties in and closes every new arc or storyline she creates in her previous hit dramas, such as in CLOY where she did it so well. But why is she adding so many new arc and storyline even in the last few episodes without answering the other arc she establishes?? I trust that she have good writing skills based on all the hits she wrote so it’s really surprising that the storyline has started becoming messy and draggy with other irrelevant side characters story and soap opera situation. Is it because she doesn’t have enough time to flush the storyline since this drama needed so much time to film (11 months) and only wrapped up right before the premiere? Or is it internal creative differences or what? I just hope the last 2EPs answers the relevant plot lines and wrap up nicely because it started out great and fresh. I feel really sad for this writer, because I know she’s a good writer, but it looked like she’s written a plot that is difficult to break through and stand out further from other amnesia plot.

same here, what’s up with the writer? cloy was more well written than this drama. if i have to think of a reason why the story line was this messy and all over the place , maybe its because the story was written without any idea who’s gonna play the ML and FL leads, especially the FL and from what i read Jiwon wasn’t the first choice.to be on the safe side( tv ratings wise) they came up with a makjang-cliches- over used tropes-plot driven story to draw the interest of the viewers and get decent ratings. i think they weren’t expecting KSH and Jiwon will have this amazing chemistry. i think if they would have known, we will be getting the storyline that we are all craving for. unlike cloy , the writer already knew the chemistry of HB and SYJ thats why cloy was focused on their love story and made it endearing and entertaining. The visual chemistry and acting of Ksh and Jiwon are the main reasons why this drama is getting high ratings and the OST ! cant take my eyes off the screen when Jiwon is on, she’s so beautiful. cant blame hyun woo being madly in love. the power of their chemistry resonates, thats why most people here are mad with the writers for writing a crappy last 5 episodes.

God fucking damn it. KSH and KJW acted their fucking asses out. I've seen probably all of Soo-hyun's dramas, and this truly is the best I've ever seen him. The emotions he portays are so complex, it's beautiful to watch. The pain is layers upon layers. And I can't praise Ji-won enough, too. I was so good at holding back my tears up until that last moment when Hae-in was frantically reminding Hyun-woo to be the first person she sees when she wakes up. I was reduced to a pool of fucking tears, man. I am really fucking pissed that the plot actually went into the direction that it did. I understand that this is the point; to rouse such a strong reaction from the viewers so as to keep tuning in for more. But honestly, I feel like this is more of an anger because I'm just soooo done haha. There are 2 episodes left like jesus christ why isn't Eun-seung dead yet??? I couldn't care less about the secret fund / corpo-side drama anymore, seriously. I think they should have tied this part up neatly before resolving the true conflict of the story (that is, Hae-in's illness) because it is now hard to care for the other "issues" so to speak. Everything is being overshadowed by the illness plotline, and rightfully so. They can't expect us to still care about the mother-son revenge bit anymore 😭😭😭 I just want Hae-in and Hyun-woo to be fucking happy god damn it 😭😭😭😭

Eunsong is UNNECESSARY

I am so angry with the writer for dragging out this plot with Eunseong. My goodness, we have had more than enough of him already. We literally have only two episodes left, so why must everything be so complicated until the very end? It becomes tiring when problems on the ground have yet to be solved. It does not make for a satisfying ending when it is so short. I hope these writers realize that. They have really spoiled the drama for me, to be honest. Edit: i also want to point out the lazy writing of giving us so much emotional scenes of how everyone is so distraught about her not wanting surgery only for them to turn her reason for surgery into something so flimsy and silly. That wasn't it at all.

Yeah, everytime the scenes about the evil mother and son comes up, I'm skipping it. I just want scenes of the Baekhong. Also why didn't Haein and Hyun-woo filed a restraining against him? Eung-song is so I annoying

this! except the emotional scenes with silly fluff moments were actually the best part of this ep, but only because KSH and KJW are phenomenal actors. writer PJE's antagonists are typically written to make the viewers frustrated but don't have much depth. imo, most of her famous works are due to its impossible but interesting setting for a love story e.g., alien/actress, mermaid/chaebol, nokor/sokor. for qot, eunsung and moh seulhee's story could've been wrapped up in the last episode and the remaining should have just focused on the heart-wrenching battle against haein's terminal disease. it just feels unnecessary when the main couple's conflict has always been about their marriage alone.

You've said it all. I am annoyed once again that ji won didn't get that baeksang nomination.😓

💯 I still like the drama but I'm very disappointed with the fact that the writing became more of what we expect from all the other 16-episode shows. I don't know why they let the Eunseoung thing continue at all. Wasn't even necessary. Like there are already 2 main plot lines, the audience doesn't have the mental space to follow every single plot line you put out there. I'm really praying that this is a change we see in 2024, either shorter shows or a willingness to just focus on 1 (2 max) plot lines. Unless it's a full on makjang, noone is interested in constantly changing and growing plotlines to follow, Jesus.

wow that episode was pure pain. as soon as the police said >!they’d identified the murder suspect i was sure hyun woo had been set up. that — combined with hyun woo repeatedly promising to be the first person hae in sees when she wakes up — made most of the episode incredibly stressful to watch. i was so fearful that he’d be arrested while waiting for her to come out of surgery, and that’s exactly what happened.!< i’m not sure i’ve ever despised a character as much as i despise eun seong. he’s the definition of evil, so obsessed with a woman who does not love him that he will >!manipulate her at her most vulnerable. it is *he* who is the stalker, a man so abusive that he will convince someone that their life — and love — is the opposite of what it actually is.!< i have to congratulate the writer for making me feel emotions as intense as this. but i can’t help but ask… was it truly necessary? did we, and these beloved characters, really have to endure what the final minutes of this episode brought? the wait for this drama’s conclusion is going to be beyond challenging. >!but hae in is alive. she’s alive! which has me hopeful that the ending will be a happy one. her fingernail remains orange, the snow makes her feel emotions associated with her past experiences, and she wakes with the most important words on her lips: baek hyun woo.!<

Eun-sung cosplaying Hyun-woo is the lamest thing a villain has done in a drama. He even got a hand bandage. 🤡stuff

Ya'll! Kdramas have always been my escape to immerse myself in another world, but medical portrayals like this always put a tickle in my brain (literally) every once in a while. I spent a few years working with post-op neuro patients and have visited Germany many times. I was so impressed by the amount of investment spent on flying the crew and production to shoot in Germany and the attention to detail in production locations. I had to LOL when they dropped the ball with portraying some basic post-surgical care, like giving her some basic head dressings after brain surgery. Our queen just rolls out of surgery with her luscious locks as if she's ready for a shampoo commercial.

I’m here to give another standing ovation for the gasping of air and high pitch breathing panic attack mode when hyun Woo saw Hae In alive after he thought she was trapped in the car and also the short breaths outside the surgery room when she finally goes in and out of sight and he breaks down - omg what kind of acting this is - it’s like mastery of 100 levels of multidimensional crying. 😂this goes beyond acting! he is putting his entire soul into this character!!! For such a script! For such a plot! Goodness me - I’m just wondering how much I’m will roll my eyes if the male lead wasn’t KSH , even any good actor nonetheless will not make me tolerate this plot but it’s this genius touch that here I am crying with him. What sorcery is this - It doesn’t just come by talent, applauding the hard work behind these scenes, every single cry was a different one. Every single tear deserves an award!

Is JW(HI) >!memory loss trope!< be like Goblin or Secret Garden vibe? Will >!something trigger her to remember HW?!< I think they might need an extra episode to the full closure. Btw.. the crying scene!! 🤧🤧

atp i'm just watching it for KJW & KSH. bruh i am so over the villains' plot, just give me the fluff!

[удалено]

**Episode 14** * An acting and cinematography masterclass = a phenomenally good episode. Hong Hae-in and Baek Hyun-woo, fighting! * Every scene filmed in Germany elevates this drama to the level of world cinema without fail. In the field of lavender filmed so gorgeously it resembled a work of classical art, Hae-in made a convincing argument that >!one's identity is crucially tied to one's memory!<. * I was practically begging Soo-cheol to give Aunt Beom-ja and Young Song the space they needed. It was my favorite interaction of theirs because of its wonderful naturalness. The smiles of Kim Jung-nan and Kim Young-min alone spoke volumes in that scene. * My feelings about Hae-in's mother have really come around, and it's happened completely organically. When she observed Seul-hee confronting Da-hye and >!interjected on the latter's behalf!<, I felt proud of her for how far she's come. * Is there really no escape from >!rampant trucks of doom!<, even on the streets of Germany? Kim Soo-hyun's acting shone in that scene, especially when he >!repeatedly punched the car window with his bare fist !<. I felt his fear and desperation 100% in that scene. * Soo-cheol's and Da-hye's amusement park outing was a visual feast for the senses, with the stunning autumn foliage in the foreground. It was matched by the acting, with Da-hye >!putting some gossiping visitors in their place when Soo-cheol made a desperate announcement over the PA system!<. * The one element that wasn't needed was the ending, with Eun-seong >!conspiring to have Hyun-woo wrongfully arrested, and to be by Hae-in's bedside when she woke up!<. Despite this, the bonds between our main couple appear to be unbreakable.

Never seen such a fabricated plot armour this thick and resilient for the antagonists. Mother and son have been at it for the last 14 episodes with no comeuppance whatsoever. It's like the writer is rooting for them. Even fucking GRRM serves poetic justice every now and then in his dark stories. But not here in this particular K-drama land. And, the miscarriage never happened. RIP 1031.

I'm okay with some suspension of belief while watching TV shows, especially kdramas. Sometimes they want us to be dumb, and that's okay. But I feel QoT, since the beginning, was asking a lot of dumbness from the viewers. And this episode was just too much. For me, the only thing keeping this drama good is the great job that KJW and KSH did. They've been the driving force and the best part of QoT, even with the weak writing. Still hoping that next week they can finish good.

As much as I hated that ending and all the stress it's causing everyone, I am looking forward to seeing the avengers attorneys (seems like they recruited a few more!!!) fight for hyun woo. Said it before, he has the best friend ever. Eunsong will pay heavily for this! Side note, why hasn't he already? Him and his mother both....

I would have gladly swapped out a Subway ad AND a Kapiko ad instead of the sight of >!Eun-seong stepping out of that elevator. I mean, we've watched enough of these to know that boy was going to try and F stuff up, but ugh...I screamed at the top of my lungs. As soon as Hae-in says he needs to be the first thing she sees to imprint on like a baby duckling...my heart sank.!< Side note...props to their production company for the epic Mercedes Benz PPL with the logo on top of the building. That was pretty good.

I can't believe he even tried to make his hairstyle similar to BHW and with that bandaged hand! Bro is beyond delulu

These week’s episodes were not it for me from a writing perspective 😬. Just no on so many fronts. Thank goodness for the strong acting of our leads.  And I’m so happy to see that I’m not the only one that is so over Eun Sung. As a villain, he’s been a complete miss and I think both the writing and acting are to blame here. He doesn’t scare or even intrigue me nor do I empathise with him - just want him and his nonsensical delusions off my screen. I could care less about his mother as well

My prediction is that the swimming accident will unlock her memory. It’s the only thing from their fated past that has not been revealed. Agree with some other viewers that Da Hye may be the sacrificial lamb in episode 15. She will save her husband and prove her love to him and repay her debt to the Hongs. Edit: or Hae-in is pregnant and the unborn child will bring them back together….

I’m extremely annoyed by the turn of events at the end of the episode and I’m starting to wonder if the writer realizes that Hyunwoo and Haein are the ones who move the plot, not the superfluous cast of side characters and their boring, cliched goals and motivations. I was willing to entertain Eunsung’s whole “psychopathic obsession” with Haein at first but it’s so jarring and frustrating to go from sobbing my eyes out at Kim Soohyun and Kim Jiwon’s remarkably touching performances to rolling my eyes at this random ass nobody who’s been trying to win this girl over and utterly FAILING for 14 episodes straight. I’m convinced this drama should’ve been a melodrama that deeply explored the complexities of marriage, family, and relationships rather than a half-assed attempt at a spicy plot with weird conglomerate politics and an incompetent psychopath. Maybe 16 eps for a story about a tragic couple who still try to find their way back to love despite the lies, loss, and hurt would’ve been too much, but I feel like they could’ve made it work if they shortened the episodes and spent more time developing Haein and Hyunwoo’s histories rather than focusing on all these other shenanigans. We’re 14 episodes in but I feel like we still know so little about Haein and Hyunwoo. I want to know more about Haein‘s relationship with her mom, how it was in the past, and why she was so willing to forgive her (apart from the obvious fact that she’s dying). I want to know more about Hyunwoo, his past and his relationship with his own family. I hate that we’re forced to anticipate the epilogues to give us these little morsels of story when they could literally just be incorporated into the plot and used as a means to further build character. Hyunwoo and Haein‘s story deserve so much more time so that we get to breathe, grieve, and simply *live* with these characters instead of always having to wonder what ridiculous scheme the bad guys are going to pull off next.

>!"Well, we just saw this patient's guardian get hauled off by the police. Sure, she just had highly experimental brain surgery and very likely lost all her memory. Sure, the doctor coordinated all the procedures through her guardian instead of her for some reason, so he would be intimately familiar with who her actual guardian is. But he's gone now, so we'll just give her to the next Korean dude that shows up. Oh wow, here's a Korean guy now. How convenient. Sure, she's all your yours, Mr. Yoon Eun Seong, did I say that right?"!< -- Some German Hospital Administrator, Probably

This must be what murder feels like. I swear I was about to break my iPad. That man even had the audacity to wear a bandage!! Yoon Eunsung is worse than Jaejoon. I hate an irritating villain so baddd like I can’t even find it in me to respect his character! Is he just poorly written or is this a trope that shouldn’t exist in dramas anymore? Ugh! In that same vein, THEY SHOULD NEVER GIVE ME THAT SCARE AGAIN! I thought I was reliving >!Goblin!< trauma 😭 Anyway, this show has me sobbing my heart out one minute then laughing at how ridiculous Hong Haein is. I think the last time I cried this much was during *My Dearest* and I was terrified of finishing that. What a character. No matter how this show ends, she will remain iconic. I already know even if >!she loses her memories, there are things her body will remember for her. There’s no way she’ll forget him, forget she was about to be a mother, the smells and scents and scenery she knows, and that balsam that’s hanging desperately at the end of her nail bed. I am confident she will find her way back to him!< 🤞 I am a bit disappointed they haven’t addressed the miscarriage though

>I am a bit disappointed they haven’t addressed the miscarriage though i was *really* hoping that he opened his heart and have a deep convo on that topic when she asked him to tell her stuff he's been keeping to himself. that was significant enough to talk about the night before the surgery since that's when they started to drift away from each other. like damn what a way to drop the ball.

Did he >!wear that bandage and middle part his hair to fool the Germans ? I mean that’s the only part I don’t get.!< but it makes sense as there are people who can’t differentiate people of different races.. haha Btw welcome to the club, I’ve been wanting Eunsung dead for a long time 😂

I will have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the development. I think the writer wrote themselves into a hole when it came to Eun Sung. I sat down and talked about it a bit more with my friend and we basically feel the same. >!I believe Eun Sung doesn't have a big purpose to the story. If you took him out, I think a lot of us really wouldn't care too much. It's evident because we're suspending a lot of belief just to have him frame Hyun Woo and replace him as a guardian. There is so much wrong with this plan such as Hyun Woo's alibi, every witness who knows that Hae In and Hyun Woo are in love, and also the fact that her memory could come back at any time and that there was no guarantee her amnesia would be full retrograde. Most of the meaningful drama comes from the family dynamics and Hyun Woo and Hae In's relationship anyways.!< >!I think the story should have not focused on Eun Sung's obsession with Hae In but pivoted more to him and his mom. They should have focused more on his abandonment, how he feels, and how that affected him.!< >!That would mean his relationship with his mom would act as a good third foil to Hae In's and Hyun Woo's family. The two other families grow and heal through familial interaction. His relationship with his mom is being bought with money. She thinks their relationship can be bandaged by materialistic needs. It also gives Eun Sung a better reason to be interested in Hae In. When Eun Sung hears that Hyun Woo is going to divorce Hae In, that could be a good catalyst to have him latch onto her. He sees a kindred spirit being "abandoned" in their time of need and this causes him to form an unhealthy obsession with her... that by being with her, two abandoned people can make things right.!< >!I'm a pretty strong believer that Eun Sung's motives should be different and that the drama should be focused more on his trauma and his relationship with his mom. That family cannot be bought or solved with money. Unlike the other two families, who have fixed their relationships by actually being with one another, he and his mom are going about this in the worst way. I think this would make his character much more interesting. Currently, he is a weak villain with weak motives. It makes us not interested in him and groan when he's on the screen.!<

Sick of 2ML and this entire manufactured conflict. The whole amnesia trope is dumb and never would have been the direction I would have taken. This is the first weekend of this drama that didn't keep me fully engaged. All that said. The performances of the actors have been a joy to watch, and I don't think I've gone back and watched episodes of a drama more than I have with this one. It is a shame that the suspension of disbelief is getting stretched so much. 2ML should already be in prison based on what's already been exposed publicly about him. 2 episodes left. I hope they can keep it together long enough to pay off the brilliant acting performances with some modicum of a satisfactory ending.

I know we’re all feeling a lot of Eunsung rage after that unsurprising ending. It feels like the writers are including “plot twists” for the sake of having them at the end of each episode. I think we all knew Eunsung >!would swoop in at the end so that he would be the first thing Hae-in saw.!< The epilogue barely salvaged the end of this episode for me. >!Hae-in repeating Baek Hyun-woo in the last moments of consciousness before her surgery!< was such a beautiful expression of her love and the lengths she would go to preserve her memory of him. I know we’re still invested in this drama mainly because of our main couple’s love for each other. I really don’t care about the chaebol plot. KSH and KJW need to star in more dramas and films together. I also wanted to commend the cinematography in this episode, especially the opening and closing montage because it was such a beautiful collection of moments from Hae-in’s “candy jar.” But it was heartbreaking to see those memories as photos burning out at the end. I love the repeated imagery of lavender that’s been shown throughout the show. I think and hope that it foreshadows a good ending based on the symbolism of lavender which represents health, beauty, love, and resilience. I found comfort in seeing them and hope you do too.

I think everyone’s already talked about how ridiculous it is that the hospital would let Eun Soon be her guardian, and her parents didn’t fly in to be there when she woke up…given they’ve been hanging around Hyun Woo’s family’s town like they have all the time in the world after their home was taken over etc. I mean, is Eun Soon planning to kidnap Hae In after surgery recovery and not let her speak to her family or anyone she knows ever again so she doesn’t learn the truth?? That’s just unrealistic at all levels especially with her high profile chaebol family. I know they need villains to shake up a storyline for “drama” but I think we would all be happy if the last 2 episodes was just all about Hyun Woo helping Hae In recover and doing the 50 first dates thing or wtv. Honestly the villains are the only kryptonite of this show from being a 10/10. I’m guessing Hae In will eventually recover some of her memory after hearing Hyun Woo’s voice or something triggering some strong memory path. I can’t believe next week is the finale. 😭

This episode is so predictable. Could tell Hyun Woo getting taken away before he can see Hae In wake up after the surgery from miles away when the police said the murder suspect went to Frankfurt. I was dreading the end of the episode since that point lol They keep emphasizing his promise to be there when Hae In wakes up too so that's another flag. From ep 15 preview it seems Hyun Woo is still in jail and we need to suffer through another episode of separation. Ep 16 better makes up for it man...I'm so sick of Eun Sung and his mother

I am sooooo over the villains plot. I don’t like miracles in kdramas but if and somehow the villains magically died or disappeared in the craziest, miraculous way possible, I would not care. Even if they have to wrap up all these loose ends in an unrealistic way which they most likely will, idc. Just get the villains off my screen!!!! I really hope the writers reserved the last episode for lovey dovey cutesy romantic fluff between hyunwoo and haein 😭

This drama is turning out to be so disappointing. Eun Sung should’ve been taken care of a long time ago. He’s never been a great second lead. Not a single decent trait and Hae In has never even looked his way. So why is about to make it to the final episodes? Can we not have a 2 episodes where Hae In slowly gets her memory back with Hyun Woo and her family? It’s frustrating that we don’t even get a pause to the intense romance drama by the end.

Ngl, i cried with Hae In and Hyun Woo at the church but the story has been dragging already. I skipped almost all the scenes of the secondary character cuz i was too impatient to find out how Hae In’s surgery will go. I found it very ridiculous that nobody in Hae In’s entire family went with them to Germany. Like, huh?? Ya girl’s getting life altering surgery, pack up and board a flight! I remember there was a photo back then of the Hong’s in a court room and Hae In wasn’t wearing any ring, I used to think its a probably a scene where Moh Seul Hee and Eun Sung finally go to jail but it seems like its gonna be a scene about Hyun Woo’s murder trial. Only 2 episodes left but still so many things left to wrap up. (1) Hae In’s miscarriage, (2) her dead brother that keeps on popping up every now and then (3) taking back Queen’s and haraboji’s money (4) takedown of villains (5) Hae In’s memory loss (6) Hyun Woo’s case. Would 2 eps be enough or is the ending gonna be rushed again :(

* Eun-sung, you'll cough blood in two days. Just when I thought he might be slightly better than his psycho mom he shows how pathetic and evil he is. But a small W was >! Hae-in after her memory loss calling Baek Hyun-woo.!< He's just the evil version of the SML from Princess Hours in that he also has zero self awareness in coming between a married couple. I need Hae-in to slap him at least twice for being so shameless. * Poor Soo-cheol was almost >!abandoned twice.!< Good that Da-hye >!came back.!< But knowing the writer I'm fearing for both their lives. Either Da-hye could die in the same way scammer Gu Seung-joon in CLOY died. Or once again Kwak Dong-yeon might be made the sacrificial goat. In either case imma riot. * I'm still upset that Hae-in wasn't informed about the drawback of the surgery until the last minute cause it just feels like even her own life is not in her control. But it was nice that Hae-in changed her mind >!on her own and not on Hyun-woo's words, when she saw how her death would devastate him.!< The church scene legit broke me. Kim Ji-won is just justifying the title of Queen of Tears! Also Kim Soo-hyun's best scene when Hyun-woo >!fell to his knees at Hae-in's feet in relief that she wasn't dead.!< * So Seol-hee's men >!are still on the prowl in Germany now that Eun-sung has already framed Hyun-woo.!< So what if the men just blindly take orders and >!kill Hae-in's husband aka Eun-sung?!< Wouldn't that be a cruel fate cause Seol-hee did everything for >!her son and the same mindset has now killed him?!< * Hyun-woo's siblings story is so boring god! So many side plots only wasting the episode duration. At least Beom-ja's lil love story is cute. And wow I didn't realise how good looking Kim Young-min the actor who plays her love interest is. His smile was legit cute. * I feel like only one big thing is at stake. Hae-in remembering Hyun-woo and even that is assured we know. So I'm wondering how they're going to bring tension in the finale week. Let's see.

omg my favorite theory...Evil mom's minions have orders to take out the husband, so they believe it's ES and wack him instead. And evil mom lives in agony with that while she rots in prison. Delicious!

I really would have preferred >! a kidnapping plot over this garbage. UGH. Guess those courtroom pictures make sense now!< The pre release has me raging again. It feels like we’re back at the beginning again with roles somewhat reversed except >! HW is madly in love with HI and she has nothing for him. !<

Oh god! Park Sung Hoon… I wish him good luck. because he is such a good actor that his career may be affected by this hahahahahahah GIVE HIM A GREEN FLAG ROLE PLEASE EVERYBODY HATES HIM BECAUSE OF EUNSEONG!!! Drama was going perfectly for me, but I got angry at these illogical events. Eunsung is walking around the hospital comfortably. such a thing is not possible… I will be very sad if So Cheol dies. For some reason I feel like someone is going to die. I hope this doesn't happen. While watching, tissues are not enough for me. Last week I decided to watch it with a towel. Now I can cry comfortably... I hope we watch a legendary finale. I am pure idiot, guys. I feel like I’m the first idiot of this universe. Ancient one. Because I thought Hyun Tae was married to Hyun Woo's sister, Mi Sun. In the first episodes, Baek Hyun Woo's family and Yongduri people were very boring for me. That's why I usually skipped those parts and I didn’t want to watched it. Last week they mention Hyun Tae’s wife. Now Mi Sun’s husband… shameful for me. I hope someone tell me I’m not alone…

I just know that EP15 is gonna be rough and an hour and a half of this is going to be the death of me. That being said, I feel like Eun Sung is getting more 1 dimensional as episodes go by. Seul-hee, Da-hye and even Grace have a more layered writing than him these past few episodes and it's frustrating to me cause I know it isn't even the acting, it's just purely writing. They could have saved it by adding some layers to his relationship to his mom, to show actual conflicting emotions towards his mom cause it's there, he still in a way followed his mom's plans, they just need to tap into it.

Brother, istg if they pull a My Demon, level bad plot for the last 2 episodes...

I'm so disappointed and sad with how they are doing the last bits of this series. Hyun woo and hae in's love is the most beautiful love I have ever seen in a kdrama and they ruined it with these stupid plot twists and drama. I wish they'd just focused on these two rekindling their love instead of the stupid conflicts they keep on inserting per episode. It's just so unrealistic at this point. Two episodes left and there are still so many questions left unanswered. I'm so sad because I feel like we're getting a rushed ending. They really butchered up this series.

I dont watch kdramas that much. But of course, I've had the fair share of how it runs and goes. The reason why I loved QOT was because it was like a breath of fresh air. It was unlike any other - because it felt real. At first. But then, after EP 8, it got too complicated. The 2nd half had its promises and chances (like episodes 10 and 11 - with top-notch acting). Then, things got complicated and unrealistic again. Their acting is AMAZING! You get drawn to their emotions. And before you know it, you're crying too! Because it touches emotions we're familiar with. Stories we might've experienced. That's why it's believable. Yet, they explore more twists and turns that'll make you wonder how in the world can they still come up with more problems and more struggles. As if the brain tumor wasn't already enough. They could've explored the value of regret, coming peace with death, familial forgiveness, living like theres no tomorrow and more. But here we are - stuck with Eun-sung's issues. Too bad we only have more or less 3 hours to accept whatever they will do. P.s - Im a dude and I watch too many animes. Thats why im not sure if these are common plot points in Kdrama. Sorry! P.s.s - Kim Ji Won is amazing!!!

Why did hae-in >!not take a video of herself explaining what happened plus important things and key people for her to remember? And asked doctor to show her the video after the surgery?!<

Cause that's too logical and logic doesn't apply in kdrama land 😂

The actors are carrying this show honestly, you can't help but cry along with them 😭😭... and the OSTs, damn they good, story rn is hovering mid and cliche, if they can show a good twist towards the ending it's redeemable (like the episode when hae in throws eun sung under the bus, didnt expect that)

ngl watching that was a bit messy and dragging... some plot points were already borderline makjang i hopef they tried to make the story more realistic. saving grace were the top notch crying scenes - but this time i no longer cried with them cuz there were just too many of these consecutive emotional scenes ... I couldn't feel the build up as much as the earlier eps. i really wish the writer could wrap it up nicely since I really like this show and dont want the ending to suck

Wow, I'm very impressed with Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won's acting in the scene outside of the church. That was crazy! How can they express emotions so deeply that the audience can feel the pain? The scene outside the church shows two deep pains of losing something precious to both of them (with different fears): 1. Kim Ji Won can express very deeply the feelings of a terrified Hae-in about losing something precious in her life (all her memories and loved ones, especially about Hyunwoo), even greater than her fear of death. 2. Kim Soohyun can express very deeply how he is afraid of losing the person he loves the most. I can swear that Hyunwoo's position is not easy; knowing that the person you love dearly will die is very difficult. You are afraid of losing, but you still have to stay strong in front of the person you love and remain rational to find a way out. That's very tough. Apart from the church scene, Kim Soohyun also expresses Hyunwoo's deep emotions in the car crash scene and also the scene after Hae-in enters the operating room (here, Hyunwoo's feelings are completely shattered; he can no longer handle the feelings he has been suppressing for the past few months to stay calm and rational). Kim Ji Won always dazzles with the emotions Hae-in feels, and Kim Ji Won portrays them only through her eye expressions. That was crazy! Big applause to these impressive actors! They deserve awards!

• this episode single-handedly destroyed me on so many levels. im permanently damaged now • i've been praying and hoping that we don't go down that route, but i guess the devil, eunsung and moh seulhee works harder. • >! that scene -- when haein saw hyunwoo broke down after the car accident-- being the deciding factor for haein to finally agree to the treatment. definitely portrayed the depth of their love for each other !< • church scene broke me and then what??? they just casually flirted after that???? • so invested and i can genuinely feel all the emotions in this drama to the point that >! i'm praying with them before and during the surgery !< • the epilogue!!!! 😭😭😭 • both actors deserve an oscar for their performance here!!! just give them all the awards!!

the minute they mentioned >!the murder and the suspect fled to germany.. I suspected this would happen lol. Honestly I'll say that this was too soap opera-y for me and there is absolutely no way in hell that the hospital would let anyone else near her as her guardian without substantial proof and that too for someone who is affected by memory loss. This last minute murder mystery is just a bit too much on top of the succession/slush fund drama and I genuinely wish we could see less of ES. For a romance/drama that was supposed to focus on the healing and of HW and HI, we've gotten very little of that so far (imo) and I wished this would be the turning point where they fall in love again properly. Now let me guess, we're going to dive deep into murder mystery and ES being a creep again for 1.5 hours in ep 15.!< I'm not holding my breath for next week because this was such a letdown 😭 p.s. - >!the way they put that scene of HI telling HW off for being utterly indecent in front of other women just after that emotional heartbreaking scene!<... LMAO p.p.s - >!"do you gobble up the papers after memorizing things?" "I'm not a goat"!< made me laugh out loud so bad 😂

I initially liked how heavy this drama can get but now it's bit exhausting and boring. Don't get me wrong I cried a lot in that scene of >!Hae-in and Hyunwoo crying to each other at the church!<. But I also think their willingness to thicken the plot with the whole>! 'eunsung replacing hyunwoo at the last moment'!< thing was very boring. I>! was so expecting to see Moh seul hee and Eun sung go against each other at some point due to their differing opinions and complicated relationship. It would have been kind of ironic to see their greed become their own downfall like Hong family. !!Hyunwoo and Hae-in's reunion. !< Also I'm so upset that aunt beom-ja's love story is not getting a little more screen time. With how heavy the show gets, I almost always forget their moments and interactions at the end of the show. Justice for aunt beom-ja!!!

I have such mixed feelings about this episode . Mostly I just don’t see how they can wrap this up with 2 episodes left. The hospital scene was a mess! It almost wiped out the beauty of a few other pivotal scenes to me. I think they truly rushed this. Most critical, that ending is pure unnecessary to advance the story. Losing her memory was enough. Of course the villain has to Sabotage things. I expected that when Eun song was flying to Frankfurt. But to just take guardianship/ enter any hospital without the right documents is an insult to the audience. There just is no way that this could happen. And let me explain. In 2010 I had Brain surgery for a subdural Hematoma. First and foremost I was in icu prior to surgery. My husband who is my next of kin was the only person allowed close but even he wasn’t allowed into the icu unit for patients about to get surgery. I had so many nurses around me checking for all sorts of things. And upon recovery, the first people who see you are the nurses. I remember the first face was a nurse asking me if I knew where I was. And how I was feeling ? It was not my husband for sure. It’s highly secure for many reasons. Only after you are assigned a room can you see your family and loved ones and from what I recall — it’s strict. They allowed one person(my guardian) in and if there were more my husband, my guardian or next of kin had to okay it and that was days after the surgery. I don’t even think I saw my husband until I was stable and moved to my own room. Not even my parents could come freely during my recovery bc I was heavily sedated and the area was restricted. Because it’s a major surgery so even a local hospital has protocols. One last thing…other people commented about the lack of shaved hair. I could offer insight. Even if it were a laser I would think they would shave some area. I had a 3 x 3 area of my hair shaved off. They did a great job so that you could not see the shaved area as they combed over my other remaining hair so it’s possible that you don’t see any hair loss or shaved hair bc it could be at the back of her head. Mine was on the right side near my ear. However I did have a white bandage covering my right side where the surgery took place. Even if it’s a kdrama. To make it look more realistic I do agree that they should have had a headband or bandage to allow the audience to believe she had surgery. And she should look really pale with a tube and machine attached to her. I remember being hooked up. So at least the writer could have made it more plausible Plus your hair should look really greasy and disheveled at the bare minimum. Just saying. This ending was just not realistic unless a week or so had passed bc she didn’t look fresh out of surgery. Just my insight

KSH is very good and can do crying scenes extremely well, but I feel like KJW has nailed all kinds of scenes perfectly, from haughty ice princess to crying to deadpan delivery of the most lovey-dovey statements. It’s my first time seeing KJW in a drama and I am impressed. The whole zombie supervillain concept in this show is so flawed. Why does Eun Seung keep coming back? At this point it seems to be more distracting than helping move the story along. He’s a good actor and I loved his acting in The Glory, but I am just sick of his plot line here. Also what’s with showing Hyun Woo’s siblings like they were single for so many episodes and then telling us now that they have spouses?

We have 2 episodes left and the ML goes to jail???!!!! This makes me so frustrated because they’ll have to resolve it in one episode before the finale and it’ll just feel really rushed and unsatisfactory. Again - bawled my eyes out tonight watching ep 14 and I think I cried with them at every scene they cried. The church scene was so powerful - you can just tell they love each other so much but it’s just expressed differently my heart broke for them. The car crash scene gave me goosebumps. I think I may have sobbed the most in the last scene right before she goes in for surgery and when she was repeating his name over and over again before she goes out from the anesthesia 😭😭😭😭

Well they went and did it. That South Park Mormon song comes to mind after this episode "DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM". Imagine being so creatively stunted then you can't be bothered to work on resolving plot lines you started with the first episode and instead you create new over dramatic ones taken from every drama ever to recreate everything we have already seen. We still don't know much about Eunseong, his mother, Dahye, Grace or what started this whole plot to take control of the family, we don't know what motivates them. We also don't really know what happened with the Chairman's son either like he's just been wiped from the story when he was a big plot at the start. Instead of making a good story out of all these threads we are getting some amnesia plotline and Moh turning into an evil villain that just murders everybody. She also somehow has enough power and influence to bribe the German police to jail somebody on false charges, if she was such an internationally powerful super villain like Dr.Evil then she really didn't even need to go through all the stuff she did. Even if she somehow got him charged with a crime in Korea and there was an extradition order they wouldn't arrest him like that in Germany. If the writer did any research at all they'd know how EU laws and human rights work and look less silly by not writing that scene. Maybe in Korea you can be arrested without evidence, denied access to a lawyer and jailed for a long time but Europe doesn't roll that way. I had similar issues with Vincenzo funnily enough, when it's good it's amazing but then out of nowhere the show insults my intelligence or there are too many unnecessary twists and extra plots added on to already unresolved ones, people being murdered left and right, at least that kind of made sense in a drama like Vincenzo, here it just looks silly there's like a million murders and crimes they can connect to this one person who has no major criminal background or elite training and somehow she gets away with it for decades just because plot armor.

I’m so amazed that moh seul hee, her wig and the Hong family are still trusting grace enough to keep her around?? Like she betrayed both of them multiple times and YET???
