What Could Happen in Queen of Tears Episode 3?

Queen of Tears centers on Hyun-woo and Hae-in‘s seemingly picture-perfect married life as their world begins to implode, causing major tension in their relationship.

The series’ second episode dealt with Hyun-woo’s re-devotion to his wife in the wake of the revelation that her health is failing.

This causes considerable jealousy to stir within Hyun-woo, directed at any man whom he sees as a potential threat to his marriage.

To complicate matters just that much more, a man by the name of David Yoon, a wealthy investor, confessed his feelings for Hae-in.

So, fans can expect Episode 3 to deal with the fallout of that particular event, namely how Hyun-woo chooses to react to an outside play for his wife’s heart.


The third episode of Queen of Tears will arrive on both tvN and Netflix on Saturday, March 16.
