In the drama “Queen of Tears,” the Hong family faced bankruptcy due to the betrayal by the girlfriend of Queens Group chairman Mo Seul Hee (Lee Mi Seok). They lost their jobs at the company and were unable to leave the country due to an embezzlement investigation.
The bankruptcy of the Queens family didn’t just affect them. In total, three families suffered because of this incident. Which families were impacted the most? Let’s delve into the details below.
1. Hong Soo Cheol’s Family
Although often overlooked, Hong Soo Cheol (Kwak Dong Yeon) seems to have suffered the most among the Hong family members. After starting a hotel and resort business, his family was betrayed by Yoon Eun Seong (Park Sung Hoon), whom they trusted and introduced to Soo Cheol’s grandfather, Hong Man Dae (Kim Kap Soo).
Additionally, Soo Cheol was abandoned by his wife and children, who fled abroad. His wife, Cheon Da Hye (Lee Joo Bin), was involved in a conspiracy with Yoon Eun Seong to destroy the Hong family, as per a pre-established agreement.
In a recent preview, Soo Cheol faced further misfortune due to his entitled behavior, demanding water from the Alps while seeking refuge in Yongduri. He was slapped by Hae In to bring him to his senses.
2. Hong Beom Jun’s Family
Meanwhile, Hong Beom Jun (Jun Jing Young), his wife, and children, who held high positions in the company, experienced their own nightmares. Despite their efforts to improve the company’s image and expand its business, their hard work was undone.
Beom Jun’s family had been manipulating those around them, leading to the revelation of their family secrets and loss of assets to Mo Seul Hee, the girlfriend of Beom Jun’s father.
Currently, Beom Jun’s entire family, including his younger brother Hong Beom Ja (Kim Jung Nan), is hiding in Yongduri. This situation is a far cry from their previous status, and they are now living with Baek Hyun Woo’s family, their son-in-law from an ordinary background.
3. Baek Du Gwan’s Family in Yongduri
Although not directly involved with the Queens Group or the individuals implicated, the family of Baek Du Gwan (Jeon Bae Su) was also impacted by the Queens family bankruptcy. They initially expected only Baek Hyun Woo to seek refuge in Yongduri after the incident.
However, they found themselves accommodating the entire Hong family unexpectedly. This arrival not only surprised them but also changed the dynamics, especially considering past conflicts between members of the two families.
These three families bore the brunt of the Queens family bankruptcy. However, their intertwined fate raises curiosity among the audience, particularly after the Hong and Baek families come together in Yongduri. To witness the unique moments created by these diverse families, tune in to the next episode airing next Saturday!
