Queen of Tears concluded its series with its final episodes airing on Saturday (27/4/2024) and Sunday (28/4/2024). While some mysteries were unraveled with new revelations in the finale, certain unresolved plot holes have left some viewers unsatisfied.
Here are the four key unresolved plot holes in Queen of Tears:
1. Involvement of Moh Seul Hee in the Death of Hong Dae Man’s Wife
The circumstances surrounding the death of Hong Dae Man’s (Kim Kap Soo) legal wife remain unclear. Initially deemed a straightforward case of a heart attack, suspicions lingered, particularly voiced by Hong Beom Ja (Kim Jung Nan) accusing Moh Seul Hee (Lee Mi Sook) during the funeral. Yet, the truth behind these accusations remains elusive even at the series’ end.
2. Reason for the Eldest Son’s Expulsion from the Hong Family
Internal conflicts within the Hong family led to the expulsion of the eldest son, Hong Beom Seok (Park Yoon Hee). Though it’s evident that disagreements with his father, Hong Dae Man, played a role, the exact cause remains ambiguous. Theories range from a grave mistake by Hong Beom Seok to Moh Seul Hee’s manipulations to secure leadership within the family.
3. Motivation Behind Moh Seul Hee’s Targeting of the Hong Family
The backstory of Moh Seul Hee holds much intrigue, with only fragments revealed, such as her time as a former prisoner and her son, Yoon Eun Sung (Park Sung Hoon). However, her motives for targeting Hong Dae Man and the Queens Group remain undisclosed, along with the enigmatic circumstances surrounding her associates’ involvement.
4. Other Factors Contributing to the Breakdown of BaekHong’s Marriage
The strained relationship between Baek Hyun Woo (Kim Soo Hyun) and Hong Hae In (Kim Ji Won) following a miscarriage lacks a clear explanation in the series. While it’s stated that they chose to mourn separately rather than supporting each other, audience speculation abounds regarding additional factors leading to their marital breakdown, exacerbated by significant time gaps in the storyline.
These unanswered questions fuel various theories among viewers, indicating the enduring intrigue surrounding Queen of Tears even after its conclusion.
