Queen of Tears Ending Explained | Sad Ending | Episode 16 [ENG SUB] 

They should've added their 2nd wedding scene and some scenes of them growing old together. That sudden change from them walking the stairs with their baby to suddenly old Hyun-woo walking alone and the grave scene was too drastic.

I didn’t see as a sad ending, it’s the opposite, it’s a happy one, she eventually came to him, as an angel, just like she promised him. They lived together, had a family, n died. This’s life, appreciate what u have❤️

It's not sad ending.... It's the best happy ending ever..... ❤🥺

This kind of ending is really rare in kdramas. One of the best thing about the ending was how the entire cast was respected and everyone's ending was shown. And even hyunwoo and haein got a very beautiful ending. Everytime was wrapped perfectly

I must admit that Ep 16 was a good ending. The beauty of the Korean romantic culture shined through. One must take the time to love, to allow someone into your personal space. Even when love is destined, it faces dark moments. And also learn the lesson of hopelessness, of loving someone who is not destined for you. I am among, those who believe that we choose our destiny before being born. Why did Eun-seong chose a destiny of abandonment, desperation, and the ultimate loss of his life? Such a terrible fate of being born to lose rather than winning in the end. A good show makes you question life and Ep 16, left me in a space of introspection. It was the best episode of the series. We had to wade through the waters - get through some difficult episodes to get to the good. K-dramas, overall, are the best in the world! However, I wish that contemporary shows follow the historical dramas and stay true to their culture rather than westernising the scripts. There were a few references in this show that made me gasp. The best thing they did was remove that painting and replaced it with a family portrait. Focus on your own cultural heroes, your own folklores, and poets, K -writers, even if you are writing for Netflix!

they didn't do a scene of his video recording. i needed more scenes of them together but i get it due to time constraints. still, i could not stop crying cause that field scene hit the heart strings hard. wish we could have seen the daughter and the progression of the family, see their growth.

This was one of those that will be hard to beat. Hollywood doesn't make such beautiful art as this.

TBH throughout the drama I never cried except when Hae In's disease is known by her family but in the Lavender Field, something out of the world felt. I started crying even though its a happy ending. And Hyun Woo saying that he will live short after Hae In's death and it happened touched me. It was a perfect ending showing that they lived and died with each other. ❤ And reminded us that life is not infinity but it will end eventually. ❤ And the chemistry was so strong that there was no need of Kiss or Skinship.

Dude 8/10 what???? It should be 100/100... like or what else did you expect from a person who made this masterpiece😭😭😭

1:25 Rate it 10 out of 8? I guess AI isn't quite there yet.

Only thing is that I'm kinda sad that Haein didn't get her memories back and I miss her friendship with Bomi and mended family relations with her mom and brother. Wish we could've seen more of that:(((

The ending was so beautiful and happy one but i still feel emotional and cried 😭😭 best kdrama ever 💕💕

A series is not just about two characters, its the assemble that bring good script writing to life. Every single character brought their top game to the series. The different characters, the brave, the cowards, the comical, the romance, the intrigue , the truly evil characters, they all made Queen of Tears a success. It was a group effort, kudus to the writers, the directors, producers, lightening team, to everyone involved.

It's not a sad ending.. they lived a long life together, had their own family.. death is unavoidable..it doesn't make it a sad ending

For me this is a happy ending im gonna miss all the chapters

For me Its a happy and a sad ending too..

Won’t there be season 2 about the remaining 50 years she lived😭😭???!!! Not a happy ending(happy but not satisfied)

It took my heart even Now how will I rate it.. This drama doesn't need any ratings. It's best❤❤❤❤❤

The ending is really good i can rate 10❤❤❤ OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE TO ALL THE CAST ALSO I LOVE THIS COUPLRS VERY MUCH I WILL MISSED THEM EVERY WEEK END HERE IN PHILIPPINES THEY ALWAYA NO 1. SEE YOU SOON❤❤❤

For soo hyun to do an ending song for a kdrama, he must really love ji won or the directors lol. What and amazing ending OST, did not think he would come out with a song for their happy ending. Great job by cast and directors

I would have loved to see more intimacy and passion between Hae-in & Hyun Woo in the end.

How did he find out haein is rich? I wanted his reaction 😭

Had me in tears half of the time I watched QOT, I need more 😭

I'll be honest the ending had me balling all day. They ended it perfectly. It was the ending the hit me the hardest. But it is good to hear she lived another 50 years. That makes me feel better. And thanks for explaining the end. I've never watched a show that had me so emotional the end. I will forever watch it. I loved it!!!

rarest ending usually for a kdrama but very smart

10/10 top 3 drama i have seen

first kdrama i seen which actually hurt

The cast is soo good.i can see the chemistry of three couples (hea in,seolcho,aunty).but the drama lacked something.Must say popular and skilled cast saved the drama.i'll give 8/10😊

Everyone is getting old and dead That's the reality, but being together and getting old together is a happy ending

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Seen >80 Korean Drama, "Queen of Tears" is the bessssst ever I seem in my life... Cried over & over....

I will rate the final episode from 1to10 10❤❤❤😂

No more or less the good best better kdrama I watch I repeatedly watch it. I love both of them

That man who played villain deserves applause for his work! He s good. Why many talk negative abt him??? They are crazy too engrossed in the story that they cant tell reality and fiction… jokers!

9.5/10 one of the best k-drama I've watched, it's not the typical happy ending, there are scenes need not to be shown and scenes that is lacking, my opinion.

After finish Moon lovers, and then finishing this, I'm so relieved for a happy ending 😭

"Yoonsung remained a fool until the end" had me rolling.

Well the moral of this drama has a lot to say ,I’m confused to choose,but here it is.Forget about the scars that hurt you in the past and move on with the bright future that is ahead of you,,😮‍💨😇 From ep 1 to 16 it feels like I was living with them,I thought I was going to Cry hard 😅! But it ended 😮‍💨 unexpectedly,I miss heina and hyoon 😭

They could have made it 17 episodes to have more screen time with the lead actors lessen the supporting stories …but still the best l drama for me to date.

the ending not a happy ending. but we know everyone will grow old and die. so this drama teach us to cheerish every moments as much as we can with our precious love one or family members. no one can predicts the future. but we still can make life better to live together with our lover.

２度目のファーストキス、２度目の結婚、２度目の妊娠、いろんな過程があれば良かった。 術後のヘインがヒョヌと同じくらい、愛する温度になるのが見たかった。とにかく主役の二人の世界だけで、私の心が満たされる、幸せなエンディングで終えて欲しかったです。

Im still crying at the last happy ending😢

I love this drama ❤

my comfort drama huhuhuhuhu

I think the grave scene was NECESSARY AND PERFCT. I want to know that the detail of the additional 50 years...

I really loved it, thank you for the happy ending ❤❤❤

I think that a rating of 10 out of 8 would be considerably better than 10 out of 10

When I saw that "1990 - 2074", I knew it was a happy ending already. 50 years after their divorce and implied remarriage and you can see how much he loved her still. Even though we didn't see how it went or how it ended, the fact that they spent the rest of their lives together until death took one of them is nonetheless special in its own way. It was a fitting end, knowing their 2nd try at love strengthened their relationship and brought their lovestory to last for a lifetime. ✨️

11/10😌 one of the best kdrama ❤

I just finished it but it says that she was born in August 22,1990 and died on April 7 2024. Which means she passed away before turning 40. He lived to be in his eighties it looks like. Was this an error in translation on the Netflix series? Loved the show immensely. ❤

10 out of 10

Tbh ep 8 was a great plot twist and change of environment

It's not sad ending but the ending makes me cry 🥺

I'd rate it a 10. All the stuff about the kissing I never noticed lol

I dont understand how this is a sad ending.If we go by the whole plot of this drama then this is the perfect ending they have got.They were able to live a very happy life and in the end they went away just like how every person needs to go away.Nonne is immortal.

9/10 and yes the last 4 episodes where the main couple survived almost everything like they had 9 lives was not great, there were better story choices to make

M very satisfied with d ending...I just wanted some romantic scenes like kisses n all in d last eps u know 🙈but that's okay ❤

It's not a sad ending. But we want to see more happy moments in the last episode just like the happy days in the village right before they flew to Germany... It just all of sudden ended rushing 50 years into the future. Without a wedding!

It's not sad ending, it's happy ending, they live long enough.

Matured one and know how lofe works, will say (the ending is comfortable) For the one who thought life is all flower, time is limitless. (...)

its a 200000/10 for me

It wasn’t really a sad ending, it was in effect a happy open ending

i wish more of they mundane married life on scene... tho we got picture.... the baby etc...

Seriously the lack of physical affection between Hyun woo and Hae in was a huge miss. Why was this left out? Too much time was spent on unimportant people. I couldn't care less about the sister's marriage or her village friend. Also Beom ja and her "boyfriend". Who cares? Jeez.

Fue un final lindo solo que nos quedaron a deber un poco sobre su momento feliz de su matrimonio después de todo lo que pasaron siento que mereciamos mas. los únicos besos que se dieron fueron cuando inicio la serie y recién casados de ahí solo un beso cuando fue a Alemania a su tratamiento y ya se acabó.

The ending even when it's a happy ending, fell short. In tagalog we call it "bitin". They could've extended it to 2hrs and showed us more scenes of their life together. There's too many things wasn't shown. Like the video that Hyunwoo recorded before Hae-in went to surgery, she didn't even watch that. Or when they got married for the second time. Hae-in's struggles when she was still pregnant, etc.

come al solito i finali sono sempre frettolosi , per esempio visto che il loro cammino sulla terra era stato segnato dal destino come mai non è stato raccontato il salvataggio di BEAK quando la barca è affondata e HYUN-WOO ha salvato HAE-IN? mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere lo stupore di lei o di lui quando avrebbero realizzato che il loro eterno amore era iniziato proprio nel mare e invece no l'incombenza è stata raccontata dalle madri , quante volte HYUN-WOO ha salvato HAE-IN? tralasciando il salvataggio in mare , dal cinghiale , dall'essere investita da un camion ( in germania ) e da un proiettile e tralasciando anche quando perdeva la cognizione sensoriale HYUN-WOO ci stava sempre come un angelo protettore quelli erano salvataggi che sia lui che lei sapevano ma quello del mare è una mancanza abissale. mi piace pensare che realizzeranno un episodio extra dove tutto andrà a loro posto.

It's not sad but i don't know why I'm crying 😢 I wanted Hyun Woo to disclose the real reason why he went on divorcing her. He wanted her to have a strong emotion to hold on hope for life even if it's hate towards him. He should have cleared it before she was going to have surgery. And I wanted to see a second marriage and a romantic scene between them.

I know it's a happy ending, but here's my thoughts. You don't provoke an armed mentally unstable person by saying "over my dead body". That was stupid especially when you have no other clear plan of escape.

Did you guys realized the old man hae in see is hyun woo in the future, I forget at what episode it is 😭😭

I think the ending is good. No need to be a cookie cutter happy ending. It is at least showing a good 50 more years for the couple. I am happy for them. The end transcends time and age and return the couple to their most beautiful time. Isn't this what we all wanted in life?

10 out of 8 is a really good rating =p

It's not a sad ending though. They live and grow old together until eventually they both passing and his wife is the one meet him at the after-life too

"overall i rate it 10 of out of 8"?? !!!! what????

It isn't a sad ending tho... hyun woo did what Har in wanted him to do after her death and it was after they lived their lives had a child and watched her grow up... it's the most beautiful and realistic ending tbh

The ending went by too fast. I would have loved to see them as an old couple with their daughter and grandkids before they passed.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

10/10

Amnesia storyline almost ruined the series. Luckily, episode 16 saved it. Episode 16 wasn’t perfect, but at least it tied up all the loose ends

what are you talking about? the last episode is not a happy ending

10 out of 8 😂😂😂

Dont simp for this Drama without Knowledge this has the worst writing for ending thats why Rating got reduced so much

Not a sad ending

10 outta 8 😂

Gravestone says 1990 And yet all the cars shown in the drama the Audi the Mercedes are 2022 or newer. Somebody messed up

Unfinished ending😅😅

10 out of 8?😂

The ending was definitely happy, even though she "died" she went to get him so they could be together until eternity And she only died after she was old, so they both made good use of the time they had ❤😊

10/10

amazing! happy ending but,, it's just uncomfortable for the viewers to see such an ending where the cast was too old and the one is died, also hyunwoo is too old on that scene so it might bot families of hae in & hyun woo is also dead , thats really awful and lonely . the director here remind us that life has an ending,. i just thought that the ending will leave us smile and happy for their reunion.. & also i didn't see their 2nd wedding 😢. so i rate 9/10 here...

I didn't get too hurt that hae-in died at 84 years but the fact that her aunt is no more hit me hard bruh!

WHY ARE YOU CASTING SUCH GOOD ACTORS IN A ROMANTIC DRAMA if you don’t show any skinship. I felt like they were so apart from each other. Loved the “saving her life 100 times” part but I wanted some more intimacy, like at least make them kiss 😭

The last scene with kim so Hyun Song make me goosebump

I thought the same thing about no more kissing or really affectionate moments were missed. They could've showed it while they were with their little daughter in Germany. Embracing each other while holding her, maybe a quick little kiss, stuff like that. I would've loved that and even for the epilogue, with the pictures. I think it would've been nice if they had their daughter's wedding picture, grandkids, current family photo, etc

I wish there were more romantic scenes and kisses in the last episode over all i enjoyed the drama. After completing watching it at last night since then i am feeling void in my heart and i can't explain . Moral of the story is that cherish every day

There was no need for the ending, we know they will find each other in the afterlife, true love is forever. They should have ended it in the present , we want them to be alive in our minds, we know they are just characters in a show but they are more than that ,they remind us of who we are, of what is good in life. There is no need to remind us that time passes by and we will all eventually leave our footprints behind, I prefer to not think about it. Great show, fantastic cast and , is it just me, but in the end I felt bad for the miserable and sad life Eun-seong had lived, in a way he deserved better.

So why'd you tell me they died all😞 I mean I know that's the ending of everyone in existence, but their happy moments in the drama were so limited.. eventhough they lived another 50 years of peace together, didn't the audience deserve to watch their happy moments too, at the ending??

I honestly think the last episode was just pure perfection. I understand how some people want more romantic, lovey-dovey scenes but it's unrealistic for Hae in to be that emotionally invested when her memories aren't back 100%. I also love how the ending did not end with a kiss, as others wish so, because it's too cliche and does not go well with the meaning of the series which is what love looks like in marriage, and how it transitions to the afterlife. And having the family picture of them being all happy and united was the cherry on top! I love this drama so much and will rewatch it for sure. 🥰 Can't wait for the extra eps!

it didn't come as a surpise to me that he was gonna be the old man bringing flowers to the grave, i felt they showed that scene with that purpose in mind from the beggining. i wasn't mad there wasn't another kiss, these 2 actors have crazy chemistry. a look or gaze was enough to make me shy, lol. i was hopng they would have another child and i was happy to see it happened. in the end even the bad guys turned good got their punisment and reward, it all felt satisfying. would have been better if they didn't show the grave scene, was indeed a bit unnecessary to a perfect ending. we know they lived happly ever after by the pictures, but still. loved the ending, thank you writer for not dissapointing us. but i have to disagree with you, as much as we hated EunSung, i was really sad when he died. it felt so tragic because he was soo starved from love all his life, he desperately seeked it everywhere and was constantly rejected. sure his ways were faulty but they were out of desperation and he never had a good example of how to express his love and desire. he was holding on to whatereve he could, as a last hope, i felt his character was the most tragic of them all. his mother was the true villan, EunSung was one more victim. i knew it was too late for him, but i wish he would find some pesce cuz i din't fel he was truly evil, judt misguided. Grace is a perfect example of being almost the same but changing course, correcting her mistakes and finding love and support within this family. Grace was an example of what it can do to a bad person when you show them love and warmth. This drama was great, even tho it felt i watched an entire season in the last 2 episodes, it was quite intense. but it didn't dissapoint, and i am very grateful for it

Hyun Woo visiting Hae In’s grave was foreshadowed in an earlier episode (early into episode 14) when Hae In saw this white haired man lay flowers on a grave and disappeared. It’s the same scene shot from a different angle if you’ll check both scenes closely. EDIT : Compared the man in both scenes. Both walked with the same gait, wore the same black-rimmed glasses and laid down the same type of flower (purple long stemmed).
