Hae-in goes back to the room and asks him not to follow. But Hyun-woo finds her amidst the traffic and saves her. She tells him never to save her if something like this happens again. Meanwhile, Soo-cheol suspects Beom-ja to have initiated the divorce as he has seen her and Hyun-woo talk in private.
In Germany, Hae-in goes ahead with the procedure, but the doctors tell Hyun-woo that there has been no improvement. They also tell him that terminally ill patients need to have something to hold on to; otherwise, they can get suicidal. Hyun-woo thinks of a plan to give Hae-in a reason to live. Subsequently, he provokes her into not letting him get away easily, and she asks him if he can handle her range. He yells at her to bring it on.

The next day, Hyun-woo brings in Yang gi as his divorce lawyer.
They see Hae-in’s lawyer walk, and Yang gi is scared, saying there are numerous rumors about the lawyer, one of which is that he is the Vincenzo and part of a mafia. The two parties meet, and Hae-in’s lawyer suggests a change in the reasoning behind the divorce. Hyun-woo tells him to write whatever they want as anything they write will not be true. They are officially divorced. Hae-in thinks about the places Hyun-woo goes and reminisces about it. Hyun-woo had taken her on a subway once to show the best sunset in Seoul.
She tries playing golf as Hyun-woo does and finds it exhilarating. She then visits the diner Hyun-woo goes and is taken aback to hear his voice. Hyun-woo is with Yang gi, and he tells him that he has always wanted to be by Hae-in’s side. Hyun-woo’s assistant tells Eun-seong that the medicine he gave is an anti-cancer medicine. Eun-seong touches his chain. In a flashback we see that the orphanage funded by the Queen’s Eun-seong has saved Hae-in’s life from a dog. The chain she is wearing falls off, and Eun-seong is wearing it.
At present, Eun-seong is worried about Hae-in. She comes home in a taxi, and they argue. Eun-seong tries to get close to Hae-in in a romantic way, but Hae-in shuts him out.

Queen of Tears Episode 8 Ending Explained:
Will Eun-seong Take over Hong Family’s Business?
Beom Ja reveals the truth to Man Dae, but he hits her when she pulls Seul Hee’s hair. Da Hye leaves a letter to Soo Cheol before leaving, which leaves him devastated. Hyun-woo also catches his assistant talking to Eun-seong, and he reveals the truth about their interaction. Hyun-woo and Beom Ja visit the detective and get a DNA test for Seul Hee and Eun-seong. The DNA results show a 99.9% match, and Hyun-woo calls Man Dae and instructs him to do certain things to save the company. However, it’s too late, and Man Dae is getting sick. He looks at Seul Hee with a disappointed face, and she confesses to drugging him, which will leave him in a coma, and also tells him that Hyun-woo and Beom Ja are telling the truth.
The family is not allowed to visit Man Dae because Seul Hee has power of attorney, and she verbally tells the family that Eun-seong is her son. The queens lose their business, and Eun-seong is seen sitting on the official chair in the office. Nobody knows where the Queen’s family is. Du-gwan is terribly upset about the news, and Hyun-woo comes in a car. The family and villagers start bad-mouthing the Queen’s family, but one after the other, they get out of the car.
The last episode went quicker than anticipated. This early on in the series, we didn’t expect Eun-seong to take over. The family in Hyun-woo’s village only means they will find a way to get revenge, and a good one at that. The two people who were mistreated and kicked out of the family were Beom Ja and Hyun-woo, who were the only ones who genuinely knew the truth and cared about the family.
It will be interesting to see what Eun-seong and the team do next. After the change of heart, Da Hye could come back and reveal the truth. Hyun-woo, the Hong family, and maybe the villagers will also find a way to get revenge.
