The "Queen's House" captivated viewers with a shocking development.
In the 26th episode of the daily drama "Queen's House" aired at 7:50 p.m. on Feb. 2, Kang Jae-in (played by Ham Eun-jung) fell into deep despair after losing her son. The episode's viewership rating surpassed 9.9% (according to Nielsen Korea, based on all households nationwide), recording its highest rating and maintaining a steady rise in popularity.
In this episode, Jae-in lost her son Hwang Eun-ho (played by Yeo Si-on) in a hit-and-run accident. Jae-in's wailing while holding the fallen Eun-ho stirred the tears of viewers. Furthermore, Jae-in experienced the misfortune of being turned away at the funeral home because of Hwang Gi-chan (played by Park Yoon-jae), who believed her son's death was her fault.
Meanwhile, Kang Se-ri (played by Lee Ga-ryeong) learned that Eun-ho had gone to meet Jae-in after hearing from her son Hwang Ji-ho (played by Kwon Yul). Se-ri became anxious that Eun-ho's death might be related to Ji-ho, and she earnestly urged her son not to mention this fact.
Kim Do-yoon (played by Seo Jun-young) and his family quietly comforted Jae-in. Do-yoon took care of Jae-in diligently, while her mother Jeong Yoon-hee (played by Kim Ae-ran) embraced her with empathy, having gone through a similar pain. Later, Do-yoon learned from Do Yoo-kyung (played by Cha Min-ji) where Eun-ho was buried, and together with Jae-in, they visited the place. Finally realizing where her son was, Jae-in desperately called out Eun-ho's name as she bid farewell to him.
Gi-chan was also enveloped in sorrow over losing Eun-ho, and he was determined to catch the hit-and-run driver. The wavering Gi-chan was admonished by Suk-ja, who said, "When you abandoned your first wife, you threw away everything—your conscience and your humanity—into the trash can," exhibiting intense desire.
At the end of the broadcast, Gi-chan heard a secret conversation between Se-ri and President Hong (played by Kim Yong-ho) and furiously asked, "Did you kill my son?" The climax delivered an intense immersion, raising anticipation for the next episode.
