Last week, episodes 11 and 12 of “Queen of Divorce” aired, concluding the show. Regardless of the drama, viewers always wish for certain aspects to be different, and “Queen of Divorce” is no exception. However, instead of focusing on what could have been, here’s a look at six moments that tied the story together, providing a satisfying ending.
Dong Ki Joon and Sara Kim
Considering the genre of “Queen of Divorce” and the poster featuring Dong Ki Joon (Kang Ki Young) and Sara Kim (Lee Ji Ah), both made it evident that these two characters were destined to be together. Despite that, seeing Sara Kim and Ki Joon finally get their happy ending was satisfying.
Sure, life is never perfect. Ki Joon and Sara Kim will face problems in the future. But knowing their history and how they have yearned for each other throughout the years is proof that despite everything, at the end of the day, they will have each other and be fine.
Dong Ki Joon and Noh Seo Yun
When getting together with a new man, single mothers often worry about how well their child is going to adjust. Also, consider the fact that Chairwoman Cha already tried to fill Noh Seo Yun’s (Jung Min Joon’s) heart with hatred for his mother by saying that she abandoned him for another man. In the last episode, we learned that Seo Yun cut the photo of him and his mother because he felt abandoned. So it was quite natural for Sara Kim to be scared of telling him about her relationship with Ki Joon. In fact, Seo Yun is one of the reasons why in the earlier episodes she rejected Ki Joon’s advances.
However, the first time Seo Yun and Ki Joon meet, it’s evident that they are going to get along well. A young boy like Seo Yun, who has rarely received any positive attention from his father, and an affectionate and kind man like Ki Joon would make a really good father-son pair.
Kwon Dae Gi and Kang Bom
Unlike Ki Joon and Sara Kim, Kwon Dae Gi (Lee Tae Gu) and Kang Bom’s (Seo Hye Won’s) romantic relationship was not implied from the beginning. Instead, it slowly built up, and we got hints about their eventual romantic ending. The audience would have definitely liked it better if there were more romantic scenes between the pair. However, seeing them getting married on screen was a well-deserved ending.
Noh Yul Sung’s and Sara Kim’s relationships with people
One noticeable detail, added intentionally or unintentionally, was how the people around Sara Kim and Noh Yul Sung (Oh Min Suk) helped them reach their final ending. Due to the nature of these relationships, the result was completely opposite.
To explain further, we saw Park Jong Il (Nam Jin Bok), originally an ally of Noh Yul Sung, and Park Na Yeon (Seo Yoon Ah) sitting in CEO Son Jang Mi’s (Kim Sun Young’s) restaurant. And this is the exact conversation that gave Sara Kim the evidence to take down Yul Sung.
Na Yeon is the woman whom Sara Kim helped in episode 1, returning Sara Kim’s kindness. On the other hand, Jong Il, who was on Noh Yul Sung’s side, unknowingly became the catalyst for his demise.
Noh Yul Sung’s deserved ending
It’s no question that Chairwoman Cha (Na Young Hee) should be put behind bars. However, the same cannot be said about Yul Sung. There were still a few naive viewers who thought there could be at least a redeemable quality about him that could save him. But the climax of “Queen of Divorce” stripped that dream from them, and gladly so.
First of all, in the last week’s episodes, the show revealed that Yul Sung was indeed the cause of the death of Sara Kim’s mother. Yes, it did happen as an accident, but that does not make it any better. Plus, the fact that he never showed any remorse or a will to right his wrongs makes him one of the worst characters. On top of that, even in his last scenes, he tried to make life worse for Sara Kim and attempted to get her killed. So seeing him being dragged by the police officers at the end of the show felt deserved.
Justice was served
Na Yu Mi (Jung Han Bit) and Park Jung Sook (Kang Ae Shim) had only one thing in common: they were both killed to prevent the secrets of Chayul Firm from coming out. Everyone would agree that Jung Sook was a victim. However, let’s not forget that even though Yu Mi was not morally right and had a relationship with a married man, she also did not deserve to die.
In the end, justice was served when both Chairwoman Cha and Yul Sung were sent to jail for their heinous crimes.
