We learned about the past tragedy that happened to the Hong family from episode 6. In that incident, Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-Won) was saved by a young boy when their rowboat flipped over at sea.

Unfortunately, Hae-in lost her older brother in the accident. Because of this, her mother, Seon-Hwa (played by Na Young-Hee) resents and takes the blame on Hae-in.

This led Hae-in to be distant from her mother, which damaged their relationship.

In Queen of Tears episode 12, Yoon Eun-Sung (played by Park Sung-Hoon) claimed that he was the one who saved Hae-in from drowning. He told Hae-in about this when he took her home to visit her grandfather.

Eun-Sung claimed that it was the first time he met her.

In another scene, Jeon Bong-Ae (played by Hwang Young-Hee) is flipping through Baek Hyun-Woo's (played by Kim Soo-Hyun) baby pictures when Seon-Hwa asks to join her.

As she flips through the pages, she stops and says she recognizes a photo of a beach with a group of kids walking on the shore. Bong-Ae tells her that Hyun-Woo joined a children's Marine Corps Camp and saved a kid from drowning.

This makes viewers wonder who really saved Hae-in from drowning on that beach.
