“Queen of Divorce" episode 11 recap

Unraveling the mystery: The death of Sa-ra’s mother

The secret behind the death of Sa-ra’s mom comes to light, showing her final moments. In a tragic turn, Yul-seong unintentionally causes her to fall from the factory roof while trying to extract details about the proof she had for the authorities. Presently, Yul-seong learns of the driver’s mishap and discovers the vehicle was hired by Kang Bom.

Sa-ra receives instructions to return to the Cha residence and act as if she wasn’t present at the event. There, Yul-seong inquires if Kang Bom had a hand in the mishap, suspecting his own mother’s involvement in Sa-ra’s mom’s fate.

In a heated moment, Sa-ra confronts Cha Hui-won about her suspicions in Yul-seong’s presence, catching Hui-won off guard and prompting her to think of a strategy. Hui-won dismisses Sa-ra and probes Yul-seong, who denies any wrongdoing and deflects by questioning Hui-won’s driver’s whereabouts.

A tangled web of deceit: Confrontations and confessions

In “Queen of Divorce” episode 11, tension increases as Hui-won senses deceit and orders an investigation into the driver’s identity from the day of the tragedy. Meanwhile,Ki-joon tells Sa-ra that the driver is in a deep sleep because of his injuries and there’s no one else who saw what happened. Determined, Sa-ra devises a plan to extract a confession from those responsible, assigning Jang-mi a new role in her scheme.

Jang-mi stirs the pot among the elite, spreading rumors of discord between Hui-won and Yul-seong. When the gossip reaches Hui-won and she learns of Yul-seong’s actions on the fateful day, her fury ignites.

Hui-won’s anger peaks when she confronts an absent Yul-seong and discovers the driver’s phone, previously missing from the crash site. Yul-seong’s lack of cooperation only fuels her rage. Sa-ra observes the turmoil and intensifies the situation by sending a provocative message from the driver’s “brother” to Hui-won, implicating Yul-seong.

Frustrated, Hui-won asks for help from the police chief to reprimand Yul-seong. The following day, as Sa-ra heads to Solution, she notices she’s being tailed and cleverly diverts to Young-a’s office, alerting Yul-seong to allay any doubts.

At Solution, Sa-ra encounters Ji-in, who arrives with news about the Five Members Society, but is shocked by Sa-ra’s remarriage. As Ji-in departs, Sa-ra clarifies the situation. Elsewhere, Kang Bom monitors the driver, who is unexpectedly whisked away from the hospital.

Back in “Queen of Divorce,” Kang Bom and Dae-ki tail the driver, but an attack forces them to retreat. Ki-joon equips Sa-ra with tools to navigate treacherous waters and evade surveillance. Simultaneously, Yul-seong faces interrogation, initially suspecting Sa-ra’s involvement, only to discover his mother’s betrayal.

Confronting his mother, he receives a stern warning not to cross her again. In a desperate move, Yul-seong coerces the kidnapped driver into a ploy against his mother. The driver’s subsequent confession implicates Hui-won in Yu-mi’s murder, leading to a dramatic escape.

In the latest twist of events, Yul-seong can’t shake off his doubts about Sa-ra. When Sa-ra spots a maid in her quarters, her own suspicions grow, leading her to discover a hidden listening device. She dashes off to inform Hui-won, who is also bugged, sparking a fiery confrontation with Yul-seong.

In “Queen of Divorce” episode 11, the tension escalates when Hui-won admits to her role in Yu-mi’s death. As Yul-seong is on the verge of his own confession, he spots another device and diverts the conversation to the garden. There, he accuses Sa-ra of stirring the pot and urges Hui-won to keep up appearances for the Law Town project.

Sa-ra’s frustration mounts when she fails to extract Yul-seong’s admission. Her suspicion is confirmed when she catches him searching her room for the planted devices. The story gets more complicated when Dae-ki looks for a driver who has run away, but then finds out from Ki-joon that the driver was caught because he gambled a lot of money.

As the investigation closes in on Yul-seong, Hui-won dons a mask of innocence at dinner. Sa-ra’s abrupt phone call, supposedly from Kang Bom, is actually a ruse to expose the driver’s misdeeds to Yul-seong, hinting at impending jail time for one of them.

The drama peaks when the police come for Yul-seong, armed with an arrest warrant for Yu-mi’s murder. In a cunning move, he pins the crime on his mother. As they’re hauled away, Yul-seong coldly advises Hui-won to take the fall, promising to look after Chayul and secure her release.

Yul-seong reassures Young-a that Hui-won is out of the picture and sets his sights on the Law Town initiative, hinting at a secret strategy. Meanwhile, Sa-ra is also quietly preparing her own countermove. The moment of truth arrives, but Yul-seong is greeted by an empty room and then led to a shocking revelation by Sa-ra and Ki-joon.

Hee-jin steps forward, unveiling damning evidence against Yul-seong and Hui-won, shattering Yul-seong’s carefully crafted facade and laying bare Hui-won’s misdeeds.

Yul-seong’s escape?

Episode 11 concludes with Yul-seong’s narrow escape, but Sa-ra’s thirst for justice remains unquenched. She’s determined to see him behind bars. The plot takes another turn when Professor Seo awakens, and Ki-joon seizes the opportunity to secure his testimony. But with the case reopened and Ki-joon’s once-traitorous friend now leading the charge, Yul-seong faces even greater peril.

Celebratory flowers in hand, Sa-ra joins Ki-joon, both resolute in their mission to bring Yul-seong’s misdeeds to light and close the case once and for all.

“Queen of Divorce" episode 11 review

“Queen of Divorce” is nearing its climax with episode 11, signaling that the storyline involving Yul-seong is wrapping up. As the final week kicks off, the tension is mounting. Sa-ra, on her part, has consistently found ways to overcome obstacles, with Ki-joon by her side offering unwavering support. Their relationship is definitely setting positive examples, and it’s quite enjoyable to watch. Let's see how Yul-seong will respond to the challenges posed by the Sa-Ki duo.

Hee-jin’s return to the scene was predictable and lacked the thrill of past events. Meanwhile, the romance between Kang Bom and Dae-ki is flourishing, and seeing their relationship development is great~
