Queenmaker as the name suggests actually stands for the name, it’s a game of politics and as we all know politics need to be dirty, it comprises murders, sexual assaults, ending people’s careers, and whatnot. However, at the end of the show, we all find that only one queen remains, and the original queen who held the throne had to leave. However, it’s just not the queen’s tale, it’s the tale of how the queen is made and the person who makes the queen, the real mastermind, and the person whose main goal was to dethrone the existing queen. Now if you are thinking it’s a royal tale, no it’s a tale of one great conglomerate and the great empire they have created over years and one single lady who was seen just as a loyal dog, but she has the entire power to bring everything down.
Now based on the audience reaction and ratings the show is a massive hit, fans from all over the world have been showing love to the show and if you have already watched the show, you do know how great of a show it is, the story of Hwang Do-hee and the Eunsung groups, however something that we have struck all of us is the ending which is really confusing as the entire plan of Baek Jae Min falls and Carl Yoon isn’t able to do anything. Following that at the end, we see an unexpected change of events on the part of Hwang Do Hee and everything surely gets scattered.
However, no worries as we are bringing you every question that hasn’t been answered properly in the series, and following that we are also going to give you a proper explanation of the ending of the show.
Queenmaker Season 1 Ending Explained
The last episode of the show is surely the climax of the show and something that unraveled all the mysteries all the questions, and everything that has been keeping us so hooked on the show. Now for all those who are a bit confused about what happened firstly we get to see from the start of the planned murder of Guk Ji Yeon, which Baek Jae Min had already planned, now currently while everything has been planned, and it is brought to the world that Guk is going to commit suicide and it is Oh Seung Sook who got her into doing this or as we may say her right-hand person Hwang Do Hee, everything turns into a session of slandering between the two candidates while both end up in a through battle of ruining each others image.
While all this is going on, Hwang do Hee chases the cars where Guk is being taken away and somehow she manages to get her safe from there and finally gets her to the hospital where she is kept under safe custody and nobody is let off information. Soon after this, we get to see that Hwang brings her out in front of the world and makes her admit that the child is actually Baek’s that he had sexually assaulted one of the employees before and forced her to commit suicide and that he was also having an affair with her. This ended up making the election one-sided while Hwang and Oh sat on the pinnacle of victory.
Now following this we get to see that Son Young Sim has been betrayed by her own daughter who after succeeding in her own company, and Oh gets elected as the new mayor, everything is going well while Baek is planned and killed by Son Young Sim using the help of Carl Yoon because he was of no use and wastage to her. However it was also known by Baek that it was Carl who made his father commit suicide in the past and, he was left traumatized by it, this information was also given to him by Hwang. Following this, the truth comes out that Hwang has been using the funds from the Eunsung company for campaigning which was illegal and she took the complete blame on her so that Oh can continue doing her good work.
Soon we end up seeing at the end that Hwang is also in prison and someone has come to meet her asking for a hand of help to work against Oh, which also gives us a chance for another season of the show.
What Was Carl Yoon’s Connection With Baek Jae Min?
Carl Yoon was actually the minister who ended up blackmailing Baek Jae Min’s father into resigning from his office of power and then committing suicide in the end. However, he came back and thought about helping Baek Jae Min, just not because the Eunsung group was one of his clients but also because of the fact that he wanted to do something for Baek because of the guilt he was suffering from killing his father.
It was both ways that it worked, Carl was doing it for his guilt, and at the same time, it wasn’t like he was not going to gain anything from helping the Eunsung family, we were obviously going to get paid. Now other than this the previous connection between Carl Yoon and the Eunsung family is still unknown and those may be revealed in season 2.
Was Hwang Do Hee’s Father Killed By Carl Yoon And Why Did She Keep It From Her Husband?
Now it is not yet clear whether Carl Yoon had planned for Hwang’s father to be killed, but it was sure he tried to scare her, and it was he who ended up kidnapping the man and taking him to a field where he will be left all alone and he wouldn’t have the sense to take care of himself or come back in any way.
The truck driver hitting the man may be, something he also even hadn’t planned and it just worsened the situation for Hwang but acted for a better cause when it comes to Carl. Now Hwang may have kept the news of her father’s death from her husband because of the relationship both of them shared, firstly they were rivals during the election, and they had already gone through a divorce which made it bitter for both of them. However, there also lies a fact that maybe she didn’t want him to get affected or maybe it was just out of anger from what he did just a few moments back with Oh’s son.
What Was The Main Aim Of Hwang Do Hee?
The main aim of Hwang Do Hee is still quite a mystery based on the type of ending we have received at the end of the show, first of all, we know that she was completely after taking revenge from Son Young Sim, which was one of the main reason she conspired with her daughter and following that it is also true that she helped Oh come into power because she understood what this rich person of the conglomerates was after and how they didn’t value about anything, then the death of her father, was also something she needed to take revenge for.
Following this, the incident of Baek Jae Min and his sexual assault of an employee and tricking Hwang into helping him to get rid of her was something that started the entire fight. However, if she was just doing it for some wealth or something else, will only be known in season 2.
