HITTG is very much better but Queen of tears covers similar territory: class politics (in a silly and terrible way), family structures, patriarchy..Both centred around rich upper class families struggling to maintain power in the face of numerous crises and their own ineptitude. But in HITTG, the revolution is desired and welcomed
Dramas are not similar but I'm recommending Arthdal Chronicles Season 1 for fans of Kim Ji Won as she was excellent here (as well as Song Joong Ki, who made a cameo here in Queen of Tears). Arthdal has 2 seasons yet Kim Ji Won appeared only in the first season. Season 1 is divided into three parts, of which this specific part is the second (this is the part where she performed her famous dance scene).

both have:
- estranged spouse realizing they are actually still in love with each other and are the only ones that got each other back
- these realizations are triggered by death/near death event.
- female lead has higher status than male lead
- the female leads have another courter and the male leads are jealous over them

Both dramas feature a lover who stays deeply faithful, standing by their partner through every hardship — even when the other person seems distant, cold, or unaware of their devotion. There’s also a fun corporate side to both stories!
In Queen of Tears, it’s the male lead who holds onto love no matter what, while in Bel Ami, it’s the female lead. If you liked the chemistry and emotional dynamic in Bel Ami, you’ll definitely enjoy Queen of Tears too — it’s like a more mature version of that chemistry. ??

their relationship is kinda similar bc in the present we see them struggle with their relationship and theyre not in sync they fight and we see flashbacks when their relationship was good so in both cases we wondered what went wrong in their relationship and throughout the series we see the reasons of why the relationship failed and we see how they reconcile again and that they always have loved each other its just that the circumstances prevented them from resolving their conflict and basically miscommunication between the two
