Queen of Tears

Hype drama

I watched this bc it was popular but I did NOT enjoy watching it. I wanted to find out WHY it was popular.

Most episodes were just ... frustrating bc the FL was super closed off and also quite mean and very egoistical and mental.... she did not follow her heart much and she did not THINK before she took actions...

So my payoff came late in the drama, when I learned of FL past. and then I connected the dots, how trauma in childhood, esp parental abuse and/or neglect influences people..... It is a miracle that FL was alive and functional... some other kid would have collapsed, like the villain did..

So my payout was watching the villain being caught in that field at the end and realizing how his difficult life and criminal mother shaped him to be a villain - and he didnt escape since he had no resources and supporters to guide him...
and how the FL was so lucky to survive HER mother's abuse and to stay somewhat funcitonal adult because she kept latching onto allies and she kept herself busy in productive ways...

A true love story

One of my favorite dramas from the last five years has been Queen of Tears. This drama is based on a true love story. It tells the emotional love story of Baek Hyun-woo, a man from a small village who works for the powerful Queens Group as a lawyer, and Hong Hae-in, the heiress to a luxury department store empire. Their relationship is filled with love, heartbreak, misunderstandings, and sacrifices, but no matter what challenges they face, they continue to fight for each other.

At the beginning of the drama, we see a couple whose marriage appears completely broken. They sleep in separate beds, rarely talk, and when they do, it usually ends in an argument or is about the business and money. Yet through flashbacks, we see how deeply Baek Hyun-woo once loved Hae-in. He would do anything for her, and although Hae-in often appeared cold and distant, she showed a softer and gentler side whenever she was with him. Their was a cute scene while she is sitting in back of a car and asking her driver to follow up to admire Baek from a distance. Their wedding felt like a fairy tale, and Baek even promised that he would never make Hae-in cry. Everything seemed perfect until we slowly discover what drove them apart.

The turning point in their marriage was the loss of their baby. Hae-in shut herself off emotionally, while both of them buried their grief instead of communicating. Now Baek decides he wants a divorce, even though he fears the reaction of Hae-in’s powerful family. Just as he finally works up the courage to tell her, she reveals that she has a brain tumor and needs surgery. Baek is shocked, and although his initial reaction is relief that he won’t have to divorce her if she dies, he quickly begins treating her with more kindness and care.

As the story progresses, Hae-in’s former classmate enters the picture, creating tension and jealousy. Baek’s feelings for Hae-in become impossible to ignore, and moments like him saving her from a wild boar attack show just how much he still loves her. Hae-in was taken back that he would risk his life for her. Slowly, the feelings they buried begin to resurface, she even catches him researching places to help with her cancer treatments.

The most emotional part of the drama is Hae-in’s illness. Her health deteriorates, she suffers memory problems, and she sometimes collapses unexpectedly. We had an emotional moment where she forgets she is sick and that Baek and her aren’t on good terms and she’s happy, but it breaks Baek. During this time, she also discovers that Baek had planned to divorce her, which causes even more pain and distance between them. Despite this, the story beautifully portrays two people falling in love with each other all over again.

There are so many unforgettable moments: their passionate kisses, emotional embraces, and the devastating car crash scene where Baek believes Hae-in has died. That moment perfectly captures the depth of his love. Another powerful scene is when Hae-in says she no longer wants to live because of her suffering, followed later by her decision that she wants to keep living and experience life with Baek by her side. “All I ever wanted you was by my side”



The drama was already emotional because of the promises they made to each other and the admiration they shared. However, once Hae-in’s condition worsened, the emotions became overwhelming. Whenever they cried together, it felt impossible not to cry along with them.

My favorite moment comes after Hae-in’s surgery when she can no longer remember Baek. Watching her read the journal she had written and slowly regain her memories of him was heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. The amount of crying, longing, and love throughout this drama made every emotional scene hit even harder. The ending was perfect of them having a kid and showing many tears later when they are old of baek at Hae-in grave. A memorable moment in the drama is when he said ""If you die before I do, I'm going to live one more day and then follow you. How will I ever live without you?"Hae-in responds with an equally touching promise: "Let's say a lot of time passed, and you died. Then I'll become an angel to pick you up. If I show up, it'll be less scary for you."

While I loved most of the drama, the murder and villain storyline wasn’t my favorite part and I do wish we had 1 or 2 episodes of them 10-20 years later in life. I was much more invested in the romance and emotional healing between the main couple, even though all characters brought something to this drama. What stood out most to me was how deeply Baek loved Hae-in. He consistently sacrificed everything for her, and I have rarely seen a male lead portrayed with that level of devotion. His emotional breakdowns, drunken scenes, and moments of vulnerability were heartbreaking but also provided some of the show’s funniest moments.


Overall, Queen of Tears is one of the most emotional romance dramas I have ever watched. It is a story about grief, forgiveness, healing, and finding your way back to the person you love. Despite a few plot elements that didn’t work for me, the love story between Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in is one that I will not forget anytime soon

Queen of Fillers

I had high hopes for this drama after watching the first 7/8 episodes. I was hoping it would be almost as good as Crash Landing on You but unfortunately it didn’t deliver.

I’ll give it credit for the good things first: the acting was top notch across the board. Some of the emotional scenes did make me cry. The storyline in the first half of the show was really engaging and they set up a great premise.

But a few things made it fall short:
- I think the story about the MLs marriage could have been handled better but it was done in a superficial way, mostly through flashbacks. They focused mainly on the romance, in both the past and present. But this was not enough to really tell the story about how and why their marriage fell apart, and really flesh out the main characters. They should have used episodes 1-4 for this purpose but they didn’t.
- there were a few too many filler scenes/episodes in the second half of the show, up until the last 2 episodes where they quickly wrapped all the storyline’s up in a convenient way. There were a few things that didn’t make logical sense especially around the FL’s memory loss (it was very inconsistent). This made it hard to suspend disbelief. It would have been much better if they used more time in the final episodes to develop the plot, rather than for filler. There were too many romantic scenes that seemed almost repetitive in the second half.

What are 10 good things about this series?

1. *Fresh pairing of the leads and their extraordinary performance...*
I didn't have a good impression of the male lead Kim so hyun ..as he always makes a straight face...and it feels very boring...but this time I witnessed an improvement in his performance...he was pretty expressive in delivery of emotions....the female lead Kim ji won has always been in my good books and she retained her impression this time too with her out of ordinary performance...
2. *Female lead's character and it's development ...*
The character development in story though was below satisfactory overall but it was pretty good in case of female lead's character...she is shown to be a girl with cold posture but a warm heart ....she has got strong nerves ... pretty inspiring how she carries herself even in the direst of the situations... there's no paradox and throughout the drama she justified her character outline... even after losing her memory and stuff...
Also she loved the male lead throughout the drama... unlike male lead who was initially shown to be very selfish and later become a saint for reason never disclosed to audience..
3. *Touch of Humor from beginning to end*
For me humor is the highlight of this drama...
Of course not denying it to be an emotional rollercoaster...as there is pretty good amount of sadness and tragedy...But it carries a very good proportion of humor...and this lifted the heavyweight of many dark scenes...and this humor starts from the very1st epi and goes all the way till last epi.... unlike many dramas that start on a light note and become darker taking even the slightest humor left...
4. *Family love and reality*
In comparison to other subjects of this series...this theme has been presented more realistically...no matter the apparent manifestation of expressions and meanness in behavior and conduct..you r always together in adversity.. support each other...love and care for each other...this is what defines a family...
5. *Pretty entertaining Supporting characters*
The character of aunt...who married 3 times...her temper nd stuff...
The character of brothers and sisters...their competition... jealousy...and fights
Villagers .. ( the gossip monger ladies)
secretaries (particularly the female secretary)..
parents...
And even villains everyone performed really well
6. *Scenery, style, shooting and stuff*
Scenes have been choreographed really well ..nature... beautiful landscapes...and the styling of the cast... particularly the wardrobe of ji won is amazing...and gives an aesthetic touch to the screen
7. *Emotional stuff and tear load*
Power struggle... poverty... deception... disease... breakup... Jealousy and even love including many other things one can't control becoming victim of...and the ensuing helplessness that lingers in such situations...brings the scenes where you can't hold back your tears and they are quite many... however thanks to the intermittent humor the air gets less heavier...
8. * Happy conclusion *
Though this series is loaded with tragic turns but somehow everything concluded on a positive note...just like in fairy tales...
Family feuds... terminal disease... misunderstandings... selfishness.... revenge...hate and love everything has been shown in a smoothest and most dramatic way it can be presented... there's no tragedy as such... script is made Happy to the point it looks unnatural and unreal...
9. *Mixture of genres*
It caters to the interests of different kind of audiences as it has family...friendship... Money ...marriage... divorce...revenge...power struggle... business...city-village life...broken families... childhood traumas and much more...
10. *Unrealistically hopeful story*
Good for those who prefer touch of fantasy in dramas...

Watchable if you are ready to skip a lot

I was very puzzled by the reviews of this show, because most were either very high or very low. I think I get it now. There are probably two types of viewers. Those who are utterly charmed by the main couple, and their story line, so that they ignore all else, and those who can't overlook all the major flaws. I might have been in the later category, but I addressed that by fast forwarding a lot.

So what works? The main couple. That's pretty much it. But that made the show enjoyable to me. Aside from both of them being ridiculously photogenic, their romantic arc is very well done. A beuatiful story with some nice ups and downs. There was one other couple storyline that surprisingly caught my attention towards the end (a redemption story), but that was really it.

What didn't work? Everything else. The villains in the story, and the storyline around them was so exaggerated, they might as well be a Disney villain. After a while, whenever i saw them, I just skipped ahead.

There was also the typical "dumb goofy people from the countryside". I admit i dont know a lot about the real Korea, but is everyone outside the big cities dumb and goofy? If not, and assume that's the case, someone should tell these writers to stop portraying them that way. So when they popped up, and started withthe goofy slapstick comedy, I skipped.

All in all, 6 was a charitable grade. But if you're ready to use the power of your fast forward button, the romantic storyline is beautiful.

This Drama Came at the Right Time

The way I wait every week just for this drama's episodes to come out. I rarely write reviews, and ESPECIALLY before I have even finished the drama. But PLEASE I am OBSESSED with this drama. The whole cast is doing so well, and of course the main leads are stealing the show!! Their acting and expressions are so on point that I get absorbed in it. The way Kim Soo Hyun has such a variety of expressions!! I will update this review after I finish it, but this drama came at such a perfect time. I fee like there weren't too many interesting dramas airing right now but I finally have one I can enjoy each week. Also props to the cinematography, it makes me want to rewind just to see the camera angles/edits. It's so pretty. And I have been listening tp the posts religiously!! Highly recommend this drama, it truly put me in tears with the mixture of bittersweet romance. Episode 11 was the best one so far! You all should watch it and give it a chance if you haven't already!!!

THE GUY IS NOT IT

First I want to uncover this fl to really explain how trash the ml is

Our female lead is a business driven girl who has the pressure of upholding her family's business while recently suffering from a miscarriage that led her husband to stop talking to her because she removed the baby furniture and didn't explain why like BOY SHE JUST HAD A MISCARRIAGE. Also out ml first presented himself as understanding the fl has a hard time expressing emotions then suddenly he didn't like that for the same exact reason????

Another thing is that when the female lead was dying he was happy since he didn't have file a divorce, cause either the writers are psychopaths or they were very sleep deprived because the I would never wish death or be happy to my greatest enemies , I would probably feel sad that the only time they can have fun and not be stressed about something was when they got diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Plus when she found the divorce contract and got that whole horrendous speech from our ml about how he hates her and wishes death. And it took him being drunk and a ' I actually love her' to clear up that all is crazy.

Also the writers using the female lead's family becoming broke and having to stay with the ml is crazy. Like isn't he also a top lawyer who rose up because of his wife :/

And also childhood trope shit annoys me so fucking much!


Bye Bye lovely people!

Love may be sparked by feeling but Love is an action word motivated by commitment.

Queen of Tears is being re-released marathon-style this weekend (6/3-5/26) in Korea. This feels like the perfect opportunity to revisit and review one of my favorite dramas and also respond to some of the criticism I’ve seen out there.

To those who have thoughtfully articulated their criticisms on various sites, I respect you for clearly explaining your perspectives. However, to those who gave this drama a low rating after dropping it within the first three episodes, to keep ratings fair, I would respectfully suggest placing those early impressions in the comments section rather than the review section.

—The Acting

I believe the director of Queen of Tears used a restrained acting style between Kim Soo-Hyun and Kim Ji-Won for Baek Hyun-woo’s and Hong Hae-in’s characters. Meaning there was more silence and less dialogue, with much of the communication happening through eyes, facial expressions, delayed reactions, and unspoken emotions. I can see were this approach drew viewers into Baek/Hong's thoughts and feelings, making us experience their emotional journeys alongside them.

For me, much of the drama’s suspense came from these moments rather than from cliffhangers at the end of episodes. IMO, both Kim Ji-won and Kim Soo-hyun portrayed their characters with remarkable refinement and skill. Each displayed the wide acting range necessary to create truly multidimensional characters, the kind that we all love to watch.

Not only can Kim Soo-hyun portray profound sorrow, but he also excels at restraint. He masterfully utilizes subtle gestures and micro-expressions, communicating volumes without words. I’ve seen most of his dramas as well as Secretly Greatly. Never have I seen him display more varied gestures, expressions, or personality traits within a single character than he did with Baek Hyun-woo. As BHW, he convincingly portrayed boyish innocence, explosive anger, intense longing, devastating heartbreak, emotional collapse, and everything in between.

To the critics, how is that not great acting? But Kim Soo-hyun needs no defense from me.

Kim Ji-won has evolved into an exceptionally dynamic actress. I first enjoyed her performance in Descendants of the Sun, but there is a night-and-day difference between her acting range then and what she delivered in Queen of Tears. She gave us a subtly layered Hong Hae-in: a strong, uncompromising Type-A personality who is fiercely defiant but too proud to openly express emotions that might be perceived as weakness. Some of her funniest moments came through her indirect expressions of affection; asking leading questions, offering backhanded compliments, or scolding Hyun-woo before admitting he made her heart flutter. These moments, in my view, highlighted just how difficult it was for her to communicate genuine romantic feelings. As Hae-in’s journey with her illness and her relationship with BHW progressed, Kim Ji-won revealed her character’s deepest vulnerabilities at precisely the right moments and in exactly the right measure, making her both believable and relatable.

Queen of Tears would not have been the same story without both Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won. They were equals as actors, just as their characters were equals as man and wife. To reviewers or critics who say they had little or no chemistry is, in my opinion, to not have watched it or to have watched it with a heavy bias against one or both actors.

—The Character Development

*Kim Soo-hyun once remarked in an interview that Baek Hyun-woo begins the story as a loser. He was right. Hyun-woo was passive, submissive, and immature in his understanding of love. He believed enduring mistreatment without protest was an expression of devotion. Being constantly wounded by the Hong family—including his wife—became unbearable. He couldn't fight his circumstances so he convinced himself that he hated her as was revealed in the meeting with his psychiatrist (oh, the clever irony seeing Oh Jung Se as the psychiatrist. )

It would be no surprise that with that mindset, divorce was his only escape. Then came the shocking realization of Hae-In's impending death. We are to believe life with HHI and the Hongs was that unbearable. Again with his mindset, this would conveniently solve his problems. I agree with KSH and other critics, he was a loser and a coward.

*Hae-in sounded as though she understood what love was when she spoke to Eun-sung when he asked her about their relationship. In reality, she was every bit as immature as her husband. She seemed to believe that as long as Hyun-woo remained “by her side,” they would be alright. He said he would always be there, didn’t he?

At the beginning of the story, we see how thoroughly she has adopted her family’s arrogant sense of superiority, which justifies mistreating those of lower status for personal gain, even when that person is her husband. In the nursery removal scene, she hid behind that arrogance as a way of coping with the miscarriage.

These Baek-Hong warts are the foundation of QOT.

*While utterly foolish, Yang-gi’s suggestion that Hyun-woo pretend to love Hae-in in order to secure a place in her will became a blessing in disguise. Or…, perhaps it was a calculated move by Yang-gi to help his best friend see the truth beneath all the hurt. I doubt the latter, but it shows how much Yang-gi is in his BFF's court because he has witnessed BHW's life for the last 3+ years,

*Even though Hyun-woo cannot truly pull off hating Hae-in, he remained a coward by resisting the urge to start anything romantically with her. As her condition deteriorates, however, his resolve gradually crumbles and we see that buried love for her begin to reignite because, well, he never hated her to begin with. I loved when his mother scolded him later on when he confessed HHI's terminal condition. She was a strong woman with a gentle, loving spirit. If I had her for a mother, because I knew she loved me so much, that scolding would have been worse than any beating or rant.

*Of course, the pivotal moment for BHW comes in Germany. With both completely defeated, he deliberately provokes a divorce battle from Hae-in, not because he wants to leave her but because he desperately wants her to live. He gives her something to fight for, even if it is not with him. I believe this is where Baek Hyun-woo embraces what love truly is—not merely a feeling, but a choice and a commitment expressed through action.

In helping the Hong family escape to Yongdu-ri, Hyun-woo proves that love by devoting himself completely to protecting Hae-in and her family. We later learn that he contacted hundreds of cancer centers around the world in search of treatment options for her because he is desperate to keep her alive.

*Hae-in’s growth begins when she finally “wins” the divorce (props to Vincenzo / Song Joong Ki). It's at that point she begins to examine herself honestly and see Hyun-woo for who he truly is, the only man she could ever love. She realizes that he gives her a reason to live and that she cannot bear the thought of a future without him, in life or in death. For a fiercely independent and emotionally guarded woman, this was enormous character development.

When she found herself separated from the pressures of her corporate life in Yongdu-ri, Hae-in dropped her guard and, around Hyun Woo, she revealed a softer side she may never have known existed. The ultimate expression of her selfless love for HW came during the press conference, where she exposed Eun-sung's deeds in order to protect him.

Beyond Baek-Hong, the overall family relationships ultimately reinforced one of the drama’s central themes: that love outweighs money, status, and power. When they lost it all, they could finally see and appreciate each other.

*Beom-ja, although initially too eccentric to be taken seriously, became a scene-stealer, who consistently provided much-needed comic relief. She had been right along about Moh Seul-hee.

*Yang-gi also stole nearly every scene he appeared in (loved him). For me, his final scene with Hyun-woo in the car was one of the most memorable moments involving any supporting character in the entire drama. He was the friend to the end and he didn't want to lose him.

*Eun-sung’s, wonderfully portrayed by Park Sung-hoon,character arc never truly evolved beyond his obsession with possessing Hae-in and controlling Queens Group. He was still a juvenile wearing a 5,000,000 KRW suit. Despite the writers’ efforts, I don't believe viewers ever developed meaningful sympathy for him or for his mother, Moh Seul-hee. We were reminded how terrible a mother she was, more times than necessary.

Eun-sung did nothing to weaken the Baek-Hong relationship. If anything, he strengthened it. Despite all their resentment and misunderstandings, neither Hyun-woo nor Hae-in looked elsewhere. Eun-sung was never going to have a chance.

—The Story, the Second Half, HHI's Illness, Plot Extremes, and Valid Criticisms

Queen of Tears was approximately two years in the making, including about a year of filming. Across its roughly 23-hour runtime, Studio Dragon delivered a beautiful story about two people who had forgotten how deeply they loved each other and who rediscovered that buried love after a life-threatening tragedy nearly ended their relationship forever. It’s worth remembering that the drama was reportedly inspired, in part, by the real-life story of a Samsung heiress who married a regular employee.

Stories, fables, and even biblical narratives often use extreme or unrealistic circumstances to communicate deeper truths. I view many K-dramas through a similar lens. Not every detail needs to be realistic or true to life if the emotional truth resonates. This is why I can accept some of the more exaggerated elements of Queen of Tears. Even if one could dismiss parts of the story as unrealistic (real life often proves stranger than fiction, by the way), as someone who loved the drama, I can acknowledge its flaws.

* IMO too much screen time was devoted to the mechanics of the conspiracy against the Hong family. The writer and director likely felt it necessary to illustrate the lengths psychopaths will go to in pursuit of power and wealth, but I was not heavily invested in all of the related side characters and their storylines. Some of that time could have been spent further developing the Baek-Hong relationship.

* The Hong family—excluding Hae-in—sometimes came across as baphoonery in their trust of people who clearly sought to exploit them. Also, I found it difficult to believe, at first, that Hae-in’s mother remained trapped in grief over her son’s death for so many years, but truthfully, some people never fully recover from such losses.

* Grandfather, who trusted every word Baek said, suddenly placed his faith in a complete stranger and eventually removed Hyun-woo from the board. That transition felt uncharacteristic and unrealistically abrupt.

* The collapse of Queens Group and the attempted destruction of Hyun-woo’s legal reputation is where some viewers felt the drama lost focus. With so many moving parts, keeping track of everything started to get challenging. Grace’s role as a double agent often felt like a wrench thrown into the machinery of the plot.

* The exile to Yongdu-ri introduced additional storylines, some of which felt unnecessary.

Yet, the central focus did remain the Baek-Hong relationship. Every major event either contributed to or reflected their gradual surrender to the love they had spent years suppressing, even burying.

* Critics who argue that Hae-in’s illness lacked realism make a very fair point. It did show some of her illness’ effects, but the drama could and should have done more to show more of the effects of her illness. She was in the hospital once, briefly, but recouped amazingly quick. But wait…., she’s dying, isn’t she she? Also, her post-surgery recovery was far more glamorous than reality would allow. Still, those shortcomings were not deal-breakers for me. KDramas tend to lack that medical realism unless it's actually a medical drama.

* The arrest in Germany, the kidnapping, the hit-and-run, Hyun-woo somehow leaving the emergency room in one piece, and the winter gunshot sequence all pushed the boundaries of plausibility. But most of these 2nd half plot twists or narrative devices were designed to intensify the emotional climax between Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in. They forced the building of a new relationship between two people who thought they knew each other but, in some respects, were strangers.

Alchemy of Souls was pure fantasy (one of my least favorite genres) yet audiences embraced it because they connected emotionally with the characters. The same principle applies here.

—Why I Still Rate It So Highly

Even someone who loves Queen of Tears can acknowledge its flaws and still give it a 9 or 10.

Why?

Because, taken as a whole, the drama speaks to the heart.

I have never been wealthy, nor did I marry into a wealthy family. Yet the relationship between Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in reminded me of my own marriage. Both our love for each other was immature in the beginning and we definitely experienced our share of dramatic and difficult moments. Then, in our sixth year together, my husband began suffering life-altering medical episodes while still appearing healthy on the outside. A year later, he died. Looking back on our life together, I felt like I could have been a better partner and blamed myself for a long time over mostly trivial things. What I wanted was for him to come back. Anyway, I eventually realized something important: he never held my shortcomings or my mistakes (big and little) against me. He had made plenty of his own. And I never held his mistakes against him either. In retrospect, we always understood that about each other, even during our worst moments.

That realization changed how I viewed Queen of Tears. Forgiveness and acceptance are two of the highest forms of love in action.

—Why is Queen of Tears a treasured story for many?

I am certain I am not the only viewer who found pieces of their own life reflected in this drama.

Queen of Tears may contain over-the-top moments, but many viewers accept them because extraordinary moments exist in ordinary lives. We just don’t read about them every day. In the end, despite its plot holes, detours, and occasional excesses, Queen of Tears succeeds where it matters most:

It reminds us that love is not merely something we feel. Love is a choice. It is an action word. And it is not for the faint of heart.

Drama of the Year 2024

Certamente o Drama of the Year 2024! Tudo ali é maravilhoso! A trilha sonora é marcante, a história é bem desenvolvida e bem amarrada, e a atuação dos protagonistas interpretados por Kim Ji-won é Kim So-hyun beira a perfeição. A química entre os dois então nem se fala, não conseguiria pensar em atores melhores para o papel. Os personagens secundários também contribuíram para o desenrolar da trama de maneira maravilhosa. Desde “Reply 1988” e “Tudo Bem Não Ser Normal” (que não coincidentemente o protagonista também é o Kim So-hyun) que eu não me emocionava tanto. Qualquer nota diferente de 10 seria um erro!

Dislikable FL, another toxic KDrama Chebol Family

I´ve began watching this drama because everyone liked it. I myself can´t swallow another episode. The FL is so dislikable! A woman so selfsentered, selfish, narcissistic and with tamper tantrums. Nothing on this woman for me to emphacise! Well, hopefully the actress does her job very well in depicting this character. I myself wouldn´t want to play such a narcissistic human! I got also heavily triggerd, but that´s my personal problem. The ML is this very sensitive man, I did like him very much. I can not watch any more, because I wish for the ML to get a divorce or that the FL dies. But that´s not going to happen, it´s a romantic drama after all! Her family it the steriotipical toxic KDrama Chebol Family. That´s not a new concept at all. For real, it´s getting old! Everyone is against each other. I can depict the ending in my head, and I´m going to be dissapointed, so I´m not going to watch any more.

It´s just my opinion, but I don´t understand, why everyone likes this Drama.

Story: nothing new, the chebol family is toxic, the FL and ML struggle through their difficulties for a happy ending, while hurting each other along the way. So much I find it hard to understand, why they endure all this suffering!

Acting: very good cast. All of the acters so long play their roles belivable. Good actors after all! Side note: I find, that the FL and ML have no chemistry, but that´s probably because of the story. The actor of the ML has this cold, distand demenear in every one of his roles I watched so far, but can appear very sensitive and lovable.

Musik: appropriate sad soft balads. fits the drama

Rewatch Value: none for me

Overall: 5,5/10
