In spite of its a few flaws
In spite of its a few flaws, while watching the drama, you don't think about its flaws...while watching it, you don't notice them at all. I say that these flaws are not important because you will enjoy enough while watching the series and you will not care at all what is missing in the drama...in fact Your eyes are only locked on Hae In and Hyun Woo* In my opinion, this series did not need a few more episodes, but only a few more sequences were needed to clarify the issues that need to be closed...

This show beat my prejudice towards it
I heard about this show from the several blogs and news articles about the record viewers and also the high ratings. I'm usually very critical of this, especially because usually my personal taste clashes with that of the general K-Drama audience. But wow, what a surprise this was.I'm not going to do a spoiler review here, because I believe part of the joy of this show is to see the events unfold. Many common tropes were used, but that is not a negative when done well. I really took my time to reflect on the characters and their choices as I went along, and it was a really enjoyable exercise. I find myself enriched after this show, although with a clump of nostalgia and sadness somewhere within, like losing a dear person you won't be able to meet again. I really enjoyed the male MC, maybe a bit too perfect, but someone I'd aspire to be as a man in many ways.
Regardless of it all, I suggest you give it a shot. The episodes are pretty lengthy, but that is something I learned to love of K-Drama.

Best acting of 2024 as of now with a "could be better " plot wise!
To be fair, for me the rating is actually something like 8.8/10.As i said earlier, the acting is really good on this one, the whole cast did a FANTASTIC JOB, but the LEAD COUPLE was really really well casted! a round of applause to them, i think they actually carried this drama, i hope they will win a lot of awards, they deserve it.
There were too many cliches, i hope this drama was more original, less predictable....
Some characters were unrealistic, like come on, in real life this would have never happened.
The villain could have been written better. I hope Park Sung Hoon will get the recognition he deserves and maybe play the good guy next time lol.
I actually recommend it, watch it and make your own opinion of it, don't be swayed by the bad reviews. It is not the perfect drama but it is enjoyable, and Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won are the lead! like come on, what else do you need to give it a try!?

Mediocre about marriage story, but the acting was fantastic, especially the main CP
Queen of Tears is a melodramatic K-drama about the love story of Baek Huyn Woo and his wife, Hong Hae In. A boy meets and falls in love with a girl from a well-to-do family, and the dysfunctional dynamic that their family embarks on ruins their relationship.My Reviews:
1. The main CP acted awesomely, especially the ML, Kim Soo Hyun.
2. The story is okay, nothing special. Typical Romantic Comedy with a melodramatic twist.
3. I didn't like many of the side characters in this drama, where I FF their scenes and only wanted to focus on the main CP.
4. The story started slow and draggy in the first 7-8 episodes. It gets more interesting when FL is diagnosed with a brain tumor; through the matter of life and death, she and her husband rediscover their love for each other.
5. It is a good drama, and the acting is exceptional, especially the main CP. I wish they had more screen time instead of too many supporting casts who steal their screen time.
I give it an 8.5 rating for exceptional acting from the cast.

Enjoyable Drama, Chemistry is peak, Acting is Baeksang, Story is average.
***IMPORTANT***: Watch this drama with reasonable expectations, if you have too high or unrealistic expectations, you will curse and hate the story/writing. I have experienced with this type of style of writing and story, so it doesn't bother me as much as the many other views expressed and thoroughly enjoyed it.The drama first set us up with a slow beginning about our leads and how they became the way they are. Throughout the episodes, it does pick up and pull you in pretty well with tear jerking performances and longing for the next episodes of our leads.
(+) Chemistry was phenomenal, the lead's eyes were just enough for you to know, "yeah, these mfs are in love, nothing can break their bonds"; as it is strong as a covalent/hydrogen bond.
(+) Cinematography was beautiful, camera shots, the visuals, the color gradients, the balance, etc. were all eye captivating that doesn't bore or hurt your eyes with excessive color contrast like most dramas. The leads acted VERY, VERY, well; I could see that they put their soul into this drama, when they cry, I CRY.
(- +) Now, the story/writing is nothing peak or new out of Kdramas, it is expected of a rom-com and is NOT thriller level competent. So do not expect logical or even thought-twisting writing. There is cliches thrown here and there, not a crazy amount but I'd say moderately cliche. One word I'd say about the writing and story is "Average", this doesn't mean it makes the whole drama dogshit and utterly garbage, it just means that it's there as a base to hold the lead's story or journey together afloat, nothing complex or gets you thinking in bed.
^^Overall, it is a nice watch, gets you in your emotions, heart, and rooting for the characters, and is also eye candy. Personally, was never too disappointed in any episodes. ^^

If you’ve been there
I think one thing a lot of reviews are missing is life experiences. Does this title contain tropes? Yes, but not as many as most. Do those tropes overpower the story? Not at all; in fact, they usually feel like an afterthought.Either way, as an older person who has experienced some of these things (directly or indirectly, I don’t find the writing to be all that lacking. But an entire 16-episode series with just the mains rebuilding a relationship is a hard task. Might work for a movie, but it would get old quick if it were that times sixteen!
Also, I appreciate the ending— as much as it made me cry— because that’s how life feels. Ten, twenty, fifty years go by in a flash. The entire premise of this series is to emphasize that memories make us who we are, even the smallest ones. It also reminds us to cherish it, because we don’t know what’s coming next. We learn forgiveness for others, and for ourselves, when someone feels wronged. And we learn that love looks different for everyone, and none are your average Hollywood ending

I REALLY ENJOY THIS SERIES! THE BEST KDRAMA OF 2024!
"Queen of Tears" is undoubtedly the best K-drama of 2024. The storyline is nothing short of amazing, weaving intricate plot twists and emotional depth that keep viewers on the edge of their seats. The casting is spot-on, with each actor delivering superb performances that bring their characters to life in a deeply moving way. Kim Ji-won particularly slays as the queen, not only through her compelling acting but also with her stunning outfit choices that set new fashion trends throughout the series. The chemistry among the cast members is palpable, enhancing the overall impact of the drama. From the heart-wrenching moments to the joyous scenes, "Queen of Tears" excels in every aspect, making it a must-watch for any K-drama enthusiast.Was this review helpful to you?
And the tears flowed.
Kim Soo Hyun, never disappoints me. He is an Adonis of K-Drama's. I think he is often underrated. Queen of Tears is IMO a mellow dramatic rom-com. It takes a dive into the rich and selfish world of the upper elite in marriage. The ML from an average rural family in the countryside is in a miserable marriage to a rich third-generation heiress. The FL rich and cold follows the footsteps of what is expected of the upper elite amidst some past trauma.The casting is done well with plenty of eye candy which I love. Kim Soo Hyun delivers a stellar performance. He was funny, adoring, sexy, and dramatic. Kim Ji Won, was a surprise for me in that she has really grown into a beautiful woman over the years. Her acting has improved. I could not get into her before "Arthdal Chronicles". Her part was captivating and believable. I liked this part for her. I felt there was chemistry but it was not developed as it should have been. Even though there were plenty of moments for the couple the director did not do enough with the romance, and it felt a little elementary at times. There should have been more adult romantic moments would have been better. There were plenty of side couples which did not hurt the film.
It is not a perfect film in that there are some filler scenes that only took up space and could have been edited better or deleted for more romance.
The acting overall was good. The soundtrack was good. The production was good with a great wardrobe.
If you like a good rom-com this is a good watch. Many parts will hold your interest.

los ultimos 2 capítulos hicieron que el drama cayera !!
la cinematografía, actuación y soundtrack 10/10.ni hablar que para tener episodios de hasta 1 hora y media me engancho desde el capítulo 1, pero recayó al rededor del capítulo 13 o 14 porque todo giraba demasiado en torno a el relleno que tenia el drama, si muy bien el final no se sintio forzado como tal siento que tenían más potencial que explotar en los últimos 2 capítulos y medio los desperdiciaron en seguirle dandole vueltas a las cosas innecesarias.
igual fue un drama memorable para mi porque se puede reir y llorar en un mismo capítulo de manera genuina, sin mencionar que fue super divertido los episodios de la familia hong en youngduri !! ajdkakf

Park Ji Eun does it again.
Queen of Tears strongest point are the performances, directing and cinematography, there's no doubt about this. Scriptwriter Park Ji Eun has a talent for teaming up with great talents, particular actors, and that's in my opinion the main reason why her drama are usually so successful. She manages to write really interesting and endearing characters, and put them in entertaining situations that grasp the attention of the viewer.The casting director did a particular excellent job on this one because every single character was cast to perfection, every actor and actress fitting into the role as if it was written for them.
I am fascinated by the way scriptwriter Park Ji Eun has managed to mix genres in one drama, because Queen of Tears is a dark comedy, makjang, comedy, romance and melodrama all in one. This screenwriter is not stranger to making a successful and entertaining kdrama, but if you are looking for something that will dwell into the deeper reasons as to why the leads' marriage crumble, logic and cohesive editing, this story might not be for you.
Queen of Tears strongest point is the way both families come together, learning to respect and love each other but apart from that the drama is developed at a surface level. The scripts lean hard on the other genres which is perfectly fine but there were times when I was frustrated at the desiciones being made, the complete waste of time when the families are running against the clock to save one of their own AND the family's business, etc. This is when I think Queen of Tears is a lot like other Park Si Eun's kdramas: they start strong but run out of material towards the second half of the episode, almost as if she introduce a bunch of plotlines with proper solutions to a few of them.
Overall, I found Queen of Tears to be a really entertaining watch to disconnect from reality.
