Unnecessary screen time for the villain
Unnecessary screen time for the villain at the end. There is no need for him to run over ML with his car, there is no need for him to kidnapped the FL and there is absolutely no need for him to shoot anyone.Instead of having those scene, they should have resolve these storyline/plot:
1. How did main lead become so cold to each other? Their baby? How?
2. ML and FL found out that ML save FL when they were kids
3. Queen Family found out that villain killed FL brother -> FL didn't caused her brother's death
4. Why the villain's mother hate Queen family?
As much as the villain actor portrait his character very well. It is a drama that better without a very strong present villain.
The main lead is the reason why I'm still watching this. KJW and KSH have great visual and acting. They also look great together. I am sad that we don't get more FL and ML moments in the final because I definitely wanted to see more.

AM I THE QUEEN OF TEARS???
To say I had been waiting on pins and needles for this to air would be an understatement. I mean our favourite resident alien was starring; the man has an entire portfolio of dramas he SERVEDDDD!!!!Kim Jiwon was another plus, I've loved all her works. She manages to deliver and then some...
The drama starts off amazing, the story is captivating; the story is new and intriguing. I especially loved that the girl was the chaebol in this instance. Their love was gratifying to witness. Then came the angst...their marriage isn't working...Why? Who tf knows? Misunderstandings, miscommunication and a bunch of awful inlaws...except you Beomja...I freaking love the woman.
I've shed quite a few tears because what do you mean they go through all that and there's still more to come?
Then the beau who wasn't really a beau, from the past who won't take no for answer. The amount of anger this man roused in me! I swear I didn't even hate him this much in The Glory. I know that means he delivered his role perfectly but still...talk about obsessed and sinister.
That being said ....
WHAT I LOVED.
Hong Hae-in
Her outfits...I haven't been fed this well since Seo Yeji's last drama.
Her aura, she was perfect for the role, or the role was perfect for her. You'd see her and know she was in charge.
Her character in general. I don't exactly know how to describe it. Not once did I find her annoying, and that's saying something.
Baek Hyun-Woo
His face.
His character, perfect mix of cute and hot. The tiny smirks when his wife did something bratty or did something that made him happy.
His bros. Having people who'd have your back through everything is common in dramas, but having characters who deserve that unwavering loyalty, pretty rare.
His family, they were close to perfect, not once did I feel like such a family wouldn't be possible in the real world. Opportunists but loyally fierce. Stern but kind, I mean what's not to love.
Character developments.
Hae-in's mom...though I feel like she should have suffered Hae-in's indifference for a little while cause the woman was just plain mean.
In this case, her younger brother, Soo Cheol, the man got a chance to spread his wings and it was beautiful to witness.
Dahye...she was loved so good she changed...a miracle right there.
Grace ...i didn't trust her till the end but she managed to surprise her.
It hurts to admit this but Eun Seong...this man has united drama fans worldwide in the hate. Second leads often manage to garner some wayward fans, and get a few thirsty edits and fan-made spin-offs, but this man...this man got none. That is how much the hate was. He bodied the character so well, I wouldn't trust him if I met him in real life. Though I feel like he deserved far worse than what he got.
The OSTs.
Whoever chose the team to do this, may you have a place in heaven cause this album ate, to put it plainly. The songs brought out all the emotions in given situations perfectly. I'm writing this while the album is on a loop btw. Falling and Love with All My Heart are my absolute favourites, a close second is Kim Soohyun's own OST.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE...AT ALL.
Hong Hae-In's fam...esp the grandpa...like how did you get so rich being so stupid. The dad only thought to take the reins in the family when everything went to shit.
How they treat their in-laws...I know it was supposed to show how female counterparts suffer in real life but theirs was on another level.
Them treating Baek Hyun Woo like he shit only to turn around and look for him to save them...pathetic.
How the writing went to the sewers in the last episodes. Why did the man have to spawn everywhere...he's the villain...we get it but come on!!!!!!!!!!!
The hospital staff, I know it's supposed to go with the story but how did they turn their backs on Hae In's situation just like that? They knew the man who was with her before, they communicated with him multiple times. He was the one who reached out to them even but when a new one appears, conveniently when the poor girl has no memories no one bats an eye just cause he threw a few bucks around...
The ending. Not the dying part, but the fact that we only got snippets of their supposed happy life after witnessing their suffering.
Where did all that cash go though?????
ALL IN ALL, THIS WAS A GOOD WATCH. THE CAST DID MOST OF THE WORK BUT THE STORY WAS AMAZING TOO...if you ignore the last chapters.
In conclusion, we the watchers, were the real queen of tears.

wondering why i cried, saw the name ....fair enough
A bittersweet feeling I get with every episode. This isn't devoid of flaws. It is dramatic, over-the-top, has too many characters, predictable, little funny, little melo. Sometimes I get butterflies, sometimes I tear up. Acting is subtle. Only thing I hate is dragging the misunderstandings.Queen of tears, indeed.

Refreshing and Riveting: A K-Drama That Defies Tropes and Delivers a Perfect Mix
I enjoy the series for its engaging plot, thrilling action scenes, and heartfelt emotional moments. What sets it apart is its refreshing storyline, which avoids the typical tropes seen in many other K-dramas focused solely on reincarnations. Instead, it offers a more realistic narrative by exploring the characters' childhoods and how they initially met. This aspect resonates with real-life experiences of reconnecting with people from our past. Additionally, it doesn't fall into the trap of the "poor girl marries CEO" or "annoying, clueless female lead" stereotypes. It strikes a perfect balance with comedy, action, thriller, and romance, creating a mix that's absolutely captivating. So, rather than complaining, I'd encourage everyone to give it a watch and see for themselves. Queen of tears, deserves all the hearts it’s won.❤️🥹Was this review helpful to you?
Ridiculously dramatic
Why I dropped this series:1 Too dramatic to the point of ridiculous. Yes you can have some drama but when you go overboard you miss the mark completely. I had high hopes for this one since it seemed interesting. Unfortunately I found it unbearable after a while. Maybe it's my fault and should have lowered my expectations but it is what it is.

i had this drama on hold for a really long time and was planning to get back to it at some point but will now be dropping it as i refuse to support the main male lead in any of his works.
learning about the type of person he was behind cameras was extremely upsetting and disappointing and the least i can do is show support and solidarity with the victims by not consuming media he benefits from.

Kdramas are disappointing me…
Maybe I’m getting older, but for me, kdramas are slowly getting more and more unwatchable. As someone who was once an avid of korean dramas, I wanted to prove myself wrong— I wanted to watch a kdrama that was fresh and was different from kdramas that I have been watching recently and maybe I’m expecting too much from this series but it definitely disappointed me.The premise might have been somewhat new and relatively unique compared to recent kdramas, but they taint it with overused, unnecessary, and annoying cliches. The others were bearable but a love triangle? The only thing that this love triangle doing is cheapening the rekindling of the two main characters’ romance — I don’t see it as him realizing he loves her, but rather him just being possessive (which does not equate to love).
Everything is also all over the place. As much as the actors are trying to sell it, I just don’t understand why they loved and married each other in the first place, maybe we’ll see more of their relationship as we go, but so far, I also want them to just divorce.
anyways I really don’t want to dwell on this since I have only watched the first 2 eps, maybe it’ll get better later on who knows?

So far so good
First time watching these two actor/actress(Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won) in the drama series together and they never disappoint me in portraying their roles. The way they convey their emotion through acting is so believable and convincing, I feel like I am watching a real couple who are not in good terms, cold/indifferent towards each other and struggling to make their married life work. I like the plot, story and setting. It's like a rollercoaster ride; it has suspense, comedy, tear jerking and heart fluttering scenes; it characterize a story of a married couple who fell out of love due to unforeseen circumstances and trying to give their marriage a second chance.Was this review helpful to you?
absolutely terrible
this is one of those genuinely unenjoyable dramas that make me baffled to find out that people actually enjoy this steaming hot pile of garbage????? maybe my personal bias against both rich people and marriage as an institution is affecting my objectiveness but i hated every second of this extremely unrelatably written plot and i hated jiwon's character immensely. dongyeon's role, soohyun crying were the only highlights imo it's boththe main leads WORST work that appeals to uncritical straightsWas this review helpful to you?
I loved! But the question is: Queen of tears overwall crashing landing on you?
Absolutamente tudo nesse dorama foi perfeito, nao foi uma história massante nem triste. O título condiz com todo o drama porque é lágrima do início ao fim, esse final me quebrou muito mostrar até 2074 nao aguentei, fiquei muito triste. Contudo eu amei demais, foi uma lição de vida, sobre amor, amadurecer, reconhecer, lealdade. É o tipo de drama que fica um vazio quando acaba e um gostinho de quero mais. Esses atores deram o nome, foram perfeitos e o roteiro foi incrível. Eu quero mais,que droga terem mostrado (não vou dar spoiler) aquele final dele na Alemanha, meu coraçãoWas this review helpful to you?
So now everyone's a critic...
I never knew DRAMAS were supposed to be exactly like real life... a lot of people who think of themselves as critics, I suppose, are rating 4 and 6 for their biased view of reality.This is a show, that yes, it uses real life experiences and topics but this is meant for entertainment.
The drama was BEAUTIFUL, I got angry, I cried, I laughed, I melted... I fell in love with the lead couple, I empathized with the life circumstances of the other characters. The casting was perfect, the story was touching, cute, fun and heartbreaking too. All I can say is that I enjoyed it so much as it is: a drama. I've watched it twice and I loved it even more than the first time.
