A rollercoaster of emotions
I enjoyed this story so much even though it was one of the most heart-wrenching, draining, and emotional experiences I've had in a while. The amount of tissues I used while watching QOT is crazy. This drama had so many different hidden meanings. To me, it meant life, death, family and love.Ngl this drama had its ups and downs but to be honest I loved it and I am happy with how it ended.
The actors and actresses did an excellent job playing their characters. Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won have played their roles really well, and their chemistry is just perfect. I've watched Kim Soo Hyun since Dream High and he has never disappointed me. There's a reason why he is the most expensive actor in Korea. As for Kim Ji Won, she is such a good actress, she portrayed her role so well.
I do want to point out Park Sung Hoon’s acting. I hated his character so much which means he did an excellent job. (but please don’t hate the actor he’s just doing his job!).
Overall, the ending was good for me. The way they showed Hyun Woo as an elderly man, visiting Hae In’s grave. That broke me T^T I cried so hard. The pictures in the house, their daughter. They had their happy ending even in the afterlife.
"When only one of us is left, the other one can come and meet them. Then it won't be scary at all.” T^T❤️

From Queen of Tears to Viewer's Tears
April 28, 2024Queen of Tears is that Kdrama that I have been waiting for ever since it was announced. For me, I definitely had great expectations with this series and I think it did deliver that.
I do believe that the casts carried the majority of the little plot holes that kind of existed. Nevertheless, it was a great ride of show in terms of really feeling rom-com, angsty, dramatic, and mysterious vibes of it.
The chemistry is oozing, that was something that we all cheered and devoured. Like when are we going to find our own Hyun-woo? Our main leads put their best acting and solidified their A list Kdrama actors' status for sure. Before watching the finale, I have been seeing the reviews or the criticism of other viewers. And I must say, there is a point of overly hatred towards this drama. I definitely agree that certain plot tropes and progression could have been better in a sense. Like there are couple characters that were introduced but never really was served a sense of purpose in a way. But I do think that it is more on the minimal side, and it will only really really bother you if you pay attention like a detective.
For the first quarter of 2024 kdramas, I can definitely say that Queen of Tears deserve its popularity and support from both local and international audiences.
That 2 hour finale was amazing and I think that it something I would love to rewatch again as my comfort show.

Maybe it's the best I've ever seen
When I started watching this drama, I didn't expect to be so surprised. The plot is basic and I thought it wouldn't have much depth. I realized it would be the opposite when each episode was 1h30 (LOL). however, even with long episodes, the plot, development and characters manage to sustain themselves. Furthermore, the subplots developed are thought-provoking, and in many moments I found myself tearing up with secondary characters (something that was very well used in this drama). another factor is that I cried even more with the main couple. In addition to the two protagonists having undeniable chemistry, seeing them hurt each other (especially the male character) was something that affected me in undeniable ways. I was on the third episode and I thought DAMN, I'M OBSESSED. result? I marathoned in three days. I agree that some of the solutions at the end were hasty, but damn it I loved itWas this review helpful to you?
Started so well, but then the story got lost...
I loved it so much in the beginning, but then it became a makjang. There were too many cliches and unnecessary plot points that didn't help the story forward. We were promised a second chance romance, but the romance lacked depth when we could have had such an emotional journey by the two great actors playing the main couple.Also, as a doctor... the medical aspect of the story is ridiculous.
Still, I loved the characters and the transformation of the family. I cried and laughed a lot. This drama will stay dear to my heart, but that just infuriates me more because I feel ROBBED.

Love it
One of the kdramas that I actually enjoyed and finished watching. This one I enjoyed from 1st episode till the end. Love Kim Soo Hyun…best actor!! Enjoyable storyline, meaningful, funny and touching. Great job by the entire casts, lead actress, etc. Worth watching. Can’t wait for next project by Kim Soo Hyun. Will rewatch this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
failed to meet my expectations
dropped because there was ZERO substance and the female lead was just so unlikeable and unrelatable. so much potential that was unrealized in the premise of the show; to depict two people struggling with their marriage in a society that frowns upon divorce could've been incredibly powerful had it been executed properly. such a shame as i adore kim soo hyun, and have been meaning to enjoy a kim ji won drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Good solid comedy
Ever since Glory, I stopped watching K drama ... I feel it's getting too graphical and having needless violence, gearing towards abusive relationships. I saw Castaway Diva ... again it was more skewed towards abusive relationships, which took over the drama and made it unwatchable for me.So I am looking for comedy without the trendy abusive stories. This one seems to have the good acting, the story line, and all the funny jokes. I like it so far after 2 eps. The audience is being surprised with unexpected events. The jokes are not physical jokes so the writers are doing a terrific job here using irony to make me laugh.
Of course, the story is going to be predictable with happy ending because it's a comedy. But the writing makes it entertaining and not too stressful to watch.

Intense Drama with Sharp Insights
Queen of Tears was an emotional rollercoaster that thoroughly captivated me from start to finish. Kim Soo-hyun, starring as the male lead (ML), delivers yet another stellar performance, consistently proving why he's one of the top actors in the industry. His ability to convey deep emotions and bring his character to life is nothing short of remarkable, making every scene he's in a highlight.The drama itself keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with each episode, thanks to a series of unexpected plot twists that expertly showcase the disparities between different social classes. The attention to detail is impeccable, and the epilogues at the end of each episode add a satisfying depth to the overall storytelling. This drama excels in blending intense drama with critical social commentary, making it a must-watch for those who appreciate intricate narratives and powerful performances.

Queen of Tears fill the audience eyes with tears let it be sad ones or joyful ones
I don't usually write reviews for any drama or movies but this drama really pushed me to write one. I have no words to describe how beautiful this drama is, from the cast to the directors and the writer everyone of them did a fabulous job in doing their roles to make this drama a wonderful masterpiece. The writer once again showed us that she is the queen of writers because one of the main reason i started watching this drama was because of her. Ans the stellar performance by each and every cast member was just so realistic especially Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won portrayed their emotions very well and not to forget the villain Park Sung Hoon the audience really hated his character because of how well he acted to be do that role. The story was a rollercoaster of emotions for all the audience watching it and it is the drama to make everyone who watches it shed tears.Was this review helpful to you?

A tale of love and loss
Korean drama watchers love romance, love which burns as it builds. As the trailer dropped, the drama lovers knew what had been packed for them.Baek Hyun Woo meets Hong Hae In under complex surroundings. What follows is love, angst, and a profound misunderstanding that engulfs them both with time. The story revolves around the protagonists. Their love meets a rough patch as a tragedy strikes. Caught in a roller coaster of emotions, they find each other drifting away caught in a whirlwind of misunderstanding.
Kim Soo Hyun as Hyun Woo is beautiful. You will love his effervescent slipping into the skin of the sweet little husband. The man who is infamous for sticking with rich heiress has got a beautiful score this time. Ji Won as Hae In shines like a moon in the story. Her dialogue delivery, strides, and hair flipping reminds me of Rachel from The Heirs. The girl surely knows how to build the aura. The chemistry between leads is palpable and smooth. Mixing vulnerability and resilience in equal proportions elevates the whole story to a new level.
The story has been creating buzz for a while. This is because of the way they explore the intricacies of human emotions. Even in his venture, It's Okay to be Not Okay, Soo Hyun talked about depression and multiple perspectives. In this story, the director uses family and complexities to weave a web of emotions as the characters develop. This is life, right?
The cinematographer did a brilliant job... Capturing the poignant dichotomy existing between leads evades through the change of tone. Throughout the series, the ensemble cast gives a stellar performance. Each actor whispers life through the skin of the characters. Glorified sung Hoon is back being icy cold sociopath lover doing extremely good in his job. The arc of characters this man is playing is clearly creating a storm. Alas! He is still not getting the girl again.
With Har In and Hyun Woo palpitating and gallivanting in their gallon, it is difficult to assume how love is going to make it. But the poignant exploration characters are making is surely leaving a never-ending mark.
