you will cry a lot but you will love it even crying
This drama was so good. The story was a reverse cliche. This time our female lead is the rich one not the boy. So it makes the difference. We see a beautiful love story which has faded by time and watched it bloom again. I really cried a lot but enjoyed it and can't wait for next episode every each time. Kim so hyun acting was the best I mean how can a man cry this beautiful.I only have one thing can't stand. I think the writer really messed up in that.
Spoiler:
Our male lead Baek hyun woo who started to hate his wife (yes he had good reasons for that I know) and was planning to divorce. He became happy after learning his wife is going to die . This is not acceptable. There is no human being that can't be sorry after learning someone is going to die and especially that male lead character was portrayed emotional, helpful to others even to strangers. and emphatic . So how a this beautiful human being , can be that bad!! . Sorry but I really ignored that part in my brain (because doesn't suit to baek hyun woo's general character.) And I will remember that he felt sorry for his wife and decided to wait till she dead and not divorce.
Except this everything and also co players stories were so cute
and even that I hated our bad guy I really love the actor. Good job Park sung hoon

Best Drama of 2024
Life will end one day. But the memories spent together are the real life. To grow old with loved ones is the real achievement. A better ending then this could not have been possible. This drama taught a lot. Small things become big and poison the relationship. Work is not everything in life. Giving time to the relationship and being together can make the bad times into the best times of life. Those who haven't seen it yet must see it. Most recommended drama in my opinion.Was this review helpful to you?
Will literally shed your tears but will also make you smile and laugh as hard
This was one of those unexpected series I've watched because I've seen too many clips that it made me REALLY interested. (I usually don't watch ongoing series because I don't like the waiting time in between episodes. I jumped the bandwagon more than halfway through the series and I could say that the torture of 3-4 weeks is totally worth it).I never thought that I needed SooHyun and JiWon on the same screen but they totally delivered and I can't get enough. I love the simplicity of the storyline -- where it's both predictable and unpredictable. I thought it was just another romcom but I found myself crying as much as I laughed. The chemistry between the Queen's family and HyunWoo's family (including the whole village people) is too cute and heartwarming. They're not perfect but somehow they made it work better than perfection can.
The HyunWoo and HaeIn couple is the type of relationship that I really root for. I didn't experience what they went through but somehow I felt all the pain and all the happiness they have. If they're real people out there, I really wish them happiness until they're old. The challenges they went through only made them stronger.
The OSTs are also gem. Even without watching, if I hear the OST somewhere, I definitely feel warm and fuzzy -- sometimes a bit teary eyed, too. I can never recommend this enough, I really love Queen of Tears. ❤️

Potencial desperdiçado.
Essa série tinha o potencial para ser a melhor de 2024, mas eles quiseram deixar a série tão angustiante que a partir do episódio 14 já ficou irritante de assistir, antes eu chorava o tempo todo, mas amava a série, nos episódios 14 e 15 eu só senti raiva da história, dos escritores e do vilão, amgustiada por ter me apegado no começo e agora querer terminar a série, mas se dependesse apenas do final eu teria desistido de assistir, espero que o 16 me faça voltar a amar a série, mas por enquanto vejo como um desperdício de potencial.Was this review helpful to you?

A Tearful Rollercoaster of Love and Family Drama
Queen of Tears lives up to its name—it's an emotional whirlwind that had me reaching for tissues from episode one. What starts as a chaebol romance quickly dives into raw, messy human emotions, blending heartbreak, humor, and hope in a way that's utterly addictive.For me, it was a tearful journey that left me wondering: can somebody love someone this much? Hyun-woo and Hae-in's story is the heart of it all—their misunderstandings turning them into strangers, even when everyone around them could see the obvious love staring them in the face. Watching from a third-person perspective was frustratingly real; it's like peering into relationships we all know, where pride and pain blind us to what's right there. That slow-burn reconciliation. Pure magic.
The family dynamics stole the show, though. Oh, how I hated everyone in Hae-in's family—they're not likable at all, from the scheming relatives to the toxic vibes. I suspect it was the director's deliberate move, though, to make their reunion feel earned only when crisis hits and money's stripped away. Sure enough, as soon as the cash flow dried up, the family morphed into something healthy and supportive. It's a sharp commentary on how wealth warps bonds, and it lands perfectly.
One lingering question mark: the chairman's mistress and her obsession with ruining the family. She had it all—money, status, luxury—yet she was so fixated she even abandoned her only son. Why? I wish the writers had fleshed this out more; it felt like a missed chance for deeper villainy.

GOT RID OF MY KDRAMA SLUMP AND AT THE SAME TIME CAUSED IT
thank you for getting rid of my kdrama slump but also causing it now LOLanyway, long story short i love it since every ep was like a book you can't put down however i feel like i need more baekhong happy moments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoever decided on the cast deserves a bigger salary! thank you casting ksh & kjw, their chemistry is on the roof like WHAT THE HECK just by standing next to each other I WAS DYIIIIING
the acting skills of all the actors was SO GOOD! you can really feel their hardwork and effort to bring the characters into life.
i was actually so annoyed with all the sub plots (!!!!!!!!!!!) and how the villains kept on winning in every episode since the more they win, the more screentime and i just NEED my fluffy happy funny baekhong moments!
i'll definitely miss anticipating every episode and seeing ksh & kjw together! :((((

An amazing drama despite of
My first watch impression of the ending: I am not sure why I felt disappointed, I can pin down why I felt underwhelmed. Maybe because we didn’t get a dramatic kissing scene between leads or the climax and anticipation was awesome leading up to the last episode and it felt like an average happy ending to me.Despite my first take on the ending I will still rate this drama a 10/10. It was an awesome watch each week, even though the plot has all the normal Kdrama tropes, I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. All the actors were amazing, I felt moved to anger, tears, sadness, silliness, & happiness in each of their scenes. I was part of their journey, and didn’t want to miss a thing. Now I am will solely focus on the Lovely Runner. My eyes will take a break from crying each weekend. Great job to the cast and crew!

bye haein and hyunwoo
After analyzing my existence, I am aware of the inconsistencies that there were within the drama but in retrospect it really didn’t take that much importance when giving this final review bc I genuinely enjoyed watching it and I will really miss it😞Really, the heart of the drama lies with haein and hyunwoo🥺
Seeing how they grow as people, noticing their mistakes and wanting to change so they don't make it again, is simply beautiful. I lived every moment of their story as if they were people from my social circle jajaja😞🫵, I guess that is the acting power of soohyun and jiwon who transmitted to us every emotion and feeling of the characters😙✨
(on the other hand, applause for sunghoon👏👏who made me hate him every saturdays and sundays haha)
I thank all the people who were behind the creation of this dram, they made me very happy (i will rewatching it when I need that comfort that Haerin and Hyunwoo can only give me)💧👑😞✨
Take care of yourselves Haein and Hyunwoo 😭😭😭
I love you so much and enjoy your time with Soobin (although I feel like I shouldn't say that because it's obvious that you will be happy)🥺🪻☘️👋😭

Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won -the King and Queen of bringing me to tears
It’s not the story alone but the actors themselves who make way for this drama to be notable and successful. No matter how good or bad a storyline is, the actors can reverse the situation depending on their talent in acting alone. As always, Kim Soo Hyun never disappoints, and he gives everything in his power to deliver us the Baek Hyun Woo that we all love right now. Unquestionably, he is the highest-earning Korean actor in the industry because the man is always here to slay his designated character. The show became even more powerful with Kim Ji Won joining his side to carry out a tear-jerker romance with undying chemistry from start to finish. As an avid K-drama fan, it’s always been my pleasure to be their supporter.I got this love-and-hate feeling during the first half of the drama. Aside from the main characters, the rest of the cast is annoying without a decent share of the story. The Chaebol family was outsmarted by a small group of villains who share the same brain cell with them -stupid and fool. I am unconvinced how these antagonists managed to take everything from them with the usual plot. The family members of Hyun Woo except for his mother were also a pain in the eyes during the early set of episodes. Everything became more enjoyable after the two families lived under one roof and fixed everything gradually.
The epilogues for every episode were always their best part. It never failed to make me cry and be in awe of the love and care that Hyun Woo and Hae In have for each other. Until the end, tears just keep flowing during the epilogue scenes. The set of OSTs also contributes a lot to the overall impact that the show has. Queen of Tears breaks TV records and has excellent ratings. Yet, I will not give them a perfect score since obviously they have flaws but still managed to make it to the top. In Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won, I put my trust in always bringing the best from every project they had.

PERFECTLY A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN INDEED
THIS WAS THE BEST ROMCOM/ MELODRAMA in these recent months or I'd say years..people are always complaining about the writing bro if you watched this show all together everything would've fitted perfectly... instead of finding THE LOGICS sit down and just watch and enjoy... to me all my questions were answered. it was the perfect ending. YOU'RE USED TO NORMAL HAPPY ENDINGS BUT THIS IS THE REAL ENDING EVERY PERSON WHO IS IN LOVE WANTS because this basically showed that THEY GREW OLD TOGETHER instead of claiming to grow old..the whole point of this show was how can a married couple who claimed to be with each but fell apart and how they realised that need each other to grow old and they did..I Loved all the characters and probably gonna miss it for some time but yeah the acting was phenomenol...the chemistry was top-notch, the cinematography was purely beautiful..the emotions was raw....I LOVED EVERYTHING >>>Was this review helpful to you?
