Queen of Tears

It takes this show entirely too long to get good.

It takes this show entirely too long to become enjoyable. The beginning was so boring that I repeatedly fell asleep while watching this show to the point that I had to drop it. But...it's my uncle's favorite Kdrama so I had to give it another chance for his sake, he was really excited, okay?! Even though I didn't like the execution of this, from the start I thought the concept for this show was interesting.
It flips the cold rich CEO who falls for the cute poor girl trope on its head by making the rich ceo a woman and the cute pauper a man, and then it challenges the Cinderella's happily ever after by showing the miserable marriage these two have. Then you get a black widower set up and the show is on the go. Except the first 9 episodes were genuinely cheesy and intolerable. I suffered through though(for the sake of my uncle *sigh*) and eventually, things got good. Now, I still think the show was kind of lame. It's full of tropes, dumb plot twists and so predictable that I constantly could predict the next event before it happened. But it was enjoyable and you slowly get invested. I personally liked how no-nonsense the Female Lead is. She does not let miscommunications fester. She doesn't do the lame "lying to spare them" thing that Kdramas love to pull. She rejects coldheartedly and exposes the villains like it's her favorite pastime. And while I dislike the actor, the male lead's character is basically flawless. He really does everything competently and with a good heart. So you want to root for the characters. Especially when the stakes become higher.
The acting in this show was not particularly good. It's the time of exaggerated acting you expect to see in the romcom genre which I think this show falls into. It gets a bit cringe at time but it doesn't really matter.
I did not pay attention to the music and I find the production a bit too polished. It's like a candy cane world!
Overall, I would say this show was set to be hated by me but I ended up enjoying the second half of it (with a generous dose of scrolling through the Heated Rivalry tag on Tumblr whilst watching because I have my limits, okay?!) I don't think it was bad but it isn't as good as everyone made it sound but it's watchable and you won't be mad at your wasted time by the end. Probably. That said, I'm not interested in this types of shows anymore so it was a bit of a drag for me for the most part with moments where it got interesting.

-1000000/10 .......If i could give it

I am Already expecting Some OVERLY supportive people, sucking up for drama
and you all know i don't give a F about you, and this is my reviews so if you have opinion then write your own reviews then coming telling me your bullshit.....

https://www.koreaboo.com/stories/uncanny-similarities-queen-tears-bears-real-life-heiress-story/
article come after my review.

In 1999, she (Lee Bo Jin) married Im Woo-jae, known in the South Korean press as "Mr. Cinderella" because of his humble background, as an "employee of a security service affiliate of Samsung Group". They separated in 2012, and have one son together.

this drama look to much favoring Male lead
its like IM WOO JAE paid for this whole drama with all his received Alimony,
trying to make FL and ML victim while in real life
Im woo jae the real idiotic monster used to beat his pregnant wife
just after watching first episode this look like a PR Stunt of IM WOO JAE

Real IM woo Jae isn't handsome or smart but, UGLY AND FOOL
even in drama ML is called smart so many time but he act like fool every time,
he believe whatever unknow people tell him about his own wife, Stop calling your self smart

ML why don't you just die if your suffer after marrying most PRETTY and rich woman on Korean peninsula ?

Just DIE ML, for humanity sake jump in HAN River, and do not try to swim
why was he acting like a cry baby give us a reason that can justify him

Second ep and Low life ML is feeling happy about his wife's upcoming death, now he put down his victim mask and his evil ugly truth is showing
i was thinking of watching this but after seeing that Monster smile, yes that is what EVIL IM WOO JAE was in real life
all he care about was getting some money from his wife's corpse. Great work ml, should have Casted an ugly man
what kind of inhuman man is ML, someone he claim to love just 3 year ago, is about to die and selfish low life think he is going to be free, then he should be one die,
WE NEED RAMSAY BOLTEN here to flay this man Alive
there is no redemption arc for this if they make them end up together after he celebrated her death that's just worst
ML if your not materialistic then what you think your are Parasite ?
Rename this drama to Parasite 2.O
there love was years ago for ML, just 3 years, in those 3 year his daddy changed 10 of his mothers
THIS ML is SO called Smart even illiterate people are far more smart then this Parasite idiot.
SNU should talk action against this people for mention that a Idiot like ML studied at that university.
hearing that Idiots like him are Alumni of SNU, seriously degreed and defame SNU
it like saying all Idiots in Korea come from SNU, Seoul Nation University

SNU SNU" is a fictional term used in the show to refer to a form of sexual intercourse. " Death by SNU SNU" humorously implies that the act of having sex with the Amazonian women is so intense and physically demanding that it could potentially result in the death of the male,
how ML can live with himself, he and his ugly family is full of parasites, ungrateful
Dropping after second episode which made ML irredeemable for me, he can not be redeem even

First Impressions

Beautiful wedding scene in the 1st episode? I couldn’t be happier!

As a romcom to look forward to this year, QoT offers a fresh perspective on KDrama's typical happy endings and gender roles.

Starring Kim Soo Hyun (It’s Okay to Not be Okay) as a lawyer from an ordinary family, he falls for a troublemaker intern played by Kim Ji Won (My Liberation Notes), who turns out to be an heiress at their workplace: Queens Department Store.

Their marriage, despite its promising start, quickly becomes complicated after three years. He struggles with her wealthy family and can’t stand his wife anymore, while she unexpectedly deals with a terminal illness, adding a melodrama twist to the husband who is seeking a divorce. Will we have a happy ending here?

I appreciate the realistic portrayal of after-married life in this drama. It challenges the idea of a fairy tale ending! I also love the engaging storytelling perspective; it prevents us from taking sides because both characters play a role in this marriage that has lost its sparks.

Excited to see more stories from the second lead couple played by Kwak Dong Yeon and Lee Joo Bin, as well as the hidden intentions of the second male lead, portrayed by Park Sung Hoon.

With a talented writer behind hits like Crash Landing on You and My Love from the Star, this series perfectly blends romance and humor, featuring lot of stellar casts, making it a must-watch for KDrama enthusiasts like you and me~

Rewatch Value: on loop

Let me start by saying that the main leads are the life of this drama. Solid performance and well acted characters.
How do you surpass the success of a recent Kim Soo Hyun drama? Easy. Make and even more successful one!
No kidding Soo Hyun, always delivers + the remarkable Kim Ji won = Perfect chemistry!
Chemistry is chemistry-ing that we are all anticipating them to be the next real life couple.

This drama also leaves very great lesson about the complex of marriage life. That love isn't always present and perfect. There would be always be hardship but communication is the key to a better relationship.

Side note: The plot could have been better if the storyline was as original as they want it to be but let's be real here. We've all seen this. Surely, this isn't the first time we see a character suffering from illness. Chaebol family who gets dragged out of their company and wealth and a mother-son tandem which is doing all this revenge. God knows for who? BUT the main characters is the one hard-carrying the whole drama to be very honest. Also, it's just me being to salty because why they tagged this drama rom-com when all we doo all week is cry? I mean all of the QOT nations we share the same tears. Lol

Anyways, aside from that I enjoy watching this so much that I will be rewatching until I get sick of it. Lol
