It's been awhile...

Just like my headline suggests, it really has been awhile since we had such a solid kdrama in years!! I don't even remember the last time I felt so emotionally INVESTED and obsessed with a Kdrama. Sis checks twitter religiously every single day and hour for more updates lmao. I can't wait for it to end so I can finally concentrate at work HAHAHA TT but at the same time I aM super sad that its ending because when will we ever see ksh on screen again? in 3 YEARS? dude serves us a 3 course meal and then disappear like its nothing making us survive on crumbs after.

wow.. where do I start, this drama is like a breath of fresh air, it has everything! The plot itself is intriguing, literally had the whole world coming up with theories, we had doctors, lawyers, accountants all coming together to discuss the plot HAH. I am RUNNING AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO CAME UP with the theory that hyunwoo dies at the end of this show. LIKE HELLO? nO. GET AWAY from Me.

anywho, I love how this drama brought all of us together!! This ride has been nothing but an EXPLOSIVE TREAT. The cast had already warned us during the interview that this show will have plot twist over twist over twist + case on case on case. They weren't lying when they said ep 5 was only the beginning because everything that came after that was just HELL. Had us ugly crying every ep frs. I was shocked to find out that each ep is about 1.5h long cause it doesn't even feel that long!!! also bc every ep is alluring.

The storyline to some may be mediocre, but its the storytelling that is enticing. The plot shines the harsh truth of how life after marriage would be, and in this case it may not always be a happily ever after. Miscommunications, assumptions, built up frustrations and unresolved hurts will always affect the relationship, afterall it takes two hands to clap in a rs/marriage. I like how they show the state of the contrast difference between the Hong and Baek family and how its in Baek's family that hae in feels comfortable about letting her guard down and learning to receive love. And I really love how clear baekhong's love is shown in this drama - to be loved is to be understood and known.

The ways the actors go above and beyond to make their characters come to life. Ksh and Kjw served INSANE chemistry both on screen and off screen, even I can't help but to ship them irl TT. (secretly wishing for them to pull a BinJin) The acting, the adlibs, the constant strive to do better in delivering lines and expressing emotions shows dedication to their craft. Man literally proved us once again why he is the king of ratings and one of the highest paying actor in sk! Both kjw and ksh delivered such a stellar performance, and ofc with the other casts as well, special mention to park sung hoon as eun seong cause man acted so well it made me wna PUNCH him every single time he comes on. He needs Jeon Jae Joon to teach him a lesson HAH.

As a fan of both of the main leads, I have been truly blessed by this series. And sending my heartfelt congratulations for everyone that made QOT come alive, yall truly deserved the recognition for all that hard work!! It really is a bittersweet feeling knowing that we're heading towards the finale of this drama, part of me is sad because this is the end of an amazing story, but also so happy for all the recognition and support they are all getting. I already felt the post drama syndrome kicking in at ep 14... ahha, this feeling is smth i've never felt for in such a long time. Thank you QOT, for once again reigniting my love for dramas. It really has been a traumatic ride HAHAH kdrama? no.. ktrauma.

Lovin' It !!

Being a Big fan of Kim Soo Hyun, I’m thrilled to witness his return to the screen after a three-year hiatus. His performance up to Episode 2 has been nothing short of spectacular, capturing the essence of his character with finesse. Kim Ji Won, though not someone I follow closely, has also delivered a commendable performance. Her roles in ‘Crash Landing on You’ and ‘Descendants of the Sun’ were my only encounters with her work, but in this drama, she’s truly doing a good job.

The narrative has been engaging thus far, and I’m optimistic that it will maintain its momentum without resorting to unnecessary fillers. I’m eagerly anticipating how the plot will unfold and have high hopes for the drama’s continued success. It’s a story that has captured my heart, and I can’t wait to see where it takes us.

Okay but felt like work to watch eventually

I went into this drama with no expectations, knowing nothing about the show or the cast - and i began watching it a little after it finished airing. I actually quite liked the plot, contrary to what quite a few of these reviews are saying, I felt (generally speaking) it was a fresh and interesting plot with themes largely unexplored in the K-Dramas I have watched so far. Although the tradgedy set up is typically for a K-drama, the plot they went with here was quite unexpected - taking a pre-established romance, with all their initial butterflies already gone, and placing us in the middle of a marriage that is falling apart. I felt like themes around family, divorce, money and love in a long term 'adult' relationship were really unique to this drama, even if they were left a touch underdeveloped, i still felt like this drama gave something new and fresh for me as a viewer to enjoy, even if it was riddled with many k-drama cliches throughout. AT THE START.

Cause omg after the first 5 episodes or so i found this drama to be highkey so annoying and unwatchable and could not finish it. I am the biggest hater in the world of love triangles, but since they appear in literally every k-drama ever i have had to try and get over it but this was probably one of the most frustrating love triangles i've ever seen fr. The second male lead was giving no reason at all for any single person in the drama to like him (except for the mum ig cause after reading other peoples reviews turns out hes her son or smth??) yet every single person was acting like he was such a baddie and he fit so perfect into their family? It also made actually 0 sense for the female lead to like him at all even if they had a past and i found every scene with hi so frustrating and unwatchable. I understand he's meant to be the villain but a good piece of media makes the villain intruiging and at very least cool.

This was around the point where the cliches that were settled throughout began to really annoy me, it felt really messy and because it was all something i'd seen before, as the unique main plotlines began to fade away, i felt like i was almost forcing myself to watch a show that i didn't want to watch anymore. The final straw for me was that when i was at my most frustrated with the show, the allegations about Kim Soo Hyun came out and i rlly hate him now, aside from all the things he did, he also showed a very pathetic side of himself whilst trying to make himself look better - so i found his character (who i already didnt really like) unwatchable and easily turned off the drama for good.

I did really enjoy Kim Jiwon's performance though, i felt like her acting was the saviour of the show and added lots of nuance and intriugue to a character who I otherwise likely would've found highly unlikable.

I can definitely see why people would like this drama and if you are someone who likes typical K-Drama cliches i think this will be solid watch for you, it just wasn't for me!

Maravilhoso

Esse drama foi emocionante e com uma reflexão profunda sobre os altos e baixos num relacionamento humano, seja ele familiar ou romântico.
A falta de diálogo era a maior causa de tudo. No casamento deles mesmo foi o que fez ruir.

A roteirista soube aproveitar bem esse elenco, entregou personagens que sim tinham defeitos mas que a gente foi capaz de entender e amar.
O irmão da protagonista mesmo, foi um personagem que teve uma evolução tão boa, vimos ali uma bela de um transformação.

Nos entregaram também vilões, que foram ruins até o fim, umas verdadeiras cobrinhas.
Todos os atores ali entregaram com maestria o que lhes foram propostos.

Que episódio final foi aquele??? Chorei muito, foi um misto de emoções, sinceramente não consigo superar e nem escrever um post a altura do que senti vendo 'Queen of tears'.

Foi um drama incrível que me arrancou lágrimas, sorrisos e um pouco de ódio também kkk.

É um Dorama de ensinamentos de vida se você olhar bem

Que demora meus amigos, que dorama!

Eu geralmente não costumo dar nota 10 a um Dorama se eu realmente não tiver gostado dele e esse aqui... Se superou! Quando eu pensei que estava bom um certo final que eu imaginava, eles entregaram melhor do que eu pensei, tudo terminou explicado e bem amarradinho nas ideias. Realmente um show pra te render lágrimas, mas não só isso... Uma obra que eu pude ver muitos ensinamentos, na questão de relacionamento entre cônjuges e entre amigos e familiares e como tratar pessoas. Foi muito bom ver o crescimento dos personagens, ver eles caindo em si no que eles erraram para poder melhorar, bom, nem todos se desenvolveram né, mas vimos também com o exemplo deles que se não melhorarmos ou morreremos ou cairemos em desgraça, porque quem não sabe se relacionar fica só. Não sou de rever uma obra, mas quando eu tiver com mais tempo um dia, eu com certeza assistirei novamente para fazer uma análise de cada ponto que gostaria de destacar. Assistam vocês e tirem suas próprias conclusões, é muito bom!

Lindo!

Um melodrama lindo de se assistir. Assistindo ele você vai conseguir encontrar romance, conflitos, ação e muito mais.
Eu estava um pouco receosa se assistiria esse drama agora, pois já estamos no final de 2024 e realmente não me arrependi.

Pela fama que o dorama teve, eu acabo sempre por dar um passo para trás quando começo um drama MUITO famoso, com medo de não superar minhas expectativas, mas esse aqui, superou!

Ambientação, atuação, cinematografia, música (ost), história... Tudo no ponto certo!
Em alguns momentos eu ficava ''nossa mais é bem lento isso e aquilo'', mas no final foi necessário para termos essa finalização maravilhosa no drama.

Eu só fico um pouco com raiva em como parece que o final desse drama foi apressado, tudo e mais um pouco aconteceu no episódio 16, na minha opinião esse drama deveria ter o famoso 18 episódios, assim sendo possível trabalhar os detalhes que são muitos.

Enfim, um dorama bom que tem uma história intrigante de amor, melodrama e ação.
Além de que, todos os casais desse drama tem química. Como pode? Resultando de um casting perfeito.

Por fim, finalizei. Irei assistir novamente no futuro com certeza.
Brazil, Rio - 25 Dec, 2024.
