Tears of Heaven (2014)

I don't know why this drama hasn't received any attention from the subbers yet, I hope it does get subbed soon.
This drama is for melodrama lovers, it was a decent melodrama (though it doesn't say melo on the genre) but it's pretty melo makjang drama. I was looking for something similar to King Of Baking Kim Tak Goo with the same vibes and checked this drama's 1st ep then decided to watch even without subs and I'm glad I did (I'm surprised that it doesn't have any review even though there are people who completed this which is why I decided to do one).

Story: is pretty much familiar to all of you melo fans, family issues, abandoned, greed, selfishness, evil, ridiculous nerve racking plot but addictive one so basically all the elements a melo fan would look for in a drama. This is a Daughter on Mother story, I'm not sure if there are other dramas that presented such story before but for myself this is the 1st I've seen (daughter taking revenge on her mother). I loved the early stages of the story with the kids and to my surprise I liked the adults as well specially Cha Yeong.

If you came here for the romance then this drama is not for you, because even though it says romance, it's not the kind of romance that most may expect. This is mostly evil and revenge and wrong doings, the main character goes through so many things that she becomes only blinded by revenge. Romance plays very small part of the story (which is plus point to me) because it does not follow the typical plots and the story was presented without distraction.

Another note to those who hate annoying 2nd lead girl and can't handle that, I guess this drama is not for you because the 2nd lead here is pretty much as evil and pain as it gets but that's what makes melo a melo and keeps me entertained.

I loved the intensity of the story, I loved the intensity in the mother daughter relationship. I liked all the craziness and nerve racking situations in this drama and most of all I loved Hong Ah Reum performance.

Acting: For the rest of the cast it was decent, but for Hong Ah Reum and Yun Seo I think they were the drama's strongest point because they delivered all that intensity very well (I must say Yun Seo managed to make me hate her and Hong Ah Reum is meant for melo).

Music:
Decent.

Rewatch:
Maybe to some of you but not for me.

Overall:
Looking for good melodrama? Watch it. I can see that even if this drama gets subbed it probably be forgotten because of the unknown cast, I hope you don't judge the book by it's cover.
