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.

A flawed gem that everyone hates but I LOVE
Actually, I finished watching this a while ago aka following when it was aired, but I only just got the chance to leave a review. Acting and cast? 100% perfect, no debate. OST? Absolutely the best in my list this year, especially since they collaborated with my favorite music director. Cinematography? Not the best, there are some flaws, but overall I love the design. Story? There are some parts where the logic doesn’t quite fit, especially after episode 14, which was a bit of a downhill turn. However, this doesn’t diminish my love for the drama, so I’m giving it a 10/10 overall score because I’m being biased 😹Was this review helpful to you?
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?
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.

AMAZING, EMOTIONAL
This was an absolute delight to watch. Congratulations to the writer, what a great storyline. As expected, Kim Soo Hyun was phenomenal in his performance. I now have become a fan of Kim Ji Won, she was outstanding in her role. I was really happy to see Kwak Dong Yeon in this drama. He is a great actor and very handsome. The drama was funny, emotional, and brought tears to my eyes. I could feel the emotions of the drama thru the exceptional performance of the actors. Thank you, Kim Soo Hyun and all of the other actors for the hard work put into this work. The real fans are very appreciative. This is definitely a drama that will be watched & rewatched for years to come.Was this review helpful to you?

Great watch for first time, not much rewatch value solely because of the last 2 episodes
It's an amazing drama honestly in every sense!I won't say the plot is the best, but the acting and execution are beyond perfect. Also, I liked how the story focused on the relationship between characters. Sadly they kinda ruined things by the end (episode 14's ending upto the very last episode) by rushing things and adding unnecessary plot twists for clout.
However, as a whole it's a fun and beautiful melodrama to watch honestly

Epilogue
The most heartwarming part of this drama is the epilogues❤️🩹. I may forget the story details one day but I'll never get over from the epilogues and the osts💖. After watching the last episodes this is my version of Epilogue-"There is nothing called as happy ending, we can be happy rn and be sad the next moment,life is unpredictable so if u have good memories to cherish you’ve already got your happy ending, good times will slip away and we can not stop them, but we can cherish them, which will be our strength in bad times"
Somehow this drama made me remember all the happy memories of my life which pulled my heartstrings a bit, also made me appreciate my happy moments in life!
