The storytelling is disappointing. I was expecting more.

The first episode gathers the main cast that unfortunately couldn't be together due to conflicting schedules, and they answered questions like "What is your favourite epilogue?" "Which character would you have loved to play except from yours?". We saw glimpses of behind the scene, we saw bloopers and all of this was narrated by actress Kim Jungnan (playing Hong Beomja). The first episode is good, we got to know the actors' perspective and delved a bit deeper in their character.

The second episode is a big letdown. They showed the power of CGI, two seconds of Hyunwoo and Haein behind the scenes and the viewers' tearful reactions to the drama. However, literally 80% of the second episode was just a replay of the drama scenes, as if we weren't traumatized enough by them.

I'm a bit disappointed with the storytelling of these two special episodes. I would have loved to see more behind the scenes, more interesting questions being asked to the cast instead of making them read cheesy pickup-lines written by fans, maybe the screenwriter's thought process behind the writing of this traumatizingly good drama.

Are they trying to gatekeep the good content and will end up putting everything in the Blu-ray?

Overall, watching these two episodes won't change your life, you are better off watching another drama or sleeping.

The most touching one

I can say that Queen of tears is one of my favorite in this generation, it talksabout the real situation of married cuople. Since its one of my favorite I decided to watched this special episode for me to knw the making and why its loved by most viewers.
That's why it is loved because they put all effort to make it beautiful just to please us viewers. They used modern technology to make it more realistic. The effects are great that make you fall in love with its location. The casting is perfect they are all loved by the viewers and even the cameo actors are hand picked perfectly fit for their roles.
Even its a special episode I still cry because they bring back the most memorable scenes that makes me cry. They also surprise us with a special gift which are the kissing scenes of the Baekhong couple.
That's why its perfect because they make it the most extravagant one.
