Someone posited on tumblr that Gwi Joo actually only been able to go back to moments Da Hae was in this whole…
I have begun my re-watch w/notebook in hand but "little girl with the dog'"? I don't recall that scene. Please remind me, s'il vous plait.
Writers need to solve this conundrum.
ML believes (his family believes) that he was PREVIOUSLY able to return in time to happy moments simply because he closed his eyes and recalled the event. Are we to believe that that this did not manifest until his happiest moment (birth of I-na) ?? Never prior to that moment? Hmmm. . . if true, cheatsville by the writers.

Currently, he does not time travel intentionally ("close his eyes and recall a memory"). It happens without purpose or thought. And they all involve Da Hae.
If writers don't explain this difference - or, if there is some sloppy quasi-explanation that stretches credulity, then big minus points.
So what will we believe? Did the ML really give her the marriage certificate? Or is it made up or do the guinostas…
The document clearly shows that both signed (sealed) - so if it's fake, she would need to have somehow acquired his seal.
But it theoretically doesn't make sense. If both of them signed in the future, then why would he tell her that it was a "present" (gift). And, thus far, he only time travels to "save" her.
But then, I didn't understand the tulip scene. He sees them, buys them and then is suddenly transported back without having a memory? I guess that's the point - it's not a memory that he can repeat - it happens when she needs to be saved/protected? That's why her story doesn't make sense to him now?
I hope he's smart and smells a rat. I would like to watch a story of cat-and-mouse.
I'm thinking she's lying, I think she realized she could use his power to her advantage because she really needs…
I think her master move was whatever she told her prior two husbands - something about they were the only one who had ever saved her? helped her? I can't recall. Time to re-watch and this time take notes. π
Currently, he is not actually changing anything in the past.In real life, the most accepted theory of time travel…
Whatever door they were talking about - they both understood what it referred to. So, perhaps he has told his father about that particular incident at the hospital.
I'm enjoying the family dynamics and characters, but the "mystery" part is leaving me cold - I really don't care what happened at that school long ago but apparently whatever happened is now tied to the present and the writer is throwing out many puzzle pieces but doesn't intend to even start putting the puzzle together until near the end.

I tried to understand your comment, but time travel . . . .brain freeze. . .not going to try to figure it out.
When ML said something to his father about the "event at the door" (can't recall the exact phrase), do you think he was talking about the door in the hospital? I thought it referred to something we haven't seen yet, but your comment re that specific door made me wonder.
The end of episode four was so dang stressful. I'm almost getting Miss Ripley vibes of a scammer FL playing her…
The only plot twist that would satisfy me at this point is that he is on to her scam. I will be disappointed if ML turns out to be a lovesick fool this early in the drama.
There's something about it, right? Maybe being highly rewatchable? Or well written story?
There were a couple of tiny plot holes, but overall the story ebbed and flowed in a plot that was plausible albeit outrageous.
I just finished "Queen of Tears" ((don't recall if you watched/commented? so you may totally disagree) but loved it for the same reason - a roller coaster of emotions, plot twists and jaw-dropping cliff-hangers.
Two years ago, I was watching this on my small screen computer/laptop via VPN - and people would comment on certain things (like the marks on a wrist) that I could not see.
Today, I'm re-watching on my lovely big-screen TV thanks to Hulu/Disney+ and damn, but this show is still as remarkable as it was two years ago.
It was just so damn funny, mocking the usual tropes. It was a drama with heart - but there were only small glimmers in the beginning. Crazy, frenetic with a classic pillow fight that will go down in kdrama history. Love, Kathryn51. π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°
10β - very rare for me. Why? Because I enjoyed watching - and re-watching. They said it would be a roller-coaster and they were right. Steep climbs, breath-taking descents, with lots of plot twist and turns. If you are viewer who wants very linear (point A to B to C) story-telling, this may not be for you.
This may be a repeat post, but it just showed up on my twitter feed - shows the "final" scene flower/cake celebrations for most of the main actors. My favorite is the four parents - the last scene they filmed was the one with the RV and farm equipment. π
The main leads were so in love , so why did they get divorced . The issue is not getting divorced and divorce…
"The main leads were so in love , so why did they get divorced ."
Because???? they are human? Because they had wildly different expectation of what marriage and commitment truly require to be successful? Because. . . lots of reasons and that's what the writer was trying to convey. A solid, successful marriage is really, really difficult. It requires ccompromise, communication, sacrifice. In my marriage, each of has had to take on 90% of the burden, depending upon the circumstances.
This drama is not the most overrated drama ever even though the writing maybe a little flawed.
I might have little quibbles with the writing or small wishes for either more info or less filler, but I didn't think it was flawed at any point. Sixteen episodes - "cliffhanger" required at every episode. Very, Very difficult task and I thought they pulled it off.
They were "connected" throughout the drama.It was a roller-coaster. The synopsis is accurate: βQueen of Tearsβ will tell the miraculous, thrilling, and humorous love story of this married couple, who manages to survive a crisis and stay together against all odds."
I was nervous to watch this one because of reviews but I love love LOVED it. the first few episodes were the hardest…
Reviews can be helpful (one reason I never watched CLOY) but we are all individuals, with individual tastes, filters, passion (whether for a particular actor or a particular writer or genre) . I absolutely loved it. Not every single minute, but the overall story, romance, family interaction, character evolution. It's definitely one of my Top Five.
Was very unsure of this one because of a few comments and reviews but still... spearheaded myself onto episode…
I was caught - hook, line and sinker - at the end of Episode 2. Up to that point, I was on the fence - did not like Hae-in, totally sympathetic to Hyun-woo. but that end to Episode 2 - EPIC.
This drama really meant a lot to KSH. They really had a great cast and staff. What a great combo..https://twitter.com/kshingx/status/1785465491030720821
I've never watched any drama with him (or Ji-won for that matter) but I will keep track. KSH's next drama (nominal title: "Knock Off") look like fun. It's on my watchlist - and I don't do that for many actors. ππ
Queen Of Tears ranks 2nd on Netflixβs Global Top Ten (Non-English Series) with 4.1 million views & 85.6 million…
Thanks for sharing.
The number that counts the most is TOTAL viewing hours, not the ranking in any one single week. For the past several weeks, QoT has been 2nd or 3rd - but they were up against dramas that were released all at once - and were No. 1 one for a single week before sinking to oblivion. π
But it's going to be hard to beat All of are Dead and Squid Game. Neither of which I have watched. π€£π€£π€£

But otherwise, this show is pretty bad - I guess it's intentional (those evenly spaced freckles??) but not worth my investment of time.
