Good but not great, a solid 7/10. The acting, music, and cinematography were fantastic, I just felt disconnected from the story and from all the characters except for Hyun-woo, Hae-in, and Soo-cheol.
Amazing show, delivering phenomenal acting from our main characters. It delivers an ending that pulls at your heartstrings.
I just wished that it didn't get so tropey in the last episodes in the show.
This is a writer Park Ji Eun classic ; her formula works yet again with a high calibre cast she delivers another hit but does this compare to others CLOY , MyLoveFromStar , LegendofBlueSea is a discussion for another place.
I really enjoyed Kim Ji-won portrayal of Dept Princess aka CEO icecold ; she really put in a lot in the character and made it believable despite the character with most flaws in the show. Kim Ji-won was due for a big hit and fame ; she finally achieves it here ..been waiting since DATS
Kim Soo-Hyun is charming , funny and yet the same time unforgivable but redeems quickly in the later part of the show when he realizes he is not the only on suffering in the marriage.
Park Sung-hoon played the perfect second fiddle to the couple and sometimes outshining us with his yearning for love be it his mother or Hae In
Rest of the Queens (Hong) and Baek are all adorable in their unique way . The Grandpa and his side piece can go to hell though
The Last few episodes despite the plotline being predictable as a veteran viewer every minute was enjoyable when Hae-in lost memory and stalking her ex-husband allegedly her stalker taking cute notes on his likes & dislikes
Slow beginning. Took 8 episodes to get into it
Just destroyed 23 hour of my life very predictable
The Kdrama that made me cry buckets. Kim Soo-hyun is my Korean man crush. And next to Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Ji-won has now become my Korean girl crush. I first noticed Ji-won in Descendants of the Sun and couldn't forget her beauty!
An emotional rollercoaster, from laughs to gasps, tender to treacherous, infatuation to heartbreak, joy to grief. Great premise. Impressive writing. Superb cast. Now that it has completed its broadcast, I would suggest you binge this. It was excruciating to watch it episodically. I followed two actor’s (Kim Ji-won, Kim Soo-yeung) filmographies here and will now be following the filmography of the Creator, Park Ji-eun. (She has created some classic series (ie. CRASH LANDING ON YOU - horrible title, but a perfect 10 of a series). I give this series a 9 (superb) out of 10.
King of Tears 101: How to make a series rise with the just right cast despite having the most pointless villains of the drama in addition to unbalanced script and sloppy plot? How to waste the most perfect couple ever by trying every single soap opera's trope?
In the last two episodes, I was completely disconnected from the story as if I was watching a completely different drama, so all I got from the finale was a big emptiness.
Even though the drama tried my patience a lot, I am very glad to know you Baekhyunwoo, you were really born to love Honghaein. Goseng manhasso..
It was really exquisite to watch a couple who can be so simple and clear at the same time while becoming a giant by taking strength from each other.
Hope that this energy will return to reality without wasting and that they will spread mini 'kimkims' to the world. :heart:
good but not remarkable. checks all the boxes for the hit drama formula (great cast, funny moments here and there, great second and third lead, etc)
I've always admired Kim Jiwon's versatility and felt that she was somewhat underrated. Finally in this drama, she receives the well-deserved recognition that has been long overdue.
Plot-wise, it's quite predictable with some clichés and loopholes but I can't help tuning in to every episode. The cast has great chemistry, especially since many of them have worked together on other projects. The show's creators also included plenty of easter eggs, so if you're a fan of kdramas and movies, you'll enjoy spotting some of them. I personally appreciate how the drama isn't overly complicated (although I don't understand choosing death over losing memories???), funny at times and has many heartstring-tugging moments, culminating in a highly satisfying ending.

I don't normally write reviews. But I felt the need to do so for this one. I don't know where to begin. I'm out of words, all the emotions I felt watching this masterpiece. It left me in tears. It's called 'Queen of tears', after all. From the first episode to the very last, I was crying, laughing, then crying again. I felt angry, sad, and happy. The last time I felt all this from a show was "Crash landing on you." It was my number one. Now I have 2 number one cause I can't choose between them. What I can easily say is that it's one of the best kdramas I've ever watched.
Best performance from all cast I wouldn't change any of them. They cast the best for each role. The chemistry between Kim Ji-Won and Kim Soo-hyun is top-notch. I will miss each and every one of them. My weekends won't be the same.
If you like crash landing on you, you will definitely like this one for sure. I recommend this show 100%
