This was one of those unexpected series I've watched because I've seen too many clips that it made me REALLY interested. (I usually don't watch ongoing series because I don't like the waiting time in between episodes. I jumped the bandwagon more than halfway through the series and I could say that the torture of 3-4 weeks is totally worth it).

I never thought that I needed SooHyun and JiWon on the same screen but they totally delivered and I can't get enough. I love the simplicity of the storyline -- where it's both predictable and unpredictable. I thought it was just another romcom but I found myself crying as much as I laughed. The chemistry between the Queen's family and HyunWoo's family (including the whole village people) is too cute and heartwarming. They're not perfect but somehow they made it work better than perfection can.

The HyunWoo and HaeIn couple is the type of relationship that I really root for. I didn't experience what they went through but somehow I felt all the pain and all the happiness they have. If they're real people out there, I really wish them happiness until they're old. The challenges they went through only made them stronger.

The OSTs are also gem. Even without watching, if I hear the OST somewhere, I definitely feel warm and fuzzy -- sometimes a bit teary eyed, too. I can never recommend this enough, I really love Queen of Tears. ❤️
