PERFORMANCES AND CHEMISTRY

Kim soo hyun and Kim Ji Won - both leads deliver powerful performances. Baek hyun woo - bringing warmth & emotion role and Hong Hae in - balancing vulnerability & strength. Their chemistry is one of the drama's strongest points, evoking both heartbreak & warmth as their relationship evolves.

Particularly in portraying the realistic struggles of a marriage.

Kim Ji Won has proven her versatility as an actress through various roles in her career, and Queen of Tears is no exception. Her ability to adapt to different characters & genres. Her portrayal of Hong Hae in not only elevates the drama but also solidifies her status as one of the top actresses in the industry.

Kim Ji Won is a strong contender for the highest awards in television acting.

Congratulations to the entire team and cast of Queen of Tears! Their amazing acting and dedication have resulted in one of the top-tier Korean dramas. The show's portrayal of complex relationships and personal struggles has resonated with audiences, cementing its place as a must-watch drama.

Is it really okay not to be okay?

From the beginning to the very end, I had the above question in my mind because there was not a story at all. There were some stories that I started but I did not finish watching I really have a regret now because I did not do that to this one. When we think about the title of the drama it really looks like it is regarding the mental disabilities and mental disabled people but even in the promotional poster, I really can't find the story and the title in it. Actually, it is an exception from the story. I really wanted to give a positive comment but according to my conscience I cannot lie. And also, I cannot find the basement of the story anywhere. Antisocial writer may be a good person to start a story with, but I can't see a success when making a story around her. The producers trying their best to give some horror and thrill sometimes, but I could not feel any of that. And also, actors and actresses have tried their best to perform the story and give the lives to the characters who were in the story. but I cannot say that is excellent because there were a lot of time that they were unable to add some color to the story and the story was too dark. There were scenes that the writer included in the story as thriller scenes but when we are watching the drama, they were useless, and they could not add any color to the whole drama, and they were out of the story line. When we take main and old incident which the whole story has based on that was really not strong enough to build a story. Actually, there was not any need for the story, but they really added something like artificial sweetener to make a story, but I really don't see the actual need or value of the story. I must say that this is only for sweet lovers who can't tolerate something other than romance and comedy. I really put a lot of effort to finish watching the story and I excepted something astonishing that whole time from beginning to the very end, but I did not see something like that. Therefore, I have a final question "Do you really think this kind of story make as a drama; is it really okay even though it is not okay?"

Beautiful story of Second chances

Likes
1. Everything about the drama was beautiful!! The three leads were so terrific and their chemistry worked so well. There was a seamless transition between Woo Young and Dae Young, it really felt like they were the same people. Kim Haneul is gorgeous as always.
2. The visuals!! ? all the guys were handsome and the girls were pretty! Except for the bad coach, i loved all the friendships and how supportive they are of each other. I absolutely loved Aerin!
3. Perfect balance of laughter and tears. My favorite storyline was of Dae Young and his dad and the sign language scene ?. And when Sia finally called up Dae Young to tell him she misses her dad.
4. The cinematography was so pretty too. And the OST. Im sad they didnt release the OST album coz i really wanted to get my copy.
5. So many life lessons about dreams, family, marriage and relationships.

"There are days when we hated each other. But thanks to that, we understand each other better. We learn to appreciate each other more. And we love more. There were more days when we were happier. For that happiness, we decided to love our decisions . We chose people based on love. And we are grateful for our decisions."

"In life, even if you miss out on happiness, as long as you have that one person who will look for happiness with you, your life will be worth living. Dont forget that you love each other. Be disappointed that you cannot cherish each other better. And promise for a better tomorrow. Just like that, our lives will continue."

Dislikes
1. Wished for more scenes between the twins. They dont seem to be close.
2. Deokjin-Ms Ok romance dragged on for too long. It was hard to see Deokjin get rejected so many times when he's such a nice guy. I thought he would go well with Aerin coz they're both sweet and hilarious but at least Aerin got a potential boyfriend in the end.

Rating: 9.5/10

Excited and point from the start,,, just survive not focusing on where and treating the infection

Very excited start, The main story start from the beginning,,

although only telling about how they survive from infection, but quite excited, unfortunately there are details that have been missed and it is not clear where the infection came from and the prevention of infection



There's no telling where the infection came from ,,, just finished until when they are rescued, like train to busan,,, For me, this does not end.




But the funny thing is day 7, the water has not finished,but drinking his father's collection of beer,,but when the water spliled , he drank the spilled water

On the 10th day he said the food and drinks had run out but on the 15th day there was still enthusiasm for dancing and the same cellphone with the one he tied on the drone ? ,, the same wallpaper ,,isnt his cellphone already dropped because lowbatt?

True Beauty Review! :)

Hi! This is my first time writing a review so I’m not sure if it’ll be good or not but here it is. Before the drama was aired and made, I had already read the webtoon, so I already knew the characters and I was familiar with the storyline,
The reason I have the story an 9.0 was because it really is a very good story. They included how she went through ppl finding out about her real face and how she overcame it and was able to be without makeup in school. That’s a transformation of the character and I’m glad it was included. But the story did have some things it could patch up. Like from the beginning, they made Suho like Jugyeong, so it was predictable that they would end up together. That leaves no room for Seojun to even fight for her. And when Suho left for the USA after his dad got sick, it only lasted half an episode. I think it could have maybe lasted a whole episode, to make Seojun feel better. My making Suho go to USA, I get that it was like a climax and they might break up, but they didn’t make it as dramatic as it should’ve been. Believe me, I got second lead syndrome while this was going on, and I bet many other did too.
For the acting and cast I definitely gave a 10/10. The casting is amazing and all the actors suit there roles so perfectly. I have absolutely no complaints.
For music I have an 8.0. There was a lot of music in the show, and the songs they had and OST’s were pretty nice.
Rewatch value is 8.5. I gave it that rating because the plot even after watching is still quite clear and it’s not a story that can be easily forgotten. But this genre or romcom is quite addictive and attractive, so I think considering the majority, more people would wanna rewatch it.
Well that’s all! Overall it’s a 9/10. This drama is amazing! I would recommend it to anyone who wants a drama about overcoming hardships and being truly happy. Remember, everyone is beautiful. What on the outside doesn’t matter, it’s the inside that counts :) (ewwww I’m cringing lol)

THIS DRAMA IS COPIED FROM LADY VENGEANCE

SEXUAL HARRASMENT OF FL IN LAST EPISODE
It wasn't on Script
HAN SO HEE wasn't even informed but director assume that she would do it because she is that kind of woman FOR them, because she has done proactive roles.
Director and ML just wanted to see her topless that's all.

Giho takes forever to die and did not die even after that many stabs, i find this 5ft guy more stonger then THE UNDERTAKER of WWE

ML has selective hearing ability during the fight with rapist guy he only hear whatever favours FL and miss everything that reveals her identity why because he wanted to screw her in the end...

ML Was introduced as asshole who look down on women but suddenly there is his dead sister
He was acting like he was born out of a man's anus
But because he is ML we need to ignore him looking down on FL
FL Is good fighter when it come to fight anyone but she is weak and lose everytime she confront ML why because director wanted to protect MLs cheap Pride that he can't be defeated by a woman he look down on.

MDL high rating Is ? shit
FL why she is taking revenge for a father who never tell her his own name ?
A man who make her live like a criminal her whole life and Destroyed her youth, she spent her another 5 year between criminal to take revenge for that guy ?
It was story of FL but director can't resist himself from sucking to ML

Nobody feel a shit when he got a hole in his head

Why rapist guy left FL to die with ML
I would have kept her with me to rape anytime i want or shoot her in head, if i am that pscho.
Why he don't rape her after he catch her because ML wasn't ready to protect her that time so villian did not thought of raping her... How good is bad guy

Mujin could have shoot both of them but he choose to shoot only ML because dude is poor to afford another bullet, he wanted to provoke FL for final fight which he wasn't able to fight because all he wanted was to die

I give it 6.5 because it was good when you watch it for first time you will believe everything the told you but if you rewatch it then half of things would look NONsense

Mujin Was framed for a murder that was done by FL and nobody no soul objected like whole police department was ON IT.
FL wasn't even question after murder why she shoot ?
It like there is nobody above GOD GIHO(ultimate Ninja)

vincenzo cassano, i will serve you.

i haven't watched any kdrama for months until i watched vincenzo. i was at first curious why was my mom laughing while watching this, given its mafia-law plot but then as i got to the first episode, i understood now why she found it funny.

the comedy balanced out the heavy elements of the drama, considering that it dealt with corruption and LOTS of blood. the geumga-cassano family will always have my heart as they did from the first episode. i love park seokdo and his subordinate's development, went from babel's employees to part of the family. although i will forever laugh at how he was very much afraid of vincenzo in the first episode.

taecyeon. my god ok taecyeon. i've watched him in let's fight ghost before, so him taking on a villain role was a new experience for me and he portrayed it so WELL! the way hanseok's personality changes when he's with chayoung to being the ceo of babel, literally *chef's kiss*. i love how jang hanseok's very unhinged, and he did justice to him.

jang hanseo, my poor baby :( i never paid attention to him because like what the characters in the drama said, he's just stupid with someone backing him up. towards the end of the drama, i felt this sort of fondness toward him, especially when he decided to turn his back on hanseok and start working with vincenzo. his death really devastated me (and my whole family) because he just found himself a brother that takes care of him and then all of a sudden, he's DEAD. i will forever cry at the way he calls vincenzo his 'hyung' and how he copies his moves.

and song joongki, my vincenzo cassano. he's literally perfect for the role LIKE? every time vincenzo shows up with this mafia aura around him, i can't help but swoon over him. he's so SOOOO sexy and the casting director really made a good job casting him as the perfect vincenzo cassano.

all in all, this goes to the list of my favorite kdramas. i never expected to watch a drama with joongki in it but here we are, having brainrot over this drama the moment i finished it. kudos to everyone!

started out well but then....

This is my second Lee Joon Gi drama, and I am so disappointed :(. I liked the main leads and their acting a lot, and I kind of want to see LJG in an unserious/unhinged funny role again because he did well here but some of the other acting performances were not convincing me at all. Choi Min Soo was one of the actors I could not stand in the show. Regardless of his character's ending (which I did not like because I felt like it was lazy writing), his acting made the character even more unbearable. He was overacting and simply gave a bad performance in my opinion. The tongue flicking was nasty, his hair and make-up made him look like a clown and his gangster behavior felt like a joke. He looked more like a cartoony stereotype than a true gangster.

I also found it ridiculous how everyone was head over heels over Cha Moon Sook, like....?? Everyone was just following and praising her like a dog, it was cult-like. It was ludicrous how everyone fell to their knees to apologize whenever they breathed wrong like she really had some serious power over these men and women, but I couldn't take it seriously because I found it too much. At times, the show felt like a play rather than a TV series because it felt too over the top.

Some things also just didn't make any sense. Like Song Pil's (SP) gang actually believing that he killed his uncle. I don't care that they ended up being corrupted by Miss Cha, it still felt so dumb that these men, who watched Sang Pil grow up, actually thought he killed his uncle. That entire plot felt dumb to me but okay. Also, Jae Yi's mom telling SP to break up with her and blabla like?? Girl, your daughter is not working with the man because she's in love, she's trying to get Cha Moon Sook locked up for being responsible for your supposed death.... be fucking for real, that annoyed me too.

I ended up watching the show in 1.5x speed to get it over with, but I have a feeling this is one of the not so good law shows because this felt all over the place. It was okay but also quite disappointing....

TRASH AND BL CLICKBAIT!!

TRASH! TRASH! TRASH! I HATE THIS SERIES. I used to have a high expectation on this series but to think that the director is using 2Moons cast as a clickbait really hurts me. WHERE IS COPTER X KIM BL MOMENT?! WHERE?! WHERE?!! IN MY ASS? CHECKED. NOT THERE! All they did is slight bromance and that's it. Like the heck? The trailer was so PROMISING! I don't even want to talk about Tee X Tae BL moment. ITS ALL BROMANCE! No BL at all. I am so disappointed. I feel like being cheated on. Tee X Tae shows such a good relationship in this series and they could leave it there. HOWEVER! When they decided Tee's character ( Akk) to kiss a fucking girl... I- I am crying. I was expecting BL and they hit me with hetero. What is this?! I appreciate that the story shows how Hotel Management industry works but it's bullshit. How in the hell do you expect an intern to know how to housekeeping immediately. They didn't even show a short demo even though the interns are from Hotel management industry, the head of department have to show them how it's done. I know this because i am a graduated student of Hotel Management.

Oh god. Tee's kissing scene with a girl is like the director throwing acid into my eyes. I hate it. There's only one couple in the series but i still couldn't feel the sexual tension between them. I try to ignore the bad review for this series but they are right. This series are basically shit. I thought watching this series could lead me to the closure that i need from 2 Moons since they decided to change the cast ( WHICH IS A VERY VERY BAD DECISION ) but boy, I did the biggest mistake in my life. P'Kim is being himself to be honest and there's not much bromance scene too between P'Copter and P'Kim. OH.MY.GOD. Bad series of the year! This series could be on my list of Bad BL Series that includes What The Duck as well.

OVERALL: Don't watch it. It's trashy. Total disappointment. A click bait so people watch the series and wait for BL but guess what? THERE'S NO BL!!

Binged it. Actors expressive. Ju jing yi too cute. Nice use of sound effects. Rom-Com happy ending.

Everything works out. It's a light hearted drama that kept me giggling. The actors were very expressive and did a great job with protrayal of the characters. A lot of this story is fluffed and unrealistic especially during those times but if ya want a rom-com you got it. I thoroughly enjoyed the drama until the last episodes came around. The conclusion of the story, the gender reveal moments and reactions, the eminent danger the protagonists were in all felt a bit lackluster and rushed. 30 episodes worth of seemingly deep issues were easily resolved in a matter of 6. Overall though, this drama go me all giddy and craving more. I managed to binge the series within a day and now I feel empty that it's over. On to my next journey.

It could be a hit if they focused to Main Lead..

It is good that I watched before reading all reviews and comments here. Obviously most of them liked Baek In Ho. I don't see any special about him. Most of his scenes were just playing piano, practicing piece in piano and trying hard to make himself better than ML.. He has more air times than Yoo Jung which makes it boring, I have skipped all scenes of Baek In Ho. Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun are great actors. They portrayed their roles very well. This could be a hit if PD did not make dramas and reverting the story to Baek In Ho, and until now I don't understand why she let them aired. Many episodes were wasted and many important parts from Webtoom were omitted. But overall, I love this series. Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun are both very effective and they managed to show to viewers their characters.

WTFFH? (what the flying flipping heck?)

Some words come to me when watching this 1: WTF 2: awww 3: YYYYY? 4: FINALLY!!!! This show made me laugh way to much, it hurt my brain to figure out why and how they thought of it, (still not sure why) it is not bad not good but not bad. If you are looking to pass some time and have a laugh it is not a bad choice but make sure you have no expectations of what will happen because once you think it can't get weirder it does ^_^ OxO
