Queen of Tears

Kim Soo-hyun, is a dear, a darling and delightful to see him here in this refreshing drama filled with one-of-a-kind comedic delights: facial expressions (riotously funny), body language, puns and any moment/unexpectedly fun one -liners to full-blownout conversations. He is a delight; the female lead is outstanding, feminine, intelligent and beautiful.

I haven't seen a drama of this caliber since " My Love from the Stars and "The Moon Embracing the Sun" and "It's Okay Not to Be Okay." It's only two episodes in, too! What a refreshing delight! The OST serenades the souls! 10/20 so far! I'm so stokes by it!!!

It's after a long time I actually liked a romantic Kdrama. This was funny, emotional, intense and at the same time stupid. The story in the beginning is a gem, as it progressed it was predictable and frustrating. The one thing which saved this show and made me rate it so high was the acting, an absolute delight. It reminded me of the emotional intensity when I first watched CLOY, which I'm grateful that I could feel it again. I actually sobbed again which is a testament to how good some scenes actually are.

Do give it a try, it can be frustrating and stupid at times but surely watching the acting would flutter your heart. And most of it all is that this has a good ending.

This series gives us a very satisfying story of love conquering against all the odds. With two such wonderful actors in the lead roles and a plot full of evil villains and multiple challenges to be overcome there is every reason to get on side with our heroes and cheer them on.

The entertainment is deepened by the characters of the two leading characters. Neither is straight-forward. She is a controlling, power-hungry and money-grabbing woman evincing little empathy and few emotions. He is an out of love husband desperate to escape both her and her horrible family.

Then crisis hits and everything is turned upside down. Witnessing their journey is a joy. As the best Korean dramas do, this effortlessly combines romance, thriller and comedy into pure entertainment.

My only reservation is that the medical condition that drives much of the plot seems to appear when the plot needs it and then disappear until needed again. This series would otherwise merited a 10 instead of a 9. If the joy lingers I might return and upgrade the score.

It tells us the journey of a couple who have become distant due to circumstances and now face an ill-fated twist in their life. But this unfortunate twist only brings them together and gives them the courage to fight their fate. It shows how even a small kind gesture gives hope to people who are at the verge of losing everything.

The motto of this series is "No matter what the situation, Love always wins".

As always Kim Soo-hyun has done an amazing job playing a perfect husband. Actually superb acting has been shown by all the actors be it lead or supporting. The chemistry between ML & FL is excellent. The casting team has outperformed their job. This series is a whole package, it has romance, comedy, thriller, suspense, heartfelt emotional twists.

Also, I am a girl so I have to say this, (Kim Ji-won) FL's outfits throughout the whole series have been excellent. It makes me want to redo my wardrobe.

A-list Korean actors in this series save it from being another banal treatise on the excesses of the super rich. Kim Ji-won does an outstanding job as the brittle, cold, and superficial FL (Hong Hae-in) who is fabulously wealthy and--as it turns out--tough as nails. The ML, Kim Soo-hyun plays the kind, honest, handsome, athletic, intelligent Baek Hyeon-woo, who (for some reason) can't get enough of Hae-in, who deigns to throw him a crumb now and then. In spite of the threadworn plot, the writing and acting give this drama a boost and elevate it to a higher level.

Unlike other Korean series, this one showcases some secondary characters who can actually hold the viewers' interest. Eight stars.
