Post finale update and thoughts
Wow, feels like the writer went through this list and ticked off each item one by one.
I had great expectations for this show but the minute they decided they'd rather spend time on Eun-sung and his villainous shenanigans I should've checked out of the show. It tried to be a lot of things but it failed to live up to the original premise - a healing show about a married couple who rediscover each other. Too many unnecessary scenes and not enough time spent on the MC and their personal problems. I don't feel emotionally moved by the ending nor do I think it was memorable in any way.
KJW and KSH you rock my world, but the show did you dirty. Well. Onwards to the next show.
unresolved plotlines from Queen of Tears that deserves more attention than whatever the fuck is going on Eun-sung, his mommy issues and the slush fund:
1. Hae-in and Hyun-woo talking about the baby instead of shooting each other wistful glances when they see 1031 as the other's passcode
2. Hae-in's brother Su-wan
3. The estranged uncle who lives in Hawaii
4. The TREATMENT for the disease???
5. Hae-in and Hyun-woo realising their in-yeon?
I hope they wrap up this takeover plot soon and focus more on Baekhong 🙏

welp, that was the most underwhelming "happy ending" I've ever seen. Kim Ji-won and Kim Soo-hyun were the saving graces of this show and they deserved better

You know what is an absolute shame, that queen of tears had all the potential to be so so great. All it would have taken was a little more writing comprehension and understanding that a story doesn't need 50 something plot points, everyone would have tuned in for just baekhong and them navigating the complexities of marriage, dealing with their families, and dealing with the potential loss of life, and the way two people can be so destined for each other, fine they could have had villains but the villain didn't need to be a one dimensional character that had such plot armour throughout the show to the point that the main female character who has such intellect in all other moments somehow loses it around him just so we can entertain mediocre moments of ridiculousness, at the very least focus could have been placed on one villain, instead we have some deranged execution of mommy/son issues that had such potential but was just wasted and it's the way this drama feels like it's insulting my intellect that really just gets to me.
With that said, I still think baekhong is precious and that no drama has had characters like them before but I really think that it isn't even the writing anymore, it's that soohyun and jiwon have given this story their all and watching them has been a treat because they bring out the best parts of baekhong while the writer runs around in circles.
