I'm redrawing this Jang Ki-yong & Chun Woo-Hee shot for Elle Korea with Crowley and Aziraphale. I think it's SO them! I'm at 60%, I would say. I hope to post the art next week. 🥳

Y'all I can't bawl my eyes alone so I have decided to inflict pain on here too.

Brace yourself!

I have just watched the pre release clip for this Monday's ep and the realization has flattened me like a bulldozer (I am not kidding)

OG timeline where sol gets into the accident, she was sleeping and Sunjae didn't wanted to disturb her sleep but later after he misses two more stops he gets ready to wake her up but she suddenly herself gets up and gets off the bus while Sunjae is picking up his stuff... And the rest we all know...

Now take this⤴️ shot and this

You know what hit me... That from the hospital time where sol screams "why did you save me?" To this bridge meeting what's the constant thing between them, for Sunjae the regret of not waking her up in time, for not saving her in time, therefore when you see him meet her, there's glistening in his eyes as if saying " what if" and he does his routine acts of service, giving her umbrella, the hot pack for hands and asks her how she is getting home, all the while thinking of that same regret, guilt. Sol might not have any recollection but for Sunjae it's just like living the same day

And to add more salt to wound HE MAKES SURE SHE GETS HOME SAFE THIS TIME, EVEN IF SHE HAS NO OUNCE OF HIS MEMORY

If you watch this scene you'll see how his eyes trails her corridor lights as to when she reaches her apartment

istg this show has devastated me in way I can't describe!!

It's been ages since a kdrama had this effect on me

Adding more pain:

YOU KNOW HOW HE PANTED HIMSELF WHILE RUNNING TO STOP THE BUS CUZ SHE COULDN'T GET OFF THE BUS... WELLL NOW IT'S ALSO A PAIN PARALLEL TO THE OG TIMELINE

baekhong lost their baby and they never addressed it and baekhong have not moved past it since they use 1031 everywhere and we are at episode 16 and it probably won't ever get addressed because we need to watch cars hitting people and contrived memory loss instead

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.

I am headcanoning so hard that the reason we have some many scrumptious scenes of them horizontal is because they looked at that height difference and thought how else can we take advantage of this and make them on the same level and they thought…let’s makes them lay down a LOT

Here for it and maybe it’s not a conscious plan so much as me being obsessed with their height difference and hyper aware of it…because it’s not just the laying down it’s anytime their is a choice for them to be on the same level in any way that has me swooning

Anytime they are getting into each other’s space

I am living

You know one thing that truly was a happy surprise in Queen of Tears? Hyun Woo's friendships and the loyalty they carried.

I've seen a lot of people praising Secretary Na but you also have to acknowledge that Hyun Woo has some really amazing and steadfast friends.

At the start of the show, all his friends were playing the russian roulette of who will handle his divorce case. It was given that it will be one of them, it was also given that they will have to withstand the might of the entire Hong family, which isn't something anyone can survive. But. Although they were scared, they didn't drop it or flee to save their career. They understood that it was something you do for your friend, even if you want to kill the said friend for putting you in the situation. There was also the scene where Yang Ki legitimately wanted to flee in the face of Vincenzo as opposing attorney, but just cursed and went after Hyun Woo. He was really scared of the situation and wanted to be anywhere but there but refrained from fleeing only to support his friend. Then there is also the scene where all his three friends come as his attorney to defend Hyun Woo in the company's hearing for malpractice case. They combined all their specialization to figure out something to get him out of the situation. This is specially monumental because we can see in the show, how every friend or family member related to the Hong's abandoned them in the time of need. Them still sticking with Hyun Woo while he is in middle of such scandal says a lot about them and how much they value loyalty. Yes, there were times where we wanted to bash Yang Ki's head for straying Hyun Woo when it came to Hae In but he did come through as a true friend what with him helping Hyun Woo all the time throughout the investigation.

It's a refreshing counterpoint to the negativity that often surrounds Hyun Woo. In a world where self-interest seems to reign supreme, his friends demonstrate the power of genuine loyalty.

HONG HAEIN: But… let's say a lot of time passed, and you died. Then I'll become an angel and pick you up. If I show up, it'll be less scary for you.

BAEK HYUNWOO: If you die before I do, I'm going to live one more day and then follow you. How will I ever live without you?

We forgave those we used to resent. We can sometimes stop and appreciate the scenery. Then time will gradually being to flow more quickly. Time will slip away, and we won't be able to do anything about it. That's how we'll spend every day of our lives. We'll enjoy all the happiness that life grants us. One day… when only one of us is left… The other one can come meet them. Then it won't be scary at all. Because we'll be together.

im sol: i'll jump across space and time for you

ryu sun-jae: my least favourite weather phenomenon is now my favourite because of you that's how much i like you

im sol: can you not please

[captainjoongki]

absolutely wild how queen of tears was having a once-in-a-life-time kdrama run, hitting it out of the ballpark with every episode, but now we just have to watch it limp to the finish line with these awful early 2000s CW level plot-lines.

genuinely just tuned in for baekhong/soohyun & jiwon acting showcases because this is all so Ridiculous i can't even take it seriously anymore. we were promised One Drama and are getting something completely different and it's quite depressing

[factorygirlsstuff]

Haein providing the “com” that we’ve all needed in this “romcom” lol 😂.

[dangermousie]

I see a lot of people disappointed by ep 15 of QoT/saying it's gone downhill but I got to say for me, it's actually incredibly consistent throughout from ep 1 to ep 15 - a fun, brain-dead, elevated by great acting makjang.

If you want a character examination of a relationship or even a solid, plotholeless piece of nuanced writing, QoT is not that and to me it never was.

I mean, yeah the amount of nonsense in ep 15 is huge - from how bad dude gets custody of her or that apparently it's set in 1824 instead of 2024 since internet and its eternal memory does not exist, but how is it different from the fact that the takeover was able to be accomplished the way it did or the magic illness and magic surgery or that not realistic in any way family or really anything else?

The acting ranges from solid to amazing, the chemistry is great, the budget is sizeable but it never really was anything but an upmarket version of Escape of the Seven or Perfect Marriage Revenge or Temptation of an Angel or other makjangs. Perhaps Secret is a better comparison in some ways - A list actors, big hit, makjang as hell plot. Realism and reality and not a thing in that genre though so I am never phased by all the insanity (but never too invested either.)
