Queen of Tears: Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won in a dysfunctional romantic comedy

Queen of Tears

The key innovation of Queen of Tears is the gender flipping. When a hardworking, working-class character marries a corporate figure and is despised by their mother-in-law, it is typically a woman. However, Kim Soo-hyun’s character is subjected to treatment that is often reserved for daughters-in-law.

The show’s title even plays on this gender inversion, since the emotional “Queen” is Hyun-woo, who cries his way through drinking sessions with pals while recounting his marital difficulties.

Hae-in is incapable of cracking a smile, let alone shedding a tear – but don’t rule it out; we’re still early in the show’s run.

Aside from this minor variation, Queen of Tears follows a set formula. It is content to show us a fighting corporate family and a pair of handsome leads whose animosity for one another grows into love as they stand up to that family.

The first episode establishes the most of this plot in a very engaging manner, but the second episode, which runs for 88 minutes, loses steam.

The romantic comedy drama, Queen of Tears is now streaming on Netflix and Hii Tv.
