Queen of Tears (2024)★ 8.1/10

오랜만에 푹 빠져서 본 한국형 로맨스 코미디 드라마. 올해에 나왔는데 벌써 2회차 관람 완료

The theme is totally out of sync with the romantic comedy vibe. I believe it would've been more effective if the writers had kept it real and used the show to poke fun at messed-up marriages instead of simply mixing in upbeat music and jokes. They clearly try to gloss over the male lead's shortcomings with love and then try to pass it off as dark comedy. It's alright, but I still don't think they should call themselves "dark comedy" writers if their script writing skills aren't up to par.

This Korean drama skillfully handles the themes of class and gender, giving them the right amount of attention. That's what makes it worth watching. By adding external pressures beyond just the romance, it avoids putting too much strain on their relationship. The main guy is basically a regular guy with some ingrained bad habits, but I think they might try to gloss over or explain his flaws in the upcoming episodes. Most of the time, the storylines feel pretty true to life, with some clever lines thrown in, all while keeping a comedic vibe throughout.

Finally, Korean dramas are back in their element—love stories. The pacing is spot on, and the story hits home, showing how three years of silence can slowly wear away all the happiness in a marriage, even if there was once love. They've even thrown in the classic Korean drama twist of a terminal illness, where all the petty grudges become meaningless in the face of death and everyone is on an equal playing field. The whole role-reversal thing with the main characters will also sit well with contemporary viewers. Let's just hope the rest of the plot doesn't drag on and end on a bad note.

Despite the constraints of the subject matter, it's a pretty decent show. Surprisingly, as a comedy, it actually delves into the brutal truth of marriage, showcasing how constantly compromising can lead to either party feeling trapped and suffocated. It seems like the only way to escape the frustration is by either running away or the other person walking out. Overall, the show might have the intention of boosting marriage rates and lowering divorce rates (just kidding)!

bien

Una series fascinante, de principio al fin creía que la reina de las lagrimas era ella pero resulto siendo el jajaj, una historia que empezó con altibajos para esta pareja, que nos muestra que las relaciones pueden tener segundas oporunidades, que no debemos dejarnos solo a la primera si no seguir luchando hasta donde mas se pueda, la pareja a pesar del dolor por la perdida de su primer bebe, comenzaron a alejarse y no hablaron del dolor que ambos sentian y eso los fue enfriando, pero que una nueva adversidad les demostro el amor que aun se tenian podian recostruir la relación que una vez tuvieron y eso les enseño que en pareja todo lo pueden resolver, lograron redescubrirse como pareja me encanto

Me encanta

Me gustó mucho está serie.

Hermosa serie, pero merecía un final mejor

Finalmente os dramas coreanos voltando à sua essência: histórias de amor. O ritmo é preciso e a história é certeira, mostrando como três anos de silêncio podem lentamente desgastar toda a felicidade de um casamento, mesmo que já tenha existido amor. Eles até acrescentaram o clássico drama coreano de uma doença terminal, em que todos os rancores mesquinhos perdem o sentido diante da morte e todos estão em igualdade de condições. Toda a inversão de papéis com os personagens principais também agradará aos espectadores contemporâneos. Vamos apenas torcer para que o restante da trama não se arraste e acabe de uma maneira ruim.

Apesar das restrições de enredo, é uma série razoável. Surpreendentemente, como comédia, ela investiga a verdade brutal do casamento, mostrando como o comprometimento constante pode fazer com que qualquer uma das partes se sinta presa e sufocada. Parece que a única maneira de escapar da frustração é fugir ou deixar a outra pessoa ir embora. No geral, a série pode ter a intenção de aumentar as taxas de casamento e diminuir as taxas de divórcio (brincadeirinha)!
