queen of tears episode 1 was so interesting!!!!
to show a fairytale romance in 10 minutes and then spin it on its head and have the male lead being roped along as a pathetic and depressed son in law while the female lead is stoic cold and powerful is so interesting to me. like, what a smart way to subvert a trope.
not to mention, the way hyunwoo has so fallen out of love, but you can see these moments when haein still cares so deeply for him, but she just cannot express it? incredible stuff. kim jiwon and kim soohyun are marvelous.
nothing else to say about the cast bc it’s just perfection after perfection. love it when you have actors who can ACT put in one room together.
the drama is not a romcom at all but is more a makjang black comedy romance which i find so enjoyable. and in the hands of a writer who has given us some of the most iconic romances in kdrama history? i’m ready to watch these two fall in love truly all over again.
and i’m hoping and praying that the terminal illness is FAKE
