HAPPY WEEKEND EVERYONE

[10underoot2]

I was actually vibing with the episode till 1:10:00. I would've swallowed the amnesia as well if they handled it smoothly. But really framing a murder and giving me an illogical, unrealistic plan of a delulu man?! How is anything going to make sense by the end of this show?

I would've tuned in next week even if the cliffhanger this week was dry as the Sahara dessert. The episode could've ended on just just Hong Hae in opening her eyes with Baek Hyunwoo by her side and I would've been there ready with my tissue box cheering these two on.

The episode has so many to die for scenes. All of them have been grossly over shadowed by the ending. No one's talking about them cause everyone's either angry or uneasy about the end of the episode (rightfully so!).

I'm really afraid that Queen of Tears is going to be one of those Kdramas that just trips at the finish line and I end up retroactively disliking it. I was so captivated previously, but I saw this amnesia switch-up plot from a mile away and I don't know if I can get over how stupid it is...

You have two episodes left to redeem yourself!

Will we really not see what Hae-in wrote in the journal? That preview has me seething. I can't believe he's going to do that... I wanted to see how she described Hyunwoo ;___;

[murderousthighs]

I’m awfully afraid that Park Sung Hoon’s adorable face is going to make me instantly nauseous for quite a while after this role. His character is so utterly scummy 🤢

No one talk to me. I'm still wallowing from post episode 14 of queen of tears 😭😭😭

EVERYTHING WILL BE WELL!

"What? Did his wife abandon him here and run away? No way. He was abandoned. He must be a loser for her to leave him here. He's not a loser. Sorry? He's not a loser. My husband is the most amazing man ever."

Queen of Tears  눈물의 여왕 (2024) // Episode 14

[lovelysakuryay]

PUT ME IN A ROOM WITH EUNSEONG. I’LL FUCK UP THAT DELUSIONAL LITTLE PRICK. IVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU.

[i-got-the-feels]

Don't think. Don't make a decision. Just listen to me. Get the surgery, please, Hae-in

- Episode 14, Queen of Tears, 2024

Dedicating this set to hilarious and amazing @ipromisedthesunset because their tags just get me all !!!!!

Queen of Tears really just took a sharp nosedive off a very steep cliff these past 3 episodes. I didn't post anything about the last two episodes since there was nothing to say. I've had issues with some aspects of the drama that I could overlook because Hae In and Hyun Woo were top tier stuff. The break down of a marriage of two people who loved one another finding their way back to each other through medical crisis was so good. It didn't even need the Eun Sung or the family business stuff (it would have made a tighter, more coherent drama but I digress). But the last 3 or so episodes I've lost all patience. We've had:

Hae In's miraculous brain surgery which required no shaving of the hair, which I can overlook because it is a drama. Her memory loss too, as again, it's a drama and it's been hinted at since the beginning. I'm not necessarily thrilled with it but it's fine.

There is no way that Eun Sung would have suddenly become her legal guardian just because Hyun Woo left. It makes NO SENSE. Hae In was clearly there with Hyun Woo. They met with her doctors. There would have been forms and documents signed, with appropriate translators for any language barriers. Eun Sung would not have been able to waltz in and say I am her guardian now. I'm fairly confident of this even without knowing German law.

Hae In's family had people in Germany following her for...reasons??? They did nothing to protect her from Eun Sung? They didn't go to her when Hyun Woo was carted off? To be fair I was kinda fast forwarding part so maybe I missed something.

Hyun Woo's arrest, extradition back to South Korea, finding the evidence to break his case, trail, release and then arrest of the real perpetrator all took place within a month. Which seems absurdly fast. Also they found and arrested the hired hit man but not who hired him??

Hae In is following Hyun Woo, taking notes to figure stuff out for herself yet does not think to look herself up on the internet? Pretty sure there would have been articles about her saying Eun Sung threatened her?

I generally forgive the burned notebook finding its way back to her.

Also, Hyun Woo's sister is married? With a kid? Living overseas?? and we find this out in ep 13 or 14? No pictures of her kid anywhere?? No phone call?

Hyun Woon has been hit by car, by Eun Sung because of course that happened. At least he won't get amnesia, right? RIGHT?

What a mess.

I still stand by the core story of Hyun Woo and Hae In being the strongest parts, even within the past 3 episodes.

How much do you want to bet they are not even going to address the miscarriage, which was catalyst for their whole marriage falling apart in the final episode. Despite the 1031 being used for pass codes. I've been wanting that from when we found out and it looks like it won't happen. Who knows if Hae In will even get her memory back.

The preview for the final episode doesn't give me much hope, even if we get a nearly 2 hr final episode like Crash Landing on You.

So much wasted potential in the drama. If only they had focused on Hae In and Hyun Woo, and not 20+ other plots.

Hot Take - Amnesia

I hate amnesia story lines. They make me feel uneasy especially since some shows (read:see you in my 19th life) handled them really badly. I'm not a fan of it for Queen of Tears either and I'm hoping desperately it's just a plot device for angst and not something she ends up choosing or something that ends up happening.

One thing though I think it's necessary to point out that Hyunwoo was going to tell her everything and all the risks of the surgery no matter what. He just wanted to wait till they were in Germany so she couldn't outright refuse him. Do I think it's weird that she didn't receive the call from the hospital? Yes. Did I scream at Hyunwoo throughout the episode to tell her because I thought it would create drama and problems? Why yes, of course I did.

I did know however that the decision to have the surgery was ALWAYS going to be Haein's. I have enough trust in Hyunwoo to ensure his wife makes the decision. Also, I think Haein's father from the get go also requests Hyunwoo to take her to Germany and then tell her. He even requests him to convince her there to have the surgery knowing full well that the decision would be Haein's. They just wanted to increase the probability of her saying yes. Also it's extremely unethical and I'm sure would impact recovery if the concerned person didn't sign up for this kinda treatment. Also Hyunwoo isn't stupid, he knows the doctor was going to inform her of all the risks when she meets him in person, duh.

So I don't really mind how they played it I just mind ✨ Amnesia ✨ It's been done so many times and it's very cliché. In addition, Hyunwoo sweetie make all the promises you want but if she wakes up and decides she likes someone else, even Yoon eun sung of all people, you're. gonna. have. to. let. her. go! Or you'll be the creep no matter your history with her. I think Hyunwoo does know this and appreciates the sensitivity and risk of the situation but I think boi is choosing to be delulu that he can make her fall in love with him again which is fine but like do we really have to?

Secondly, memories make us up. Our lives are really shaped by them so her personality could end up being different as well. Let's just take her mother she would love her more now and so the harshness and coldness of her character would no longer be there. Her personality is interesting and having that go away would be sad for me as a viewer and for Hyunwoo.

Not to mention, I think amnesia story lines are annoying cause I remember what happened, your partner remembers what happened but here we all are unable to talk, reminisce or be happy about it. All memories have to be made anew, which is a shame cause of all the cute memories we've seen these past 13 episodes. With only 4.5 hours of screen time, a complex business story line and a psycho ex lover on the loose how many memories can you really make to convince me that this storyline was well worth it.

Lastly, unpopular take: I'd much rather take the angst of her death than the monotony of seeing her get her memories back. I'll cry buckets and complain at the injustice of it all. But life is unfair and things don't necessarily always work out like we expect them too. 2521 taught me that.

Thinking about these Kdramas that all had really good beginnings and then just nose dived and crashed into a million stupid pieces by the end:

(Because This is My First Life, Queen of Tears, Captivating the King, Marry My Husband, The Story of Park's Marriage Contract)

Though to be honest, Queen of Tears managed to stick the landing somehow with their mostly exploded aircraft, the last episode was really cute, but they lost me around Ep 12 with the Magic Memory Erase Cancer surgery. And everyone calling the female lead stupid/dumb for not wanting her memory erased... Yeah, totally because she has a bad personality she doesn't want that risk 🙄

Because This is My First Life crashed and burned to such an extent that I un-shipped the main couple after Ep 14. The female lead destroyed the male lead and then we're supposed to be happy that she gets him back. It was insane. Captivating the King broke down about halfway through, when the intelligent leads just got stupid. They also never really clarified what the female lead's grand plan was or how they solved everything at the end. Marry My Husband brought in Yu-ra and the dumbest break up of all time. And The Story of Park's Marriage Contract made me so angry with the ending that I ended up hating the entire show. The way they treated the past male lead was heartbreaking. This show was cute and fluffy, why make the ending so tragic and dumb?

Anyway, the good beginning, good premise, and excellent acting is what makes these all the more disappointing. If they had sucked all the way through, I wouldn't be so angry that they squandered such excellence!

queen of tears spoilers!!

identity is above all else, it seems like. ep 14 of queen of tears ruined me in all the good ways. when the question is "do you want to die as yourself?" vs "are you willing to live at the cost of who you are as a person?", the ultimate answer hae-in gives is no. she'd rather come to peace with the prospect of death with all of her memories of loving and, in turn, being loved coming with her. the death of memories is more painful than the death of her life itself. hyunwoo begging and sobbing in her arms does not deter her, however much she wants to keep on living. as herself. keep on living as the hong hae-in who loved dearly and who was loved, desperately so.

a loss of identity is death to everything that ever had a hand in helping her become who she is now. this brings me to the phrase "death is for the living". the dead do not mourn or face the aftermath of their last breath in the world of the living. the living, those who are left behind, are the ones who truly know what death is. so it is painful when hyunwoo, the man who isn't struck with the terminal illness bound to take her life any time soon, begs almost on his knees for hae-in, the woman who's counting the seconds left she has to live, to give up her sense of self. it's understandable how both of them stand strong in their desires. one fears becoming a stranger to all that she loves and one fears becoming familiar to life without the one he cannot live without. so he does everything in his power to have her take the surgery (all effort is in vain, she will not give up her identity).

i love this episode so much. im still only halfway through it but i had to give my two cents. such a beautifully tragic dilemma of two people who love. one loves by wanting to remember, one loves by giving everything to make her live. have a taste of love again for the first time. he says that he'll be the first person she'll meet and get to know again after the surgery. that he will still be there for her when she wakes up a completely different, empty, and lost person. he wants her to live, does not care if she'll ever even be able to reconnect with him ever again. he believes that she deserves to wake up another day and smile. to still be able to make new memories.

in the end they're both very selfish people who love selflessly.

edit: help me my stomach hurts from laughing so hard oml not him using his face and body card to annoy her into living. using jealousy as a mean to motivate her to take the freaking surgery and live ugh im in tears ahhahahah i love how if she doesn't become convinced the first few times when he's nice, he just intentionally pisses her off or annoys her into doing things to help herself 😭😭 thr only way to get hae-in motivated to live: make her mad at himself and have her do beneficial things out of sheer SPITE

edit 2: NO WHAT THE FOUK JUST HAPPENED POOR HYUNWOO OH MY GOD the way he lost all strength in his knees my god he crumbled in front of her feet he got a taste of what losing her felt like with that massive crash im still in shock i can't imagine having to witness that and trying to get through the car window to help save her and then not find her there?? and then she appears unscathed thankfully and he feels like a bucket of ice cold water drops over his head??? man they have to be so much more careful from now on bc the amount of yandereism the other guy is exhibiting ugh and the evil mother saying she'll help him out with "i can't stop till the moment i die" wtf??? OMG SHE'S GETTING THE SURGERY WHAT WHAT WHAT "i promised i would never make you cry after we get married" WOMAN HE'S BEEN SOBBING HIS SOUL OUT EVERY EPISODE SINCE!!!! 😭😭 ALSO NOOOOO NOT MY BOY SOOCHEOL GOING THROUGH IT AGAIN I CANT TAKE IT PLS MAKE HIM HAPPY WITH HIS LITTLE FAMILY I WILL CRYYYYYYYY he's gonna have MAJOR trust issues lmfao
