it would seem it’s been awhile since I’ve been actually active on here. I’m hoping to turn that around but in order to do that I need to know if anyone who had threads / sent asks to me previously, would you like to continue those? 

Or would it be easier for everyone if I erased everything and moved on?

I thought I would have so much to say about the car accident scene. And while I could go on for a while on why it's everything I've ever wanted from a scene of this nature and why it's a beautifully acted cinematic piece, I do think the beauty of the scene lies so much in silence. Their expressions are do a fantastic job to express their emotional state so I'm just gonna call attention to a few things I won't get over anytime soon.

Imagine being Haein and seeing your husband wrecking a car window in hysteria. Imagine seeing disbelief on his face when he sees you and walks towards you. Imagine watching him unable to breathe properly (sound on and high for this scene). Imagine seeing life flood into him as soon as you touch him.

Jiwon plays such an important part here. Because Haein has NEVER seen Hyunwoo like this. He's a pretty calm nice, non-violent guy. She knows him to like mostly everyone and he rarely gets angry - he's pretty composed. But then what is this look of complete shattered pain on his face? With a mix of disbelief, bearing the heaviest heart on the planet? He's unrecognisable to her. She can't make sense of any of his actions. She's in utter shock hearing how hardly any air is making it's way into his lungs.

In his eyes is a look of crazed wilderness just tamed. He's out of his sense. Completely lost in the events that have just passed. Not believing that he can breathe. That it's okay. All is well in the world for now. She's unscathed.

'What's going on? Calm down.'

The way she asks him to calm down - touching his face - cause she just doesn't know what in the world could send him in such a frenzy to forget himself. Her asking him to calm down here is everything to me. She's really just saying I'm here okay. Calm down. Calm down, you can breathe. Tell me what happened and I can fix it.

'Even still, Are you crazy? How could you break the window with your bare hands? Look at this!'

I know it probably didn't register to him at that point. But he's hearing her being worried for him again when he thought her lost forever. Wouldn't that sound like music to his ears.

And her...god she's so worried for him. She's never seen him like this. She doesn't know what happened to make him like this. One she sees his absolutely broken bloody hand. Two she's seeing her husband absolutely crushed. She's so confused.

That is until his words hit her like a truck. I think she had an idea that he did it to save her but she didn't know he did it because he thought her dead. And that makes all the difference for her.

Also I thought it was very interesting to keep showing his injured hand clenching. I think it was a way to show how the physical pain still didn't hold a candle to his emotional turmoil. He CLENCHES that broken hand multiple times. I can't even begin to think when he actively registered the pain.

The need for constant touch to reaffirm that she indeed is there. The sitting down. The head on her hand. The heavy breathing. *Chef's kiss*

I love women comforting the man they love when he's broken. Gah! That hand on his face and hug. Her embracing him. Letting him cry all he wants. Giving him the reaffirmation he needs by placing her self as close to him as possible. Trying to tame and override his sense. The hand on the nape of his neck. The hand caressing his hair lovingly. And good god, the RINGS.

Also notice his breathing on her shoulder. He's trying to calm himself. Telling himself she's here. Hearing her say it's alright. Everything will be alright.

I'm sure they stay like this until the ambulance comes and asks them if they're hurt. Only then Haein must've gently tore him apart from her (hand on his face again ofcourse) and convinced/guided him to finally get treatment. I can just Imagine Hyunwoo completely dishevelled going, 'Huh *sniffs*......oh.......Right, my hand' and that's when the pain hits him.

Special mention to the hospital conversation when Haein asks him 'Will you sob like this if I die?' and he says truthfully, bashfully, embarrassed but without missing a beat 'Ofcourse.' He's hiding behind nothing. He truly meant to give up on himself after her.

For me this is also the night Haein starts to write her diary. Hyunwoo must've been sound asleep, amped up on painkillers and she must've had so much time to sit and admire him and write.

I don't run after men but when he's a lawyer, a boxer, can shoot guns and most importantly has 35 cows, I might jog a little.

The things I’d like to say about these pics of Lee Soo Hyuk in Queen Woo would get a mature label slapped on this tumblr so I am presenting them with no comment.

Hyun woo’s face when he realized Hae in is still alive.

The second she realized what just happened.

Hyun woo is so devastatedly broken, absolutely crushed and it finally triggers something in Hae in. She’s witnessing her husband utterly destroyed about her death even though she’s in front of him, clearly alive.

And I’ve always loved how strong Hae in is and this is a great example. Hyun woo has been comforting her for several weeks through the loss of her grandpa and her lifestyle and her fortune and now she stepped up to comfort her husband. She says “it’s okay” with confidence and rubs the nape of his neck. 😍🥺

Has In’s eyes when she’s come to terms that she’ll do the surgery. I give props to Kim Jiwon for her stellar acting. She does such a wonderful job with her expressions.

I absolutely love Queen of Tears. Great acting. Great plot. Love the comedy. And it is also bringing out the internalised Misogyny of people. I see people hating on Hae in. And I don't think people understand that this is a typical CEO romance and the only thing that has changed is the gender. Which means all the things you're hating Hae In for; like lack of communication, noticing the lover after some major changes etc etc, are the same things you see in a man and you go "oh my gods he was in so much pain 🥺".

Because Hae in is a typical chaebol. The only difference is she's a woman now. And you expect her to be more nurturing, more caring, more communicative than the man. And that's why you hate her. Big deal people. She's human. She has her flaws. We're seeing her character grow.

Do better people!

Apparently, I'm cute when I'm drunk. She said that was my special move.
