Critic Reviews

Short review 4 min read English Queen of Tears

Queen of Tears (2024) Review: Marriage, Money and Melodrama

Queen of Tears is Park Ji-eun's 16-episode K-drama about a chaebol marriage on the brink, a lavish mix of in-law comedy, weepie and boardroom intrigue.

Yes, with reservations. It is a hugely entertaining melodrama for fans of Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Ji-won and big emotional K-drama, if you can forgive a cartoonish villain.
