After watching the first few episodes, I want to say: "The Queen of Tears" is very good, and it gives me the feeling of chasing online articles for updates!
The male protagonist Baek Hyun-woo, played by the handsome guy Kim Soo-hyun , is a top student in the law department of Seoul National University. After graduation, he joined the Queen Group to engage in legal work.
Here he met a beautiful and strange intern, our heroine, Hong Hae-in , played by a beautiful woman.
She always kicked the printer with her feet, causing her colleagues in the company to call her a bad intern.
The male protagonist knows that she will be fired if this continues. If she does not give her guidance, she will still be fired even if she changes to the next job.
So the male protagonist came to help the female protagonist, and he fell in love with her over and over again. He even confessed to her on a rainy day:
I graduated from Seoul National University. I have nearly 35 cows at home and live in a rented house.
In summary, he is an outstanding young man with good conditions. Even if the heroine is fired, he is still willing to support her.
If the female protagonist is just an ordinary girl, the male protagonist's conditions are indeed good, but the real identity of the male protagonist is the third generation of the Queen Group's chaebol.
After knowing the truth, the male protagonist resigned and hid overnight, but the female protagonist parachuted into the male protagonist's village in a helicopter.
The goddess descended from the sky and said she would never let him shed a tear again. How could he not be moved?
In this way, two people with very different status fell in love. In the end, the male protagonist married into a wealthy family and became the pride of the whole village.
transforms from a cold professor into a chaebol son-in-law. I have to say that the character design of Kim Soo Hyun's new drama is too subversive.
What is it like to be a "son-in-law" in a chaebol family?
When interviewed by reporters, the male protagonist smiled and said that he was happy every day and was a lucky man living with the woman he loved.
But this is not the case. After marriage, the male protagonist continued to work in the Queen's Department Store.
But when the wife is the boss, the father-in-law is the boss’s boss, and the grandfather-in-law is the boss’s boss’s boss, the male protagonist’s job is hard to describe.
As a director of the Queen's Department Store legal team, the female protagonist basically ignores some of the male protagonist's work suggestions and just gives orders for the male protagonist to execute.
Moreover, he also has to take care of various legal issues of the seven aunts and eight aunts of the heroine's family, becoming a tool to wipe the chaebol's butt.
When he returned home, his wife was indifferent to him. The two had already separated rooms after three years of marriage and lived the life of roommates next door.
He also obeyed the orders of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and had no right to say no. Even the time and name of the child had been arranged.
Even if you run away from home to drink away your sorrows, there is no absolute freedom at all, because you are always followed by a "personal" bodyguard.
The male protagonist also thought about divorce, but the chaebol family was too powerful, and everyone who filed for divorce with their family would end badly.
But when the male protagonist accidentally learned that the female protagonist had notarized her property before marriage but never told him, he made up his mind to end the marriage.
Just when he plucked up the courage to find the heroine with the divorce agreement, the other party told him that he was dying and had about three months left.
This means that if the female protagonist dies due to illness, the male protagonist can get rid of her safely without suffering revenge from the chaebol family.
So the male protagonist hid the divorce agreement, and in order to get the female protagonist to change her will, the male protagonist decided to please her with all his heart in the last three months.
He started sending flowers to the heroine and peeling shrimps. During the company meeting, he would call an ambulance when he saw her choking on drinking water. He instantly transformed into a model husband.
On the other side, the second male lead Yin Juncheng (played by Park Sung-hyun) who mysteriously appears will also join the emotional whirlpool of this chaebol couple.
He is the heroine's college classmate, and he has been in love with the heroine since he was a student.
returns from overseas this time. As a well-known financial investor, he and the heroine will have many intersections in their careers.
And because the heroine fell ill and the second male lead appeared, the male and female protagonists also began to re-examine the relationship and ushered in a miraculous opportunity to start over.
Judging from the development of the plot, this drama combines elements such as strong women and weak men, grievances between chaebols, marital disputes, and reunions. The superimposition of these elements
is very interesting when you think about it.
This drama also continues the soul of Korean dramas. Many viewers said after watching it that the feeling of watching Korean dramas in the past came back.
For example, the matching of handsome men and beautiful women.
The protagonist combination of Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won in the drama can be said to be quite friendly to the audience's eyes.
Kim Soo Hyun is still handsome, and Kim Ji Won is beautiful and majestic. The two of them standing together are full of CP, and the picture is too eye-catching.
So please study mainland idol dramas, these are the male and female protagonists who are good to the audience.
In addition to their good looks, their acting skills are also remarkable.
Regarding playing the role of Baek Hyun Woo, Kim Soo Hyun said that it was the first time he played a husband and that this role had various charms.
wants to use the performance to combine the smart and useless feelings of the character in an interesting way, making people cry and laugh at the same time.
Facts have proved that Kim Soo-hyun has done it, whether it is rigorous and neat when working, or relaxed and funny when getting along with friends.
Whether it is being cautious when facing the heroine, or being vigilant and oppressive when facing a love rival, Kim Soo Hyun's interpretation is very good.
The most rare thing is that Kim Soo Hyun also showed very smart and vivid comedy acting skills in the play.
In the drunken scene, the scene when Kim Soo-hyun cried and asked why she wanted to become cute made people laugh.
After learning that the heroine is ill, the scene where she adjusts her facial expression in the mirror the next day also has a perfect comedy effect.
In the previous work "The Heirs", Kim Ji-won was loved for her role as Rachel, the second-generation rich lady.
Kim Ji-won plays the chaebol heroine again this time, and it can be said that she is very familiar with it. As soon as she appears, she looks like a chaebol, with exquisite makeup and aloof temperament.
As netizens commented, Kim Ji-won’s acting as a chaebol is as easy as breathing.
The heroine’s outfits are also decorated by various big-name brands. They are expensive and beautiful. At first glance, she looks like a real chaebol.
For example, the beautiful and romantic plot.
As a romantic drama, "The Queen of Tears" naturally has various romantic and heart-stirring plots. In the first episode of the
series, the main character and heroine were kissed 10 times in quick cuts, which made the audience off-screen eat a lot of shit. Many plots after
are also very dreamy and exciting.
After the male protagonist learns the identity of the third generation chaebol of the female protagonist, he runs back to his hometown in the countryside, and then the female protagonist chases his love in a helicopter.
In a large flower field, the heroine slowly descended from the plane, with flying petals and BGM, making the hero call out for the arrival of the goddess.
The scene where the male and female protagonists look at each other and hug each other in the flower field is so beautiful that it makes people couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths.
The female protagonist went to participate in an event. When she learned that other people had partners and she was alone and embarrassed, the male protagonist arrived in time.
told the heroine that in order to come to accompany you, I won the lawsuit quickly.
The love words spoken seriously by the male protagonist are really alluring in a subtle way.
The century wedding scene of the hero and heroine is gorgeous and romantic, showing a romantic and beautiful pastoral style.
The shooting location was actually the hotel where Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin had their wedding. Even the wedding decoration and the bride and groom’s positions were the same as Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin’s.
The most surprising thing is that this drama is not limited to the screenwriter's previous romantic drama model, but has a more profound theme.
uses the story of the male and female protagonists to bring out the emotional issues in today's society. We get married because of love, why do we stop falling in love after marriage?
This sentence has silenced countless men and women who have entered into marriage, and also inspired those who are in love.
At the same time, the play tells about the tragic current situation of the male protagonist after getting married, which is actually an irony of the plight of most women in marriage in reality.
The sons-in-law of the Queen Group, no matter what university they are from or what position they hold in the group.
As long as you marry into a wealthy family, you have to obey orders and prepare sacrificial supplies for the Queen Group family.
The male protagonist returned to his parents’ home and expressed that he wanted a divorce, but the whole family advised him to be patient. His sister even tried to persuade him by citing the situation in the village where divorced people are talked about by everyone.
The male protagonist, who got married for love but was neglected and deceived by his wife after marriage, cried out about what happened to him at the woman’s house, and even expressed the feelings of many married women.
I have to say that the plight of women in real marriages is strongly expressed using only gender switching. The screenwriter is really amazing.
However, the character of the male protagonist in the play caused controversy when he heard that the female protagonist was terminally ill and had only three months to live. The first reaction of the male protagonist
was not sadness, but happiness that he was about to regain his freedom, and he even slept until he woke up naturally.
This also made many viewers call the male protagonist's design collapsed and unable to accept such a male protagonist's design.
But from another perspective, for a person who has been suppressed by the other party for a long time and is on the verge of collapse, he may actually have such a reaction when he suddenly hears such news.
Generally speaking, the quality of "Queen of Tears" is online, and it can be regarded as a recent high-quality Korean drama.
After all, even for the looks of the two leading actors, this drama is worth watching. If you like it, you can go for it.
