Romantic-Comedy Series With A ‘Tragic’ Story
Queen of Tears is a Korean drama from tvN that carries the romantic-comedy genre. Slightly different from the genre mentioned, Queen of Tears actually makes viewers shed tears with the main character’s ‘tragic’ love story.
It is said that Hong Hae In (Kim Ji Won), a woman from a conglomerate family, is married to a man from a simple family named Baek Hyun Woo (Kim Soo Hyun).
Initially, their marriage went smoothly like any other couple. However, after three years of marriage, the two people became estranged, even seeming like strangers.
At that time, Baek Hyun Woo, who felt ‘pressured’ by the life of a conglomerate family, wanted to file for divorce from his wife. At the same time, Hong Hae In revealed that he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and could only survive three months.
This moment made Hong Hae In and Baek Hyun Woo face another ‘crisis’ in their household, but on the other hand, they tried to be more open to each other’s feelings.
Beautiful Cinematography Set In Germany
In some episodes of Queen of Tears, viewers will be spoiled with beautiful and mesmerizing cinematography. Not only located in South Korea, this Korean drama also filmed in Germany.
Some of Hong Hae In and Baek Hyun Woo’s honeymoon scenes were done in Germany, even when they returned to the country to check Hong Hae In’s health, the two had the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of Germany together again.
Same Wedding Location As Korean Couple Hyun Bin-Son Ye Jin
Another Queen of Tears filming location that became a wedding was during the wedding scene of Hong Hae In and Baek Hyun Woo. It was revealed that the location is the same location as the wedding of Korean artist couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin.
The Korean artist couple got married in March 2022 at the Aston House at the Grand Walkerhill Hotel in Gwangjang-dong, Seoul, which is famous for its luxurious outdoor wedding locations.
A ‘Clever’ Villain Character
Well, Korean dramas are incomplete if not attended by villains or antagonistic characters. Just like Queen of Tears, some of the villain characters in this K-Drama are fairly ‘clever’ and able to stir the emotions of viewers!
Given that Hong Hae In comes from a conglomerate family, many people are eyeing the wealth and power of the Hong family. Especially, the power of Hong Hae In’s grandfather who is the leader of the family company ‘Queens Group’.
Two ‘villains’ who successfully became the spotlight in Queen of Tears are the mother and daughter duo, Moh Seul Hee (Lee Mi Sook) and Yoon Eun Sung (Park Sung Hoon). They plan to bring down the Hong family and take over all power.
