Queen of Tears Ep 3-4 Review

The latest episodes of Queen of Tears are as entertaining as the premiere episodes. While the romance was teased in the first two episodes, their love and dynamic are explored more in these latest episodes. The romance between the two main characters slowly progressed. Fans would enjoy the route the new episodes take as it has a mix of everything one would expect from a K-drama; from cute jealousy, family drama, conspiracies and more. 

The adorable chemistry of the actors will keep the viewers hooked till the end. Park Ji Eun is known for writing romance dramas and in this project also the scenes with Kim Ji Won and Kim Soo Hyun shine. Kim Ji Won as the cold Hae In and Kim Soo Hyun as the relatable Hyun Woo slowly start coming closer which makes for an entertaining watch. Both the actors do an amazing job of making these characters believeable and bringing them to life. The romantic moments also mix comedy as Hyun Woo becomes jealous and more caring. It will be a test for the couple as even though Hyun Woo is acting to care for his wife, he slowly strarts catching feelings and finds her cute once more. In hindsight, Hae In's story is the saddest. She is ill, her mother is not fond of her, she needs to manage the company and has to act strong through it all. But the saddest of all is that her own husband doesn't want to be with her. Though he is becoming as caring as he used to be, things between the two will go down when Hae In realizes that Hyun Woo was planning for a divorce before he knew that she was dying.
