Queen of Tears Episodes 5 and 6 Review
Queen of Tears episodes 5 and 6 are more emotionally loaded than the previous episodes. While episodes 1–4 were more comical and light-hearted, the latest releases have melancholic and mysterious vibes. The real sides of the villains are slowly coming out and they have started making their moves against the Queens Group. Viewers will eagerly await the next few episodes, as episode 6 ended on a high-intensity note. How will Hae In react? Will things be better between the married couple whose relationship is already in turmoil? Many more such questions will only be answered in the following releases:. The drama builds up the tension well.
The seriousness of Hai In's situation is also explored in these episodes. While Hyun Woo was unbothered by this wife's impending death as he wished to part ways with her anyway, episodes 5 and 6 were different. We get to look at how the two actually care deeply for each other. There were heartbreaking scenes when the couple discusses her funeral and how she actually hopes to live but that doesn't seem likely.
The episodes run for approximately 80–85 minutes. Since the runtime is long, few of the scenes are stretched. Hyun Woo can be seen deep in thoughts while music plays in the background; such scenes are essential but they go on for far too long. Regardless, Queen of Tears episodes 5 and 6 are an entertaining watch.
