So watching the Queen of Tears is like reading a brilliantly paced novel where the story is good but the way it’s being told is even better. Episode 4 stormed the rating barricades delivering 12.985% which is astonishing in the speed of this drama’s hook, line, and sinker. The last big K-drama hit Reborn Rich got to over 11% in episode 4 for comparison. We learn that the newlywedded Hyun Woo and Hae In were indeed happy and got even happier learning of her pregnancy, but clearly the baby didn’t arrive and Hyun Woo’s spare room sleeping quarters was intended to be the nursery. I felt since episode 2 that Hyun Woo claiming he fell for Hae In and pursued her was only what he knew, but my gut told me Hae In actually set it all up so he could pursue her and she actually liked him first. Today’s reveal of their high school one time encounter confirmed it for me and we’re going to see Hae In’s point of view on their romance start down the line. Hae In’s illness while played for black comedy laughs in Hyun Woo’s divorce predicament pivots on a time to be utterly heartbreaking, to the viewers and to Hyun Woo. When he thinks of the misery of being in the marriage if Hae In has a cure, it’s never about her but about her stifling family and his boxed in circumstances. Grandpa’s Camilla is clearly in cahoots with sociopath Eun Sung who is quite scary to watch him plot the downfall of Queen’s Group. Argh, I can’t believe I have another week wait now!
