JAKARTA - South Korea's leading film magazine, Cine21 recently shared a review of the Korean drama that aired in 2024. One of the dramas being reviewed was Queen of Tears, starring Kim Ji Won and Kim Soo Hyun.

This gives rise to a comparison with the drama The Clinic for Married Couples: Love and War. This drama was broadcast on KBS from 1999 to 2014 from season 1 to 2, where the story focuses on a couple's divorce due to family conflicts.

Another critic named Bok Gil criticized that the drama Queen of Tears still uses a pattern of a person's status still has full power.

"Classes and status still hold absolute power," he was quoted as saying on Tuesday, December 24, 2024.

Critic Park Hyun Joo said that the drama Queen of Tears also has a bad storyline and has no meaningful social issues, so its popularity is considered excessive. Criticism was also given by critic Jin Myung Hyun, who said the funny situation in the drama was something that had deteriorated significantly.

Meanwhile, criticism of the drama Queen of Tears has also been given by TIME magazine. This magazine mentions that some of the drama stories are in the form of chaos.

In the first part of the drama, TIME said Queen of Tears performed well by showing creativity in the K-Romance genre. However, in the second part it turns into chaos, recycling the clich flow of other dramas, and plus the final part of the drama that is considered less excited and unreasonable developments.
