“Queen Of Tears” ending review
A full review of the series is coming out tomorrow on the blog, but honestly, what was that 15th episode? and also, why is the 16th episode so long? it’s a full-length movie.
The screenwriter just added unnecessary side steps to what could have been a good ending, I really wanted to see Eun Sung and his mother suffer more for their actions, ep 15 should have been dedicated to this while ep 16 should have been fan-service cute content showing how happy the family and the couples are.
Also, the payout for Seul-Hee wasn’t enough, she should’ve suffered more, it almost seemed they didn’t even have her as* at one point during the trial.
But the ending is fine and I think for most who watched the series, it was a good ending. That last scene of an old Hyun woo was a tearjerker.
Overall, I’d say it’s a fine drama, I enjoyed the performances a lot, Ji Won and Soo Hyun chemistry will go down in history as the best EVER.
