Plot
She, a wealthy woman from a family that owns one of the largest business enterprises in Korea (called Queens); he, just an employee. They got married out of love and now live a life of luxury.

How will they solve it? Neither of them is comfortable, but due to circumstances, one of them goes through something that will change everything.
About the series
“Queen of Tears” is a television series that mixes many characters revolving around the complicated lives of these two people who, lost in the corporate system, have grown apart. It is well-made and well-written, but it is treated as a traditional TV series and aimed at a very traditional audience. There is not much complexity in the characters, who revolve around business relationships while their marriage crumbles and their families do not do much to fix it.
Meanwhile, the supporting characters live their stories around a large corporate firm, with more or less sentimental stories that also have a touch of comedy. Netflix has only aired one episode so far, but the series makes its intentions very clear: it is a series for viewers who enjoy heartwarming and emotional stories. While there is a hint of comedy, the sentimental aspect prevails above all else.
The production is well done, with good costumes and various locations. This series has a budget from TVN, a highly successful South Korean television channel, and is now available on Netflix for the rest of the world.
It is a very TV-like series for those viewers who do not want to complicate their lives with aesthetic proposals or forced scripts in a story that focuses more on emotions than the script. The two actors, who are both big stars, perform perfectly in their roles, which don’t require much from an acting standpoint.
Enjoy it!
