Reasons to watch: One of the biggest buzz dramas of the year is finally here! Hitting our weekend slot this week is Queen of Tears — the latest drama from writer Park Ji-eun of Crash Landing on You and You From Another Star fame, and starring — ICYMI — Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won. The story takes us to new territory in dramaland as we visit a married couple of commoner + chaebol heiress after their happily ever after. And I don’t know about you, but it’s a welcome departure from the usual setup. Fingers crossed on it being as charming as it should be. Also starring are Kwak Dong-yeon, Park Sung-hoon, and Lee Joo-bin, in addition to an impressive ensemble supporting cast of family members and coworkers. As for the talent behind the camera, we have talented PDs Jang Young-woo and Kim Hee-won here. I don’t want to jinx it, but can you hear the K-drama history being made?
TL;DR: The Kim Soo-hyun x Kim Ji-won rom-com is finally herrrrrreeeeee
