Now that it only has 2 episodes left I'll start watching it.

I don't have the patience in waiting for things weekly, so let's hope I don't watch it that quick and end up stuck waiting a week for the last ep like the rest of you. 🤣

CLOY was my very first kdrama, and Goblin the second, so I love them both.

Smart move tbh, I didn't realize how new it was when I started watching it and hate the weekly wait for new eps

This show is the one that I broke the rule for. Everything else I will just wait since I don't have the patience otherwise.

It's been YEARS since we got a blockbuster drama with that proper old-school Hallyu feel - not since Crash Landing on You in fact, note I'm NOT saying we didn't get any good dramas, just not ones that felt like the classics, I mean I loved Vincenzo but it's not the same and the Netflix originals feel a bit too slick - and often too violent - for my tastes.

I might have screamed in frustration at the end of episode 14 BUT Kim Soohyun and Kim Jiwon have been firing on all cylinders since episode 1 (their chemistry is 11/10 too) and as a fan of hers I really want Queen of Tears to be a smash, she deserved Hallyu queen status ten years ago but I will settle for her getting it now.

that was her original breakout! but I like QoT more (Kim Soohyun actually did a homage to one of her viral scenes from this drama in episode 1 lol)

Been a fan since her High Kick days and she's such a chameleon, I can hardly believe it's the same actress playing Haein in QoT and Aera here. Especially impressive because her face naturally lends itself to that aristocratic/rich-girl aura - which is part of why she's so perfect in QoT, can't believe they offered that role to IU first - but she's played so many girl next door types and done those flawlessly too.

I am watching the final episode of Goblin. Very overhyped. The main romance and their story are awful.
Watched till the end only for the Grim Reaper.

The Bromance and the soundtrack are outstanding.

I lived for the bromances. Agree about the soundtrack too. I also liked the side stories with the ghosts. There was a lot of substance with the drama so I liked that aspect.

Story-wise, QOT is nothing special and I don't think it can compare to Goblin. I didn't watch CLOY, so I can't speak on that. No hate for QOT. The actors are phenomenal and popular, so I get the hype but that aside, the story is eh. I watched the first few episodes and am not sure if I'm going to continue. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for a heavy drama, IDK.

Instead, I'm watching Lovely Runner. It's so cute, and I love the fantasy aspect of it along with trying to figure WTH is happening or going to happen.

In case you did not know, there is a lot free on Viki.com. Their subtitles are the best because they are done by volunteers who translate to keep true to the culture.

Viki subtitles >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>, in fact fansubs in general >>>>>>>>>>>>>

Netflix subtitles are so shit and actively wrong/fake sometimes. Like in QoT ep 2 there's a line where the line (in Korean) is "let's just say we had a good relationship" (as in, not necessarily a romantic relationship) but the English subtitle translates it as "let's just say we broke up on good terms" - this is so wrong because in one stroke the subtitle writer made them exes and created a relationship that doesn't exist in the drama? This is so wrong.

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo!!! It's one of the best and sweetest young adult kdramas ever, totally recommended. It's great because it avoids a lot of tropes and actually makes fun of them.

Another one that's on Viki is Because this is my first life. That one's great to watch when you're 30 or in your early 30s.
