Queen of Tears and Lovely Runner are some of the highest rated dramas this year. My best friend and I watched both of them and we think they are good shows, but we had our differences. According to her, lovely runner is a good drama, but queen of tears is much better. While I think the acting in both movies is unique but lovely runner just won me over with the plot, the chemistry between the main and original soundtracks, although the qot soundtracks are also very good. So now I ask you the question: Which did you like more Queen of tears or Lovely runner?
To me, there's no comparison between QoT and Lovely Runner. QoT was such a disappointment (since I'd been looking forward to it since it announced and was so excited for it). Lovely Runner was a huge surprise (since I only started watching as I waited for another show to release) and has now become my favorite drama of all time.
Three episodes in, I found myself fast forwarding through most of QoT, which made me sad because I do love the FL and ML actors so much. Even if I FF through a show, I'll usually still watch to the end episode if the main leads' story is captivating. But even their scenes were underwhelming. I only made it to ep 6 with QoT before I gave up. I did ask in the comments there if the show improves after ep 6 and everyone said that it got a little worse after ep 7, so to stop if I didn't like to that point. :-\
Meanwhile, I've rewatched Lovely Runner at least 10 times already and the worst thing I can say about it is that the sister-in-law / brother's story was irritating sometimes. But I didn't even fast forward those scenes. I watched every minute of this drama (both when I first saw it and during every re-watch). This is so rare for me, usually I'm fast forwarding 10 - 30% of a show / filler. Lovely Runner was so engrossing and captivating. The story, the chemistry, characters, direction, everything.
Comparing QoT and Lovely Runner is like comparing a peach that looks good from the outside, but when you bite into it, it's tasteless --verses-- a run-of-the-mill looking apple fresh from the tree that ends up being surprisingly delicious and refreshing.
Definitely, Lovely Runner. So good!
Queen of Tears was too dark, angsty and over the top for me. Also, rich people... uggh.
I would've quit it early on but was watching with a group; so I stuck it out. They LOVED it.
It may depend on whether you like your dramas dark or sweet...
I think you will always get Lovely Runner on this page ?. Comparing the two might be a little unfair coz I think QoT has always been meant to be a makjang like melodrama despite having some comedic moments. LR on the other hand, despite having a tinge of sadness and suspense, is a romcom through and through. But since we're here, I would still say that LR is the better one. The irony is that QoT has no fantasy element but I had to suspend my disbelief for it more times than I did with LR, a time travel drama. The last 4 episodes of QoT was hard to watch if not for the chemistry of the Kims while I stayed happy with LR until its last seconds.
Queen of tears. i was watching ongoing. It was hard to wait. But after final episode i couldn't move on from it for a week after completing it.. But lovely runner is also special. It was giving me butterflies in every episode. Completed it in 1 day.. Then started another one right after.
Lovely Runner all the way. QoT was a great drama - cast, acting, plot, OST - everything. but LR just touched my heart in a way QoT (or most other shows, for that matter) couldn't. it has the most perfect cast, great acting, THE OST IS INCREDIBLE, i love the plotline and production, and most importantly - it was so well executed. easily in my top 3 dramas.
so what will I choose???
if I love drama with "family relationships" tags, husband-wife problems, makjang I will choose QOT!
if I love school-setting with a time travel plot, a youth love story, I will choose LR
I only watched Queen of Tears because of the hype and honestly it was just what I expected it to be lol typical kdrama but I do have to say the actors and cinematography are top notch so it was good to watch but I did skip through a lot of episodes. But LR had me on the edge of my seat squealing, crying and laughing. It was soooo good, I don't think there would ever be a drama as good as this one
I was born into that empire in a British colony and was brought up in its traditions and with the expectation that it would last forever. When the queen ascended to the throne in 1952, it was seen in the colonies as a new beginning; that somehow Britain would rise again; that there would be another grand Elizabethan period like the one that began in 1533.
That wind blew steadily until the British Empire was indeed liquidated and had been replaced by the loose, fraternal Commonwealth. The empire had dribbled away. The Union flag came down, and new flags went up from Burma to Malawi.
I believe when we have these occasions to weep, we weep for ourselves, for all of our hurts and failures, and for all the pain of the world. When FDR died, when Churchill died, when John Lennon was shot, when Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in a car crash, and when Nelson Mandela died, the world wept then as now.
When you can hug a stranger and shed a tear, one is connected to all of humanity in a way that transcends class and race, religion, and wealth and poverty. Briefly, we are one, seemingly in grief for a remarkable monarch, but also in grief for ourselves.
The world has had a good cry, thanks to an august queen, who died at 96 after presiding over a dwindling empire and a surging affection, over a very human and often dysfunctional family, and who smiled through, carrying her nation and the world with her.
Her new show is a 16-episode romantic drama with two polar opposite leads (a mega-rich conglomerate nepo baby and her more humble lawyer husband) that remind me of the lovers who came from two completely different worlds in Crash Landing on You. If anything could live up to my earlier favorite, surely one by the writer of Crash Landing on You has a good shot at doing so, right?
As for what Queen of Tears is all about, Kim Soo-hyun plays a humble yet sharp lawyer who hails from a small village. Hong Hae-in, on the other hand, is a high-powered executive who lives like a queen, which makes sense because her family is one of the richest in South Korea and owns the Queens Group conglomerate.blogherads.adq.push(function () blogherads.defineSlot( 'medrec', 'gpt-dsk-ros-mid-articleX-uid8' ).setTargeting( 'pos', ["standarddisplay","mid-articleX","mid-article"] ).setTargeting( 'viewable', 'yes' ).setSubAdUnitPath("ros\/mid-articleX").addSize([[300,250]]).setLazyLoadMultiplier(2););
