Get ready to say goodbye to the classic “poor girl meets rich boy” trope! tvN’s new drama “Queen of Tears” is making waves for its refreshing take on romance, flipping the script completely.

Korean dramas are known for their swoon-worthy love stories, but tvN’s newest drama, “Queen of Tears,” is flipping the script in a hilarious way. This show throws out tired tropes and puts a fresh spin on romance by completely reversing the typical gender roles.

“Queen of Tears” isn’t your average Cinderella story. Here, Kim Ji-won plays the heir to a massive chaebol (conglomerate) called Queens Group, while Kim Soo-hyun takes on the role of a down-to-earth legal team manager from a small town.

Sparks fly when Kim Ji-won, hiding her true identity, falls for Kim Soo-hyun as a fellow intern at Queens Department Store. Their whirlwind romance even involves a helicopter ride (because why not?). However, the happily ever after takes a sharp turn when they rush into marriage.

Fast forward three years, and Kim Soo-hyun is the one feeling the pressure. Instead of the usual hardships faced by daughters-in-law in K-dramas, viewers are chuckling as they see Kim Soo-hyun navigate the challenges of being a son-in-law in a wealthy family.

Get ready for relatable moments like the sons-in-law of the Queens family grumbling in the kitchen while prepping for a memorial service. This scene, where the men question why they have to cook for the wife’s side of the family, has gone viral on social media, proving that even the most privileged can have domestic struggles.

The power dynamics are hilariously flipped as Kim Soo-hyun faces pressure to have a child – and even the baby’s name is chosen by his formidable father-in-law, played by veteran actor Kim Kap-soo.

This refreshing take on romance is resonating with audiences. The drama’s writer, Park Ji-eun, is already known for her hit drama “Crash Landing on You,” which also featured a strong female lead – a chaebol heiress who falls for a North Korean soldier.

This trend of powerful female characters seems to be catching on. International media outlets like the BBC are noticing the shift, with comments like “There’s no more ‘Candy’ in K-dramas,” referring to the traditionally submissive female roles of the past.

Actress Han Ji-min recently echoed this sentiment, pointing out the rise of “older women” and wealthy female characters in dramas. She attributes this to a welcome change where female characters are “more progressive and proactive.”

“Queen of Tears” is proving that laughter and heartwarming moments can blossom even when you upend tradition. So, if you’re looking for a K-drama that offers a hilarious twist on familiar tropes, be sure to check out this delightful show!
