Production

Development

Screenwriter Park Ji-eun started preparing her new project entitled Queen of Tears about two years after finishing Crash Landing on You (2019–2020), which starred Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin. Lee Eung-bok, who has directed hit dramas such as Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016–2017), Descendants of the Sun (2016), Mr. Sunshine (2018), and Sweet Home (2020–present), was reportedly in talks to join the team at that time.[30]

Studio Dragon confirmed that the production of Queen of Tears would start in the first half of 2023, and the series was expected to be released in the second half of 2023. It is co-directed by Jang Young-woo [ko], who worked on Crash Landing on You (2019–2020) and Bulgasal: Immortal Souls (2021–2022), and Kim Hee-won, who worked on Vincenzo (2021) and Little Women (2022).[31] Aside from Studio Dragon, the series is also co-produced by Culture Depot and Showrunners.[32]

The first script reading was conducted on March 30, 2023, near Sangam-dong, Mapo District, Seoul.[33]

Initially estimated at over ₩40 billion (US$34.97 million),[34] the total budget of the series was ₩56 billion (US$48.95 million), costing ₩3.5 billion (US$3.06 million) per episode.[35]

Casting

In April 2022, Park Ji-eun proposed the female lead role in her new project to Lee Ji-eun, but the offer was declined.[30] Kim Soo-hyun received a proposal for the male lead role the next day.[36]

The appearances of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won were officially confirmed in December 2022.[37][38][39] This is the third collaboration between Park and Kim Soo-hyun, after My Love from the Star (2013–2014) and The Producers (2015).[40]

Park Sung-hoon, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Lee Joo-bin were cast in February and April 2023, respectively.[41][42][43]

Filming

Principal photography took place between April and December 2023,[44][45] across various cities in South Korea and Germany.[46][47]

Release

Queen of Tears was originally part of tvN's 2023 drama lineup and was scheduled for broadcast in December 2023 however due to the changes in the networks' Saturday–Sunday lineup, it was moved to the first half of 2024.[60][61][32] According to a Metro Seoul article, the series was rescheduled to air in March 2024;[62] this piece of news was confirmed when tvN released its 2024 drama lineup.[63][64] It was later confirmed that the premiere date would be on March 9, 2024, at 21:20 (KST) and that the series would also be available for streaming on TVING and Netflix.[65]

Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 6 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.2/10.[66]

Forbes wrote that "many K-dramas end with 'happily ever after', but Queen of Tears starts that way", adding that the series "not only has a solid cast, but boasts a talented screenwriter and two directors with a track record of drama success".[67] Tanu I. Raj of NME gave the series 3 out of 5 stars and described it as "a whirlwind office romance", which is "buoyant and decidedly comic".[68] Geoffrey Bunting of Time described the first six episodes of the series as a "bucks convention, sending up familiar tropes of the genre for a truly unexpected viewing experience".[69] Pierce Conran of South China Morning Post gave a score of 3/5, and wrote that "through 16 episodes threaded between tales of family woes, illness and corporate intrigue" and "Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in captured each other's hearts, as well as those of the audience at home".[70] Joly Herman of Common Sense Media wrote that "courtesan restraint is definitely not on display in this production, which features dynasty infighting in a current setting with hints of past Korean dramas".[71] Kate Sánchez of But Why Tho? gave a score of 9/10, and stated that "sometimes unwieldy but always entertaining" and "already leading the pack for best drama of the year".[72]
