Overhyped undercooked K-drama meal at its peak!

Before starting Queen of Tears:
"OMG I'M SO EXCITED" ٩(ᵔ0ᵔ)۶

Ep 1-8: OOOHHH, I'm enjoying!!! (ʃƪ˘з˘)

Ep 9-12: hmmm, ok...umm ( ˙-˙ )

Ep 13-16: EH? WHAT? WTH? (╯°Д°)╯︵ ┸┸

☑️Likes:
✓Leads bickering and them being mean to eachother occasionally

✓THE AUNT!

❎Dislikes:

Everything else other than likes. Starting with -
X FL's mean character and they dragged her sickness too long
X ML being a pushover
X The pacing of the story, it got damn boring at the end of the story, that I had to use +30sec and 2x speed button back to back.
X Slow sloth moments with all ballad OSTs had me yawn in every single episode.
X DAMN PEOPLE CAN CRY, I wouldn't know if I didn't watch this. They cried in almost every episode. Drunk crying, happy crying, cute crying, sad⁹⁹ crying, angry crying and so on.
(I shouldn't have picked this one to watch considering the title being filled with tears -_-)
X And WhyTF did that old selfish geezer escaped from this misery?! He's the root cause of this mishap, now when he saw he is in deep mud, run away without explaining, leaving his offsprings in pain. Strange!!!

If this drama was one of my first dramas, I would have loved it and rated it close to 10. But after watching hundreds of dramas I have outgrown this genre and developed a taste of my own where bleak plots like this completely failed to entertain me. They had big budget, star artists, pretty faces, crystal clear cinematography but lacked to grip attention of the audience with less intriguing plot.

This is an one time watch only. You watch, you finish, you forget and move on in life. But why did I watch? Because my completionist brain said "you've come so far to drop it now, deal with it". >⁠.⁠<

My Rating: 5/10 ʕ–_–ʔ
If I have to explain the drama in one word that would be, "BORING".
