Definitely worth watching, despite its predictable ending. While some viewers may have felt disappointed with the last three episodes, excluding the ending, I personally didn't find it rushed. However, there were numerous unnecessary cliché scenes that didn't quite fit well.

The story starts off realistic in the first half but becomes less so in the second, possibly to cater to audience expectations for melodrama over romantic comedy. Both characters are flawed, leading to plenty of misunderstandings and miscommunications.

The pacing of the series is generally good, though it does drag a bit in the middle and feels a tad rushed towards the end. The cast is exceptional, with Kim Soo Hyun showcasing his well-known acting skills and Kim Ji Won proving to be a hidden gem in terms of versatility.

The OSTs are also noteworthy, with 'Hold Me Back' by Heize being a standout track. The chemistry between the lead actors is undeniable, making it difficult to imagine them with anyone else.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Queen of Tears for those seeking an emotional rollercoaster of a drama, despite its flaws.
