Queen of Tears release schedule: When new episodes of the Korean romantic series drop

Have you checked out the new Korean drama Queen of Tears? Its first two episodes dropped on Netflix on March 9 and March 10, and viewers have already begun to fall in love with the two main leads. Luckily, there are still many more episodes to be released, and we're here to share the official release schedule so you don't miss any new episodes.

Queen of Tears is a romantic comedy series helmed by Sweet Home director Jang Young-woo and Vincenzo director Kim Hee-won. The scripts were written by Crash Landing on You writer Park Ji-eun. In addition, CJ ENM developed the Korean series.

The prince of supermarkets Baek Hyun-woo and the queen of department stores Hong Hae-in were once a power couple until they hit a rough patch in their marriage after only three years. The love they initially shared seems to have dwindled, and now they're on the verge of divorce. But when a near tragedy strikes, a romantic rekindling occurs, and they try their best to stay together against all odds.

Kim Soo-hyun, who's best known for starring in Netflix's It's Okay to Not Be Okay, portrays the role of Baek Hyun-woo. Additionally, Descendants of the Sun actress Kim Ji-won stars as Hong Hae-in. Joining them in the cast are fellow South Korean actors such as Park Sung-hoon, Kwak Dong-yeon, and Lee Ju-bin.
