QUEEN OF HOUSEWIVES RETURNS AS QUEEN OF TEARS

Nearly two years after enjoying a popular run on MBC, Queen of Housewives will be coming back to television for its promised sequel, and the second season will broadcast with the title Queen of Tears. According to a source with the production team, it will share a similar theme with Queen of Housewives in its portrayal of a housewife overcoming adversity and standing on her own.
Kim Nam-joo, who starred in the original series as the housewife determined to get her husband back on his feet no matter what, has made an unofficial agreement to return for the sequel. The drama will retain its director and writer, Go Dong-sun and Park Ji-eun. As yet, none of the other main cast members have decided to reprise their roles (although with the main character returning, it would make sense for some others to join her).
Queen of Tears will follow the currently running Monday-Tuesday sageuk Dong Yi for a September premiere.
In my opinion, the title change gives the sequel a very different vibe than the comedy-filled original, perhaps unintentionally. I don’t know if they’d get Oh Ji-ho back playing Kim’s husband — it looks like he’s cultivating bigger interests after starring in Chuno — but I don’t think fans would care about that if they managed to get Yoon Sang-hyun to return (who I think really ought to jump at the chance). Yoon Sang-hyun was the undisputed scene-stealer of the original and I know many were clamoring for him to end up with Kim Nam-joo, which was hampered by the whole she-has-a-husband-and-a-child issue, which may work better in sequel format. But I’m just speculating!

So hate to know that in this drama, TJ was attracted to JA, bcs her look is not attractive at all. Houff…but still, that was the story going. But, I still love the way YSH acts in this drama, tough.
The reason why I kept watching QoH was just to see YSH. He acted so natural, and he brought both charisma & joy to his character, soo comical, adorable.
Well, for me He’s the MOST OUTSTANDING Korean Actor everrrr!
