So, as fans process the ending of Queen of Tears, here are a few more rom-com dramas written by the same screenwriter that they can consider watching.
Crash Landing on You
One of Park Ji-Eun’s best works includes the hit series Crash Landing on You. Starring Hyun Bin and Son Ye-Jin as the leads, the plot revolves around two lovers from different countries. While Ri Jyung-Hyuk is a North Korean army officer, Yoon Se-Ri is a thriving South Korean businesswoman.

The Legend of the Blue Sea
The Legend of the Blue Sea is another hit series penned by Park Ji-Eun. The fantasy romantic K-drama stars Jun Ji-Hyun and Lee Min-Ho. The former plays Shim Chung, a mermaid, while Lee Min-Ho portrays a conman’s role as Heo Joon-Jae. Their romance is chaotic but super fun to watch.
