Both dramas have the same male lead i.e., Kim Soo Hyun (acting as the leading cast). In both the drama he comes from a middle-class family

NO SPOILER ? [ WAIT FOR THE TWIST ?]
NO NEED TO SAY THANKS AFTER WATCHING QUEEN OF TEARS ?

This is an exciting and humorous love story of a married couple who got divorced and the things they went through until they became a couple again.

Just look at the cover pictures. They are so similar you can actually feel the relation. A moment to Remember also features a rich FL suffering from Memory loss. Its great and painful at the same time to watch. Give it a try. You won't regret watching this Classic.

The same dying in three months trope.
The one who is dying has family issues
The one who is dying is rich and the other is poor

Baek Sa Eon comes from a prestigious political family, and he became the youngest presidential spokesman in Korea. His background also includes time spent as a war correspondent, hostage negotiator, and main anchorman. He married Hong Hui Ju 3 years ago. She is the daughter of a newspaper proprietor. She has mutism due to an accident she had when she was little. She works as a sign language interpreter in court and on television.

Sa Eon and Hui Ju got married largely due to convenience. For the past 3 years, they haven't communicated with each other or have meals together. They pretend they are a happily married couple. One day, Hui Ju is kidnapped by an unidentified person. This changes their marriage life.

A marriage gone cold, with both sides slowly finding love again. Both have rich FL and poor ML. Both contain romantic comedy elements.

Kim Ji Won portrays a rich chaebol heiress who is strong headed and cold in both dramas. Her characters have a cold exterior but are deeply misunderstood by those around her, including her family who put pressure on her to stay in the confines of the business conglomerate world. They may come across as mean and heartless, but it is because of the environment that she has been brought up in that has caused her to be that way. They both fall for men who are certified soft boys (Kang Ha Neul in 'The Heirs' and Kim Soo Hyun in 'Queen of Tears'. Many would say that Hong Hae In is Yoo Rachel in another dimension.

The tone of both dramas is quite similar.

- difference in status in the CL
- complicated family of one of the leads
- FL with incurable cancer
- ML confront the illness and possible death of your loved one

=> 2 beautiful and moving series, which we never tire of!

The FL lead are coming from chaebol family
Them FL lead both huntimg at the hunting forest ground
Potrayed as smart FL
The male poor boy being in love with the FL lead
It give the same vibe with the rich setting

If you love office romance then this is for you.

Though they both have quite different story they really give you similar emotions throughout the drama.

- Both work is the same office
- Strong and Independent female lead
- They stand strong together
- The female lead of QOT and male lead of ABAY have higher post and they both have their family problems
- they both have a really BEAUTIFUL ending.


okay lemme just tell the differences as well: QOT has a main villain, It has more political stuff than ABAY, but it definitely carries stronger emotions and deeper relations. Also unlike ABAY QOT WILL MAKE YOU SHED LITERS OF TEARS.

the stars in the ceiling just remind me of them, the protagonist having an illness, both female protagonist have mommy issues and their illness is not taking seriously and/bc of their brother that the mom protects, their family in both cases dont know that the female lead is sick.

Chaebol,conglomerate with poor partner relationship
The gender are reverse
In QoT female are rich one, while KoL male one is the rich
Romzcom and fun as well!
Hope to see junho x jiwon next
Also yoona and kim soo hyun maybe ?

A romantic film about a man struggling with a painful past as he tries to move forward, only to discover that the woman in his present life has an uncanny connection to his past. Together, they navigate the complexities of love, heartbreak, and healing, all against the backdrop of cultural and identity differences in the foreign city.

HITTG is very much better but Queen of tears covers similar territory: class politics (in a silly and terrible way), family structures, patriarchy..Both centred around rich upper class families struggling to maintain power in the face of numerous crises and their own ineptitude. But in HITTG, the revolution is desired and welcomed
