'God When?' Moments in Queen of Tears

If there are any Nigerian slangs I love so much then they are ‘God when?’ ‘God abeg’ and ‘God, am I a spoon?’ and I think the last one will top the list for me because some scenes in ‘Queen of Tears’ really made me feel like a spoon and I am sure that I am not the only one in these shoes.

However, if you don’t understand what I mean and are curious to know, I will tell you.

So apparently, before we got served a rollercoaster of emotional damage in the last 5 to 6 episodes of the series, there were some scenes and dialogues that made it look like we needed to work harder on some aspects of our lives (In the Nigerian interpretation ‘We are not serious with our lives’).

It might seem like I am over-exaggerating but wait till I get into the points.

Spoiler Alert!!!

So the first ‘God when?’ moment for me was when Hong Hae In went to the village to support her father-in-law so he could win the village election. Although he later lost the position because of some mistakes, did someone see what happened when she walked into the hall? I mean, how could the presence of just one person change the mind of the whole village in less than a minute? And for me, in my family meetings, I hardly have money, not to speak of an opinion that counts. (Sighs in ‘I need to make money’)

Now let’s talk about when I felt like a spoon. Let me start with Aunt Beom Ja.

Does that aunt think Korea to Germany is like a five-minute walk or what? Why was Hong Hae-in going to Germany and Aunt Beom Ja said something like “Let me go with you, All I need to pick is my passport,” People!!! I just finished upturning my room and there’s no passport and that’s the first. Also, remind me how long it takes to make traveling (Japa) plans in Nigeria. (Omo! I’ve been robbed).

As if that was not enough, Baek Hyun Woo peppered me by rushing to Germany because he could no longer control his emotions as if they were using water to buy a flight ticket. (wait, what gave me the assurance that he didn’t even use a private jet?) These people are taunting me and they don’t even know.

Should I even talk about when Hong Soo Cheol lost a whopping Eight billion Won because Da-Hye's so-called brother made a mistake and mummy Baek went

“Is all this just because of Eight Billion Won?”

*Bombastic side eye*

Woman!!! Do you even realize how much we are talking about here? I dare not misplace the highest Nigerian currency right now because if I do, my tear gland will suffer for it, but there you are supporting a child who lost billions.

Although there were so many financial ‘God When?’ moments, let’s move a little to the romance part.

I feel they should have displayed a disclaimer at the start of each episode that the series is not for ‘Single Pringles,’ I mean people who are single to stupor like me. Of course, I have so many Oppas I am crushing on but are they not obvious delulu?

Then why was the HongBaek couple seizing every opportunity to have a PDA?

I mean, even though the series was full of tragic events, the romantic scenes were giving what it was supposed to give (Jealousy of course). On Baek’s part, he was always coming to her rescue like a knight in shining armor and what broke the height for me with Hong Hae-in was when she stood to defend him at the press conference.

Well, my mum defends me too. Defense is defense, I will use that fact to comfort myself (read again in Nigerian pidgin)

I know this is more of ranting, but what have you learned so far?

You still don’t know? Make money and find love!!!

Don’t say I didn’t tell you.
