In the realm of South Korean television dramas, sometimes on-screen chemistry leads to real-life romance. Fans are hopeful that this will be the case with tvN’s latest weekend drama, “Queen of Tears.” Starring Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won, the series is anticipated to birth a new beloved couple akin to the adored pairing of Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. It’s been noted that the romantic saga of Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin from “Crash Landing on You” blossomed off-screen, culminating in a real-life romance.
“Queen of Tears” presents viewers with an enticing narrative revolving around Hong Hae In (portrayed by Kim Ji Won), the third-generation heiress of Queens Group, and Baek Hyun Woo (played by Kim Soo Hyun), a humble supermarket prince. Their tumultuous marital journey has captured the hearts of audiences both in South Korea and internationally.
The series marks Kim Soo Hyun’s return to the small screen after a prolonged absence, and it also serves as Kim Ji Won’s first role since the popular drama “My Liberation Notes” aired in 2022, making it a hot topic even before its premiere. The chemistry between Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won is the pivotal element contributing to the show’s success, subverting the conventional Cinderella motif with reversed roles, injecting a fresh perspective into a familiar tale.
