After only 4 episodes, the viewership rate increased dramatically, reaching 13%. The attraction of the film comes from the interesting and humorous "chemistry" of Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won.
According to Soompi, many viewers searched for information about the two actors, thereby finding photos from their student days of the handsome Korean couple.
Kim Ji Won studied theater at Dongguk University. Since her student days, she has had pure natural beauty and delicate features.
Many people commented, "Ji Won doesn't age at all. Her face is still the same as when she was a student", "Can a high school student have beauty like this", "Kim Ji Won has never been ugly"...
According to SCMP, before entering the screen, Kim Ji Won was famous for acting in commercials. At the age of 19, the actress caused a fever because she was so beautiful when advertising for a soda brand.
Meanwhile, Kim Soo Hyun is also an actor who is considered by the public to be "handsome since childhood". The actor's student photos made many people admire.
Kim Soo Hyun's high school teacher shared, “I was really surprised when I heard Kim Soo Hyun was an actor. Because this doesn't sound like his quiet personality when he was a high school student."
“Queen of Tears” is a project marking the return of Kim Soo Hyun after “One Ordinary Day”. His role in "One Ordinary Day" once brought Kim Soo Hyun to the throne of the highest-paid television actors in Korea.
For Kim Ji Won, the role of a tycoon lady is not difficult for her because 10 years ago, she took on the role of Yoo Rachel in the movie "The Heirs". This character is a rich, arrogant lady with an unpleasant personality.
In “Queen of Tears”, Kim Soo Hyun plays Baek Hyun Woo, legal director of Queens Group. Meanwhile, Kim Ji Won plays his wife - Hong Hae In - the famous third generation heiress of the tycoon family, nicknamed the "queen" of the Queens Group department store.
