Mar 04, 2024

tvN’s “Queen of Tears” has unveiled new stills of Kim Ji Won!

Penned by “Crash Landing on You,” “My Love From the Star,” and “The Producers” writer Park Ji Eun, “Queen of Tears” tells the miraculous, thrilling, and humorous love story of a married couple who manage to survive a crisis and stay together against all odds.

Kim Soo Hyun stars as Baek Hyeon Woo, the legal director of the conglomerate Queens Group, while Kim Ji Won plays his wife Hong Hae In, the chaebol heiress known as the “queen” of Queens Group’s department stores.

On her reason for choosing to star in the project, Kim Ji Won shared, “I wanted to act out the life of Hong Hae In, who appears cold but is lovable, looks strong but is delicate, and is not simple. I got the thought that I could take on a new challenge through a role with a different vibe from the previous project.” She added, “I hope to hear, ‘Her role this time suits her really well.'”

Kim Ji Won shared, “On first impression, Hong Hae In is a cold and straightforward figure who appears to have lived a life without lacking anything. Hae In is used to running forward while only looking straight ahead, and she is a figure who is unfamiliar with restoring relationships while taking care of her wounds, so Hae In’s wounds and loneliness touched me greatly, and I felt that it was unfortunate in some way.”

Regarding her character’s style, Kim Ji Won explained, “I thought a lot so that Hae In’s extravagant styling not only simply reflects her wealth but also links the character’s situation and emotions,” sharing that she focused on the idea, “As she feels happier, her clothes become more extravagant!”

Furthermore, Kim Ji Won compared her character’s relationship with Baek Hyeon Woo as that of a magnet. She elaborated, “Although it seems like they’re pushing each other away like the N and S poles, they’re complete when together and can move onwards while deciding on a direction.”

Touching on her chemistry with her co-star, Kim Ji Won revealed, “Actor Kim Soo Hyun really makes the filming set comfortable and bright. Thanks to that, we were able to highlight our chemistry as an [on-screen] married couple really well.”
