The upcoming drama “Queen of Tears” features a riveting love story between the chaebol heir Hong Hae-in, played by Kim Ji-won as the “queen of Queen’s Department Store”, and the so-called “prince of supermarket” Baek Hyun-woo, portrayed by Kim Soo-hyun. The tale unfolds as the pair battles through crises three years into their marriage. The project is the third collaboration of acclaimed writer Park Ji-eun and celebrated actor Kim Soo-hyun, following their previous successes with “My Love from the Star” and “The Producers”.

Ever since its conception, “Queen of Tears” has been the center of much discussion, especially during its casting phase. Initially, IU was rumored to be in talks for the drama when Park Ji-eun announced her new drama in April 2022, but she ultimately declined. Despite initial denials from Kim Soo-hyun’s agency regarding his involvement, they later confirmed in November that they were considering the script. Kim Ji-won then accepted the leading role after IU’s pass.
The launch schedule of “Queen of Tears” has also been a topic of buzz. Listed as part of tvN’s lineup for the latter half of 2023, the drama was initially set for a December release. Unexpectedly, it was pushed to March 2024, with “Maestra” taking its initial slot. Despite various pre-production challenges, Kim Soo-hyun has sparked interest for his first portrayal of a married man onscreen. At the press conference, his remarks conveyed a sense of dedication and confidence in the drama’s potential.
Although Kim Soo-hyun’s prior work “One Ordinary Day” didn’t make a significant impact, possibly due to the platform’s reach, it did not match the success achieved by other productions on Coupang Play. Meanwhile, Kim’s 2020 drama “It’s Okay to be Not Okay” also did not live up to expectations, maxing out at a 7.3% viewer rating.
With the combination of Kim Soo-hyun’s talent and Park Ji-eun’s record of successful dramas such as “Crash Landing on You,” expectations are high for “Queen of Tears.” The audience is set with high hopes, and Kim has the opportunity to reclaim his standing as a leading figure in K-dramas.
