Reversal of Park Sung-hoon and Kim Soo-hyun stimulates jealousy

Park Seong-hoon melted into the character.

Park Sung-hoon met viewers as Yoon Eun-seong, an M&A expert with a mysterious charm, in the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Queen of Tears', which aired on March 16th and 17th.

On this day's broadcast, Eun-seong's past as a child from an orphanage was revealed, and his two-faced appearance, which stood out since childhood, injected a thrilling tension into the play.

Eunseong met a mountain ranger and his wife at the Queens Group villa and made an absurd offer to buy their dog for 100 million won. The couple expressed their refusal, saying they could not sell a dog that was like family. Eunseong said, “Then I’ll just throw it away because it’s annoying,” and then pointed the gun at the dog, surprising those watching.

When the couple saw Eun-seong's crazy appearance, they remembered the child who had killed their neighbor's dog in the past. Eunseong, who was an elementary school student at the time, was caught by the police, but instead of saying that he had done something wrong, he calmly said, "What's the difference if it's a precious dog? I was wondering if it was okay to kill a non-precious dog," creating a creepy scene.

On the other hand, the gentle yet sweet appearance shown in front of Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won) presented a twist. Eun-seong, who had a close relationship with Chairman Hermann, gave Hae-in a crucial hint for opening Herkina, and continued meeting with her under the pretext of talking about work. Among these, Eun-seong's friendly attitude towards Hae-in as if Hyun-woo (played by Kim Soo-hyun) was proud of him stimulated his jealousy and made it more fun to watch.

Park Sung-hoon's passionate performance, going back and forth between the faces of good and evil, gave viewers goosebumps and announced the birth of a fresh, unexpected character. Park Seong-hoon, who is enhancing the richness of the play by delicately portraying various aspects of the character, is raising curiosity about his future activities.

'Queen of Tears', which adds tension with the appearance of Park Sung-hoon, recorded a national viewership rating of 13% after 4 episodes.
