Kim Soo-hyun, a very guilty person
The 10th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Queen of Tears' (written by Park Ji-eun/directed by Jang Young-woo, Kim Hee-won/produced by Studio Dragon, Culture Depot, Showrunners) aired on the 7th averaged 20.9% in the metropolitan area and 19% nationwide (Nielsen Korea nationwide paid households). standard) and is continuing its streak of breaking its own highest viewer ratings. It is also a global box office hit, ranking first in the global TOP 10 series (non-English) category rankings (March 25-31) announced by Netflix.
Kim Soo-hyun brings out aspects of Baek Hyun-woo's character, such as his suffering from living with his in-laws, going back and forth between hot and cold soups with Hong Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won), the capable head of the legal department at Queens Department Store, and his appearance in Yongduri with his family. Baek Hyun-woo, not Kim Soo-hyun. He is giving an unimaginably passionate performance.
In episode 9, Baek Hyun-woo helped the Queens family, who had lost everything and were chased, take refuge in Yongduri. Hong Hae-in, who could no longer receive help from Baek Hyun-woo, drew a line by saying that they were divorced, but Baek Hyun-woo said, “I won’t mind when you are well. I can't do that now. So, you take a look. “Just stay in front of my eyes,” he said, grabbing Hong Hae-in. Kim Soo-hyun lets you feel the depth of those emotions through his eyes, wondering what words were lingering in Baek Hyun-woo's mouth between each word. Even in the scene where Baek Hyun-woo stops by the room where Hong Hae-in is sleeping and takes care of him before going to work, Kim Soo-hyun conveys affection and excitement without a single line of dialogue.
In the 10th epilogue, he confessed the love he had been swallowing up and made viewers' noses wrinkle. Baek Hyun-woo, who was drunk, came to Hae-in's room while looking at the leaves, and with tears welling up in his eyes, he confessed, "I love you, Hae-in." Baek Hyun-woo realized how much he loved Hong Hae-in, but he couldn't express it, and his earnestness made even the viewers shed tears.
The emotional line that Kim Soo-hyun built up in detail until Baek Hyun-woo became his lover again further increased the level of immersion in the play. Kim Soo-hyun, with deeper eyes, is equipped with a mature masculine beauty and provides fun to watch acting and visuals in every episode, making people look forward to this weekend as well.
'Queen of Tears' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM on tvN, and can also be seen on TVING and Netflix.
