Kim Ji-won and Kwak Dong-yeon, 7 years of ill-fated relationship “From cheating boyfriend to troublesome younger brother”
The ill-fated relationship between Kim Ji-won and Kwak Dong-yeon in "Queen of Tears", this isn't the first time?
In “Queen of Tears”, Hong Soo-cheol (Kwak Dong-yeon) becomes a constant obstacle in the life of Hong Hae-in (Kim Ji-won), and now it’s been revealed that their ill-fated relationship has been ongoing for 7 years.
Kim Ji-won and Kwak Dong-yeon showcase realistic sibling chemistry in “Queen of Tears”. Hae-in is portrayed as a haughty queen who has lived a privileged life, while Soo-cheol struggles to find his place under his sister’s shadow, leading to feelings of inadequacy and alienation.
Soo-cheol’s actions often clash with Hae-in’s ambitions, causing conflicts and setbacks in her life, particularly in her efforts to elevate Queens Department Store. Kwak Dong-yeon’s character, as introduced at the press conference, evolves into a semi-villain, aiding the main antagonist, Park Sung-hoon’s character, in his misdeeds.
Kwak Dong-yeon made a special appearance as Kim Ji-won’s lover in KBS2’s “Fight for My Way” in 2017. Choi Ae-ra (Kim Ji-won) works hard at the information desk of a department store, and despite her modest living conditions, she provides a deposit for her boyfriend, Kim Moo-ki (Kwak Dong-yeon), and gives him pocket money.
However, their relationship takes a turn when Moo-ki is caught cheating with another woman, forcing Ae-ra to discover his infidelity. Ae-ra’s worst fears are confirmed when she discovers that the woman is pregnant, leading to their heartbreaking breakup.
This tumultuous relationship between Kim Ji-won and Kwak Dong-yeon’s characters continues over 7 years, from a cheating boyfriend to a troublesome younger brother, heightening anticipation for the remaining episodes of “Queen of Tears” to see how Soo-cheol will further affect Hae-in’s life and whether the two will reconcile dramatically.
