Starring Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won, the K-drama “Queen of Tears” has been all the rage over the net. 

In fact, a scene from the series, where Kim Soo-hyun’s character – the male lead Baek Hyun-woo, can be seen drunkenly crying and telling his friend that his wife finds him cute when drunk, has been going viral.

Particularly, Kim Soo-hyun’s line, “We wouldn’t have gotten married had I not been cute”, was constantly mentioned by the audience, while another of his line, “I was born like this”, draws attention for being a reference to Kim Ji-won’s “I was born pretty” like in the K-drama “Fight for My Way”,

As it turns out, however, the aforementioned scene and lines were completely improvised by Kim Soo-hyun, as proven in a recent behind-the-scenes video published by Netflix.

Kim Soo-hyun is simply impressive as an actor, making him being paid 18 times higher in “Queen of Tears” justified.
