Reason behind Kim Ji-won’s ‘true education’ for Kwak Dong-yeon “We were lovers 7 years ago”

Kim Ji-won and Kwak Dong-yeon, who play siblings in tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “Queen of Tears“, are captivating viewers with their chemistry.

In the drama, they respectively portray Hong Hae-in and Hong Soo-cheol, the third-generation chaebol heirs of Queens Group. Older sister Hong Hae-in displays charisma as she “educates” her immature younger brother Hong Soo-cheol, showcasing the real-life sibling chemistry.

Whenever Hong Soo-cheol shows his tactless and immature side, Hong Hae-in reveals her “spicy” personality.

Viewers are showing amusing reactions to the scenes where Hong Soo-cheol receives “true education” from his older sister Hong Hae-in.

Comments such as “Must be karma from a past life“, “There’s a reason for everything“, “Seems like they weren’t on good terms even back then“, “Soo-cheol must have been reborn as the younger brother” and “The siblings reincarnated in ‘Queen of Tears’” are showing over-immersion.

This is because the two actors previously appeared together as lovers in the 2017 KBS 2TV drama “Fight for My Way“. 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.

Their reunion in “Queen of Tears”, even summoning memories of their interactions from 7 years ago, is causing over-immersion, evoking laughter. Viewers are eagerly anticipating how their synergy will play out in “Queen of Tears”.

Starring Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Ji-won, Park Sung-hoon, Kwak Dong-yeon and Lee Joo-bin, “Queen of Tears” depicts the dizzying crisis and miraculous rekindling of love between Hong Hae-in (Kim Ji-won), a third-generation chaebol heiress of Queens Group, and Baek Hyun-woo (Kim Soo-hyun), the son of farmers from Yongdu-ri, and their three years of marriage.

The drama has been receiving high ratings, recording an average of 20.9% and a peak of 22.7% in the metropolitan area as well as an average of 19% and a peak of 20.6% nationwide, showcasing its immense popularity.
