The romance series also stars Vincenzo's Kwak Dong-yeon, The Glory's Park Sung-hoon and Be Melodramatic's Lee Joo-bin.

In a glimpse into the upcoming <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/iu-park-bo-gum-netflix-new-k-drama-when-life-gives-you-tangerines-celebrity-news" title="IU and Park Bo-gum to Star in a New K-Drama 'When Life Gives You Tangerines'" target="_blank" rel="noopener">K-drama</a> Queen of Tears, the first cast reading featuring the stellar duo of <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/5-minutes-with-seo-ye-ji-kim-soo-hyun-and-oh-jung-se-of-netflix-it-s-okay-to-not-be-okay" title="5 Minutes With Seo Ye-Ji, Kim Soo-Hyun, And Oh Jung-Se Of 'It&rsquo;s Okay To Not Be Okay'" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Soo-hyun</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/television-tv-series-films-movies-january-singapore-entertainment-succession-echo" title="8 Exciting New TV Series and Films to Catch this January" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kim Ji-won</a> was unveiled, setting the stage for a captivating new show to sink our teeth into about love, crisis, and the miraculous resurgence of romance.
Crafted by the acclaimed writer Park Ji-eun, known for her works such as the iconic hit <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/hyun-bin-debuts-as-the-new-face-of-tom-ford-beauty" title="Hyun Bin Debuts as the New Face of Tom Ford Beauty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Crash Landing on You</a>, My Love From the Star, and Producer, the drama intricately weaves the tale of Hong Hae-in (portrayed by Kim Ji-won), a scion of the Queens Group conglomerate and the reigning queen of a department store, and Baek Hyun-woo (played by Kim Soo-hyun), the son of Yongduri's supermarket owner. Their tumultuous three-year marriage becomes the focal point, tracing the arduous journey of reigniting their love.

At the script reading, which marked the inaugural gathering of the cast, the collaborative efforts of writer Park Ji-eun, directors Jang Young-woo and Kim Hee-won, and the lead actors were brought the characters to life. Kim Soo-hyun artfully conveyed the nuanced emotions of Baek Hyun-woo, intimidated by the might of his wife's chaebol family while maintaining a calm exterior. Conversely, Kim Ji-won embodied the role of Hong Hae-in, the sharp and cynical CEO of Queens Group's department store. The ensemble cast, including Lee Joo-bin, Park Sung-hoon, Kwak Dong-yeon, and others, delivered performances teeming with enthusiasm and immersion, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere.

Kim Soo-hyun's portrayal of the subdued Baek Hyun-woo, facing the overwhelming power of his wife's chaebol family while maintaining an unfazed fa&ccedil;ade, stands in contrast to Kim Ji-won's depiction of Hong Hae-in, the sharp-tongued and cynical CEO. Park Sung-hoon injects tension into the narrative with his portrayal of Yoon Eun-sung, an investment expert forming a close bond with Queens Group. While Kwak Dong-yeon, playing Hong Hae-in's younger brother Hong Soo-chul, and Lee Joo-bin, as his wife Cheon Da-hye, contribute comedic relief to the unfolding drama.

With the promise of a riveting romance between Baek Hyun-woo and Hong Hae-in, coupled with the clash between two families from disparate worlds, the script reading exuded excitement, tension, and joy. Scheduled to premiere in March, Queen of Tears is poised to deliver an emotionally charged story that we for sure will be looking out for!
