Viral “Queen Of Tears” Scene Was Actually Improvised By Kim Soo Hyun
Spoiler Alert
New tvN K-Drama Queen of Tears, starring lead actors Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won, has received high ratings so far, thanks to its all-star cast and clever writing.
The queen of department stores and the prince of supermarkets weather a marital crisis —until love miraculously begins to bloom again.

Screenwriter Park Ji Eun previously brought us Crash Landing on You, My Love From the Star, The Legend of the Blue Sea, and The Producers.
Yet, some of Queen of Tears’ funniest and most viral moments actually come from its actors.
In Episode 1, Baek Hyun Woo drunkenly tells his friend Kim Yang Ki (Moon Tae Yu) that he can’t go home yet. He explained that his wife, Hong Hae In, whom he now wants to divorce, had told him he’s cute when he’s drunk. So, he blamed his cuteness for his marriage.
As viewers laughed, Hyun Woo’s drunk but cute rant went viral on social media. Some also pointed out how it’s a subtle nod to Kim Ji Won’s Fight for My Way role as her character had said, “I was born pretty.” Hyun Woo referenced this by saying, “I was born like this.”
