When SooHyun saw that girl in a wedding outfit, he immediately went, βOh, λλ¬Όμ μ¬μ (Queen of Tears!β ) ππ He knew it right away!
Of all the dramas heβs done, QOT is the only one where he actually got married. Hahahaha! ππ

#Queenoftears will always be close to Jiwon and the drama of the decade π€β€οΈ
Host: Come to think of it, it's already been two years since Queen of Tears came out. Wow, time really flies.
Jiwon: I know, right?
Host: It set the highest viewership rating in tvN drama historyβ24.9%! Wow, that's truly...
Host: Truly, how does it feel? Even two years later, hitting nearly 25%βthese days, 25% feels like passing 50% back in the old days.
Host: That's right. In fact, because you've mostly played resilient, candy-like characters in the past, fans would say things like, "I want to see Kim Jiwon throwing Hermes bags around in a penthouse!"
Jiwon: Ah, people express things so vividly and tastily, don't they?
Host: Right, exactly! It's so brilliant. Like wanting to see you crying while slamming the steering wheel in an expensive luxury car. Why do people want to see that?
Jiwon: I was just curious myself. Because I'd played resilient characters a lot, I think people wanted to see something relatively different. Like, "Please play a third-generation chaebol!"
Host: And you finally did that through Queen of Tears! How was it?
Jiwon: Honestly speaking... physically, it was quite comfortable.
Host: Ah, right, of course, because you're a chaebol.
Jiwon: Yes, yes. So there were a lot of scenes riding in nice cars, shooting in warm places when it was cold, and in air-conditioned places when it was hot. So I thought, "Ah, being a third-generation chaebol is great!"
Jiwon: But because the outfits were so high-end and expensive, while acting I'd act all chic, but when resting or sitting down, I'd be super careful βWhat if a single thread gets pulled?β If something got damaged, I'd have to compensate for it. Because we had to return everything once filming ended.
Jiwon: On the flip side, when playing a resilient character, you have to suffer in the cold when it's cold and sweat in the heat. True, you can lie down anywhere, which is nice too. But being a chaebol was too good.
Host: But isn't the physical ease nice too?
Jiwon: Yes, it's great. There's a comfortable side to being able to move freely like that as well.
Host: Now, one difficult thing I heard about was diet management. You love Chinese cuisine, but you supposedly cut it out for a full year?
Jiwon: But actually, someone asked me if there was any special effort I made for the drama, and since everyone puts in a fair amount of effort, I was thinking about whether I did anything special. I had been super into Sichuan Jajang ramen at the time...
Host: Ah, those are delicious.
Jiwon: Yes, so I mentioned that I briefly stopped eating those. But then news articles blew it up into: Jiwon cuts out Chinese food for a year!" So I was like, It wasn't quite to that extent... I just temporarily paused eating Sichuan Jajang ramen. So I'm correcting the record here.
Host: Ah, you just paused it briefly.
Jiwon: Yes, just paused it for a bit. #KimJiWon #κΉμ§μ
