While it would be definitely interesting to have IU in the leading role, I am glad Kim Ji Won got the part. IU is very famous, also because of her K-Pop career, and doesn't need much more publicity. Kim Ji Won on the other hand was always a bit underappreciated despite being great actress. After Queen of Tears she got a boost to her popularity she always deserved, especially internationally, so I hope to see her in more dramas now.
What a pity IU 's management rejected this drama. She will be better than Ji WON no doubt.
@@elsieyong703I am glad they turned it down.
@@elsieyong703 in your dream? Ji won made this drama spectacular, when she move and speak, she is a queen. no one would do better. IU? maybe a palace maid. no way she is just pretending to be a singer.🤣😂😅
@@elsieyong703 Luv ❤❤❤IU as an idol/singer..but for this role, KJW made Hae-in alive convincingly..which I doubt IU could..she's made the character herself that it didn't look like acting..
IU's acting is still not on the same level..
@@elsieyong703 While I am an IU fan myself, Ji Won was perfect for the role. They just don't mix up.
Ji Won slayed the role of Hae- in. She's a perfect match 👌🏻. Am glad JiWon and Soohyun played The couple coz look at success it has become. Congratulations to all involved in this production and of course to the legions of fans who are supporting it👏🏻👏🏻♥️🙏🏻
IU was the first choice…She declined that’s why the role landed to KJW.
Even though Ji Won was not the first choice still she has given justice to the role of Haein. She really have excellent chemistry with Soo Hyun. Kudos to the QOT team hope you will make it to the top ratings on Kdrama. More power to your team. Hope for 2nd season
l agree
Yessss
@@chacri08another article IU was the choice of the first director, then the director changes and this director’s first choice has always been Jiwon.
Here is the K-Netz comment:
Before the director changed, Lee Eung-bok’s first choice was IU. After the director changed to Kim Hee-won, the first choice was Kim Ji-won
Ji won made this drama spectacular, when she move and speak, she is a queen. no one would do better. IU? no way
Embora goste da IU, tenho minhas duvidas quanto o papel da personagem cairia tao bem ,como foi com Jimwoo. Mas tb acho que a IU se deu muito bem com a personagem de My mister .Inesquecivel .
Espero que ela volte a atuar numa serie tao boa como my mister . ❤😊
Ji won nailed her role and i love seeing her, she is so beautiful. She has incredible facial gestures and perfect in this role❤
Important FACTS:
Before they changed the director, Lee Eungbok PD's # 1 pick wa IU and after they changed The PD TO Kim heewon the # 1 was Kim Jiwon. They Mentioned in the press conference, all the leads and supporting roles were all her FIRST Choice. so no, Jiwon is not a Second Choice.
Yes. JI WON IS HER 2nd CHOICE. SHE changed her tune now just because for whatever reasons ...leave it. no point arguing .
@@elsieyong703stop barking
@@belg1anwaffle: elsieyong703 He/She is IU’s fan. This person is all over comment sections and talked bad about KJW😒😒
@@elsieyong703go cry to your mama, such a denial person you are
Omg I actually can’t see IU in this role. Ji Won is so perfect.
True!
Kim Soo Hyun played best in this particular segment among his other drama series.
l love Kim Ji Won in Liberation Notes!
She has that cold face, arrogant and stuck up look of Hae-In which is captivating!
Two are competing in acting abilities.
I’m glad Kim Ji-won was chosen to play the role of Hong Hae-in coz she portrayed her character so well. When the camera starts rolling you’re seeing Hong Hae-in, not Kim Ji-won the actress, that’s how good of an actress she is; Kim Ji-won perfectly embodied her character. I don’t think IU can pull it off, it’s just my opinion.
IU 's facial expression will be better than Ji won't.. l.m not against Ji Won..l dont like some of her facial expressions in this drama...lU will do a better job ..
@@elsieyong703 I like IU, I watched Hotel deLuna as well as Queen of Tears. They both did well in their perspective roles, but IU doesn’t have the same presence/aura as Kim Ji Won - Hae in would not be Hae in.
@@mel6222 both are very talented actresses, but i won't compare them for the role of Hae In coz IU never play it. she maybe can pull it off, maybe not..she maybe can do better, maybe not..
@@elsieyong703 I watched Hotel Del Luna IU is good actress i agree but she lack emotions sometimes, Kim Ji Won is the best fit for Hong Hae In role nobody can play better than her
@@muhamadarif1498 I am not comparing both of them, Kim Ji-won is perfect for the role. IU doesn’t have that vibe to play a strong willed, feisty, cold and at the same time soft hearted CEO. Kim Ji-won’s micro expressions are exceptional; she’s way better than IU in conveying emotions through the eyes; you can see the subtle changes and transformation from cold, fierce looking to being hurt and vulnerable, and in my opinion, IU is lacking that ability.
As much as i love IU, Ji Won was one of those actresses that i feel deserved the recognition as she always deliveries her roles so well. I knew she will do impressively! Im so glad people acknowledged how great of an actress she is now. While i do wonder how it would have been if it was IU, i wouldnt be so invested in this drama if this werent’ JiWon x sooHyun pairing.
Agree😊
At first, one and only reason I watched it was just bc jiwon.. ❤
Honestly I prefer Jiwon then IU. She's so adorable sweet looking yet in this drama she showed looks can be deceiving. She acted so well in this drama ❤❤❤
Naaah i can see IU easily for this role too. She had done the Rich confident female character before. Plus she knows kim so hyun for 10+ years so there is already chemistry. I was in the beginning shocked they choose for kim jiwon.
IU as a strong and feared CEO of a prestigious company? Sorry, I don't buy that. Her baby-is face will not be so convincing. She simply does not have the right aura as Kim Ji Won does for the role. Nothing to do with her incredible acting chop. She simply does not exude the right vibe for the role. I am afraid.
I agree with you and ji won is so beautiful.... she did incredible facial expression!
So true, IU has baby face and doesn’t have that diva aura, Kim Ji-won is perfect for the role.
Agreed. She can only play princess roles or something but she doesn’t have that strong presence that KJW has
Ji Won is a more versatile actress over IU. If Ji Won wasn't gonna get the role of Queen of Tears, I would've prefer Shin Hye Sun or Won Jin A to play the role first before turning to IU.
You might have not seen Hotel del Luna, but I'm still glad this was given to Ji won
IU cou🎉ld never pulled that off as Haein . Although she's a great actress. Kim Ji Won is the perfect choice for the Role.
Totally agree with you
Park Sung Hoon is such nice, relax and funny guy and yet he always lands on bad boy role. He's even that good in it, that after one episode I hate him from bottom of my heart - then hating myself of hating him. But sure, superb acting. This series brought me another favourite actress next to Jeon Yeo-been; Kim Ji-won is absolutely nailing her role and I consider her as best "cold, arrogant busines woman" of all time. And such beauty!
This drama has a few flaws, but the main couple is freaking amazing together and their acting is top-notch!!! Kim Soohyun deserves every penny he gets paid for his acting because he's absolutely phenomenal🫠 There's not a single moment in his acting where you'd be like, 'Meh, he could've done better.' His crying scenes are legit tearjerkers, and as Haein said, you just wanna hug him when he's crying lol Kim Jiwoon is also fantastic, as per usual. It's so cool how different her real personality is from the character she's playing! Overall, I'm really enjoying this drama and I hope it has a satisfying ending!
Gosh. She’s so introverted in real life! But just great with her work !!!
If it's IU I don't think i'll be watching because, Jiwon is the only reason i took interest in this drama since the beginning. I started to love her and her aeygo in Fight for my way. I don't even really care abt the male lead. But after watching her drama, she always makes me fall in love with her counterpart. And this time she made me a fan of soohyun too. I'm just happy both of them took this project because their chemistry is out of this world ❤
This drama was Perfect definition of perfection!!! Beautiful OST, luxurious designer outfits, heartfelt story, talented cast, rollercoaster emotions and above all our lead role kim²..... suppose even if the drama was bad, hong haein outfits and beauty was enough to draw my attention to this drama❤
He deserved the highest talent fee. No doubt about that. His K-drama was always a big hit. ❤❤❤
Kim Ji-Won naild her part! 👌 & aunt Beom Ja she is the coolest character, she rock the two series.😂
Great Job TO ALL QUEEN OF TEARS CAST. ❤😊
Thank goodness Ji Won took the part. She is perfect for it. I doubt the producer's first choice for the role, wa IU, would have been that good. Many great roles have been turned down by famous stars only to regret it later.
IU would slay this role with ease. Its actually quire a cliche role isn it? I believe its about opportunity. If its given to other actresses they would do well too...proven to kim ji won isnt it
A different genre for Ji Won after watching her Archdal Chronicles and Sword of Damon.
This drama wont be a mega hit without Ji Won....its all about the chemistry of Kim Ji Won and Kim Soo Hyun !!
Now I just want cameo of Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin because its 100% sure that its a happy ending
It's crazy how I love IU as an actress yet not able to imagine her as Hae In because Ji Won nailed it.
You can tell that this is a high quality well planned project because of the overall production planning which included romantic screen writers, perfect casting,I mean great great casting choices. I watched a lot lot of Korean dramas so I pretty much seen these actors exceptional talents and performances in their other projects and I’m just so elated to see a bunch of them together in this one project….😱what a treat!. Thank you
OUTSTANDING CASTING!! Every actor, including the baby, has nailed his/her role!
Kim Ji Won is now officially Number 1
The budget just got updated after the release of ep. 14 ... Now it goes up to $40.6million ... I guess Kim Soo Hyun got his salary raised after a huge success of the series
Billion ig
This piece was very well done :) Thank you for being very informative while also being clear and concise. Just subscribed, so looking forward to future content.
honestly, soohyun deserves every bit of that 9 mil, his acting was phenomenal
Very nice drama iam at episode 14 now waiting episode 15 & 16
Kim Ji Won nailed every scene. She should have been nominated in Baeksang. Ding always working on her craft whatever the role is, been a fan since Rache Woo. #ProudDongDeng
Kim Ji Won slayed the role , it is made for her. We can’t imagine anybody else portray Hong Hae In better than her.
I think IU would have been incredible in this role… but Kim Jiwon is just perfect.
As for IU… I just WANT to see her with V again like in the Love Wins All video… this NEEDS to be a Drama. Their chemistry is amazing.
Love this drama Queen of tears, i admired all the cast, their performance are great. You'll watch it again and again , i love kim ji won, kim soo hyun what perfect couple..❤❤❤ hoping they can be real couple.!!!! Congratulation.....
dong: i chose the role of soo cheol because he's the comic relief.
me watching his storyline: 😄😆🤣😂😨😰😢😭😭😭
wondering if you watch It's OK Not to Be OK? It's a very popular kdrama. top-notched. Mr. Kim is the male lead there. Dong is in that one as a mental patient. He was great there too.
@@kenvo343he was there too ? I totally forgot💀 That's why i was thinking i had seen soo-chal somewhere else ,
I already watched IU in hotel deluna which was great. So I'd rather see Jiwon or Go Youn Jung in this role.
Vincenzo fans are saying that queen of tears is nothing but because of Vincenzo it is getting the hype.. but that's not true.. many are watching QOT from the beginning and yeah we agree that Vincenzo did increase the percentage but he was only in episode 9 so if this drama was nothing then Vincenzo fans would have not been watching till now.. they would have left the drama after Vincenzo scene.. but many are watching it so yeah it is something to get that hype.. and the casts are perfect for the roles.. and I now realised that the 1st 3-4 episodes were boring coz they were showing us their boring non romantic non expressing lifestyle
Who would say that? Vincenzo is only there for a cameo, him being there would only boost the views for one episode. The whole drama’s success is due to the lead actor and actress
@@CuteKristy179 some crazy Vincenzo fans are saying that... But for us queen of tears have the ability to become the top one of TVN..
Vicenzo is the nothing, lol at gap ratings
Correct . It got nothi g with that gug Vincenzo@@CuteKristy179
The storyline is ordinary but what made the drama a success was bcoz of Kim Soo hyun Kim ji won extreme and explosive chemistry both physically And acting wise (otherwise it could have been a flop)
Kim soo hyun Kim ji won acting And chemistry saved the Show❤
Love them❤
Perfect match... Great series.... so many tears had been shed.... woth watching... I will be watching this over and over again.... #Kimkimcouple is loved... hoping for another series or movie.... I will definitely wait... ❤❤❤❤❤
BEST K-DRAMA EVER: CRASH LANDING....(CLOY): Beautiful Story of Action, Love, Intrigue, Suspense: Love the ending of romantic scene in Switzerland; most esp. this K-DRAMA is Beautiful throughout as REEL into REAL LIFE (been watching this, now for 7th time)! Kudos to the Author, Director for a wonderful STORY. Hope for more projects for this Real Love Couple!🤗💞♥️👍
Kudos to everyone 👏👏 this is one of the kdrama i ‘ve watched with opened eye (no dull moment) from the start till the end. Nice ending different from the others. Hoping for another kdrama with substance
Ji won was flawless, the role was made for her
After my Demon , this drama is my second fav on Netflix 😊❤
Thank goodness IU didn't accept the role, as I don't think she would have been a good fit for KSH...KJW is much better.
I hope the Kim couple will get an award for their role. This drama is one of their best works so far and their chemistry is undeniable.
i Just can't imagine if they had other cast😢😢😢 they are perfect this way
HYUN BIN has all the masculine look of a ruggedly handsome Actor just right for a good Action movie as well as a Romantic Lover Man: SONGHE JIN, Beautiful w/ her pretty laughing eyes as well as her beautiful model body! Looking forward for another show of this Love Couple!♥️💞
I really liked this show. I wish Korean drama strs could tour the USA. I would
pay to go see them. Perhaps show clips, have them reenact a few lines, answer preapproved audience questions. It would be fun.
Ji won is perfect for the role my goodness best actress for me this year
Love to watch the "queen of tears"
This drama is take over my love from the star and my demon as my 2 favorite drama
Beom Ja is my favorite character.
Kim Jiwon is a good actress…. Kim Soo Hyun always pair up with great actresses that matches his acting ability. Kim Soo Hyun is a credible and reliable actor in the cast. It’s like a sure thing that every drama that Kim Soo Hyun act in will be a hit drama of all times…. The supporting cast does not disappoint too… This is the first drama that KSH act as a husband and his comedic timing is so good that I look forward to him acting in funny roles in the future too…
The role of Hae In was tailor-made for Kim Ji Won, the personality of IU is not suitable for the haughtiness and beauty of Hae-In.
Its actually made with IU in mind but since she refuse it than other actress given the opportunity able to do well too even if its not kim ji won...
If Kim Ji Won wasn't gonna get the role of Hae In, I would've definitely consider either Shin Hye Sun or Kim Go Eun before considering IU.
Yesssss
IU is an amazing actress. But I don’t think she can pull off some of the emotional scenes that Ji Won was able to pull off. After this performance/drama, her prices just went up to the top tier. I been watching her since Heirs, she kills every roles she’s in 🤣
Nice choice Kim Ji won is better leading lady for Kim Soo hyun
Thank God for Ji Won
Pra mim ela foi perfeita para o papel. Ela transita com muita facilidade entre a frieza de uma poderosa CEO, para uma fragil apaixonada e boba pelo advogado bonito.
Duas cenas que ela arrasou: quando a hae in descobre o pedido de divórcio e quando a hae in ve o hyon woo pela primeira vez depois de perder a memoria. Prestem atenção no olhar dela nessas duas cenas. Nao precisa falar nada, esta tudo no olhar.
Uma pena ela não ter sido indicada a nenhum prêmio por esse papel. Injusto
Jiwon is the best ,❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
kim ji won slayed the role. shes pretty. her expression face and the dialogue she speak in that role such a masterpiece. her expression face, her walk and her gesture perfect and match the role in qot. iu also pretty but her facial expression is stiff which not good enough to step up that role.
Iu was chosen by the prior Pd but when they changed it their first pick is Ji won.
I love IU and I think the role fit Ji won better because IU has a bit of a pretty innocent face whilst Ji Won has a more mature beauty and boss lady attitude
Kim Jung Ah is a sure winner to me
wow
KSH & KJW is a perfect couple❤❤
I don't know why people are so concerned with what actors get paid in Korea. It's not like Netflix isn't going to pay the bill. 600K isn't even that much money per episode lol.
I actually wanted to take a 3 week vacation in South Korea. But after seeing how Germany is portrayed negatively in this romantic drama, I drastically changed my vacation plans. I think that the South Koreans no longer have a good opinion of the Germans. I only saw untruths about Germany. We don't live here like we do in the Wild West! I was also a truck driver for over 15 years and after an accident like that, no truck drives anymore. Complete nonsense
2nd 🦝
I love IU to death, but I doubt she could have pulled off the Hae In vibes. Kim Jiwon is perfect for this role
first!
Gak yakin gw bakalan nonton klo yg main IU. Untung bukan
Buti nalang hindi si IU ung lead actress,,di cguro ganito ka successful
Tama👍
If it was IU I wouldn’t have watched it~ no offence to her but i just wouldn’t
IU is not a great actress. Idk why in korea everyone wants to do everything. Let actors do acting and singers sing
Shes good. Watch HDL, my mister n broker all award winning
You got that right
Glad IU declined the role
I that kim jiwon looks a tad too mature for the baby faced kim soo hyun.
Agree..IU is better choice😅to match with KHS...'s face
My mother,aunties & nieces watch this 5x a week @netflix now i know why🫰🫰🫰
