In 'Queen Of Tears', Kim Soo-hyun has essayed the role of Baek Hyun-woo, who marries Hong Hae-in, the director of Queens Department Store and a third-generation chaebol and daughter of the Queens Group family. Kim Ji-won is seen as Hong hae-in, who is always rude to her husband.
In an earlier interview with Vogue, Kim Soo-hyun talked about his career and ups and downs he has seen. He said, "I first started in 2007 and somehow I’ve already found myself here. If I look back, there were abundant times to the point of excess, but there were also times when I regretted, retreated, felt a lack. I can’t judge whether I was right or wrong when I look back on the past, but I also don’t feel like I should have avoided those situations. Time will pass, and whether it’s an honor or a wound, both of them leave traces. I’m still running toward a dream, and I don’t know how long I’ll be able to make myself heard as an actor, but I’m still able to endure the feelings that surround me now."

He added, "There was never a time in which I got swept up in a situation or felt desperate, but there was a time when I needed a break. Fortunately, this was around when I enlisted and I found both my question and answer at the same time. I did a movie in between, but not everyone goes to the theater, so the last time people could easily see me was in the 2015 drama ‘The Producers.’ I was in the military for two years, and no matter how fast I chose a project once I was finished, 2020 was the earliest that people could see me again. I questioned whether I could fill that gap of five years."
The series also stars Park Sung-hoon as Yoon Eun-seong, who is a former Wall Street analyst and M&A expert. Kang Dong-yeon will be seen as Hong Soo-cheol, who is the younger brother of Hae-in. Lee Joo-bin will be seen as Soo-cheol's wife.
