<p>&quot;Thank you sincerely to the many people who enjoyed watching, took interest, and loved the drama.&quot;</p><p>These were the words of Korean actress Kim Ji-won following the success of her series <em>Queen of Tears.</em></p><p>In an interview with her management agency HighZium Studio as translated by Soompi, Ji-won admitted that she was both nervous and sad as the conclusion of the series was approaching.</p><p>&quot;I waited with a nervous and excited heart as we filmed for a long period that took all four seasons. To think that [the drama] is already over makes the time feel shorter, and I feel somewhat saddened,&quot; she said.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C5sptMHSOSd/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A2353131%2C%22ls%22%3A1763880.599999994%2C%22le%22%3A1764205.699999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p><em>Queen of Tears </em>follows the story of the intense challenges and the surprising renewal of love between Hong Hae-in (played by Ji-won), a wealthy heiress from Queens Group, and Baek Hyun-woo (played by Kim Soo-hyun), a farmer&#x27;s son from Yongdu-ri, over three years of marriage.</p><p>Ji-won remarked that the character of Hong Hae-in would always be memorable for her. </p><p>&quot;Hong Hae-In will remain [in my memories] as a four-leaf clover to me. Actually, there is not that much time that the character spends despairing. Although she has a difficult time, she overcomes it quickly, and she puts in effort to do so,&quot; she stated.</p><p>She went on: &quot;Hong Hae-In has a lot of love, but she is not very good at expressing it. As the story progresses, she showed how she put in effort to express herself better. I hoped those aspects reached the viewers well, and it would be great if you could remember Hae-In as a &#x27;warmer person than expected.&#x27;&quot;</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4SnRBAS_Lf/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A2330252.599999994%2C%22ls%22%3A1763880.599999994%2C%22le%22%3A1764205.699999988%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p><em>Queen of Tears</em> had its finale episode on April 28.

How did this couple&#x27;s relationship end up like this? Why are they so angry? Why is this person so cold and selfish? What happened? As I kept reading on what started out as curiosity eventually turned into affection for the story,&quot; she relayed.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/4/5/kim-soo-hyun-kim-ji-won-share-favorite-scenes-they-filmed-for-queen-of-tears-1010" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>READ: Kim Soo-hyun, Kim Ji-won share favorite scenes they filmed for ‘Queen of Tears’</u></strong></a></div><p>On her favorite scenes in the series, Ji-won relayed that it was the scenes that they shot in Germany.</p><p>&quot;[They] were most memorable for me.
