Kim Soo Hyun delighted fans by sharing an adorable snapshot with his on-screen wife, actress Kim Ji Won.

The photo, posted on April 16 on Kim Soo Hyun's Instagram account, captured the two actors on the set of the popular drama 'Queen of Tears'.

Dressed in black jackets, they struck a playful pose together, flashing peace signs. Kim Soo Hyun added a touch of sweetness to the post by affectionately referring to their characters' nicknames, "Baek Hong," in the caption.

He also credited actor Kwang Dong Yeon as the photographer, adding a personal touch to the behind-the-scenes moment.

Korean netizens commented, "They are the best couple of 2024," "I hope that Hyun Woo and Hae In are happy," "I'm so serious, I wish Baek Hong will be together forever," and "I love these two."

'Queen of Tears' continues to captivate viewers, reaching an impressive 20% viewer rating with its latest episode. This milestone not only solidifies the drama's popularity but also places it in prestigious company, surpassing the acclaimed 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God' to claim the second-highest rating in tvN history. Only the all-time high record set by 'Crash Landing on You' remains to be surpassed.

The success of 'Queen of Tears' can be attributed to its compelling storyline, which revolves around the journey of Hong Hae In and Baek Hyun Woo as they navigate the challenges in their three-year marriage.

As the couple strives to rediscover love and mend their relationship, viewers have been drawn to the heartfelt portrayal of their struggles and triumphs.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
