Kim Soo-hyun is currently the hottest actor in Korea at the moment. Having created a sensation with SBS’s “My Love from the Star” in 2013 with writer Park Ji-eun, Kim has been enjoying high popularity playing Baek Hyun-woo in the hit drama “Queen of Tears.” His explosive chemistry with Kim Ji-won, who plays the role of Hong Hae-in, has captivated viewers both in Korea and abroad.
“Queen of Tears,” which started with the 5.9% rating on March 9th, drew a remarkable upward curve, recording 8.7% in the 2nd episode and 9.6% in the 3rd episode. In the 4th episode, it proved to be extremely popular with a whopping 13.0% viewer rating. In the 6th episode, it again broke its own highest viewer rating with 14.1%, which is faster and greater than writer Park Ji-eun’s previous drama, “Crash Landing on You.”
At the center of the buzz is Kim Soo-hyun. He showed off his cuteness in the first episode with a self-made ad-lib of Kim Ji-won’s lines in “Fight for My Way.” The same goes for his front teeth flirting scene, which reminds viewers of Suzy’s famous smile. Kim Soo-hyun is complemented with being so sweet and cute in every episode.
Hence, Kim’s fee is drawing keen attention and question marks. However, the 800 million won report is not true and the exact number cannot be confirmed. What is clear, however, is that Kim is attracting viewers with his acting and charm, which is worth more than 800 million won.
