'Queen of Tear' fans discover 'Couple Item' linking Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won across decades

As the K-drama ‘Queen of Tears’ is nearing its final episodes, audiences find themselves emotionally invested in the fate of the characters. The recent revelation of the female lead’s terminal illness has left viewers heartbroken, with the prospect of a happy ending seeming increasingly unlikely. However, amidst the somber narrative, fans of the on-screen pairing of Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won have discovered a source of delight in an unexpected coincidence.
Netizens keenly observed that in a scene from ‘Queen of Tears’, Kim Ji-won dons a cardigan identical to one previously worn by Kim Soo-hyun in the 2013 K-drama ‘My Love from the Star’. This ‘couple item’ discovery has sparked amusement among fans. Many viewers humorously suggest that Kim Soo-hyun’s character is not only thrifty enough to recycle wardrobe items across years but also sentimental enough to pass on the cherished garment to his on-screen ‘wife’. This tiny detail brings joy to viewers, making them want to ‘ship’ Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won even more, especially as the plot of the series tends to lean towards more somber and painful side.
Moreover, the intriguing parallels between ‘Queen of Tears’ and ‘My Love from the Star’ extend beyond wardrobe coincidences. Notably, actress Na Young-hee, who portrayed Kim Soo-hyun’s mother-in-law in the latter, continues to fulfill the same role in the former, a decade later.
