, “‘Expressing parental love was not easy.'”, “Actor Kwak Dong-yeon, in celebration of the end of tvN’s weekend drama ‘Queen of Tears’ (‘Nunyeo’), recently met with EDaily for an interview to discuss his acting chemistry with Lee Joo-bin and his portrayal as a father.”, “Kwak Dong-yeon played the role of Hong Su-chul, the younger brother of Hong Hae-in (played by Kim Ji-won) and the husband of Chun Da-hye (played by Lee Joo-bin) in the drama. Despite learning that his son Geon-woo (played by Gu Si-woo) is not his biological child, Su-chul, portrayed as a foolish husband and father, touched viewers by protecting his son. Kwak Dong-yeon created Su-chul and Da-hye’s unique narrative amidst various incidents and characters.”, ” “,

, “The question of whether Geon-woo is Su-chul’s biological son sparked debate among viewers, as Geon-woo resembled Su-chul too much, leading Da-hye to write in a letter to Su-chul: ‘Geon-woo is not your son. You look like an Arab Prince, but Geon-woo looks like a tofu prince.’ Arab Prince refers to someone with distinctive facial features, and tofu prince refers to someone with a round, cute appearance.”, “Regarding this, Kwak Dong-yeon said, ‘It seems like there was a misunderstanding about the concept of Arab Prince and tofu Prince. I thought Geon-woo was a tofu Prince. The dividing line for me to determine an Arab Prince was the nose.’ He added with a laugh, ‘But many people got angry like Su-chul and said that Geon-woo is an Arab Prince. So, I thought, ‘Oh, is that so?'”, “How was the fatherly acting? Kwak Dong-yeon said, ‘I was worried that even if I tried to imitate it closely in my acting, people would still see through it as fake. In the middle of filming, I suddenly thought, ‘What if I approach this not from the perspective of having a child, but based on how my parents treated me?’ By approaching it that way, I could understand it.'”, “He once mentioned Geon-woo as a character he wanted to portray. Kwak Dong-yeon said, ‘Half jokingly and half seriously, Geon-woo received praise just by being still, he received praise for laughing when he laughed, and received praise for crying when he cried. I was a bit envious of that.'”, “He continued, ‘He’s a genius actor. He provided the necessary acting at the right moments and was like the highest authority on our set. If he wasn’t feeling well, filming would immediately stop. I’ve never seen a child of that age use such a rich range of expressions.’ He then showed his affection for the character of a foolish father.”,

, “Lee Joo-bin and Kwak Dong-yeon, who matched their acting chemistry as a married couple, have an actual 8-year age difference. When asked if there was any pressure, Kwak Dong-yeon said, ‘There wasn’t. (Laughs) The director told me, ‘No one else can play this role like actress Lee Joo-bin.’ I completely agreed. She was a partner with whom there was no discomfort or inconvenience in acting together as colleagues.'”, “In a previous interview, Lee Joo-bin rated her acting chemistry with Kwak Dong-yeon as 95 points. When asked about this, Kwak Dong-yeon said, ‘I’ll give it 195 points. It was really helpful, and I relied on her a lot.’ He added, ‘When I have worries or difficulties, I tend to agonize over them, but actress Lee Joo-bin had such a clear understanding of the path we should take. Her bright energy and presence helped create the chemistry between Su-chul and Da-hye.'”, “He also added, ‘I’ll tell you one anecdote. We were talking about various things to get closer, and when we said we enjoy drinking whiskey alone at home, she gave me a really good bottle of whiskey. I would like to thank her once again.'”,

, “How satisfied was he with the ending? Kwak Dong-yeon replied, ‘Personally, I think the ending with Su-chul and Da-hye was the most ideal ending.'”, “He continued, ‘Although opinions may vary on the drama’s ending, the love between Hye-in and Hyun-woo in this drama wasn’t a life that sparked recognition in a particular moment; it was a story that traversed each other’s entire lives, a story that encompassed what they were to each other in their lives. I thought it was like a fairytale and beautiful to show how they were left at the last moment of their lives.’ He expressed his affection for the work.”, ‘▶ Related Articles ◀’, , , , , ,
