actors how did jiwan and suan land their roles in Queen of Tears while it might be crazy to think about now the original plans for the series didn't even include gwan but instead the singer IU in fact

Tears was announced as the new project of screenwriter Park gun who previously worked on the hugely successful crash landing on You featuring IU as the lead actress in the series would have made sense as she's a famous and recognizable name who starred in many popular dramas IU also already played the part of a rich and prideful woman in hotel DeLuna so she had some experience with the role and she previously worked with suan in the drama's dream High and the producers in the producers IU also worked alongside the same screenwriter who worked on Queen of Tears IU's agency confirmed that the idol

of the reasons why she accepted to star in the drama while giwan wasn't the original choice for the role of haen suan was always considered as the perfect fit to play hyan Wu the screenwriter of queen of tear previously worked with suan in my love from the star and the producers so this is already their third collaboration also he's one of the most popular actors in South Korea so it's no wonder that he was the first choice for the role before queen of Tears Su Hon's last project was the web series one ordinary day in 2021 while his previous televised drama was it's okay to not be okay in
