Seriously, I live for Queen Of Tears. It’s the only drama I watch to relieve stress from studying. Why are you trying to destroy it? You should have uploaded your post after the drama ended. Why are you blocking me from being immersed in the drama? Are you crazy?

Can’t you just live quietly without ruining other people’s lives?

Ah, I’m f@cking pissed. Where do you live?

If you’re going crazy, do so on your own without ruining other people. The motive for you uploading the picture is obviously malicious. I hope the drama’s production team sues you.

I’m so disappointed in you, Kim Sae Ron. You’re an actor too, so you shotuld know how much work the production team and actors put in for the drama. But for you to sop audiences from being immersed, I feel you have no right to be an actor. I hope you sincerely reflect on your actions and work towards becoming more mature.

Seriously, why are you doing this to Kim Soo Hyun?

Just live quietly.
The actress assured fans that she is preparing her statement and will address the issue once it's ready.
Kim Sae Ron: “I am preparing my statement. Once I finish, I will release it.”
