When The Stars Gossip Spoilers: Is MBC Drama Bringing Back Queen of Tears Hong Hae In?

When The Stars Gossip is only a few weeks away from its premiere. K-drama lovers are desperate to know everything about the mini-series, including the cast and story. MBC recently dropped a big hint about bringing back the beloved character, Hong Hae In, from Queen of Tears to small screens.

If K-drama fans are wondering how MBC will bring Hae In back to small screens, it is by introducing a similar character. Choi Go Eun is a character who shares similarities with Hae In. She is a magnificent modern woman with a strong personality. But, deep down, she is thirsty for love. Another similarity between Go Eun and Hae In is that they are good at separating personal and professional lives.

Actress Han Ji Eun will portray Go Eun in the upcoming MBC fantasy romance drama When The Stars Gossip. She shared a few details about her character. According to her, Go Eun is a competent, intelligent, and beautiful CEO of MZ Electronics. Though Go Eun is an ideal type for everyone, she distances herself from love. It is because of her belief that there is no single trustworthy man on Earth.

"She's a magnificent modern woman, the heir to the giant MZ Group, with great abilities, but deep down, she harbors pain from her personal life and thirst for love," the actress shared.
