K-dramas’ stories of love and relationships have always looked like something out of a fairytale. With rose-coloured glasses, they have shown a world of perfect love and couples. Especially, the male leads of the dramas have always been shown as walking green forests, paying attention to every little detail of their love interests.
However, in their real life, there is reportedly a dark side to many of these actors who play the perfect boyfriend or husband in those dramas. Many of these ‘walking green forest’ heroes have been allegedly embroiled in problematic controversies that showed a stark difference between their reel and real life. These alleged two faces of many actors were revealed after the controversy between Kim Soo Hyun and the late actress, Kim Sae Ron.

Korean actor, Kim Soo Hyun rose to worldwide fame with his role as the main lead of Queen Of Tears. The actor became a fan favourite with his character, ‘Beak Hyun Woo’, who was shown as the perfect on-screen supportive husband. However, a few months later, an actress known as Kim Sae Rao died by suicide. As the news of her death spread out, a Korean YouTube channel reported that Kim Soo Hyun had started a relationship with the late actress when she was only 15 years old, and he was 27.
