Actress Kim Tae-hee, ”It wasn't love at first sight”...Love story with Rain revealed = ”You Quiz on the Block”

Actress Kim Tae-hee shared the story of how she decided to pursue a romantic relationship with Rain (Pi).

On the night of the 20th, the tvN entertainment program “You Quiz ON THE BLOCK” aired an episode featuring the love story between Kim Tae-hee and Rain.

Yu Jae-suk welcomed Kim Tae-hee, whom he had not seen in 15 years since 'Come Play', and mentioned Rain, saying, “I worked with Tae-hee's husband.” Kim Tae-hee responded, “I enjoyed watching it very much,” and when asked, “How is Rain doing?” she shared her current situation as a parent, saying, “Today is a special day where he has to go to work early, so he's currently taking care of the children diligently.”

Yu Jae-suk mentioned to Kim Tae-hee, who is preparing for the release of her first Hollywood drama “Butterfly,” “Rain has also worked on Hollywood projects, so I think that experience might have been helpful. He said, ‘We just praise each other in the Hollywood style,’” and wondered what kind of compliments they exchange. Kim Tae-hee said, “I was worried because English isn't my first language, but my husband told me, ‘You're doing great,’ so I felt reassured and benefited a lot from that.” She recently visited New York for the interview and said, said, “My husband encouraged me to go to New York. I asked, ‘Is it the right decision for me to go?’ but he said, ‘It will promote the work, but it will also promote Kim Tae-hee as an actress, so you must go,’ so I mustered the courage to go.”

Kim Tae-hee recalled the challenges of suddenly starting her acting career without ever having dreamed of becoming an entertainer, saying, “Correcting the Gyeongsang Province accent for acting was really difficult, like acting in a foreign language. This time, I did act in a foreign language, but it seems that back then was even more difficult.”

Yoo Jae-suk said, "When Kim Tae-hee was in her 20s, she was tense on set and would relax at home afterward, but now it's the opposite. She used to be tense at home, but now she comes to the set to relax.“ He laughed at the changed lifestyle of Kim Tae-hee. Kim Tae-hee nodded and said, ”Today was a war until I came here. There were so many things to prepare and bring, and it was obvious that the order I placed before going to New York was delayed. My husband rushed to Dongmyo to get it," causing laughter.

Yu Jae-suk asked, “When did Kim Tae-hee decide to marry Rain?” “I don't think it was love at first sight for either of them. They just recognized him as a popular and dedicated actor and singer, and thought he was amazing,” she said, making everyone laugh. Kim Tae-hee added, "It wasn't love at first sight, but such things did happen later. He gave me gifts that weren't burdensome every time we met. Candles, MP3s with songs, and novels I found interesting." “A while after receiving the book, I had a restless day filled with worries. I thought, ‘I'll read the book and go to sleep,’ and opened it, but the previous page was filled with a letter. There wasn't much content, but I opened it during a time when my heart was very heavy and difficult, and it made me burst into laughter.” She shared how she gradually opened her heart to Rain. Kim Tae-hee, who had never initiated contact before, said that this was the first time she reached out to Rain first.

Meanwhile, “You Quiz on the Block” airs every Wednesday at 8:45 p.m. on tvN.
