In an interview with Kyodo News, the actress confessed she was surprised that though it has been a while since the series released, Crash Landing On You continues to receive interest and love. "I think the warm atmosphere and sense of comfort surrounding the drama have offered (viewers) inspiration and happiness in the face of the global threat of the spread of the novel coronavirus," she said.

The actress said she was "overwhelmed" to learn that the series is playing a role in "raising interest in South Korean dramas" in Japan. Fans of the series would know that Son Ye Jin played the role of Yoon Se Ri, a South Korean who crashed her way into North Korea during a paragliding trip gone wrong. Captain Ri Jeong Hyuk, played by Hyun Bin, helps her cross the border. 

While there were several moments from the series that left fans gushing, Son Ye Ji revealed the one scene that she might not forget for a long time. She said it was the scene where the two leads bid farewell at the Military Demarcation Line separating North from the South of Korea. "It was when the emotions of the two characters exploded. I really thought about how to act it out and devoted much energy to it," she said.
