On December 21, a video titled “I Think I Fell in Love Like Clothes Soaking in Water (Sincere)” was uploaded to Jung Jae Hyung’s YouTube channel Fairy Jae Hyung. During the conversation, Jung Jae Hyung reflected on the couple’s chemistry during Crash Landing on You, saying he felt their romance had already begun while filming.
“I truly believed it was love,” Jung Jae Hyung said. “You can’t deliver that kind of acting unless there’s genuine emotion behind it.”
However, Hyun Bin firmly corrected the assumption. “No, it started after filming ended,” he said, explaining that despite previously working together on the film The Negotiation, they had rarely acted face-to-face on set. “We filmed mostly in separate spaces. We only saw each other briefly during meals or monitoring,” he recalled.
Hyun Bin added that he had long felt a sense of regret as an actor for not fully sharing scenes in the same space. “Acting while looking at a monitor versus acting while looking into each other’s eyes is very different,” he said. That lingering thought eventually led to Crash Landing on You, where they finally worked closely together.
The actor noted that their strong bond was built on shared similarities. “We’re the same age, started our careers around the same time, and our life paths feel similar,” he said, adding that their conversations flowed naturally.
When asked what specifically made him fall for Son Ye Jin, Hyun Bin gave a touching response. “There wasn’t one defining moment,” he said. “It just happened over time—like water slowly soaking into clothes.” He emphasized that their love developed naturally without any dramatic turning point.
Hyun Bin also shared his thoughts on possibly working with Son Ye Jin again in the future. While he ruled out repeating something like Crash Landing on You, he expressed openness to new ideas. “A story about a married couple whose relationship suddenly falls apart could be interesting,” he suggested, even mentioning a Mr. & Mrs. Smith-style concept as a fun possibility.
Hyun Bin’s honest reflections once again reminded fans why he and Son Ye Jin remain one of Korea’s most beloved real-life couples—rooted in mutual respect, shared growth, and a love that quietly deepened over time.
