The “Saving Grace” actress also opened up about the emotional impact Song Joong-ki had on her during a difficult time in her life. “Seriously, ‘Descendants of the Sun’ was what I started watching when our mom passed away. It helped me so much to recover from the sadness and the pain. After that, I loved him already. So tonight was monumental for me! I’m so glad I didn’t cry or pass out,” she shared, revealing how Song's show helped her cope with the loss of her mother.
Before the fan event, Song Joong-ki expressed his excitement about visiting the Philippines and shared his plans to take his family on vacation there.
