The character according to her looks cold but is lovely, looks strong but has her breaking points as well; in all, she is not a simple character. The My Liberations Notes actress thought playing this character might be seen as a role that suits her well.
Further, Kim Ji Won threw some light on how she sees Hong Hae In who is a cold and blunt figure who has not faced challenges in her life given her wealthy background.

The feeling of HongHae In’s loneliness was pitiful to the Fight For My Way actress and she tried to portray that in her acting.

The Lovestruck in The City actress further commented on her onscreen chemistry with her better half in the drama Kim Soo Hyun who plays her husband, Baek Hyun Woo. She compared the connection between the married couple to that of two magnets, it might seem like they are pushing each other away but when they are together and understand one other, they are rather in a magnetic pull of sorts. They move in the same direction and at the same pace, sharing a much deeper connection than what may look. Kim Soo Hyun, as shared by Kim Ji Won also is very bright and fun on set, making it very comfortable for fellow actors to work with him acknowledging the same, she said. The actress mentioned it made their on-screen chemistry as a married couple easygoing and natural.
