“We watched a few episodes together. He thinks it’s not bad,” she said, with a giggle. “We watched a few episodes together and analysed them scene by scene.”
She added, wryly, that he and her parents “are my harshest critics. But, I like it, because that’s how I improve”.
In her upcoming drama projects, viewers will get to see a different side of the actress (although whether she can top her “not bad” performance is anybody’s guess).
At the moment, she’s filming for the drama Undesirable Crimes alongside Jesseca Liu and Hong Ling, in which she plays an “irritating” reporter “people will hate once they see”.
She’s also been cast in the upcoming Little Nyonya spin-off Emerald Hill.
And, viewers can catch her on TV in the next couple of months when the drama Love On A Shoestring, a Singapore-Taiwan co-production, airs.
From now until May, she’s also doing a series of guests stints on the Mandarin radio channel Capital 985, on Mondays from 12pm to 2pm.
Of course, she’ll also be busy preparing for the Star Awards by “getting enough sleep and eating well to make sure I look okay on that day”.
“I’m still thinking about how I should react when they zoom in for the close-up” just before they announce the Best Actress, she quipped.
No matter the outcome, “I think I will remember this role for the rest of my entire acting career.”
Catch the Star Awards 2024 Live Show on Apr 21 at 7pm (Walk Of Fame at 5pm and Backstage LIVE starting 3.30pm online) on Channel 8, Channel U, mewatch and Mediacorp Entertainment’s YouTube Channel.
