Rui En is not cold, she’s cool.
That is according to Malaysian-born actor Shaun Chen.
The 36-year-old plays Rui En’s love interest in new Channel 8 blockbuster The Journey: Our Homeland.
He told The New Paper : “She is not as ‘ice-queen’ as she seems.
The local actress caused a stir at this year’s Star Awards when she appeared to not be enjoying the show as much as the other actors.
Chen was eager to stress that this was not the case and that she is very lively on set.
“She’s very fun and nice to hang out with,” he said
“Working with her is very pleasant and smooth, it’s comfortable.â€
Our Homeland is the final installment of The Journey’s trilogy which marks Singapore’s 50th anniversary.
Dancing in the Streets
Chen recounted how Rui En would ask him to dance for her while they were filming in Malaysia.
“She would join in and dance with the kids on the streets, and we would laugh loudly,†he said.
“We definitely get along well, I hope that we can work together again.â€
This is not the first time Chen has played Rui En’s lover on the small screen.
He first played her love interest in the popular 2013 blockbuster The Dream Makers. Their onscreen chemistry was an instant hit and lauded by many viewers.
When asked about their relationship, Rui En, 34, smiled and said: “Shaun and I work really well together both on and off screen. I think we brought that chemistry with us to (Our Homeland). We have our moments of craziness while filming and it’s really comfortable working with him.â€
She added: “It’s an easy experience.â€
The Journey: Our Homeland is now airing every weekday, 9pm on Channel 8.

NO WAYANG: "My make-up was actually migrating across my face because of all my sweat!" Rui En on the pains of inhabiting a Chinese opera role for The Journey: Our Homeland.
Posted by Channel NewsAsia Singapore on Wednesday, July 15, 2015
RBKD: Rui En spent two days in Penang to shoot the opera scenes for The Journey: Our Homeland. That was the most difficult scene she had done but she felt that this five-minute sequence was an important one as it helped to flesh out her character Yang Mei Xue and perhaps made it easier for the audience to identify with her.
In the final instalment of The Journey trilogy, Mei Xue gets entangled in a love triangle when her boyfriend (played by Zhang Zhen Huan) suddenly returns to Singapore when she thought he had died. Even though Mei Xue found happiness with Zhang Jia (played by Shaun) but had to give up her happiness out of a sense of duty to her boyfriend. “She is representative of what women were like back then. I think that wouldn’t happen today,” said Rui En.
