RBKD: An interesting article by Xinmsn which hopes to see Rui En attempting 6 different types of roles based on pre-existing characters from past dramas and movies. These roles include:
a) Dual roles of a wrongfully murdered ghost and her living daughter in Shadows in the Dark
Rui En has never attempted horror dramas and it would be refreshing to see her balancing these two roles.
b) Indie musician in Begin Again
It’s been quite some time a music drama has aired and this role is ideal for Rui En who had released two full music albums and a few singles in her career.
c) Top actress falling from grace in You Who Came from The Stars
Even though this character is similar to Zhang Ya Le in A Tale of 2 Cities but nature is different. It’d be fun to see Rui En play an aloof trend-setting fashionista with a caustic tongue for once.
d) Doctor in Good Doctor
It’s an occupation Rui En has yet to try onscreen.
e) Hockey Player in Pride
Perfectly suitable for Rui En as she herself is a true blue hockey player during her schooling days.
f) High School teacher in Gokusen
Rui En’s an influential personality in her own right (trended worldwide on Twitter a few times) and it would be interesting to see her as an inspirational school teacher.

After nearly 10 years of self-imposed exile away from the television lights, the revitalised National Kidney Foundation (NKF) is ready to step back into the limelight.
With rising demand for its service, in March next year, the organisation will be launching a 20-episode Channel 8 serial featuring Rui En, Dasmond Koh and Pierre Png.
This is a different approach to the glitzy television fund-raisers of the past, chairman Koh Poh Tiong told The Sunday Times in a recent interview.
Its aim is to promote a healthy lifestyle, with Rui En playing a kidney failure patient who picks herself up.

RBKD: This was a review from a writer who clearly wished the show was better. Our only advice is, if you are interested to read, finish up the entire 8-page article and not skip any parts. We wished there was a page’s mention on the actors’ performance too. We think some applause should be given to them there :)
Against The Tide 逆潮 is now airing, Mon-Fri, 9pm on Channel 8.

A new crop of actresses are carving out a niche on Channel 8, taking on major roles alongside veterans.
Carrie Wong, 20
Who was that new face standing next to Channel 8 bigwigs Christopher Lee and Rui En at the press conference last month to promote Channel 8 drama Against The Tide?
Carrie Wong, that’s who. She snagged the major role of a schizophrenic woman, the younger sister of Lee’s crime novelist character.
Landing this “acting opportunity of a lifetime” so quickly is something the 1.75m-tall Wong finds “surprising”, although she says she earned the role in her own right.
“I got the role after two rounds of auditions, so it’s not like they handed it to me,” she says in English.
