1. Boos & Bravos
Page 112

BOO to Rui En’s ‘try-too-hard’ performance as a police inspector in Unriddle (weekdays, Ch 8). From her ‘I-have-to-act-cool’ posturing (is she channelling David Caruso in CSI: Miami?) to her unintentionally funny exchange with snitch Chen Liping, she’s an easy target for ridicule.

Don’t get us wrong: Rui En makes for a great action heroine, but sometimes the writers can’t seem to decide if she’s Dirty Harriet or Inspector Clouseau. Because if she’s a super-cop, why is it that she get bamboozled by the bad guys like every 10 minutes?

Foong Woei Wan

Veteran Chen Liping puts on a taut performance despite the loose script.

Chen Liping plays a police mole in the Channel 8 thriller Unriddle.

As mad as it sounds to toss an auntie into an Infernal Affairs-ish scenario, it makes sense when you watch her in the show and find yourself worrying about her.

What if a maniacal human trafficker hacks off her hand? What if a mental murder suspect shoots her in the head? What if she does not make it past the commercial break? In a drama with a flabby, sometimes logic-defying screenplay, several taut, nerve-racking scenes are drawn just from placing her in some sort of peril.

Not so much tension from Rui En, who plays a hard-as-nails policewoman and looks like she is on top of things.

You cannot help caring because it is Chen, the cuddliest of Singapore’s television stars.

Her line readings are so lived-in, she feels real: She is just being Chen Liping – or a more heroic version of herself – whereas some of the other actors, straining and sweating, are just actors.

They are not flesh-and-blood characters you can hang a commercial break on.

UNRIDDLE Channel 8, Weekdays, 9pm. ★★★☆☆

I just watched 5 epsiodes of ‘最火搭档 Unriddle’…and this time, I didn’t even press the fast forward button! Yes, it is that good. How good?

It is very pacy…well crafted story-telling style. I like how each episode begins with the event already taken place but quickly drawing us back into the hours or days just before the event…

陈莉萍 Chen Li Ping is marvellous. There’s one scene when there was no dialogue at all and she was hugging the belongings of her father…that brought tears out of me… This is going to be her most lovable character after her Holland V’s classic role to date! Best Actress nomination again…high chance of a sure-get-in position in the Top 5.

瑞恩 Rui En will surprise many in this role…the Executive Producer commented that Rui En reminded him of the young 邓萃雯 and that is a big compliment. You will be impressed by Rui En who played this character well in the grey area. She is also very blessed to be picked in dramas surrounded by some of the best artistes and that also bought out her best…

郑斌辉 Tay Ping Hui may stand a very big chance to grab that Best Actor trophy from 陈汉玮 Chen Han Wei (acted brilliantly in 五福到 and 我在你左右) for his role in Unriddle. It will be a good fight this time round. You can feel the intensity – his pain, guilt and anger and that he did not even need to express through any exaggerated facial expressions or body language. Just pure 眼神… Though he only appeared in the first 4 episodes (another 3 more towards the finale)…he will leave a very deep impression…

The supporting characters are equally fantastic. 陈邦鋆 Andie Chen has certainly proven that he is on the right track to position himself as a 性格派艺人 since we last saw him in ‘The Little Nyonya’. Wang Yu Qing is a complete different person from his 老飞鱼 role in ‘泳闯琴关 No Limits’. Li Wen Hai, Zheng Ge Ping, Brandon Wong, Joshua Ang, Zhang Wei and Zhou Ying also shine in their small roles. Even those who acted as pimps and thugs, they come alive in their roles… Oh well…I only saw the first 5 episodes and there are many more cameo appearances by other stars to come…

For those who will be watching the preview of episode 1 at the Unriddle event tomorrow with the stars…feel free to pen your reviews and share share here yah…

By Han Wei Chou | Posted: 28 July 2010 1758 hrs

Rui-En stars as a no-nonsense police detective in the drama serial “Unriddle”.

SINGAPORE: Upcoming Mandarin cop drama “Unriddle” is quite possibly the most action-packed production in the past year and a half, with a ton of fight scenes and gunplay woven into a storyline filled with dirty cops, deranged killers and violent betrayals.

While the show has a very serious theme, behind the scenes, Rui En, who plays a no-nonsense police detective, was laughing her way through most of the shoot because of co-star veteran actress Chen Liping’s infectious laughter.

Rui-En breaks into laughter after listening to co-star Chen Liping’s comments at the “Unriddle” press event.

Rui-En cracks up as Chen Liping brings on the laughs.

“We can be working on very serious lines and she would start laughing. Once you hear her laugh, you will start laughing!

“I almost got internal injuries trying to keep from laughing!” said Rui En at the recent “Unriddle” press event, giggling as Chen looked on in amusement.

Rui En went on to reveal that she had forged a very strong bond with Chen, who plays an informant in the show, although this was the first time they collaborated on a production.

Indeed, the pair was spotted exchanging friendly banter during the press event and playfully nudged each other during a later photo shoot.

“Liping is the most generous artiste that I’ve had the chance to work with. She took care of me from day one.

“She has just been nothing but generous. I have been very blessed for such a very caring [co-star],” said the actress, citing how Chen had even asked her own personal assistant to help Rui En with various tasks.

“It just left a deep impression on me because normally, people who have assistants don’t do that. They pay the person to take care of them.

“I’ve never seen it before, you know, where people [ask their assistants] to help someone else,” said Rui En, looking thoroughly impressed by her co-star’s generosity.

Rui En the Stuntwoman

When the discussion turned to the unusually high number of action scenes in the show, Rui En’s eyes lit up.

The actress proudly declared that she did most of her own stunts in the show, though she would have done them all herself, if she hadn’t suffered a major ankle injury during a fight scene with television veteran Zheng Ge Ping, who plays a crime boss in the series.

She ended up shedding tears of frustration and had to take painkillers for some time during filming.

“I was frustrated that I had a lot more action scenes that I have to do in a compromised state. I hated that because I told myself I am not going to use stuntmen for any of my shots … but because of the injury … some shots [were done] with the stuntmen,” said Rui En, who sounded more than a little disappointed.

Doing your own stunts while nursing an injury? Isn’t that a little hardcore?

“No it isn’t. I believe in being committed hundred percent, even if it’s for just 30 seconds on screen, I have to give like everything I have, if not, I just feel like I am cheating the audience.

“It’s just maybe a month or two of pain but what you film is going to last forever … so to me, it’s worth it,” she replied.

With shooting finally over, Rui En said she is looking forward to take a nice, relaxing break from work, as she had recently run into some “inner ear problems”.

“The doctors said it’s probably because of stress and lack of sleep, so I am going to take it easy,” she said.

“I have become a girly girl … So embarrassing!” said Rui-En, still sporting the hair extensions she got for her role at the “Unriddle” press event.

The actress had been involved in back-to-back drama projects since she played a happy-go-lucky girl in “Happy Family” earlier this year.

“I need a rest,” Rui En said, her face a mixture of weariness and relief.

“Unriddle” airs from August 4, every weeknight at 9pm on Channel 8.
