As sudden as it gets: This Ch8 drama sure lives up to its eponymous name

Sudden premiered with plenty of hype and promise: a new TV coupling (in Rui En and Romeo Tan), picturesque scenes filmed in Tasmania, new camera, refreshing angles and even a new story-telling format. While it deserves a ‘bravo’ for attempting the abovementioned factors, there lies an emotional disconnect between the drama and its viewer (aka its missing a spark).

It also left us confused. Unlike its grim and gritty doomsday-esque posters and impactful start (which left its male lead crippled for life), Sudden felt more like a romance-themed drama series than a legal drama TV series, what with the emphasis on its two leads’ relationship (chronicling it from their courtship to cohabitation days) from the start to end of each episode. Admittedly, its love line runs strong in the show, but its storyline(s) feels less cohesive in comparison.

Okay, enough of the technicalities. We put ‘Sudden’ into perspective and see where the show got its name from.

Dun dun dun, you’re in for a ride

Sudden ascension to #1 male lead: Romeo Tan

Romeo Tan had big shoes to fill and plenty to live up to in this show: in a span of three years, he went from second male lead to starring male lead (in Sudden). Tasked to carry the weight of the show with female lead Rui En, he had a steep learning curve piled on his plate – on top of having to put up a convincing romance with Rui En’s character – which is no easy feat. Let’s face it. It’s not his best performance to date (he’s had better shows and roles) but we don’t blame the actor for it. All he needs is time to mature. In fact, to cover up the awkwardness (or lack of chemistry) between the two of them, their relationship would have panned out better should their differences be addressed from the start.

For example, branding it as a May-December romance (i.e., a mature senior lawyer Chuning falling for her adorkable pupil Qiliang) would have made for a more acceptable alternative because putting them on the same pedestal, to say the least, felt hard to believe.

Sudden death of the show’s biggest star: Flapper

Six episodes on and we still find it hard to believe that Flapper –the lovable golden retriever who’d wag his tail when his masters are home, act dead and “pray” on command and even force the main couple (Chuning and Qiliang) to get their act together, kiss and make up when at cold war – is gone. As a pivotal plot device in this show, Flaps (as Chuning calls him) was the unlikely star of the show who stole our hearts with his every whimper and bark, and it was a pity he was gone too soon in the show (and in a span of 3 mins – yes we counted).

Sudden loss of innocence in the lawyers of this show

Instead of preserving the upright and pristine image of lawyers (as seen in most dramas), this show gave the law industry a tinge of realism by painting the grey side of its characters too. The scheming, underhanded and manipulative tactics resorted by the lawyers in these show –and specifically Zhang Zhenhuan’s character, Sun Dalun, a young hotshot lawyer who has no qualms breaking the rules of the game to win a case – felt more true to life.

Sudden (and uncalled for) cliché: Brain tumour

Lest you think the only unforeseen circumstance keeping Chuning and Qiliang apart is his inferiority complex (after he became disabled from the car accident), Chuning is stricken with advanced dementia (a hereditary disease passed down from her mother) which totally throws their relationship off the balance.

While the scenes featuring the mental and emotional breakdown of her character were some of the best parts in the show, is there a need to go down this path? Things are getting dramatic tonight, guys. Be prepared for the waterworks!

Sudden bromance which provided comic relief: Wentai and Shenghua

The group scenes involving Ian Fang (as Zhong Wentai), Yuan Shuai (as Lin Shenghua), Flapper, Rebecca, Romeo and Rui En’s characters at Ah Liang’s agency formed the liveliest bits of the show. We particularly enjoyed the dynamics displayed between Ian and Yuan Shuai in the early episodes which had their characters ganging up against their “sister in-law” Chuning. Frenemies? How cute.

Sudden level(s) up in episode 18 onwards

Are you serious, drama producers? The show finally wakes up from deep slumber, makes a 180-degrees turn from its unexciting start and morphs into a suspenseful crime thriller at episode 18. Now we’re talking! The pace tightens, the plot thickens, and dear show, you have finally got our attention.

And that’s some strong acting from Rui En as her character starts to lose her mind and her tough-cookie exterior crumbles with the onset of her disease and endless hallucinations… or not….

(EPISODE 20 SPOILER ALERT NEXT!)

Sudden collision between drama worlds; Sudden suddenly became good

We bet we aren’t the only one who feel this way: the final showdown between Rebecca and Rui En’s characters was definitely reminiscent of the duo’s final scene in Unriddle 2 last year – only creepier with the existence of a revengeful and psychotic twin (called Yixin). We might be stretching it but the final scene in episode 20 could have very well been a continuation of Unriddle 2, when a psychotic twin sister returns to seek revenge on the police officer Xiaoman. Okay, we’re stretching it…

Thankfully, the final three episodes made for a satisfying watch and a conclusive end to a story that started out weak – all sins have been forgiven, including the loss of Flapper. IF only it had maintained such strong pacing in its early episodes…

Are we going to have a 50 First Dates-esque sequel next?

日期: 25/09/2013 | 新闻来源: 早报逗号 | 记者: 陈珮雯

和别人发生冲突时，你会怎么办? 8频道剧集《骤变》演员们通过以下心理试题，测试他们面对突发的状况时，会怎么应对。

探星心

问题: 妈妈在抽屉里发现了你的账单，打电话质问你，为什么花的比赚的多?你的答案会是:

A) 只要是我喜欢的东西，我就不计较价钱，买下来的那一刻让我特别满足。
B) 我等下再打给你，车子马上就要过隧道了，信号不太好。
C) 我刚刚失恋，要给自己一点补偿。

瑞恩 学习多为人着想

答案: A

这种事不会发生在我身上，但若真要选择，我会选A这个实话实说的答案。是有人觉得我的个性强势，令他们望而却步。不过，和刚入行时相比，现在的我会提醒自己多为别人着想，不要那么自我。

说到应对突发状况，变化是人生的唯一定律，只能尽量适应。演艺圈这一行也充满变数，拍戏状况难以预测。至今遭遇过的“骤变”是听闻黄文永大哥逝世的消息。当时在拍《志在四方》，片场大家听闻消息后，心情都很沉重，但还是保持专业，继续工作。

Cover story Pages 224-229

瑞恩七不成事

冷若冰霜，高不可攀，这是许多人给瑞恩贴上的标签。不过正确来说，瑞恩并不冷，而是慢热。俊强认为，只要找对话题，瑞恩其实可以很健谈，而且还很温柔。

一不：不介意黑暗

拍《女友》封面，已成为瑞恩一年一度的平面媒体重头戏。

有整整一年没有看到瑞恩示范新装，这一回她更“开放”。当摄影师Wee Khim叫穿上短裙的她坐在地上搔首弄姿，瑞恩也毫不埋怨，乐意在镜头面前耍酷。

“我其实很喜欢拍时尚杂志。记得小时候，妈妈总会买美国版的《Vogue》，我每一期都不错过，看到喜欢的服装彩页就撕下来收藏。一直到现在，我还有经常翻看时尚杂志的习惯。最近看了《W》，很喜欢一辑吸血鬼的时装照，很edgy。我其实很偏爱黑暗和gothic的style。可惜本地市场比较保守，希望有一天可以尝试。”

《女友》这一期的封面照，造型师Johnny也尽量让瑞恩跳出框框。不过要公主“黑头黑脸”示众，会否担心粉丝接受不来？瑞恩笑说：“他们看惯了我漂亮美丽的模样，是时候变一变花样了。”

二不：不遗余力行善

谈到粉丝，瑞恩拥有一个永志不渝的后援会“瑞不可当”。不管是网络投选还是电话投票，只要是和偶像有关的活动，他们一定全力以赴。“他们其实很可爱，但有时也很‘奇怪’！”因为粉丝看到她本尊，竟然热不起来。“每次参加粉丝聚会，他们看到我总是紧紧张张的，我知道他们内心很兴奋，却没有表现出来，最后搞到我要来暖场自己当主持人，哈哈！”

对粉丝们的努力，瑞恩心存感激。接下来她希望粉丝能将精力花在慈善，和她一起献爱心。“我知道他们都很尽心尽力在各个奖项支持我。不过我告诉他们，与其花钱打电话，不如做善事。”今年的新年佳节，瑞恩就和粉丝一起行善，为不幸人士送年货。“我最近在跟会长安排，看看可否定期为慈善机构做善事。”

偶像落力为善，相信瑞恩的粉丝也会效仿为社会尽一分力。

三不：不敢当主持

我对瑞恩说，前阵子放假，一口气把《志在四方》“褒”完。她立刻问我：“好看吗？我最近一直在问记者的意见。”

告诉她，我喜欢那个没有在电视上播出的结局。不是戚玉武扮演的Jason选择了欧萱饰演的赵非儿，而是Jason谁也不选，继续留在国外寻梦。“我觉得如果播放第二个结局，观众应该不会开心。毕竟他们喜欢圆满的结局。如果给我选，我也会和你一样。”瑞恩说。

《志在四方》好评如潮，缔造好口碑，给电视台台前幕后人员打了一支强心针。“现在的电视观众有太多选择了，所以越来越难做。收到好的评语是很令人感到鼓舞的。我们需要鼓励，尤其是工作人员。”

那几个月“疯疯癫癫”的日子是瑞恩最开心的一段时间。“每天都期待上班，到了片场心情就很开朗，感觉不是在工作。打从一知道要演方彤琳这个角色，我就一直很雀跃，所以演的时候就豁出去，很没形象地去玩去闹。你知道吗，我其实希望开拍续集，我很希望演回彤琳！”

在剧中彤琳从幕后导播变成综艺主持人。看瑞恩在戏中“主持”现场节目喜感还不错。她会否考虑跨界当主持人？瑞恩立刻哈哈大笑，头一直摇。“我这个人很奇怪的，拍戏时尽量去演，一定把角色演得真实。记得拍主持节目那几场戏，在镜头前我还想过，其实当主持还蛮okçš„……不过想归想，如果要以瑞恩的身份去主持节目，我想我会很尴尬。我私下是没有什么东西讲的，大家一定会觉得我很闷！”

几年前瑞恩有小小“跨界”录制旅游节目，不过她觉得“怪怪的”。所以要看她在台上叫观众玩游戏，我想不可能。

四不：对不上李铭顺

近作《骤变》里，瑞恩回归熟悉的专业人士领域，是一名讲话尖锐爱拐外弯角的律师。“背台词的压力很大，尤其是站在很多人面前讲一大段专业名词，很考功力。还好之前演过警察，讲过很多技术性对白，所以懂得怎么处理，反而是感情戏不容易揣摩。”

瑞恩和陈罗密欧第一次搭档演情侣，而且是感情稳定的恋人。她对这位新轧小生评价如何？“众多新人中，他的态度最好。刚开始时他难免紧张，我尽量让他放松，让他舒服。”

在电视圈这些年，瑞恩几乎与所有新传媒小生交过手，包括很久没合作的荧幕情人黄俊雄、戚玉武、李南星、郑斌辉、陈汉玮、陈泓宇……唯独李铭顺。瑞恩一直和他无缘。“入行这么多年，我从来没跟李铭顺演过戏。我一直在等待这个机会。”

瑞恩喜欢和成熟的男对手合作，一来他们经验丰富，和他们对戏不用太多沟通，一拍起来就很有默契。“和资深演员合作可以学到很多东西，有机会用不同角度看事情。”

五不：不主动争取机会

第一次访问瑞恩，刚好在十年前。2002年，她以“芮恩”之名进军台湾，成为周杰伦的师妹，并当上他的主打歌《暗号》MV的女主角。隔年在台湾推出《白色羽毛》专辑，那次和她首次通电话，竟然是用英语交谈。

“读书时我很讨厌华文，几乎没有及格过，我的华文老师都很讨厌我。现在他们看到我用华文演戏，应该会取笑我吧。”

回想台湾打拼那段苦日子，瑞恩充满感慨。“我常讲，为什么我变成一个喜欢做功课的艺人，就是因为当年到台湾发片前没做好准备，结果跳进大海，差一点淹死！我很佩服自己，一个不会讲华语的人，竟然敢敢跑去台湾发片。所以我告诉自己，一定要做功课，随时随地准备好自己。”

和一些艺人不同，瑞恩求学时从来没发过明星梦。当年当兼职模特，纯粹为了赚钱，没想到阴差阳错踏入演艺圈。“我的人是这样的，机会一来就会把握，可我不会伸手去争取。刚好机会来到，我就尝试咯。”

就像近年来，不少本地艺人出走到中国找机会，瑞恩却不为所动，安守狮城。“很多人都不知道，新加坡的娱乐圈环境比较单纯。在那边的娱乐圈，女生是需要付出代价的。如果要这样牺牲自己，我宁可不要这个机会。”像瑞恩这样“守身如玉”的女艺人，不知有几个？

六不：不否认欣赏王家卫

瑞恩不是没有进取心，只要是新鲜，没尝试过的工作，她都乐意挑战。不过她就是很被动。比如说拍电影，许多艺人趋之若鹜，瑞恩却坚持原则，没有好剧本和好角色就不拍。“不是我挑剔，我不会为了做而做。我倒是比较想花时间创作剧本，希望可以朝导演方向发展。”

这一点瑞恩和方彤琳的确有点相似。不知道王家卫是不是瑞恩的头号偶像？她笑得特别大声。“我是欣赏王家卫的，不过我没有像方彤琳那么痴狂！我是电影发烧友，看电影时会注意导演的取景和拍摄角度。我在诠释角色时也爱加盐添醋，把看电影的想法和灵感加入角色，使它更丰富。”王家卫近作《一代宗师》，瑞恩就买票捧场两次。“不愧是大师，对白写得很精彩，虽然很深奥。”

身为电影发烧友，瑞恩来者不拒，什么类型的电影都看。“我常常拉朋友去看一些莫名其妙的电影，之后他们就会骂我。跟我做朋友，就要忍受我的‘职业病’。”

让瑞恩着迷的除了王家卫，还有法国导演Jean-Pierre Jeunet和奥斯卡影后Marion Cotillard。“我是看了《Amélie》后爱上这个导演。之后的《A Very Long Engagement》镜头运用得太美了，是我心头之爱。Marion Cotillard则是我一路以来的偶像，她演什么像什么。法国电影制作认真，演员演技精湛。可惜本地戏院不常放映，我只有在搭飞机时才有机会看。”

原来瑞恩小时候就开始“崇洋”了。瑞恩当年学法文，是觉得法国话听起来在唱歌，很好听。“我自己跑去法国文化学会Alliance Francaise报名上课，开始觉得有趣，后来越念越难，最后就逃学放弃了，唉！”

七不：不鼓励整形

谈到法国，当地知名品牌L’Oreal就来敲门，要瑞恩代言护肤品。她第一个感觉是受宠若惊。“我小时候是男人婆，中学时期总是嫌自己不够美，为什么不能像校内其它美女那样有女人味？”

这种想法持续了很久，直到入行当上演员，瑞恩还是很自卑。“最近才相通，为什么要这样‘折磨’自己？为什么不能接纳自己？我又不是韩星，不是标致美女，我就是我。所以当厂商找我，我当然很开心啦！”

近年来韩流兴起，女生不满意自己的长相，纷纷去整形。这个趋向，瑞恩不赞同。“很多年轻女生觉得，要改变自己的样子才是完美的，我觉得是错误的。你可以‘做’到很美，但你未必感觉很美，为什么要改变自己的样子？”

谈到老化，瑞恩更是一笑置之。“我不怕老，反而期待自己慢慢变成熟。现在的我比以前更能接受自己，也能放下很多事情。我想是自己成熟了。”

顿了顿，她作出一个懊恼的表情。“我不懂为什么现在的社会那么抗拒老化。尤其是女生，‘老’简直像是一个粗话。我真的不明白，随着年纪变大，你整个人越来越成熟，这不好吗？”

32岁的瑞恩，已慢慢做好准备，优雅地老去。你，也会跟随她吗？

不可能的可能

瑞恩.陈罗密欧

塔斯马尼亚 独家直击

《骤变》塔斯马尼亚9日拍摄，他和她奉旨谈情说爱制造浪漫。

回到戏里5年前的邂逅，那个只有他们的世界，一字一句一举一动，暧昧甜蜜滋长中，美好得很动人。

原以为戏外独来独往酷酷的她会秉持一贯”各自精彩”的作风，岂料…两条平行线原来也有交汇的一天，冰山终有被劈开之时。人生，其实没有这么多以为。

文: 黄敏玮

咖啡座避雨取暖，5分钟闲聊。求上镜好看、才穿3层的陈罗密欧，很得意地偷笑身上囊着5、6层冬衣的瑞恩像个肉粽一个，“你看她包到这么圆！哈哈哈。”

-莎拉曼卡市集(Salamanca Market)开工，瑞恩趁几分钟空档发挥口中的“女人本色”，认真逛街，结果越逛越远，陈罗密欧第一时间叫得大大声：“Minion！找你！”

-瑞恩牧羊场上单脚立换靴，陈罗密欧连忙扶着，但不忘调侃一番：“乖，穿鞋！我们去gai gai！”听到难以站稳的瑞恩“啊”声不断，他又调皮假装帮孕妇生产：“啊~加油！”

-摄影师一拍陈罗密欧，就必须花好一段时间对焦，唔，据说是因为他五官太立体，有一定难度。冷不防一旁的瑞恩“酸”他，“有人整容啦！”眼镜简直碎一地。冰山公主被对手开玩笑，亦会开对手玩笑？怎。么。可。能？

诸如此类情景前所未见，就算是去年随瑞恩与戴向宇澳门拍摄《微笑正义》，亦只见一喊卡两人就向左走向右走各忙各的场面。

“我就是这样讲话的，哈，她很习惯了。大概觉得我是个rude kid吧！”陈罗密欧说。

才不信他Day 1就敢如此任意妄为。事前必定老早拟定好“备战策略”吧？

“之前听大家说，她是独来独往的，我也是这么觉得，所以很紧张，每天都在想：怎么做彼此才会更舒服一点？也不敢乱跟她讲话和玩，刚开始会比较小心一点，很客气，客气到不像情侣的感觉。我觉得她也感觉到我很紧绷，不敢做一些东西，所以她会主动帮我。后来，我习惯了她做工的方式，我一习惯一个人，pattern就开始出来了，会跟她讲废话开玩笑，她也会对我翻白眼。一来一往，就比较舒服了。

我们拍戏一overnight就会变很high，她会用印度腔讲话，很好笑。之前‘Despicable Me’的minions她很喜欢，我们就一直笑一直笑，用minions的语言‘banana banana’这样讲话。她ok啦，没有我想象中、也没有别人形容中的那么冷。”

从来没吃闭门羹？

“我也是会看她的肢体语言的啦，从她给的眼神，会知道：不要去烦她！又或者如果我try玩一下，没有反应我就bye！走掉咯！So far so good，她没有怎么样！”

谈她，从头到尾满满感激。

“她真的帮了我很多。有时NG太多次害到她，我会很内疚担心，因为她得重演，但她每次都是：‘不要紧，再来一次’，没有给我压力。如果要的话，她可能给一个脸弄一些声音，我就很可能会更糟更紧张。但她一直很帮我，我的自信也因此慢慢建立起来。”

瑞恩不只一次私下探问：“他跟你说了我什么坏话？”

好奇心不免被挑起，究竟她为何如此在意，到底有什么话可以让他讲…

“哈，不是啦。他说话有时候太直，不过他没有恶意的。他比较不会想：万一得罪她，万一说错话，怎么办？其他人就比较会小心。他是这么天真的一个人，在演艺圈也算难得啦。

有一次，我、怡霏跟他在拍法庭戏，他突然问我：为什么你没有Twitter、Facebook、Instagram？我就说，因为我觉得这些东西让生活很复杂。我不要，我的生活已经够复杂了，我不希望花时间在post这个写那个。因为艺人身份，你必须想：Post这个会不会怎样？必须很小心。他就冒出一句话，而且是很认真的：是不是你的era是没有这些东西的？Era咧！用中文说是‘时代’，意思就是说我很老啦！我跟怡霏就酸了他半个钟头：是咯，我们的era要on course去学怎么上Instagram！他都不敢出声，只是坐在那边一直笑，笑到耳朵都红了，哈哈。他就是一个这样的人，我还真的不知道他会冒出什么东西，有时还蛮担心他会跟记者讲什么。我有劝他，以后跟记者讲话，请不要这样，至少要先想了才讲。”

眼中的他，是个单纯男孩，“跟他，其实有一点点像在哄小孩。”

劝新人？哄小孩？！真的不像她会做的事。

“他是个比较特殊的状况，其实一开始我已经知道这次对他来讲是一个很大的挑战。他也有跟我说，跟我对，他的压力更大，虽然我不是故意的。以前我会觉得，我就拍好我的戏，其他东西不要去管，但人越成熟，就会放下一些自己。以前的我算是比较自我，现在我会把自己放在别人的角度去看，我可以了解他第一次当第一男主角，又是跟我对戏，压力很大，每天看到它，他都一直在瘦。所以我就决定：Ok，我需要帮他，尽量让他舒服一点。能帮就帮，我也没有想要得到什么回报。可以帮到新人，给一些advice，是一件好事。”

是乐在其中的。

手捧热饮料在农场木屋外欣赏风景，古桥上坐着凝望水面…沿途一有时间，瑞恩便“消失”一阵子，享受美景与独处时间。

“太美了，真的。开工的第一天，我就这么觉得，开始哭，他们全都以为是因为我被风刺到眼睛，哈哈。”

下一个目的地，锁定在几年前曾经到访，美得也让她落泪的巴黎。

这几年档期爆满，几乎零缝隙休息，可能吗?

“接下来要等《警徽天职3》开拍，大概有几个月，休息时间应该是有史以来最长的。也是我要求的的啦，因为我也觉得要停下来，重新找一些灵感。是时候充电，我需要让自己进步。我还是给自己那么大的压力，而观众对我的要求跟期望也越来越高。”

三樽视后奖座，有一定重量，“《最火搭档》，已经到了那样的境界，怎样去超越，对我来说是一个挑战。我也跟《最火》的故事人聊过，我们也算是朋友啦，他也会觉得，自己已经写了一个这样的剧本，让很多人印象深刻，怎么去超越，是很大的压力。

从新人到有知名度到比较红，不同阶段会有不同挑战，不是你已经红了、有一个status了，就会没有压力，反而是有更大压力的。很多人都希望可以把你打倒。这是当然的，人都是这样子的。我尽量不要去想，但旁边的人会提醒。”

活得潇洒什么都不care？难啦，当红花旦如她，也有顾虑担忧。

“没有什么是永远的，也没有什么是确定的啦，除了死亡和税务。”

与瑞恩的9日相处，还有这些发现…

~“Sandy，I love you！You must be tired！”她用近乎唱歌的可爱调调，对赶羊后、跑得很喘得牧羊犬说。是爱狗之人，但碍于与怕狗的婆婆住在一起，未能落实养狗梦。

~怕冷的她，这次花了上千元网购冬装。“因为上次拍《未来不是梦》，拍到很痛苦，那是第一次去有下雪的地方，我根本不知道应该买什么，钱也不多，也不怎么舍得花，去到那边可以传达6、7层，还是冷死。所以这次，我决定我不要痛苦了。”闲话家常时会大力推销很保暖的鹅毛大衣，亦会打探我脚上的靴子到底暖不暖耐不耐，哈，很女人咯。

~谈逛街，她的眼睛永远闪闪发光。途经市集某摊位其实没多久，就已买下熏衣草暖暖熊，哇，高手！她笑称shopping不为自己，“几年前年级比较小，我买的东西都是给自己的，一大箱都是我自己的东西，现在大了，会到处看有没有东西可以买给别人。就像刚才买的暖暖熊，就是买给婆婆的，因为她的腰部是很好。”

~开工第一日，已到处换澳币。不会吧，钱这么快就花光？“我都没有买什么东西，虽然我昨天太累不想跟他们出去吃，叫了room service啦。我到现在还搞不懂钱花到哪里去了，哈哈，可能放在房间？”她一脸疑惑。原来她，也有迷糊的时候。

适逢陈罗密欧NG、台词念不好的时候。爱开玩笑的监制对他说：“斌辉来了！” – 剧组最爱跟他开的玩笑，意思是：要换不NG的阿哥当男主角了！

虽然瑞恩事后悄悄透露：“哎呀，酸他，表示剧组已经把他当自己人了。最主要是，大家看到他是认真的，没有在玩。”

Story: Sarah Chang

Tas-manic!

Even after 11 days in Tasmania where they

a) shot romantic scenes for Ch 8 drama Sudden,
b) braved the freezing cold together, and
c) snapped countless couple-y selfies,

Romeo Tan and Rui En aren’t really pals.

The Tourists: It’s Romeo Tan and Rui En’s first time in Tasmania – hence the actor’s ‘I have arrived!’ pose.

Sibling revelry: Tasmania may be cold but was it colder than the very cool Rui En? “No lah, the trip was very relaxed, and by then we had already filmed together for a while, so I felt comfortable enough to tease her and tell her jokes,” says Romeo, who adds that the actress is more like a “big sister” than a friend. Have they kept in touch since wrapping the drama? “No, I have her number, but I know her style. She’s not very ‘social’, so I try not to disturb her,” he tells us.

Love stinks: This is where Romeo declares his love to Rui En in the drama. But the stars remember the moment differently. “Rui En thought it was very smelly ‘cos we were stepping on sheep poo, but I was so immersed in our romance and the beautiful scenery that the smell didn’t affect me,” says Romeo.

Self love: Rui En may not have an Instagram account but you can still find her on the social media app…thanks to @romeotan. “I was quite surprised that she didn’t mind taking selfies with me and even allowed me to post the photos. Of course I sought her permission before posting lah,” he tells us.

I’ll be bak: Rui En was nicknamed ‘Bak Chang’ during the trip ‘cos she was always wrapped up in thick winter clothing. “The average temperature was 10°C, but it drops to -2°C in the morning and night,” says Romeo who adds that he and Rui En would often whine to each other about the cold.

Boo to Rui En and Romeo Tan’s odd coupling on the legal drama, Sudden. We don’t buy them as an item because Romeo looks more scared than enamoured of the more worldly-wise Rui En. Their lacklustre, cringe-worthy bond is echoed in one telling sense where they reminisce about their courtship days. Rui En’s big shot lawyer says she found Romeo’s character childish back then. “I didn’t want to get into a relationship with a boy,” she recalls. We couldn’t have said it better.

Rui En is currently starring as the lawyer Chen Chu Ning on the channel 8 drama Sudden. We loved her previous role as Fang Tong Lin on The Dream Makers and we were hoping her new role was just as cutesy (we almost tracked-in, craned up and tilted down into the interview).

Sadly, Rui En shared that her role as a lawyer is the complete opposite, “My fans will be, ‘This is back to what she is used to doing’.”

She added that the role is a professional role, so she couldn’t possibly be a “cartoon lawyer”.

Back to singing?

Seeing that Romeo Tan sang the theme song for Sudden, Rui En shared that she would be happy to sing a theme song in the future if she is given the chance. She also sang a snippet of Olivia Ong’s ‘You And Me’ in the show. It’s a pity that the song is unavailable in digital format due to copyright issues.

Rui En also said that there weren’t any concrete plans at the moment to release another album. However, she revealed that she missed singing as it was a “different method of expression” compared to acting, which is her main focus at this point.

The actress also did a special quiz for the Mid-autumn festival! Check out the video to find out what her favourite mooncake is and what question made her laugh.
