Playing a man is easy, says body-swapping Rui En in new drama Mister Flower
Information technology'southward been a while since we've seen the good old body-swapping trope on television, but Rui En is bringing it back in her latest drama, Mister Flower.
Thanks to a deity played by Liu Ling Ling, whose job it is to alter securely flawed people for the better, a chauvinistic man (Shane Pow) finds himself stuck in the torso of a adult female played by Rui En.
But it'due south not only a elementary body bandy, Rui En explained at a Facebook Alive printing conference to promote the drama on Thursday (Dec 17).

Her character is really a supernatural spirit. "Liu Ling Ling is my boss, and she uses me to amend people'due south characters," Rui En said. "When nosotros recollect of possession, we think of a spirit entering a trunk, but here, the person's soul lives in my body."
So, dissimilar from the usual, and then. In fact, her body gets passed around to different people – later on in the show, a graphic symbol played by Hong Ling, who'southward a flake of a shallow bimbo consummate with dyed-blonde hair and coloured contacts, also finds herself in Rui En's trunk.
Hither is where it gets interesting. Playing a man inside, Rui En said, was actually a walk in the park. "In fact, playing Hong Ling'south character was the most challenging," she divulged.
That'southward because "I'm quite a band-aid girl," explained the actress, who has ever described herself every bit a fleck of a tomboy growing upward.
"Since I was immature, I've been very gender-neutral. So, playing a man was comparatively relaxing. Merely, Hong Ling's character is only so bimbotic. To be honest, I really detest that character," she quipped.
She hastened to add together that the grapheme was "beautiful and humorous in her ain way", merely "of all the scenes in the prove, the ones in which I had to play her were the virtually challenging".
The graphic symbol in question falls for Elvin Ng in his role as a rich, handsome and suave concern magnate – who also happens to exist a complete playboy – and tries to use her feminine wiles to win his centre.
Merely, it's revealed, he actually feels a deep romantic connection to spirit-Rui En.
#Ruivin fans will be glad to note that the ii actors are finally playing lovers again, afterwards an eight-twelvemonth hiatus – their last pairing was in 2012's Code Of Honour.
"I've always admired and respected her," said a directly-faced Elvin earlier quipping, "After all, she's my senior."
"Hey! I think y'all're one year older than me," Rui En responded, adding, "We are a bit similar an one-time married couple – and we squabble a lot."
"We are both straight-talking people. I remember we are quite like in character," Elvin said.
Yes, well, "People who are besides similar don't brand a proficient couple," Rui En shot back.
At present, that'southward the kind of chemistry that'southward made them one of local TV's favourite on-screen pairings.
