Despite her long career, the former TVB star admits that baring skin onscreen is quite uncommon for her. She adds: “Terence’s character in the show is someone really sleazy, a really terrible person who must make the audience feel very uncomfortable. But filming the scene was okay. I had done fittings and knew I’d be wearing (a black negligee), and I was confident that whatever we did was necessary and in service to the plot.” Still, there are scenes that rightfully terrified Hsuan, such as one in which Lee, who plays May’s husband, slaps, demeans and attempts to rape her during an argument. “Even when you know it’s acting and you know you are safe, it’s scary. It’s important to be in those feelings so your fear is authentic. I had a great scene partner in Chris and almost all of our scenes together were completed in one take,” she says. While the two stars have admired each other’s work for a long time, Kill Sera Sera is the first time they are acting opposite each other. It is also a return to home-grown dramas for both. Lee, 52, is based in Taiwan for work and his last local series was After The Stars (2019), while Hsuan’s last project with Mediacorp was 2011’s Bountiful Blessings. Hsuan had not been to Singapore in at least five years prior to filming Kill Sera Sera. “Everything here is so much more expensive now. I feel that way just observing the prices at the supermarket.” Lee, however, is always glad to be back. While he took on this role for its boundary-pushing script and the chance to work with Hsuan and Wen, the series also allowed him to be close to home, as his Singaporean actress-wife Fann Wong and their nine-year-old son Zed live here.
