She plays Gem, an ex-girlfriend of the character played by Tay, who still holds a torch for him. She not only vies with Zoe for his affections but she also gets to heat up the screen with Tay in scorching love scenes which earned the studio crew's admiration and envy. In fact, Hong had to shoot the love scenes in her very first meeting with Tay. His jokes smoothed out the awkwardness between us and provided me with more confidence to wrap up the shoot. In a phone interview with Shin Min, Hong, a Malaysia Art Academy graduate, admitted modestly that many people here and across the Causeway have noted her likeness to Shu Qi and especially so after her performance in Knotty Liaisons.
