Many viewers were surprised. They reveled at the actresses’ reunion. The TikTok video has garnered over 2 million views as of this writing.
In an interview with 8days, Oh stated, “I thought I did okay when I saw it eight years ago. But now that I'm rewatching it again, at the start, I did find it cringey. But the more I see [the scene], the more I become immune to it, because the cringe part doesn't affect me anymore."
"I think everybody has a side that is louder and ruder, it's just whether or not you'll show that side on a daily basis. So, while I was acting that role, I really let go and became the ah lian that I can find deep inside me,” she added.
