In fact, despite winning multiple awards over the past few years, the local star is still humble and appreciative of every step.
The actress will be up against Taiwanese actresses Sylvia Chang (A Light Never Goes Out), Tsai Hsuan-yen (Incantation), Hong Kong model-actress Angela Yuen (The Narrow Road) and Chinese actress Cya Liu (Limbo).
The awards ceremony will take place on 19 November.
Singapore-Korean Co-Production Ahjoomma
This isn’t the first time Singaporean actors appear in K-dramas. In fact, a few scenes in Little Women were shot in Singapore.
But Ahjoomma will be following a Singaporean lead throughout the whole film.
Directed by He Shuming, the Korean and Mandarin-language film tells the story of a Singaporean housewife who’s obsessed with Korean drama. She then takes her first trip overseas to Seoul and embarks on a journey of self-discovery after getting lost.
The film will also be He’s first feature directorial debut and the local filmmaker has also been nominated at the Golden Horse Awards for Best New Director.
