It has been 15 years since the Channel 8 blockbuster drama The Little Nyonya, and its heart-throb Dai Xiangyu feels the passage of time. The 38-year-old actor – previously known as Dai Yangtian – who played Japanese photographer Yousuke Yamamoto in the original...
He says: “I don’t really make friends with other actors because it’s a complicated circle to be in. But I’m pretty sentimental, and I remember everyone I work with, including all the directors I worked with in Singapore. When I can, I do ask after people I know and check in on what they’re doing now.”
When asked if he lets his wife know about any intimate scenes he has to shoot, Dai shakes his head. He has been married to Chen, 45, since 2016 and the couple do not plan on having children.Yelena Shaw says their chemistry and friendship made Sisterhood an easier shoot.Shaw, who is in Singapore for the first time, says with a laugh: “There aren’t really any intimate scenes anyway. We’re playing a couple, but it’s not really the kind of story with a lot of kisses and physical touches.
Sisterhood is centred on the story of samsui women who sailed from their hometown of Sanshui to seek work as manual labourers in 1930s Singapore.To prepare for the series, Shaw visited Sanshui a month before filming began to visit the port these women would set sail from and the temple they prayed at before leaving. Shaw felt little external pressure portraying unique stories of early Singaporeans, be it Nonyas or samsui women.
