The upcoming Mediacorp drama Brighter Days marks Felicia Chin, 41, and Jeffrey Xu’s first drama as a married pair. The couple got married in October 2022 and have just celebrated their third wedding anniversary.
However, the person playing Chin’s love interest in the series is not her real-life husband.
The story follows Chin’s character, Fang Yi, who grew up with four neighbours. She plays both mother and daughter in the story and her character finds herself in a romantic storyline with Romeo Tan. Jeffrey Xu, 37, plays one of her four childhood friends, and is also Romeo Tan’s brother.
In an interview with Shin Min Daily News, Chin shared that she wasn’t used to facing her husband from her character’s point of view at first.
But once she got into character, she found their scenes quite enjoyable and appreciated Xu’s tempo and creativity.
It begs one to wonder, though, if it would be awkward for Xu to watch his wife play a couple with someone else.
