Thanks to Erica for the heads up.
Jamie Chung: 'Once Upon A Time' Gets Really Dark
ETonline: What appealed to you about playing Mulan on Once Upon A Time?
Jamie Chung: Well, it's just an incredible show. It is so bizarre and nuts and wonderful, and to be a part of the fairytale storyline with the two female leads, who I just adore, has been so fun. Almost every other week I got to roll in the hay with Ginnifer Goodwin. I love that although there's a reference point for my character, you still have the freedom to make up a story. To play this strong female woman warrior, who is fun and a tough ass but loyal like a samurai is so fun to play.
ETonline: We know Mulan's backstory from other sources, but will we see any of that on OUAT?
Chung: You'll see a snippet of her past. Everything ties in very nicely this season, I'll say that.
ETonline: What are you excited for the fans to see this season?
Chung: I can't give away a lot, but it gets stranger and darker. People are going to think we're a cable show with how dark it gets. The dream [that Henry and Aurora share] is hugely important to the rest of the season. We discover that we can use to our benefit – but then, whatever can be used for good can also be used for evil. That's a big theme in the next two episodes. What was once good can be used for evil, and vice versa. It's really important to keep that in mind over the next two weeks.

Well this has me excited! I always love weird in between universes/realities! Nice to know that a little bit of the character's past ties in and will be revealed, as I generally like Mulan and would like to see more development from her. Dark and strange FTW!
ReplyDeleteShe seems to be very humble and down to earth.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind rolling in the hay with Ginnifer Goodwin either.
ReplyDeleteEvery time someone mentions OUaT and cable, I wonder how much more awesome this show would be if it aired on HBO. Not complaining, just random thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSame here. I love that I'm able to watch this show with my whole family, but I can't help imagine how better Once would be if it indeed aired on HBO. I would easily trade 22 episodes into 10 if it meant it would get better. Season 2 has really let me down so far after the awesomeness that was season 1.
