Comments
“I learnt a lot from the other singers and actors at the show. The theme was dark, but I thoroughly enjoyed acting the nasty daughter. I felt sorry for her in a way but she is a twisted character and the ending of the story was scary. I loved working with the whole team of “THE鍵KEY” project and I am truly honoured to be part of this project. Thank you very much for choosing me.”
