Q+A

Your favorite virtue?

I'm forgetful, and I tend to see that as a virtue. It's my way of decompressing. Even when I'm clear-minded, I may pretend to be at a loss. Not only do I benefit from it, but those around me also benefit from it.

Your favorite qualities in a man?

A sense of responsibility.

Your favorite qualities in a woman?

Kind-hearted and considerate.

What you appreciate the most in your friends?

Simplicity.

If not yourself, who would you be?

My dad. He has led a simple life and gained more happiness than I have.

Your heroes in real life?

Those people who play small roles in my projects, those who have to juggle career and a hard life.

The natural talent you'd like to be gifted with?

A higher ability of aesthetic appreciation.

If there is one thing you want to change about yourself, what would it be?

Indecisiveness. It has given me a lot of good things, but also a lot of bad things. I may provide several options for acting out a scene, and I tremble at the thought of picking out merchandise in a supermarket.
