Tatler Asia dropped an exclusive interview spotlighting her lead role as Cola in the sizzling Hong Kong drama The Season, a high-society reimagining of Revenge where she channels a mixed Hong Kong-English vixen plotting her comeback—its glossy dissection of elite intrigue could cement her as a bridge between Western fantasy and Asian glamour, a biographical pivot worth watching.
