- One of her favorite roles has been that of Silver Dart Shi as she loved her character’s personality, where a masculine female character was portrayed, that is a sharp contrast to the usual norm in the entertainment industry, where female actors are valued more for their appearance than for their talent, and she felt it a complete honor to play her.
