Extracts of the press-con segment can be found in various interview from Xinmsn & Toggle Tap.
Against the Tide held a press conference on 19 Sept, followed by a roadshow on 20 Sept. It was one of the biggest (one)-drama roadshow as it was attended by all 8 regular casts (Chris Lee, Rui En, Desmond Tan, Carrie Wong, Xu Bin, Zheng Ge Ping, Zhang Zhen Huan & Paige Chua) and 4 of the "story" casts (Shane Pow, Yuan Shuai, James Seah, Bonnie Loo). This was the first drama roadshow that Chris attended after filming in Taiwan for the past 2 years and we all knew Rui En hardly attended any drama roadshows. I was actually waiting for Today Online to post the press conference segment on their Youtube Channel, but I guess they only decided to release an interview of the casts doing a voting of "Who is most likely a psycho amongst the casts?" Disappointed, but at least we get to see the fun side of Rui En; and her friendship with Carrie. Extracts of the press-con segment can be found in various interview from Xinmsn & Toggle Tap. Photos from Toggle FB Another reason for delay is Channel 8's efficiency in uploading those photos taken during the roadshows to their Facebook page. The photos turned out disappointing (especially after the long wait) but we can really count on those Fan-clubs and Fans who took higher-definition photos and uploading them timely.

Against the Tide (逆潮) released its 1st heart-pounding trailer and boy, it looks exciting! Quoting a sentence from the trailer:- Di Shen (Chris Lee): When you were describing the murder scenes a while ago, it felt as though you became the murderer." Comment: Qiu Xue Qing (Rui En) may not be as angelic as it was given to us in the profiles or maybe the scenes were referring to Xue Qing's supernatural power where she can feel her patients (the murderer) through hypnotism. Updated (19/09/14) English Trailer: Characters description from Toggle Now App:
Life Is Beautiful (初一的心愿) is a collaboration between MediaCorp and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF), hopes to be able to raise awareness of kidney-related diseases and encourage the common folk to pay more attention to their kidney health. The story follows Shen Chuyi (Rui En), a bright young girl who is suddenly stricken with both kidney failure and the accidental death of her best friend, Cai Jiayi (Esther Yang). She eventually learns how to conquer her illness and find happiness again, with the help of the latter’s fiancé, Yu Yang (Pierre Png). Rui En plays the main character, Shen Chu Yi, a kidney patient with a sunny and positive personality who is nicknamed “Healthy Baby” because of her fixation with having a healthy lifestyle. Rui En, who plays a classic good girl, shared that her challenge would be to bring some humanity to a potentially too-perfect character. “The role is written very positive. It’s written very sunshine. It’s just a very likable role. She puts everyone else first. She nags all the people around her to eat healthy: Less sugar, less salt, less everything. But for me, I’m more interested in making the role real. I’m more interested in making it relatable rather than popular. And so that will be my challenge because she’s perfect,” the actress said. Pierre Png plays Yu Yang who lost his girlfriend, Cai Jiayi, through an accident. Although Pierre plays Rui En’s love interest, he said: “The love story is secondary.” The primary thing, he said, is to “tell the real story” of people who have to watch their loved ones suffer health issues. This is the 6th collaboration between Rui En & Pierre after Passion and Honour, A tale of two cities, The In-laws, CLIF 2 & 3. Allen Chen plays Ding Zhan Peng, Chuyi's boyfriend Jeffrey Xu plays Lin Zhong Ken, a fitness instructor who is good friend with Chuyi & Yuyang. He has a love line with Cai Jiajia (Yahui), Jiayi's younger sister. Link Chen Shu Cheng & Lin Mei Jiao play the parents of Jiajia & Jiayi. Ian Fang plays a young stroke patient, Zaizai. Fang 姐 (Cynthia Koh) is like Chuyi's counselor whom gives her advice whenever she ran into problem. She takes care of Zaizai's & Fei'zai (Cavin Soh)'s diet. Hong Hui Fang plays Yuyang's biological mom, Lin Shao Ping, a career women. Sora Ma plays Ann her secretary (?) Against the Tide (逆潮)drops 1st teaser featuring Rui En. Brief translation: “Everything happens for a reason… For every crime, there is a motive… Greed? Or hatred? Perhaps… It all boils down to (a person’s) humanity…” Against The Tide is a psychological thriller written by local screenwriter Peng Kai Yi(Unriddle 1 & 2, Metamorphosis) which explores the struggles and darkness of humanity. Debuts on 24th September 2014 after Spice Up. Rui En plays Qiu Xueqing (Dr Snow), a psychologist.

Her special ability helps to speed up investigations for Di Shen (Christopher Lee) and Jianfeng (Desmond Tan). As the investigations progress, feelings develops between Xueqing and Di Shen and they become a couple. Jianfeng, who hides his love for Xueqing, is heartbroken. But what disgusts him is Xueqing’s continual trust in Di Shen, despite all evidence pointing to him as the suspect.
