In an interview with Singapore's media outlet Today, the actress spoke about the fact that she has acted with so many handsome men.
"To be honest, when I was young, I didn't know that the actors I was working with were good looking until a lot of people around me told me that I was really lucky to be working with a lot of handsome actors," she said. "But now I definitely know my onscreen partners are good looking."
If singer-actor Rain does decide to take the role, it won't be the first time that the two acted together. They appeared in a 2008 music video "Love Story."
"The Time I Loved You, 7,000 Days" is based on a popular Taiwanese drama "In Time With You." It's about the places where love and friendship overlap and can hamper each other.
