12of 15Over the Moon (2020)NetflixAs Mrs. Zhong, Oh was able to reunite with director, writer and friend Audrey Wells to help share the story of Fei Fei, a young girl who tried to build a rocket to meet a mythical moon goddess. The two had previously worked together on filmsGuinevere(1999) andUnder the Tuscan Sun(2003) before coming together to celebrate Asian culture in Wells' latest project. Mrs. Zhong was Fei Fei’s stepmom, a refreshing character who opens up a different type of family dynamic when it comes to seeing Asian families on screen.“The storytelling is changing,” Oh said during an interview with theAssociated Press. “Mrs. Zhong fulfills a couple of different roles. One being in some ways the foil or the obstacle for the main character of Fei Fei because she doesn’t want her life to change. That’s one of the lessons of the film. And the second part is, is the normalization — and particularly in the Asian community — of blended family.“She continued: “We don’t really talk about it that much and we don’t really see it … I was really happy with that. It’s not an evil stepmother trope. It’s actually, the reality of a blended family in different cultures exists, so let’s see it.”
