OUAT Star Speaks Out on Gay Reveal

Mulan and Aurora shippers, prepare to feel some feels. 

Back in October, Once Upon a Time stunned viewers when they revealed that Mulan (Jamie Chung) was gay and in love with Princess Aurora (Sara Bolger). The twist was  a welcome surprise as some viewers believed the warrior was in love with Prince Phillip (Julian Morris), but a majority of fans had hoped for a Mulan-Aurora romance. And when we chatted with Chung at the 2014 Winter TCA Press Tour, she told us how "glad" she was when the ABC fantasy hit's creative team decided to go there with Mulan's storyline. 

"When I was filming that, it was like an ongoing inside joke between Sara and I. Like, 'I secretly really care about you,' Chung recalled. "And the audience as well, there was this conspiracy online, like, 'Mulan loves Aurora!' And I'm really glad that the writers listened because I really do think that's what they planned from the beginning. They're all about twists and like, why not? It felt so natural to begin with."
