A lot of thought was also put into her styling so that Aimee could switch between her two roles easily. Because of her many action scenes, her hairstyle was carefully chosen to avoid the need of a wig and it was eventually decided that she would shave her hair at both sides of her head. She hadn't filmed a show for nine years, and admitted she felt stressed during the initial period. "I remember we filmed more than 10 scenes on the first day. After that, I shot many scenes continuously for the next four or five days.

I couldn't sleep or eat during that period, it was as if I was going through a heartbreak," recalled Aimee.
