ABC's fantasy drama, "Once Upon A Time" will be casting former "Real World" Alum, and "Hangover 2" actress Jamie Chung as Chinese maiden turned heroine, Mulan.

According to TV Line, Chung's character will have a recurring role throughout season 2 of the series. Sleeping Beauty will also be making an appearance in "Storybrooke," played by Irish actress Sarah Bolger. "Lost" star, Emilie De Ravin, Belle, and Meghan Ory, Red Riding Hood, have been promoted as season regulars.

Season 2 of "Once Upon A Time" is bound to be just as mystifying as Season 1, which ended with the citizens of Storybrooke regaining their memories.

You'd think Chung would be more comfortable with the fellas since she was a part of guy-centric comedy the "Hangover 2," but think again.

To be honest with you, I'm more of a girl's girl. I'm much more comfortable being around other girls. Really, the Hangover guys are so talented and funny that they're intimidating, almost scary to be around. And I'm the only female cast member, you know? [laughs] But they've all been great," she reported to Interview Magazine.

Because her parents are much older, and conservatives, the oriental beauty had to escort them out of the theater for the premiere of "Hangover 2," before the raunchy end credits began rolling.

Oh, man, they're so frail and much older now, I think they'd be completely shocked. I'll have escort them out of the theater right before the end credits, when everyone sees the slideshow, because I feel that's the most shocking thing. It definitely doesn't disappoint all the fans who are looking forward to this film. But my parents, at their age, they're in their 60s and 70s. I'll have to scoot them out of there before they see the pictures. Or they'd be proud of me. I'm not one of the lady-boys. I think they'd be happy about that.
