Ali Wong is opening up about the «big left turn» she had to take for her new Netflix series, . Speaking to ET's Denny Directo at the show's premiere Thursday night, Wong said she was lucky to have a co-star like Steven Yeun to get her through it. «I did but it was really not that bad what we went through,» Wong said of reports that she broke out in hives and cried while filming the show. «I didn't break anything, you know?

But it was definitely -- it's a big left turn for me, and I'm really lucky that I had a co-star like Steven who's so warm and so giving, and we've become such good friends.»The stand-up comic continued, «And then Sonny (Lee Sung Jin) too, my God, like, I can't imagine doing all of this with people who you know aren't them.

It's been like a beautiful journey, and no matter what happens with the show, I always say that -- however people receive it, those friendships that I got with Steven, Sonny, and Jake and the rest of the cast, is like the best outcome.»Yeun shared a similar sentiment about Wong, telling ET, «She's so wonderful.

She's just Ali Wong, and getting to know her on camera and off camera, has been such a beautiful and deep experience.»He continued, «I'm just so happy we can share some middle fingers together.»The comedy-drama follows the aftermath of a road rage incident between Danny Cho (Yeun) and Amy Lau (Wong) after they have a not-so-great encounter in a parking lot.
