Sandra Oh says a woman approached her at the Met to say a Grey’s Anatomy scene made her leave her fiancé and become a lawyer “Young people come up to me all the time. It was at the opera, when I did the opera at the Met last year” “She came up to me and she goes, ‘I have to tell you something.’ And it’s always that, I have to tell you something. And you go, ‘Okay, tell me’” “And she was saying, 10 years ago I was watching your show and I was going to get married to this guy, and he didn’t want me to work. He was like, I’ll take care of you, blah blah blah” “And she was quoting this scene, which of course you’re going, what scene is that? What scene is that?” “And then she said something like, oh, I remember that scene, it’s a scene with Burke. In season 10, Burke comes back and offers her this incredible opportunity in Switzerland, which Cristina then takes” “So I’m like, oh, I understand what episode she’s talking about, but she’s saying how much this episode and I think the character affected her” “And she goes, ‘I left him. I became a lawyer’” “And I was just like, ‘Good for you. Whatever was going on in your life, it was not enough. And that guy who was saying that you are not going to be who you’re going to be and fulfill your destiny, go become a lawyer... Leave that. Leave him’”
