Her breakthrough came in 2019 with the psychological horror film Detention, where her performance won Best Actress at the 22nd Taipei Film Awards and a nomination for Best Leading Actress at the 56th Golden Horse Awards.

Early life and education

[edit]

Early career

Wang's acting debut was the 2017 romance film All Because of Love.[9][10] Her casting in this role was partially attributed to the attention she gained after appearing on a YouTube channel featuring recordings of passengers singing KTV in the backseat of a taxi in 2015 at age 17.

In 2018 she was cast as the female lead of the[11] film The Outsiders, based on the 2004 TV series of the same name.[12] She also made an appearance as the lead female in Possession.

Gingle's next film came in 2021, delayed due to production delays caused by the pandemic, [21] appearing in a supporting role as Wang Ting in Plurality, directed by Aozaru Shiao. Later the same year, she appeared alongside Alyssa Chia in female lead roles as the mother-daughter duo in the critically-acclaimed The Falls by Chung Mong-Hong.[22] Her performance garnered a nomination for the Best Leading Actress at the 58th Golden Horse Awards.[23][24]
