What makes Wave Makers worth watching
Sparked Taiwan's #MeToo movement.
Wave Makers represents a strong example of taiwan drama from the 2023 production cycle. Taiwanese studios have spent the past decade refining the kind of long-form storytelling on display here — careful character work, restrained pacing in the early episodes, and a willingness to let emotional beats land without overstatement. The blend of Drama and Politics elements gives the show its tonal signature, sitting somewhere between mainstream comfort viewing and prestige drama.
The cast is led by Hsieh Ying-xuan, Yu Tzu-yu, Kaiser Chuang. It originally aired on Netflix, and has since travelled internationally through the streaming partnerships listed above.
