Wan garnered further attention in 2016, when she co-created, co-wrote, and starred in the Canadian sitcom Second Jen, alongside Amanda Joy.
The series follows two young Asian Canadian women experiencing the ups and downs of being independent after moving out of their parents' homes for the first time.
[5] The series received mixed reviews from critics upon release; Brad Wheeler of The Globe and Mail hailed the show as "A Laverne & Shirley for the Digital Age" as it stars "two sparky second-generation Asian-Canadian millennial women coming of age in an era so economically challenging that Laverne and Shirley would be crying in their beers instead of merrily goofing off at the bottling plant.
"[6] In contrast, John Doyle, also of The Globe and Mail, panned the show, calling it "light, slight, silly and only occasionally outright funny."
[10][11] In addition to her work on Second Jen, Wan is also the creator, writer, and star of Sudden Master, which is a female-centric web series that focuses on Chinese martial arts.
