Wave Makers

Wave Makers (Chinese: 人選之人—造浪者) is a 2023 Taiwanese political drama television series written by Chien Li-ying and Yan Shi-ji and directed by Lin Chun-yang.

[2][3] Wen-fang Weng is the assistant director of the Justice Party public relations campaign of presidential candidate Yueh-chen Lin, who seeks to oust the incumbent president.

The daughter of an influential legislator in the same party, Weng lost her re-election for councilor of her district when she defended herself against a homophobic supporter of her father who verbally attacked her when he saw her kissing her wife, and afterwards refused to apologize to him.

James Marsh of the South China Morning Post observed that Wave Makers's cast and story is predominantly female, including both presidential candidates.

Rival politicians can debate immigration and environmental policies, fend off student protesters, and even dig up each other's scandals without worrying about what anyone in Beijing or Washington says.

Wave Makers brought increased attention to sexual harassment in Taiwanese society and set of a round of grappling with the issue.
