Award-winning international film stars Shu Qi and Sinje Lee are set to make their first appearance in a Netflix series with Chinese-language revenge thriller, The Resurrected. The dark and suspenseful series follows the journey of two desperate mothers as they resurrect a deceased ringleader of a telecommunication fraud scheme to avenge their kidnapped daughters.
Shu Qi, portraying Wang Hui-chun in the series, admits, “Viewers can anticipate the complexity of Wang Hui-chun’s morally-ambiguous character. Beyond being a mother, Hui-chun constantly struggles with the moral dilemma of choosing between holding on to hate and letting go.”
Reflecting on her role as Chao Ching, Sinje Lee shares, "This is the first time I am playing such a dark role. To truly get into character, I isolated myself during production, which at times made me feel like a stranger to myself. As a mother, I can relate to the struggles and challenges Chao Ching faces."
Alyssa Chia, who plays Huang I-chen, expresses her excitement for the series, stating, "The relationships between the characters are filled with drama and tension. It has been an enjoyable experience on-set, and while I’m sad to see production end, I can’t wait for the world to see this unexpected and fantastic show.”
Fu Meng-po, portraying Chang Shih-kai, acknowledges the challenges of playing such an evil character, saying, “The tension between the aggressors and victims in this story is so intense, leaving much for the audience to reflect on. Each cast member has also brought such great energy on-set and I am grateful to be a part of this epic project.”
The Resurrected is co-directed by Leste Chen and Hsu Chao-jen, with a star-studded cast including Shu Qi, Sinje Lee, Fu Meng-po, and more. The series promises to deliver a gripping and emotional journey of friendship, revenge, and redemption, as the characters retaliate against the cruel telescam leader who has captured their daughters.
