Moon Lee (Chinese: 李沐; born 10 December 1996) is a Taiwanese actress. She made her debut with a minor role in the television series On Children (2018) and landed her first leading role as Chiang Hsiao-meng in the Netflix crime series The Victims' Game (2020–2024), for which she won Best Newcomer in the 55th Golden Bell Awards. Since then, she has starred in the films Terrorizers (2021) and My Best Friend's Breakfast (2022), earning nominations for the Golden Horse Award and Taipei Film Award, respectively.

Early life and education

Lee was born on 10 December 1996 in Taiwan. She has two younger sisters, and was raised by her grandparents. She attended and graduated from Taipei Municipal Zhongshan Girls High School. Aspiring to become a fashion designer, Lee enrolled at Shih Chien University to study fashion design. During her university years, she began working as a model and filming music videos starting in 2017. After a year at Shih Chien, she reflected on her interests and realized that while she enjoyed art, she did not have a passion for designing on demand or providing services. She then suspended her studies at Shih Chien and moved abroad to study at the University of the Arts London in 2018. There, she pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts, specializing in Sculpture. While in the United Kingdom, she was discovered by a talent scout on Instagram and invited to audition for The Victims' Game. She completed the casting process via video call and recorded a four-minute performance video in her dormitory. At the age of 19, she suspended her studies and returned to Taiwan after receiving the role.

Career

Lee's early roles before studying abroad in the United Kingdom included starring as Shih Yu-jie, a transferred student trying to fit into an elite school in the 2018 drama series On Children, and as Chou Hsin, a member of the underground reading club in the 2019 horror film Detention. She landed her first leading role as Chiang Hsiao-meng in the 2020 Netflix crime series The Victims' Game. Her performance was well received, and she earned Best Newcomer in a Television Series in the 55th Golden Bell Awards and a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the 2nd Asia Contents Awards. In the same year, she also took on a main role in the romance series Non Reading Club [zh] and a recurring role as Wang Yi-rong in the legal drama series Wacko At Law [zh]. Lee starred alongside Austin Lin in the 2021 film Terrorizers, for which she was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 58th Golden Horse Awards. She also made cameo appearances in the television series We Best Love and Rainless Love in a Godless Land [zh] that same year.

In 2022, Lee played Hsiang Wei-hsin, the lead character in the novel-adapted romance film My Best Friend's Breakfast, for which she was nominated for Best New Talent in the 24th Taipei Film Awards. She secured a main role in the mystery series The Leaking Bookstore [zh], and appeared as the younger version of Cheryl Yang's character in a cameo in the 2023 comedy series Oh No! Here Comes Trouble. In 2024, Lee reprised her role as Chiang Hsiao-meng in the second season of The Victims' Game, for which she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the 6th Asian Content Awards, and landed a lead role in the romance film I Am the Secret in Your Heart, starring alongside Tsao Yu-ning and Shou Lo.
