(Central News Agency, reporter Hong Sujin, Taipei, 9th) Actress Wang Jing takes on a multiple personality role in the drama 'Silent Judgment'. One personality is gentle and introverted, while the other is intelligent, calm, and sharp-minded. To portray the differences between the personalities, Wang Jing studied with a teacher to learn different resonance vocal positions, finding the appropriate tone for each character.

The drama 'Silent Judgment' integrates criminal psychology, multiple personalities, collective consciousness, and moral reflection. The story is set in Taipei in 2004, where a bombing and kidnapping case spans 20 years, unraveling the deep-seated恩怨情仇 (grievances and entanglements) of three families across two generations. Ethan Ruan, who plays the lead, is considered the main culprit of the bombing and kidnapping case. He shared via a press release that his own emotions were complex during filming, as his body and mind were in a stage of reorganization. He hopes that after the drama airs, viewers can contemplate the story from a different perspective.

Lead actress Wang Jing challenges a multiple personality role in this series. One character is gentle and introverted, while the other is a smart, calm, and sharp-minded graduate student in psychology at National Taiwan University. To distinguish the personality differences between the characters, Wang Jing specifically underwent voice and psychological training. 'The tone and sound of one's voice can also represent one's personality. I sought out teacher Lin Weiyi for lessons, learning different resonance vocal positions to find the appropriate tone for my characters. This helped me immensely in subsequent physical performance and emotional expression,' she said.

'Silent Judgment' uses the shell of a suspense crime story to explore personality, trauma, and the choice between good and evil in human nature. It is scheduled to air on Netflix in the third quarter of this year. (Editor: Li Hengshan) 1150609
