Hsu also made stunning performances in Netflix's Nowhere Man and Oscar short-listed A Sun. In 2019, he starred as leading actor in hit series Someday or One Day. The popular series got him nominated for Best Leading Actor at the 55th Golden Bell Awards, and made him now one of the most sought-after young actors in Asia. In 2020, he released single "Yesterday No More". The song immediately landed No. 1 on KKBox charts in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
