Taiwanese star Ariel Lin is making headlines with her daring comeback in the new film Blindness, set to premiere on September 19. Just three months after giving birth to her second child, the actress not only takes on the female lead but also steps into the role of producer for the first time.
In Blindness, Ariel Lin plays a lesbian woman who marries, has children, and works tirelessly as a doctor to fulfill family expectations. The story delves into themes of repression, perfectionism, and personal struggle. Her portrayal includes a shocking 18+ scene with co-star Wu Ke-xi, which has become a hot topic even before the film’s release.
Reflecting on her boldest role to date, Ariel Lin admitted that the toughest challenge was not the physical exposure but conveying her character’s deep emotions:
“The hardest part wasn’t the intimate scenes, but expressing the suppressed emotions of a woman striving for perfection. I used to be very strict with myself, but now I try to simply do my best and forgive myself when mistakes happen,” she shared.
Ariel Lin married businessman Charles Lin in 2014. The couple welcomed their daughter in 2021 and their son in June 2025. Remarkably, she returned to work in just three months, showing no visible fatigue. She revealed that giving birth naturally helped her slim down without effort.
Known as the “queen of idol dramas” during her peak in Taiwan, Ariel Lin has a beloved filmography that includes classics such as It Started with a Kiss, Love Contract, Fairy from Wonderland, Secret Garden, and Oriental Juliet. Her decision to take on a provocative role in Blindness marks a bold new chapter in her career.
As the premiere approaches, both fans and critics are eager to see how Ariel Lin balances her sweet, iconic image with her daring new performance.
