The drag movie Number 1 is a drama-comedy about a manager of a popular drag club for him to support his family. At first, the owner was embarrassed by his work, but he slowly understood the stigma about drag performers in society. In one show, he tried to save his performance by becoming a drag queen sensation himself. This movie was aired last 2020.
Mark Lee’s performance in this movie has resulted in him being nominated as Best Leading Actor at the Golden Horse Awards 2020. The movie was also nominated for Best Makeup and Costume Design and won the said category.
Netizens expressed their anticipation for the sequel in the post’s comments section.
