Directingedit
Boya made his directing debut with the mini-series Promised Not to Cry, which he won a Golden Bell Award in the Best Director category.[6]
In 2014, Boya made his feature film directorial debut with Kano, a historical period piece about Taiwan's legendary high school baseball team. Boya first got involved with the project when Wei Te-sheng mentioned doing a smaller film about baseball, which he had interest in because he was a former baseball player himself.[7] The film was also written and produced by Wei Te-sheng and won Audience Awards at the Golden Horse Awards (where it also won a FIPRESCI Prize), the Osaka Asian Film Festival and the Taipei Film Festival (where actor Yu-Ning Tsao won a Best Supporting Actor award). Kano is also the 6th highest grossing Taiwanese domestic film of all time.
