Ariel Lin to act Skip Beat

One of Taiwan's favorite actress, Ariel Lin, is going to star in a new drama with Jerry Yan.

This new drama will be titled "華麗的挑戰 Extravagant Challenge". Ariel Lin recently told the public that she wanted to act this new drama with Jerry Yan because he is very hard-working, and it seemed to have come true.

This new drama is an adaption from the Japanese manga and live action drama, Skip Beat. Ariel Lin and Jerry Yan will play the two leading roles. Ariel Lin will be Mogami Kyoko and Jerry Yan will play as Tsuruga Ren.

Directors wanted Joe Cheng to play one of the lead roles, but Jerry Yan took it. There will also be a press conference on November 17, 2008 in Tokyo, Japan.

There hasn't been sneak peeks of this new drama, but there is more to come. This new drama will air on 2009.

ahhhhh. big disappointment to arjoe fans ;_;

 

Skip Beat sounds interesting. I hope the tv-drama will follow the plotline of the manga

 

i can't really stand ariel .. her mouth keep yapping .. urgh .. feel sorry for the bf/husband.

 

somehow i can't seem to picture ariel and jerry playing the characters from the manga, based on what i read from it (i'm an avid skip beat reader). but hopefully, they'll be able to pull it off.

there's also a skip beat anime being released right now in japan. i think there are subs out already.
