"Adapted from a popular online novel, Star TV's Pretty Ugly is the latest star-studded idol drama to hit Taiwan televisions. Popular singers JJ Lin and Nicky Lee make their leading man debuts in this bright youth comedy, along with drama regular Michael Chang (The Outsiders) and rising star Alice Tseng from Secret. Breaking from the Jerry Yan and Wu Chun molds of idol drama alternate reality, Pretty Ugly is the hilarious underdog story of an average-looking guy and his fumbling quest for romance. Mixing nonsensical sitcom humor with an endearing romantic storyline, Pretty Ugly is looking pretty good after all.

Since he was a kid, Xiao Zhuang (JJ Lin) has been under the delusion that's he's handsome. After all that's what the relatives and local hawkers always say. But when he gets to college, Xiao Zhuang is rudely awakened by the revelation that he's not so handsome after all. But that's not going to stop him from pining after his dream girl, cool and aloof campus beauty Cindy (Alice Tseng). With the help of his goofy best friends Si Si (Nicky Lee) and Kang (Michael Chang), Xiao Zhuang comes up with all kinds of (mostly unsuccessful) strategies to find true love."

In 2007, JJ had a breakthrough of not just his music, but also in the outrageous role playing as a psychotic killer for The Killa music video and mini movie.   Regardless of his sunshine personalities in reality, JJ did prove his talents in acting.

Both the song and the video were meant to portray the internal struggles of the good and evil sides of human beings, and the need to face up to one's dark side in order to appreciate the good.

JJ At the Premiere of The Killa Mini Movie

TheTaiwan drama 花樣少年少女, is based on the Japanese shoujo manga "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e" (花ざかりの君たちへ) by Hisaya Nakajo. The literal translation is "For You In Full Blossom." The manga is also known as Hana Kimi.

JJ had the first experience acting as the main female character (play by Ella Chen)'s brother Lu Jing Xi 盧静希 (manga: Ashiya Shizuki C. - Mizuki's older brother).  It was  a couple of short appearances in episodes 4 and 5 as the character was dropping by to visit.   JJ's scenes were rather funny since comedy is part of the theme.

Synopsis :

Set at the dawn of time, a mighty dragon rules over weather and water with the mandate of Heaven. Overlord of rain and the seas in the mortal world, the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea reigns supreme in his palace under the waves.

Main character, Draco the Little Dragon Prince, son and heir to the throne of the Dragon King, is playful and rebellious. In a moment of folly, he steals the Luminous Pearl, the ruler s treasure and source of his power, to play with it. He is entangled by the evil octopus Ocho – the king s archenemy – who schemes to grab the Pearl and the power it holds.

Threatening the prince, his father and all whom he holds dear, Ocho commands General Hermit Crab who leads a fearsome army of swordfish, to attack the palace, and his hammerhead shark henchmen, Hammer & Anvil, to hunt down Little Dragon.

Thus begins the little dragon s undersea journey of discovery and redemption to save his father and kingdom, with his friends, Sam the squid, Ping the puffer fish, Star Lee the kungfu-fighting starfish and Museum the all-knowing clam. Also on the his side are the wise Lobster, his tutor and adviser to the king, and the Dragon King’s prawn army led by General Crab.
