Career
Acting
Ariel Lin was first discovered in a Taiwanese contest called the pretty subway girl contest and she was the champion. She was paired with Mike He in the television drama series Love Contract. After starring in several television roles in Taiwanese dramas and two films during the early 2000s, she rose to fame in 2005 for her role as Yuan Xiangqin in It Started With a Kiss. Lin was also praised for her work in Tokyo Juliet (2004) as Lin Laisui with Wu Chun and Simon Yam. Her performances in The Little Fairy (2005) as The Seventh Fairy Maiden and The Legend of the Condor Heroes (2008) as Huang Rong brought her increased popularity in Mainland China. In October 2008, Lin won Best Leading Actress in a Television Series for They Kiss Again at the 43rd Golden Bell Awards.[2] In 2008, she reunited with Joe Cheng, her co-star for It Started With a Kiss and They Kiss Again, in Love or Bread.
In November 2008, Lin was confirmed to play Kyōko alongside Jerry Yan as Tsuruga Ren, in a live-adaption of Japanese shōjo manga Skip Beat! (スキップ・ビート! Sukippu Bīto!?) by Yoshiki Nakamura, titled Extravagant Challenge (Chinese: 華麗的挑戰; pinyin: Hua Li De Tiao Zhan).[3] However the production was postponed indefinitely[4] and subsequently re-cast.
Ariel Lin filmed a Gala Television (GTV) production, titled In Time with You (Chinese: 我可能不會愛你), co-starring Bolin Chen and directed by Chu Yu-ning (瞿友寧) in 2011, which garnered Ariel a second Golden Bell Award for Best Actress.[5]
