There will be a new drama called "Extravagant Challenge" starring Ariel Lin and Jerry Yan.

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.

Director insisted in having Joe Cheng to play the male leading role, but apparently Jerry took the leading title.

There will be a press conference on November 17, 2008 in Tokyo, Japan.

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

and chea i heard of the manga but haven't read it...cause the plot seemed kinda werid to me.....so i guess for this storyline i'll just have to watch the drama instead =] since it'll have mr. jerry yan and miss. ariel lin =] hehe. pretty curious oh how they'll be together =].

like i say Ariel lin is like Amanda Bynes!!! lol in movies with hot guys! that i like! lol XD. aiyo! lol.

Hmmm.... Dn't know who jerry is...yet... but i'll be sure to check him out. BUT why isn't Joe the male lead??!!! I JUST LUV ARJOE!! but i'm open to change. so if this series is half as gud as ISWAK then i'm cool with this new couple combo

jeRry yan chEng Xu is the lead aCtor in Meteor GardEn (hAna Yori danGo in JapAnesE)..
he Plays tHe roLe DaO miNg si ( in Taiwanese vErsioN, Dpmyouji in JapanEsE)

jerry doesn't even look like ren. maybe his acting will make it okay. i love the skip beat manga. i really hope this is just as good.

and i like ariel too..
well it's too bad it isn't joe that's gonna be the male lead..
but it's ok..
