Asian Beauty Appreciation

Ninespiral’s Underrated Asian Beauties Column

Who she is: Lin Li Wen/Michelle Lin (林立雯)

What she does: Actress TV Presenter, Model and Singer of 2 songs..

Where she’s active: Taiwan..

Why she’s underrated:
Her portrayal of an evil bitch in the drama, My MVP Valentine, was so convincing that the image stuck and audiences have become more accustomed with her acting in that kind of role.. Her public image is so bad that dramas with her starring as the protagonist have mostly been flops..

People really should appreciate her for her acting skills (and beauty.. ever seen her in a bikini?) rather than keep thinking of her as “that evil bitch from My MVP Valentine”..
