Bad Girls is a 2012 Taiwan romance comedy film starring Ella Chen and Mike He. With Chris Wang, Da Yuan, Beatrice Fang, Jack Kao, Hui-Chen Pan and Toyoharu Kitamura in supporting roles. Directed by Seven Wong.
The movie is about a High School brutish tomboy who accidentally becomes the lead actress of a romantic teen idol movie and falls in love with Taiwan's top male idol.
Dan (Ella Chen) is a high school tomboy who has developed a mindset that most males are bad and like to bully females because of watching her mother cried over a "bad man movie" when she was young, ever since then she has stood up to any males that bully females. Together with her friends Pei (Da Yuan) and Mi (Beatrice Fang) they formed a group calling themselves "Bad Girls" to stand up for all females that are bullied by males. One day at Dan's school a film crew along with Taiwan's #1 male idol Justin (Mike He) is there to film a romance idol movie, while chasing her younger sister around her school for making fun of her, Dan accidentally stumbles on to the filming area without noticing and injures the lead actress Jessica (Mandy Wei). Justin suggest that Dan become the new lead actress to compensate for injuring Jessica. Dan refuses, denying that she had any fault in what happened but when her school principal threatens to call her mother to school Dan agrees to being the new lead actress. At first she thinks filming a movie will be a piece of cake until she has to put in a lot of effort in acting for her role and experiencing the behind the scenes of what it takes to make a movie. As filming progresses she gets to know Justin better and realizes that his passion is not being an actor but baking. She also starts falling for Justin and realizes that not all males are as bad as she thinks.
