Penny first worked as a fashion model before venturing into acting.
In January 2007, the passing of good friend Xu Wei Lun was announced on the Taiwan Entertainment news. Penny lost control upon the receiving the bad news. At that time Xu Wei Lun was doing a drama called Daughter of the Sun; Penny and Ariel Lin were considered for taking her role in instead.
Chinese TV 8pm drama "Daughter of the Sun" finally decided that Xu Wei Lun's good friend Penny Lin will continue the drama as the lead female "Si Jia". Penny first went to the meet up with the Xiao Ye, then she went to prepare for the fifth with Yi Nan to New Zealand to film some scenery shots. Director and producer Wang Zhong Guang expressed that after Xu Wei Lun died, there were many lead female replacements listed online. Many replacements named were Xu Wei Lun's good friends, but Penny's appearance and personality matched the lead female's character the best.
Wang Zhong Guang and Xiao Ye both encouraged by saying "It's not replacing, but helping good friend Wei Lun finish her unfinished work". Wang Zhong Guang expressed that the three episodes that Wei Lun already filmed, they will still leave be, and they will change the drama a bit to let Penny show up after the fourth episode, and the audience will still understand the change of character.
After the changes in the plot, Wei Lun's character still suffered from a heart condition, but after she received a machine to help her with it, she went to New Zealand to study for eight years. After these eight years, it will be Penny Lin who will continue the drama, also meeting male lead Si Yi Nan there.
As for continuing the drama "Daughter of the Sun", Penny has expressed that facing everyone's speculation, she does feel some pressure inside. Her friends all support her, and some were even worried. Originally, she would have started filming another film in March, so she was very torn between the two projects, and after discussing with her mother about it, she thinks that there will always be another opportunity for new dramas, but this is the only opportunity for her to help her friend finish her wish, and that's when she decided to go with "Daughter of the Sun".
When talking about Wei Lun's old character, she said that Wei Lun was too good. When she was looking at the script she'll keep thinking about Wei Lun's personality and her small habits or she'll think about the scenes that Wei Lun did already. With this kind of emotion, she still needs a bit more time to adjust. Wang Zhong Guang doesn't want Penny to see the scenes that Wei Lun already finished filming, hoping that Penny won't be affected by it.
