The cast of Ugly Wudi, a Chinese adaptation of the American comedy drama Ugly Betty met the public Friday afternoon in Changsha, the capital of central China's Hunan Province.

Despite previous controversy over this "not ugly enough" Chinese Betty, this TV drama enjoyed high ratings over the past week-long National Day holiday after its debut in late September.

Hunan Television, which produced this adaption, invited the cast to Changsha for a fan appreciation party to warm up climate for the drama's second season.
