Let me start out by saying, I love Taiwanese dramas because they are so fucking cheesy I can’t help myself. To paraphrase the now disbanded 2NE1, I am devastated please send hugs, they’re so bad, bad that they’re so good, good. And when Netflix put a shitload of them in their library I rejoiced because I could stream it without dealing with Viki’s buggy app’s nonsense. This was the second one I watched but feel I need to talk about it first because it’s not the worst drama I’ve ever seen but a very close second.

Okay, so this drama is a train wreck of plot holes, random plot points, easily fixable problems, unnecessary scenes, eye rolls galore, and “What?! Are you fucking serious?! Who does that?! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?!” So let’s jump right in. Warning spoilers ahead because I give no fucks, this drama is piss poor.

Lu Tian Xing (Aaron Yan) is your typical rich drama douche bag and CEO of a major ad firm. Burnt out from his job he announces his vacation via press conference that is supposed to be for something else. Either way, he runs from his boss and underlings and ends up in a park where small advertising company OZ is shooting some commercial. OZ is run by Tao Le Si (Tai Li) with whom Lu Tian Xing ran into at the very beginning. But he is Clark Kent’ed and flattened his hair and put on glasses. However, he is instantly recognized but talks his way out of it and claims his name is Xiao Lu. Everyone buys it and we’re off with the Prince and the Pauper kind of thing only it’s one guy not two, which initially caught my interest.

So Lu Tian Xing as Xiao Lu begins working with OZ during his leave of absence from his real job because he wants to help OZ which is floundering and the reason he got into advertising in the first place. But everyone hates Lu Tian Xing at OZ because they think he’s just gonna take it over so he hides as Xiao Lu. He still shows up as arrogant douche Lu Tian Xing to help when his boss Lance ( Kao Ying Hsuan) does underhanded prick things to fuck shit up for OZ because he’s a shit dick. And this goes on for half of the series and he and Tao Le Si fall in love and the director Leo (Jack Li) loves Tao Le Si and triangle shit and blah, blah, blah. Then everyone finds out Xiao Lu is actually Lu Tian Xing and his relationship with Tao Le Si falls apart because Lu Tian Xing has been a total dick to her and he has to win her back; like he is a super douche to her before she finds out he is Xiao Lu. Like he assaults her with a forced kiss and like demands she like him because he confessed his love to her. “I like you so you have to like me too.” And I am there like, “Are you fucking kidding, bro?” Real fuck boy shit. But anyway, had they stuck to this plot the drama would have been fine. However, after his stalker becomes basically paralyzed and the story becomes convoluted and completely pointless. And here we enter spoilerville.

Li Huan Huan (Beatrice Fang) is Lance’s sister and totally in love with Lu Tian Xing, like creepily obsessed with him. I shit you not, she says at one point when she sees him as Xiao Lu, “But you smell like Tian Xing.” Who does that? How is that not a red flag that this bitch needs professional help? Either way, he only sees her as a sister. So she fawns all over him while he is trying to win back Tao Le Si and generic love triangle crap except everyone is annoying and stupid. Then Huan Huan falls down a hill that isn’t really that steep and loses the use of her legs and this is where shit fucks up. She ends up in a wheelchair and they blame Lu Tian Xing for it but she literally pulled away from his hand. She is clearly at fault but okay.

Lance, being the giant asshole tool that he is, tells Huan Huan that if she wants to keep Lu Tian Xing by her side she needs to never stand up again basically use Tian Xing’s guilt to gain his love. Meanwhile, their mom, Mama Li uses Tian Xing’s love for Tao Le Si against him to keep him close to Huan Huan. Like steals Tian Xing’s shares of OZ and threatens to shut it down if he doesn’t marry Huan Huan. Because according to her you don’t marry for love because it’s selfish but ya know being a giant cunt and forcing someone who doesn’t love her to marry your daughter because she likes him isn’t selfish. WHAT THE FUCK?!

So Lance and Mama Li are manipulative dick holes and eventually warp Huan Huan from a spoiled princess to a spoiled sociopath and sit and wonder why. They even have Tian Xing followed and eventually he like, “fuck this shit, I’m out!” and tries to run away with Le Si but they stop him. In a last ditch effort, Mama Li offers Tian Xing control over their family company that Lance is throwing a shit fit for because it should be him and wah, wah, wah. So finally Lu Tian Xing agrees to marry Huan Huan because he literally cannot win. And at the wedding Piss Baby Lance objects and calls out Tian Xing’s motives citing he is only marrying her for the company shares. Dude, you literally just stopped thi dude from running off with the girl he actually loves because you want him to marry your deranged sister and you have the balls to say it’s because he wants company shares?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! WHEN THE FUCK WAS THAT AN ACTUAL ISSUE? WHO THE FUCK IS WRITING THIS?! WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!

And this is literally the whole rest of the series, Lance bitching because Tian Xing is gonna be the major shareholder in the Li family ad company even though all he wants to do is bang Tao Le Si and work at OZ. But Lance is making a big deal out of it and Mama Li is wondering why shit is fucked up and blames Tao Le Si while Carie is wondering why this is even in the show? Are the characters really this fucking stupid? Who wrote this because they need to have any and all writing implements taken away from them because their writing is an insult to everyone who has ever written anything ever. Except maybe that dumb fucking bitch that wrote 50 Shades. But I digress, can someone explain to me the second half of this drama because I can’t figure it out. Why? Just why?

So yeah, this drama is a fucking mess. The ending, like the whole second half of the drama is stupid and makes no sense. Lance throws a shit fit because his sister won’t give him her shares. Lance throws a shit fit because they’re giving him the shares. Lance drops to his knees in the rain and screams at the sky for some reason. Why did no one beat the shit out of Lance? Why the fuck are the OZ people playing baseball? Why did the secondary character Helen end up with that creepy guy who literally sexually harasses her the entire fucking time? Why the fuck did Carie watch this entire series? I can’t talk about this shit anymore. In conclusion, don’t watch this entire drama unless you hate yourself or need to punish your brain.
