About the Drama





Yuan Xiang Qin (Ariel Lin) is a bumbling, intellectually-challenged, naïve, but optimistic high school girl. She had been in love with Jiang Zhi Shu (Joe Cheng) ever since she saw him on stage for a freshman orientation speech. Jiang Zhi Shu is a genius with an IQ of 200 a total league from her.

After two years of having a crush on him, she finally musters the courage to confess her love to him in school with a love letter. Zhi Shu is not impressed, and Xiang Qin is left humiliated publicly in front of their entire school.

The afternoon, the new house she has just moved into with her father collapses in a minor earthquake. She and her father are instantly left homeless because they lacked the foresight to pay for earthquake insurance. Fortunately, her father's old college friend extends a helping hand and invites both of them to live at his house. She and her father moved in with the family of her father's college buddy, Uncle Ah Li. To her surprise, the kind and amicable aunt and uncle are the parents of her cold and distant schoolmate Jiang Zhi Shu.

Because of this unexpected turn of events, Zhi Shu and Xiang Qin begin living their lives under the same roof. Zhi Shu's mother aspires to bring them together, coaxing Zhi Shu into tutoring Xiang Qin and taking numerous pictures of the couple together. Zhi Shu remains cold towards Xiang Qin, thinking her to be one of the dumbest people he has ever met, and refuses to speak to her in school.

Zhi Shu slowly warms up to Xiang Qin, who tries her hardest to do better in school for him, as they deal with romantic rivals, their futures, and their relationship.

Comments:





I really like this show. Even though the actress and actors are kind of new in acting at that time, I think this is a very interesting and funny show.

Very heart warming show, you can see how the indifferent genius Zhi Shu slowly warming towards the silly Xiang Qin.

One thing I find very amazing is the way Zhi Shu's mum's devotion to Xiang Qin. I guess she can see how kind she is and really wanted her to be her daughter-in-law.
