Hi My Sweetheart

One of the best Taiwanese Series that i've watched. And I'm a great fan of LuoZhiXiang Xue Hai (Show Luo) is a certifiable dork who comes from a wealthy family and had been protected by his oldest sister, Xue Bo for most of his life. One day, at age 20, he decided to move out of his comfort zone and study abroad in Hangzhou. To protect his identity as the heir of his family's wealth, Xue Bo, gave him an alias "Lin Da Lang," who is supposed to be a poor student. At Zhejiang University, Da Lang meets Chen Bao Zhu (Rainie Yang): an eccentric, friendless alpha-female social rebel. Lin Da Lang becomes unconditionally persistent for her friendship and endlessly delivers a peaceful and constant variable of support and acceptance to her neglected life. Unaware of Lin Da Lang's background, Bao Zhu teaches him the norms and social baby steps of every day life. As she begins to drop her guard, Da Lang vows to always be with her, and they fall in love. During this time, Chen Bao Zhu's father goes bankrupt and flees, leaving her and her mother behind. Using Bao Zhu's father as an example of poverty and failure, Bao Zhu's mother refuses to accept Lin Da Lang's relationship with her daughter and orders her to break up with Da Lang or she will prevent his graduation. Out of fear for Da Lang, Bao Zhu lies to her mother in a note, and agrees to an arranged marriage. Secretly, however, Bao Zhu plans to elope with Da Lang. At the same time, Da Lang - unaware of the conflict - wishes to propose and confess his true identity and wealth to Chen Bao Zhu. On Bao Zhu's birthday, Da Lang and Chen Bao Zhu make plans to meet, both unaware of each other's mutual objectives for a joint future. Da Lang purchases an engagement ring and heads to the meeting spot; but as Chen Bao Zhu leaves to meet Lin Da Lang, she is hit by a car and knocked unconscious for months. Da Lang continued to wait, but she never showed. Worried, Da Lang later visits her home, and Chen Bao Zhu's mother lies to him and reports she is in Europe and will soon marry someone else, showing him the note Bao Chu left. Unaware of Bao Zhu's true intentions, Da Lang comes to the conclusion he was recklessly abandoned by his first love. Xue Hai drops his alias of Da Lang, loses his simplistic innocent take on life, and vows not to ever commit to a relationship again. Three years later, back in Kaohsiung, Xue Hai has transformed himself into an egocentric playboy and now does not hide his wealth. The new Xue Hai believes that he is invulnerable. Xue Hai overhears Bao Zhu's familiar voice on the radio as a local DJ named Sweetheart. Xue Hai looks, acts and feels like a new person. Feeling he's now unrecognizable, Xue Hai buys the radio station in order to seek revenge. His objective was to coerce her into falling in love with his new self, only to then dump her in revenge. However after seeing Bao Zhu with He Yan Feng (Lee Wei), her high-school senior/judo master, Xue Hai becomes jealous and soon realizes that he still have feelings for her. Xue Hai then sets his mind on destroying the relationship of Chen and her "boyfriend", while he continually pursues her, often forgetting whether it's out of love or revenge.
