“In Love With A Rich Girl” is its English title but here in the Philippines, it was changed to “Senorita Mei Mei” when it was aired over GMA-7 years back. However, I didn’t watch it then, just only recently when it had its re-run at QTV-11.
This is a story of rich girl, Ai Bi/Albee (Joe Chen), who is pampered in all her life. But in a twist of fate, her mother was hospitalized while her father’s company went bankrupt and left them, leading her to strive on her own. To make the matter worse, her fiance, Huang Bo Cheng (Tian Jia Da) was snatched away from her by their common friend. Meantime, Wei Zhe (Jason Hsu), is a paparazzi who follows her everywhere she goes but soon will find himself in love with her. But his childhood friend, Justin (Huang Yu Rong), will stand in their way.
The story, though short, is neither heavy nor light. The plot only became complicated because the lives of Ai Bi’s housemates were played up to make it more exciting while Wei Zhe gives the comic relief from beginning ‘til the end.
I noticed that paparazzis/reporters are quite common in Taiwanese series. What I don’t understand here is why Ai Bi being followed by paparazzi, she’s not even a celebrity, only the daughter of a businessman, and her private life is being dug-up. Well, I guess this is a cultural thing.
The part where Ai Bi’s father left her to hide reminds me of “Yu Dao Ai.” From here, I guess it’s normal for Chinese businessmen to run away and hide after their company goes into bankruptcy, then resurface after they fix the problems.
What really caught my attention here is Ehlo Huang. It’s my first time to see him here, and I was mesmerized by him in the process. He’s really damn sexy. He has the bad boy look here that matches with his temperamental character. I swear, black attire suits him best. He also wore black in the latter part of “Ai Qing Mo Fa Shi” and indeed, he was overflowing with sex appeal.

As to Joe and Jason's tandem, I think they look good together and got a lot of chemistry.
So if I were you, try to look for this one. It is a cute series that can make you laugh and doesn't make you feel sad after watching.
