Idol Drama - Devil Beside You (E Mo Tsai Shen Pien / 惡魔在身邊)

Story of Drama -
Yueh Chi has secretly admired Yuan-I, the leader of the baseball team. After being encouraged by her girlfriends, she decided to confess to him; however, because of the nervousness, she passes her love letter to a freshman, Meng Chiang, by mistake! Her nightmare starts.

Yueh Chi feels embarrassed and runs away without realizing her love letter has been lost already. Meng Chiang threatens Chi-Yueh to be his “servant”. Yueh Chi becomes Meng Chiang’s toy. Usually, she needs to take notes for Meng Chiang and has to meet his needs if necessary. After been encouraged by Yuan-I, Yueh Chi decided to get rid of the devil, Meng Chiang. However, nobody has predicted this. Yueh Chi’s love letter is posted on a bulletin board!

Humiliated Yueh Chi makes a dash for Meng Chiang. Meng Chiang says that he has never been not able to get things he wants. Looking at Meng Chiang, an uncomfortable feeling emerges out of her mind… When everything is not going well with Yueh Chi, her mom, Hsueh-Wei, finally meets her soul mate. The future father of Yueh Chi is not anyone but Meng Chiang’s father, Yu-Hui Chiang! The worse is that Meng Chiang becomes a member of the baseball club after people are “Cheated” by his glamorous smile. On the other hand, Yueh Chi is the manager of the baseball club.

Yueh Chi is so naïve that she believes that she and Yuan-I can be lovers after joining the baseball club. However, she does not have any chance to stay alone with Yuan-I under the interruption of her brother, Meng Chiang. Moreover, Yueh Chi is Meng Chiang’s “Legal servant!” Besides Yueh Chi, there’s one more person who is unhappy. She is a super fan of Meng Chiang, Li-Hsiang. This is endangering Yueh Chi’s life.

On the other hand, Yuan-I finds he also somewhat cares about Yueh Chi. After getting the encouragement from Ching-Tze and Hsiao-Tsai, Yuan-I decided to confess to Yueh Chi, but he sees the sence that he never wants to see, which is the kissing of that “dangerous pair of a sister and brother.” When Yueh Chi thinks there’s no any hope left, God gives her a big surprise – Yuan-I invites her to a concert! Yueh Chi tells herself, “I can’t screw it up this time!”

Yuan-I sees the argument between Yueh Chi and Meng Chiang on the day of the concert. He knows there’s a misunderstanding between Yueh Chi and himself. Looking at that dangerous sister and brother, Yuan-I kindly tells Chi-Yueh the truth and makes sure of his feeling. Yuan-I will be a loser in this complicated love affair…
