## Synopsis

Bromance (2015-2016) is a Taiwanese romance drama series created by Chen Rong Hui for TTV Main Channel and Sanlih E-Television. Pi Yanuo, a shy young woman doomed to live as a boy, keeps her distance from everyone to conceal her true identity, and that mysterious aloofness makes her irresistible to the girls around her. Played by Megan Lai, Yanuo moves through a circle of wealthy classmates and friends, with Baron Chen as Du Zifeng and Lee Shao Xiang as Chu Zherui among the principal figures drawn into her orbit. The engine of the series is the tension between a secret that must be guarded and the romantic pulls it creates, all building toward the approach of her 26th birthday and the question of whether a return to being female will prove as easy as she hopes. Told across a single season of eighteen episodes, it is a light, glossy romance with a bittersweet undertone, set in a contemporary Taiwanese milieu of privilege and friendship. Its tone mixes breezy comedy with wistful longing, and fans of Meteor Garden, Boys Over Flowers and Hanazakari no Kimitachi e will find resonance in its rich man poor woman dynamics and gender disguise romance.
