Synopsis
A love story between the president of a company who develops a severe case of OCD that prohibits him from interacting with women and the one person that he is immune to. An incident from when he was eighteen years old gravely affects the life of Wei Qin. Even though he has become a high-ranking corporate executive, he is unable to interact with the opposite sex, which is why he has been searching for a 'princess' that can save him for years. Ten years later, because of a drunken encounter with an eighteen-year old arts student named Zhou Shi, Wei Qin discovers that he feels completely fine after meeting her. An agreement is formed between the two and a romance ensues.

A Heartwarming Chinese Romance
In the realm of modern Chinese dramas, “About Is Love” stands out for its refreshing take on romance and character dynamics. While it treads familiar ground, its execution and chemistry elevate it beyond clichés.
Plot Summary: The drama follows Zhou Shi (played by Yan Xi) and her journey through college life. She’s practical, hardworking, and fiercely loyal to her friends. Enter Wei Qing (played by Xu Xiao Nuo), a seemingly cold and aloof senior who harbors a secret—he suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). As their paths intersect, their relationship evolves from reluctant acquaintances to genuine friends and, eventually, something more.
Review: “A-Teen” succeeds in portraying relatable characters and their growth. Zhou Shi’s resilience and Wei Qing’s vulnerability create a compelling dynamic. The drama doesn’t shy away from addressing mental health, weaving it seamlessly into the narrative. Xu Xiao Nuo’s portrayal of Wei Qing’s struggles is commendable.
The chemistry between Yan Xi and Xu Xiao Nuo is palpable. Their banter, shared glances, and gradual understanding make their romance endearing. The supporting cast—especially the second couple—adds depth. The drama balances humor, heartache, and slice-of-life moments effectively.
While the plot adheres to familiar tropes (rich male lead, strong female lead), it infuses freshness. The college setting provides a backdrop for growth, friendships, and self-discovery. The OST complements emotional scenes, though some tracks are repetitive.
The drama’s pacing keeps viewers engaged, and the 30-episode length doesn’t drag. The unresolved ending leaves room for interpretation, leaving fans eager for more. Overall, “About Is Love” is a heartwarming journey that reminds us love can blossom in unexpected places.
