Best Lover is a Taiwanese romantic comedy drama series that aired in 2016. The show follows the story of two individuals, Xia Ke (played by Jerry Yan) and Du Kai Qi (played by Tia Li). Xia Ke is a successful business executive who is also the CEO of a major advertising company. He is cold and calculating, and has a reputation for being difficult to work with. Du Kai Qi is an aspiring actress who dreams of becoming a household name in the entertainment industry. She is sweet and caring, but also has a strong will and determination to succeed.

The two first meet on the set of a commercial where Du Kai Qi is playing the lead actress and Xia Ke is the director. Their first encounter is memorable in that they clash with each other, and Xia Ke, who is known for his blunt and unapologetic opinions, tells Du Kai Qi that she will never become a successful actress. At this point, the series sets up the initial conflict between the two characters, with Du Kai Qi determined to prove Xia Ke wrong and Xia Ke unconcerned about her ambitions.

Throughout the course of the show, the two are thrown together in various situations, and inevitably, they start to get to know each other better. Xia Ke begins to understand that there is more to Du Kai Qi than just her facade, and slowly, he starts to become less cold and more relaxed around her. Conversely, Du Kai Qi realizes that Xia Ke has a good heart, even though he can be harsh, and starts to see the man behind his reputation.

One of the central themes of Best Lover is the exploration of the concept of love and relationships. As the two main characters get to know each other better, they start to develop feelings for one another. However, both of them have scars from their past relationships, and they struggle with opening up to each other. This is particularly evident in the character of Xia Ke, who has had a traumatic past with his ex-girlfriend and is fearful of getting hurt again.

As the story progresses, the two become drawn to each other more and more, but they face a number of obstacles that threaten to keep them apart. One of the most significant of these is the fact that Xia Ke is the CEO of a major advertising company that Du Kai Qi works for. The dynamics of their work relationship, along with the high-pressure atmosphere of Xia Ke's job, complicate their personal relationship and create tension between the two of them.

Another key theme of Best Lover is the exploration of the entertainment industry in Taiwan. As an aspiring actress, Du Kai Qi is constantly navigating the ups and downs of the industry, dealing with everything from unscrupulous managers to harsh critics. The show offers an insight into the challenges of breaking through in the world of entertainment, as well as the rewards of success.

Overall, Best Lover is an engaging and entertaining romantic comedy that explores the complexities of human relationships. It offers a glimpse into the world of the entertainment industry in Taiwan, and provides viewers with a fresh take on the classic trope of two people who start out hating each other and end up falling in love. With strong performances from the two lead actors and a great supporting cast, the series is a must-watch for fans of the genre.

Best Lover is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (12 episodes). The series first aired on March 1, 2016.
