Falling in love with own sister! - Devil Beside You

When i read Lovey Dovey manga, it's remind me with this Taiwanese Drama back in 2005. I love this T-Drama, Mike He so handsome and cool. I know Rainie Yang from 'Meteor Garden' as a best friend to San Chai. Actually the character between Lovey Dovey Manga & Devil beside you is almost the same in someway.

Actually this drama is base from Manga series Akuma de Sourou (The Devil Does Exist). I just read the manga recently it's awesome. It published in 1999 with 41 chapter and the drama come with 20 episode. But the reception in ASIAN towards this drama is not as huge as 'Meteor garden' franchise. Me too watched this drama a year after the broadcast when 'Meteor Garden' gave a huge impact for Taiwanese drama in Asia.
Is simple, romantic, heart warming and lot of lovely scene. The character of 'Ahmon/Ah Meng' that attract me with this drama (not to mention Mike He so COOL).

STORY:

The story begins with Qi Yue planning to confess her liking to the basketball team captain, Yuan Yi. She wrote a love letter and plans to pass it to him. Being as careless as only she can be, she has made her confession to the wrong person, who happened to be the school's devil, Ah Meng (her junior, a first year student in school). She is so shocked and embarrassed to see Ah Meng's face that she drops her love letter in front of Ah Meng and runs away. Ah Meng picks up the letter.

Ah Meng is amused by the whole thing and decides to have some fun with Qi Yue. He threatens Qi Yue to print a thousand copies of her love letter and let the whole school know of her liking for Yuan Yi. In order to stop Ah Meng, Qi Yue agrees to be his 'runner'.

With Ah Meng's continuous bullying of Qi Yue, she is driven to stop all the nonsense by confessing her liking to Yuan Yi again. In this way, she will not be afraid of Ah Meng's disclosing the love letter anymore. To Qi Yue's surprise, Yuan Yi has a similar liking for her.

While Qi Yue assumes that the whole ordeal with the devil is going to end, she receives another piece of bad news - her mom is going to marry the school's chairman who is also Ah Meng's father, which means Ah Meng is going to be her stepbrother.

Qi Yue's love letter is being put up on the school notice board and she misunderstands that it is Ah Meng who did it. She confronts him and storms off. After realizing that she has misunderstood Ah Meng, she apologises to Ah Meng and pleads him to hit her so that she feels better - Ah Meng kisses her instead. Yuan Yi happens to see them kissing and confronts their relationship, Ah Meng yells at Yuan Yi, saying that he wants Qi Yue. After Yuan Yi runs away in anger, Qi Yue looks at Ah Meng and begins to sob. After Qi Yue walks away in tears, Ah Meng has a strong feeling of guilt.

Yuan Yi regrets not believing in Qi Yue and returns to her, asking her out on a date. Qi Yue agrees happily. On their first date, they met Ah Meng again. Qi Yue and Ah Meng have some misunderstandings and they went separate ways.
