Oh, Pretty Woman

Chen Miao is a bubbly but uncouth 25-year-old woman who was brought up without manners by her loving but negligent and equally uncouth father. When her paths cross with Wei Dong, the son of a wealthy family headed by a notable judge, her life turns upside down. She falls in love with him at first sight, although he doesn’t really know what to make of her. Unfortunately, due to her father’s carelessness in causing a fire that damages the Weis’ property, she gets off on the wrong foot with Wei Dong and his family – and ends up having to work as the family’s maid. Chen Miao hopes to win Wei Dong’s heart. The rest of the family is horrified by her lack of manners and hatches a plan to engineer a relationship between Wei Dong and a “more suitable” young woman from a similarly wealthy family. Chen Miao tries to change her tactics by adopting “polite” ways – creating more awkwardness. Despite all this, Wei Dong starts to wonder if he is falling for her unconventional charms!

Directed by Zhang Tian Lin, Oh, Pretty Woman leans on a strong ensemble — Lin Zoey, Figaro Tseng, Jenna Wang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2018.
