Peach Girl

Xiao Tao is a tall, shy, and athletic, young girl entering college. Things just don't seem to be going right for her. She falls at the beach and sprains her ankle. She unwittingly makes the university's reigning princess, Sha Hui, her enemy. Dong Si, her secret crush, doesn't seem to know of her feelings. But Ah Li, the school's most popular and troublesome playboy, is showering her with attention! This may be too much for Xiao Tao, until happiness suddenly comes her way. She and Dong Si begin dating! Her happiness is short-lived, however, as the calculating Sha Hui is determined to be the number one girl, even if it means destroying Xiao Tao in the process. Meanwhile, standing on the sidelines, is Ah Li, who has made it known that the only girl for him is Xiao Tao. Can Dong Si and Xiao Tao keep their relationship afloat? Will Sha Hui succeed in her devious plans? Or will Xiao Tao realize that Ah Li is really the one for her?

Directed by Miwa Ueda, Peach Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Vanness Wu, Annie Wu, Kenji Wu — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2001.
