6. “My Amazing Boyfriend” is inspired by the popular Korean drama “My Love From the Star.”
It has its own original characters and entertaining plot, but has the similar premise of a man with superhero-like powers coming into contact with an unfortunate actress. Despite its similarities to “My Love From the Star,” this Chinese romance has a very unique story line, so many fans of the original Korean drama will still enjoy the new twist!
7. This new drama is incredibly popular in China
It gained over 10 million views on its first day, and over 40 million views by the second day. Its number of viewers has only increased as it continues to air!
8. Our handsome male lead happens to have the same voice actor that dubbed one of the royals in “The Imperial Doctress” as his dubber.
The female lead, Wu Qian, is also dubbed over despite the fact she is actually Chinese, and her voice is from the same voice actress that was YoonA’s voice in “God of War, Zhao Yun.”
9. “My Amazing Boyfriend” even has something special about its OST, and that is that two of the tracks are sung by Korean singer JUST.
His voice may seem familiar because he has recorded the OST track “Because Of You” for “Healer” and the OST track “I Love You” for “My Love From the Star.” The OST tracks that JUST has recorded for this enduring Chinese drama are “My Love” and “No Fear”; he even sang in Mandarin to do so!
With so many ties to “My Love From the Star,” it is a surprise that this drama is not more popular in the K-drama community!
10. The writer of “My Amazing Boyfriend” is a young Chinese novelist named Shui Qian-Mo.
She has now written over a dozen successful novels by her current age of 26, five of which were recognized before she turned 21. Thought she never graduated high school, this talented writer has a substantial reputation and has now become the writer of a popular Chinese drama!
