Are idols lovers in real life?

Are idols lovers in real life?

DOWN With Love is the show that has triggered a massive transformation in Taiwanese actor and F4 member Jerry Yan.

Known for his role as Dao Ming Si in 2001 Taiwanese drama series Meteor Garden, in which he became an overnight sensation among teenage girls, the poor chap has developed a reputation of being a difficult and aloof star.

In truth, Yan, who does a lot of charity work, is just slow to show the softer side of his personality.

During a press conference for Down With Love in Hangzhou, Yan, 33, revealed that his co-star, Ella Chen of Taiwanese girl-group S.H.E., has had an influence on him, inspiring him to adopt a more cheery outlook and a more playful demeanour.

He has also been seen bantering with Chen during photo shoots, a far cry from his awkward former persona.

No surprise, since Chen, 28, is well known as a fun-loving energizer bunny.

The 25-episode romantic comedy is currently screening in Taiwan. Yan plays cold, ruthless lawyer Xiang Yuping, who hires Yang Guo (Chen's character) as a nanny to take care of his problematic nephew and niece after his brother died.

The pair, of course, fall in love as Yang eventually melts Xiang's heart.

This idol drama has been hailed as one of the top 10 Taiwanese series to watch this year.

While the show has started its run here on Channel U, you can also catch the drama on streaming website sugoideas, which will be updated constantly with new episodes as soon as they air in Taiwan.

Rest assured that you'll not be breaking any media laws - the website's disclaimer states that it does not host downloadable files, and that you're watching publicly accessible content via streaming.

Here's another tidbit for fans of Yan and Chen: Word has it that the two had hit it off and became, ahem, "very good friends" after filming the show.

Is there more than meets the eye to this idol pairing? Tune in, and watch for clues.
