Smiling Pasta

Xiao Shi (Cyndi Wang), perpetually unlucky in love, struggles with a "three-month curse" that has ended her past 17 relationships. When her latest boyfriend dumps her on the street, she collides with famous idol He Qun (Nicolas Teo), who is fleeing paparazzi. Their accidental "kiss" creates a tabloid scandal, implicating He Qun in two-timing his recently ex-girlfriend Rita (Joyce Zhao). To manage the media fallout, He Qun's manager convinces Xiao Shi to enter a fake engagement, challenging her notorious relationship pattern. As they navigate this contractual relationship, they must determine whether their staged romance can overcome Xiao Shi's seemingly inevitable relationship expiration date. "Smiling Pasta" is a 2006 Taiwanese drama directed by Ding Yang Guo and Shen Yi, which remakes the popular 2004 Korean drama series "Full House."
