The movie is pure fluff from start to finish, and hardly original in content: a young woman, wounded by her first love, panics when she falls for a handsome, laidback doctor (the original title literally means “Philophobia”). But now, at the age of 29, and cast opposite Taiwan heartthrob Chen Bolin 陈柏霖, she emerges as a fully mature comedienne-actress. After starting her movie career in two films directed by Wang Yuya 王毓雅 ( Karate Girls 空手道少女组, 2003 Love Me, If You Can 飞跃情海, 2003), Lin then made her name in TV dramas. But then a new problem arises with her undeclared love for Lu Zhehan: the arrival of the beautiful doctor Li (Lu Mingjun), who has been away on research in Beijing.Ī slick rom-com by Chinese American Long Yi 龙毅, Lovesick 恋爱恐慌症 is a terrific comeback vehicle for Taiwan actress-singer Lin Yichen 林依晨 after a big-screen absence of seven years. After a rocky start, Liang Ruoqing and Lu Xiaorou finally become friends. In fact, the photo is of his beloved younger sister, Lu Xiaorou (Yuan Xinyu), who is a patient in the hospital and has been suffering from a serious spinal injury since a car accident in her teens. The two finally go out for dinner, during which she discovers he already has a girlfriend. Panicking, and helped by Chen Qin and young nurse Xiao’an (Huang Peijia), she tries everything to resist his charms, even though Lu Zhehan is more interested in his work than seducing her. One day, despite all her alarm systems going off, she falls head-over-heels for the new young head of neurosurgery, Lu Zhehan (Chen Bolin). Between working at a flower shop run by best friend CoCo (Yang Zishan), Liang Ruoqing starts as a volunteer at the hospital of her grandfather (Tao Chuanzheng), where she works on a Laughter Therapy Programme for bedridden patients. Her distrust of men is fuelled by a women’s support group run by Chen Qin (Lang Zuyun) that she joined after returning, shattered, to Taiwan. Five years after falling for a handsome pop singer, Aaron Cui (Li Yifeng), while a student in China and then discovering he was two-timing her, Liang Ruoqing (Lin Yichen) still has a phobia of falling in love. Taiwan’s Lin Yichen bounces back into movies with a slick rom-com about a love-shy young woman.
