Zhao Weiwei is a professional comedian with jokes etched into her very soul. To save her career, she is forced to join a top-tier dating reality show called Heartbeat Signal. Her goal is simple: get her face out there, make some money, and, if possible, promote the small theater she is on the verge of losing. She treats the show as a comedy performance that deserves her full commitment, turning the matchmaking sessions into her own stand-up stage. When a male contestant confesses his love, she gives an impromptu lesson in playing Fur Elise with fart sounds. At a candlelit dinner, she and a waiter spontaneously perform A Mafia Deal: How Well Done Do You Want Your Steak?
She is focused on her career, specifically her comedy career, and never imagines that this refreshing take on reality TV will drive the entire entertainment industry wild. A top-tier star and award-winning actor admits on a livestream, "My ideal type is... a girl who can make me laugh." A rock legend writes her a love song: "You're like a comedy bomb that smashed my world to pieces." And the sharp-tongued producer CEO who initially couldn't stand her eventually corners her against a wall, eyes red, and asks, "Zhao Weiwei, when are you finally going to take me seriously, and me alone?"
At its heart, this is more than a "who knew I could fall for them" love story. It's also a coming-of-age epic about a woman staying true to herself and breaking the rules. In an age of entertainment for entertainment's sake, it explores why sincerity and humor can be the most powerful weapons.
