You Are Mine, also known as Jue Dui Zhan Ling or Chueh Tui Chan Ling, is an ongoing Taiwanese BL drama. The genre of this drama is romance comedy, and it features one of the most beloved fan-favorite tropes – office romance between a boss and his secretary. Additionally, the show also sheds light on trauma, kidnapping, and the colorful LGBTQ+ community.
The main lead, Yao Shun Yu, played by Hsiao Hung, is a new employee at Xia’s company. All the staff members working for Xia are known for their good looks and perfect bodies; however, Yao isn’t one of those. Rather than that, he can be appropriately described as a rabbit in the dangerous jungle who has signed his life away to the boss of this jungle.
Xia Shang Zhou is the cranky young boss who often teases him and pushes him over the edge. But Yao doesn’t think the same. He believes that if Xia worked hard, he could lead a much better life. Although Yao’s job is stressful, his boss is cranky, and he is frustrated. He thinks that he can endure all of it. But there must be at least one thing that might push him over the edge, right or not?
