So I Married an Anti-Fan Review

I recently watch a great Chinese movie called So I Married an Anti-Fan. It's features K-pop stars like Park Chan Yeol of EXO and Girls Generation's Seo Joo Hyun and Chinese actress Yuan Shan Shan.
I follows the story of Female journalist Miaomiao Fang (Yuan Shan Shan) who accidentally snaps a photo of top Korean star Zhun Hou (Park Chan Yeol) in the restroom of a nightclub and finds out the dark secrets of his personal life.
Zhun trying to protect his image forces Miaomiao's magazine to fire her.Now, despite of losing her job and apartment Miaomiao gains a new propose in life, Destroy Zhun Hou.
This South Korean-Chinese collaboration is worth watching. I give it a 8-10.
