has a car accident that accidentally awakens Xue Lingqiao, a \"gene mutant\" who has slept for a hundred years.<sup>[5](https://wetv.vip/en/play/mtaqddutnmw7fng-My_Amazing_Boyfriend_S1)</sup> Xue Lingqiao is impervious to pain, injury, aging, and death, and he has walked the human world for centuries; Apple TV's synopsis describes him as a 500-year-old mutant with supernatural powers.<sup>[6](https://tv.apple.com/us/show/my-amazing-boyfriend/umc.cmc.53qxsa2iin8uegbxbviy70pwa)</sup> Because Jingzhi inadvertently saved his life, he heals her injuries in return and promises to protect her.<sup>[7](https://www.soompi.com/article/1385059wpp/6-modern-fantasy-and-supernatural-c-dramas-and-tw-dramas-to-add-to-your-watchlist)</sup>\n\nXue Lingqiao then moves into Tian Jingzhi's apartment, by turns pressuring and persuading his way in, while she pretends indifference and secretly schemes to drive out the \"monster\" sharing her home.<sup>[5](https://wetv.vip/en/play/mtaqddutnmw7fng-My_Amazing_Boyfriend_S1)</sup> Their bickering gradually warms into romance, and as their feelings become clear, a conspiracy spanning more than a century slowly comes to light, connected to the cause of Xue Lingqiao's death long ago.<sup>[1](https://www.cpophome.com/my-amazing-boyfriend-janice-wu-kim-tae-hwan/)</sup> The investigation thread runs through the series: the forensic researcher Li Yanzhi probes abnormal blood loss and a missing body, and the drama's climax turns on Xue Lingqiao's discovered weakness, that at thirty degrees below zero his regenerative abilities go dormant and his body enters suspended animation.<sup>[8](https://www.cpophome.com/my-amazing-boyfriend-janice-wu-kim-tae-hwan/recap/)</sup>\n\n### Cast and

user votes, with one win and one nomination listed.<sup>[12](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6227258/)</sup> CPOP HOME users rate it 7.8 out of 10 from 33 ratings.<sup>[1](https://www.cpophome.com/my-amazing-boyfriend-janice-wu-kim-tae-hwan/)</sup> In a Soompi retrospective of 2016 dramas, the series was described as a fun, quirky mix of fantasy, romance, and comedy with polished production and natural humor, and Wu Qian's portrayal of Tian Jingzhi, energetic, bold, and endearingly real, was singled out, along with the witty chemistry between the two leads.<sup>[13](https://www.soompi.com/article/1829907wpp/5-c-dramas-from-2016-to-watch-in-2026)</sup> The same outlet noted the heroine's friendship with Xuanxuan and her amicable relationships with her ex-boyfriends as among the drama's most entertaining elements.<sup>[7](https://www.soompi.com/article/1385059wpp/6-modern-fantasy-and-supernatural-c-dramas-and-tw-dramas-to-add-to-your-watchlist)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
