Mary Sue & Jack Sue(2017)

Mary Sue & Jack Sue is a Chinese drama that follows three women navigating love and friendship in the city. Ai Ma is a struggling actress, Niu Su Su a top sales consultant, and Li Zhi a gifted young woman. When they become roommates by chance, their bond deepens as they each pursue romance with different men—a warm childhood friend, a wealthy CEO returning from abroad, a charming flower boy, a quiet stoic type, and a carefree spirit. The series playfully deconstructs the "Mary Sue" and "Jack Sue" archetypes (overly idealized characters) to explore how modern urban adults navigate love, ambition, and personal values. It's a lighthearted look at friendship, romance, and the gap between fantasy and reality.
