The Magicians of Love (Chinese: ; pinyin: Ai Qing Mo Fa Shi) is a 2006 Taiwanese drama produced by Sanlih, starring Ming Dao, Jacky Zhu, Ehlo Huang from Taiwanese boyband 183 Club, and with Joanne Tseng from Sweety as the main leads. The series ran from February 12, 2006 to July 9, 2006 on Sanlih's TTV channel, with 22 episodes total.
Three top hairstylists in town, Artz (Matt Lin, aka Ming Dao), Riche (Sam Wang), and Fernando (Jacky Chu) opens the "Neo-Image Hair Salon" just opposite to the traditional barber's shop run by Little Bei (Joanne Tseng) and her father. The new "Neo-Image Hair Salon" is also a big blow to Ming (Ehlo Huang), apprentice of Little Bei's father who always claims to be Little Bei's boyfriend. Worse still, Little Bei becomes attracted to the charismatic top hairstylists, especially Artz and Riche. What will become the future of Little Bei's shop and her love life.
The world-famous hair salon franchise, Neo-Image has opened and its top three hairstylists - Ya Si (Ming Dao), Er Qi (Sam Wang Shao Wei), and Fei Nan Du's (Jacky Zhu Fan Gang) handsome hairstyles attracted huge crowds. At this time, a foreign affairs government official rushed over and asked them for help. It turns out that a shampoo company is conducting an event called the "Asian Hairstyle Competition" and they have hired a part-time female hairstylist to compete against the top-notch French hairstylist. Their objective is to help advertise the French Hair products. Since this event will seriously belittle the country's image, Ya Si and the guys decided to help out.
Ya Si and the guys replaced the part-time female hairstylist to help gain some glory for their country. When the dazzling model came out with the beautiful hairstyle, Ya Si and the guys received cheers fit for a hero. The female hairstylist that they chased off the stage is none other than Nuo Ruo Yi (Xiao Bei), a worker from "Zhong Nan Barbershop," Neo-Image's neighbor over the next alley. Even though Ya Si has chased Xiao Bei off the stage, but seeing her snip her first cut, he decided that she has quite the talent and secretly plots to win her over.
Neo-Image's grand opening is a serious blow to the family-run style "Zhong Nan Barbershop." Zhong Nan's owner is called Lao Bei (Zhao Shun) and he opened up this barbershop after retiring from the army. Now that there is a brand new and fashionable hair salon at the front of the alley, it is only natural that their customers are decreasing day by day. Even more importantly is that his daughter, Xiao Bei's heart, has already been deeply captivated by Neo-Image's glory.
