Tie the Knot (Chinese: 媽咪的男朋友, literally, "Mommy's Boyfriend") is a 2014 Taiwanese romantic-comedy television series. The television drama was produced by Sanlih E-Television (SETTV), with Cheryl Yang as the female lead and Nylon Chen and Kingone Wang as the male leads. Shooting began on May 9, 2014, and the first episode aired on May 28, 2014 on SETTV.
Li Xiao Mei (Cheryl Yang) is a career woman who has a new boss, Huang Shi Jia (Nylon Chen), at the wedding-planning firm where she works. Ironically, she finds it difficult to find a man to marry because of past experiences with her father, but she has had a child using donated sperm and is raising the girl by herself. Wedding gown designer Liu Zi Jun (Kingone Wang) and her boss, Shi Jia, start to fall in love with her and each one tries to win her over.
The casting for the series recorded several firsts. Veteran actor Zhang Peihua, who played the role of Nylon Chen's father, had not filmed in Taiwan for the past 15 years, although he had occasionally appeared in theater performances. The series also marked the first time that singer Nylon Chen had landed a leading role. In preparation for his acting break, Chen stepped up his exercise regime, running and training in the gym, as well as dieting to improve his fitness. Chen played Huang Shi Jia, a stiff and strict character who was also able to be funny at times; Chen commented that he was surprised that he was so relaxed while acting, as he also has a reserved character.
Cheryl Yang returned to SETTV after four years away from the network; she had appeared in a succession of female lead roles on other networks since her career break on My Queen in 2009. She again took on the role of a mother, having previously starred as a single mother in the 2012 series Once Upon a Love. To prepare for the role, she spent time bonding with Dou Dou, who played her daughter in the series. To be able to call up her emotions and cry in one scene in which she was driving a car, Yang prepared by listening to the song "My Destiny" from the Korean television series My Love from the Star.
The series mainly filmed at Minsheng Pavilion (民生館進行劇中場地) and Amazing Hall (晶宴會館) in Taiwan; these locations were used as banquet halls and wedding reception venues for the characters.
