Peach Girl (2002)
Episodes: 13
This show is based on the Japanese Shojo Manga of he same name. The manga counterpart is set in a high school setting this drama is set in college setting. You might notice that many Taiwanese drama that get their source material from Japanese manga that is set in a high setting it is usually changed to a college setting. In my opinion why I think its the case is that they can put in the story lines that deal with adult themes be more appropriate to be in a college setting. Sometimes it helps make the storylines a bit more realistic feeling.
Synopsis
Xiao Tao is a young girl entering college. Things just don't seem to be going right for her. She falls at the beach and spraining her ankle; she has unwittingly made the university's reigning princess, Sha Hui, her enemy. Dong Si, her secret crush, doesn't seem to know of her feelings, but she has the school's most popular playboy and troublesome, Ah Li, showering her with his attentions! This may prove to be just too much for the tall, shy, and athletic Xiao Tao until suddenly happiness comes her way: she and Dong Si begin dating! This happiness is short lived as the calculating Sha Hui is determined to be the number one girl, even if it means destroying Xiao Tao in the process. Also, standing on the sidelines is Ah Li who has made it known that the only girl for him is Xiao Tao. Can Dong Si and Xiao Tao manage to keep their relationship afloat? Will Sha Hui succeed in her devious plans? Or will Xiao Tao realise that the one that is truly for her is Ah Li? (from dramawiki)

This one you can watch it episode by episode
I am on the hunt for other better quality ones
As of right now this seems like the best place that I can find this drama. Picture quality is not that great but still alright. English subtitles are provided. The overall quality of this drama is outdated to begin with. What might be a downside for you its that its in 10minutes increments. It looks like each episode is divided up in 7 parts. If you looking for a drama with mean girl bully vibes than this is he drama for you. They did a good job in making you hate the character of Sha Hui. This is good if you looking for a quick drama to watch.
Thoughts on the Drama
This drama as many things with such a short amount of episodes. At times you might be frustrated with the misunderstandings and how they move the story forward.
Only continue reading if you watch the drama
Discussions:
Would Xiao Tao and Dong Si been good together if it wasn't for Sha Hui manipulative of ways of tearing them apart?
For me its a no and heres why. He never seem to be able to communicate with her good. Unlike Xiao Tao that was able to communicate her thoughts and feelings with him. He also had a hard time hearing her out. Forget about Sha Hui, I think he would have reacted the same regardless the reason.
