13 Nov - Writer-director Yen Yi-wen has recently dismissed the idea that her new drama, "Born for the Spotlight" starring Cheryl Yang was a true story inspired by the drama's lead actress.

As reported on Sohu, a theory has recently gone viral online that the drama is a story about Cheryl's friendship and subsequent fallout with best friend Elva Hsiao. Some even said that the name of the character Hsueh Ya-chih, played by actress Hsieh Ying-xuan, even sounded similar to Elva's real name Hsiao Ya-chih.
