Plot
A unique company called Personal Tailor is run by four specialists: Yang Zhong, a wish planner; Xiao Bai, a scenario designer; Xiao Lu, a dream reconstruction expert; and Ma Qing, a psychological anesthetist. Their business revolves around fulfilling people's most outlandish dreams, no matter how bizarre or demanding. The team never turns down a request, embracing their company's slogan: "Making others happy, while making ourselves miserable."
Soon, a variety of eccentric clients come knocking on their door, each with a peculiar wish. The team faces a series of challenges, including: a self-proclaimed "most vulgar director" who aspires to cut ties with lowbrow entertainment and embrace high art; a taxi driver who voluntarily tests his integrity by resisting bribes and temptations in his quest to be an honest official; and a river cleaner named Dan whose birthday wish is simply to become rich.
As the team meticulously crafts dream-fulfillment plans for each client, an array of absurd, comical, and heartwarming situations unfold.{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2992152|title=Personal Tailor (2019) |website=IMDb |accessdate=September 2, 2019}}
