Love or Spend (Chinese: 戀愛鄰è·é›¢; pinyin: lià n'à i lÃn jù lÃ) is a 2015 Taiwanese family television drama starring Kingone Wang, Ling Hung, Jolin Chien, Dayuan Lin and Li Jing Tian. Shooting began on October 23, 2015 and episodes aired as soon as the shoot finished. The original broadcast began on November 4, 2015 on SETTV, airing weekdays (Monday through Friday) at 8:00 pm.
Close friends often confuse each other for lovers, but not Pie Zhang Xi (Kin-gone Wang) and Mo Cheng Zen (Jennifer Hong). Their mothers are best friends, so they've been close since childhood. Zhang and Z hen's mom's always hoped their kids would fall in love and marry each other some day, but the two share no romantic feelings despite having known each other for decades. Ultimately, their mothers convince them to explore their individual love lives and find their soul mates by their 32nd birthdays. If they fail to find their matches, they have to marry each other.
