My review:
A romance drama with common story about a man and a woman who falls in love with each other but they are facing many trouble cause of the different family background. The story is interesting at the beginning but i think theres too much dragging in the last 5 ep. I skipped so much scenes although i still finished it coz i want to know the ending.

I Love U Love U Love I (Taiwanese Drama)


Genre: Drama, Romance, Family, Friendship

Synopsis:
Wang Dan Dan and Luo Jia He grew up as siblings even though they have different biological parents. They never thought of themselves as being more than family. But when girl/boyfriend entered the picture and marriage was in the talk, they realized their feelings for one another was more than just sibling love.

My review:
I love that this drama is simple and make you giggle because they have sweet sour relationship with each other which is lovable. This drama also make me want to visit hokkaido so freaking bad. Its just so beautiful and fascinating. The only thing i wish i could change is the ending. I think there should be more story of them at the ending :)
