Story: What happens when a goody-two-shoes simple nice woman meets with a playboy hell-bent to make her his? You'll get "What is Love" - a drama filled with comedy and touching moments. This drama showcase Taiwanese romantic dramas at its best. We have a female lead (Li Yi Hua) who is average in looks, sweet, nice, with a stable job but still single at 32. After seeing how her friends got hitched one by one with some already with a family of their own, Yi Hua became desperate for marriage. At this moment of her life, enters our male lead (Bai Zong You) - an unrepentant and somewhat narcissistic playboy. In Zong You's eyes, he's not a playboy, but rather a man in search of 'love'. His definition of 'love' is 'being happy and enjoying the moment'. Unfortunately, his duration of such 'happiness' lasted only until after he had bedded the woman. Zong You believed that sex is the culmination of 'love' while Yi Hua believed that marriage is the culmination of 'love'. Through an accident of fate, Yi Hua caught the eye of Zong You who then plotted with his friends to woo her. At first, Yi Hua fell for Zong You's trap but she accidentally discovered his true nature very early on -hence, starts the interesting push-and-pull game they play at each other. They each wanted each other to succumb and accept their point of views. Who will emerge the victor? Watch this little gem to find out! Once again, I am treated to a wonderful (but simple) story of a male lead who is relentless in his pursue of the female lead. After Yi Hua found out about Zong You's nature and his distorted view of 'love', her opinion of him soured and she became uninterested in him. In fact, she started to get interested in Zhang Shao Qian (the second male lead) who is a responsible man with very practical views on love and marriage (the exact opposite of Zong You). This presented a problem to Zong You who is determined to woo Yi Hua to prove his point on 'love'. What I like about this drama is how there is character growth for both Yi Hua and Zong You. I liked the parts where they both spoke to their ex-es and learned how wrong they were on their respective views on 'love'. They both eventually learn 'What is Love'. Be warned though! This drama is an emotional roller-coaster ride! You'll laugh yourself silly in one moment and the next going through your tissue box like there's no tomorrow! Acting/Cast: All of the cast are seasoned actors and actresses. Even the supporting actors and actresses did really well. The reason for my 1 mark short of perfect score for acting is because of the second male lead. His acting is the worst of the lot. His facial expressions looked fake and forced. There is no emotion conveyed in his eyes and body language at all. It is obvious that he should not be an actor. Period. A better choice for second male lead would have increased the quality and enjoyment of this drama. Music: I love the OSTs in this drama, especially Bii's "You Give Me Love". Rewatch value: There are many cute and funny moments between the leads as well as emotional moments that tear at your heart that you may want to re-watch again and again. The leads have a very good chemistry. Noticeably, Chris Wu shone in his role as Bai Zong You. I only wish they make romantic TDramas like these now. In my opinion, the years 2008 to 2012 are the best years for romantic TDramas. Post-2012, things started to go downhill. Overall: Good enjoyment and highly recommended to all you romantics at heart! I scored this drama an overall 8.5/10.
