Love (literally the name of the drama translated from Chinese) is a Taiwanese Hokkien soap opera, first aired on Formosa TV back in 2006 for a total of 386 episodes. It became significantly popular in Singapore when the drama is imported over to Singapore's own Mediacorp Channel 8 TV and dubbed in Mandarin, starting in late 2008. The drama information can be found the other wiki.The drama became popular partly due to Mediacorp's failed attempts in garnering high ratings for their own long-running drama shows (Your Hand In Mine). Viewers praised Love for the cast's characterization and strong character development and refreshing stories as compared to Singapore's own local dramas. Detractors were many as well, who disliked the drama for being extremely long-winded (as such is the nature of soap operas) and occasionally ridiculous plots (especially towards the end).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There are many overlapping story arcs in Love, all featuring power struggles between different characters over various issues like land, wealth, politics, etc., and in particular focusing on how these struggles influence human relationships, be it romance or kinship. The show started out revolving around popular Taiwanese actress Chen Meifeng as Lin Chunhua and her family for about half of the entire drama. The drama also features the Song family and their Universal company which deals in textiles and fabrics, which gradually moves over in favour of the Hong family and their World Hotel story arc, which is arguably the most popular arc amongst many fans. The drama ratings suffered in both Taiwan and Singapore after the Politics Saga arrived, which is the final story arc, where upon the story script reintroduced former villains Guo Congmin and Xie Mingming, who were arguably the most popular characters in the show, in hope of boosting ratings again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Aborted Arc: This is frequent for dramas whose characters thrived on their popularity with the viewing audience, such as this one. They are namely: The feud between the two brothers Wang Wenqiang and Ma Yuankai (The latter stormed out of his brother's life without reappearing nor being mentioned again), Luo Shihong's revenge against Yang Zhengjie, Zhang Meiqin's attempt to make up to Hong Zhizhong who is her real biological son, and Xiaoyu's attempt to cheat Yang Zhengjie. | |

| Love (Taiwan Drama) / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: Mob Boss Masha and Representative Lai Wuji are arguably light versions of Antiheroes. Masha with the help of Amy Zhou and Hong Zhizhong (Back then the GM of United Hotel), seized the United Hotel from Guo Congmin and made himself the new Managing Director. Partly to punish Guo Congmin and partly in an attempt to go straight. The latter attempt failed, because he continued resorting to "mob tactics" to right wrongs for future episodes.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |
