Love or Spend (Chinese: 戀愛鄰距離; pinyin: liàn'ài lín jù lí; literally "Love the Neighbor Distance") is a 2015 Taiwanese family television drama starring Kingone Wang, , Jolin Chien, and Li Jing Tian. Shooting began on October 23, 2015, and wrapped up on February 22, 2016. 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 Pei Zheng Xi (Kingone Wang) and Mo Cheng Zhen (Jennifer Hong). Their mothers are best friends, so they've been close since childhood. Zheng Xi and Cheng Zhen's mothers have 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.
