Let's talk about 爱情公寓4 - iPartment 4

爱情公寓4  - iPartment 4

In this first post I want to describe what's up with the fourth season of a fairly popular TV series, since many people are still talking about it. It's English name is iPartment, it has a long plot (which I will later describe on other posts) and interesting actors.
If you want to start watching a Chinese TV series, why don't you watch it? It has been so successful that they are now airing season 4, so it might be worth giving a try.

It deals with love, love, gossip and still... love. Its title makes it clear, by the way. If you don't like this topic you should still consider watching it, since it's a lighthearted and warming series good to spend an afternoon on.
It's also a good way to practice Chinese... ;)

A small description of the fourth season.

It’s still directed by Wei Zheng, its screenwriter is Wang Yuan. Chen He, Lou Yixiao, Deng Jiajia,  Wang Zhuanqun, Sun Yizhou, Li Jinming, Li Jiachuan and others are the main actors in the series. 

For those who have never watched it, it's all about young men and women from different backgrounds who stay in the same flat. (They sometimes look like prisoners... I'm not sure I would like to live in such a place) 
All the characters are unique in their own way, sometimes they are strange, romantic, ridiculous... It's a given that they are never boring.
It was first aired on 1/17/2014 on Anhui, Heilongjiang and other China eastern channels.

Plot (I will try to spoil as little as I can ;) )

Actress Liu Meng Meng as Nuo Lan

Lou Yixiao as Hu Yifei

Hu Yifei and Nuo Lan show up again. Nuo Lan is a new character from the third season, she is a new radio co-host who falls in love with her colleague, mr. Zeng Xiaoxian. Another woman loves him as well. Her name is Hu Yifei and she doesn't try her best to be the nicest lady in the room.

Hu Yifei is competing against Nuo Lan to win a match but somehow gets wounded. 
Zeng Xiaoxian's luck is gone away during the show “Who wants to become a millionaire?”. That looks like a problem.

Deng Jiajia as Tang Youyou

So, on one side there is a sweet Nuo Lan, from the other a strong, nasty Yifei. Who will get close to Zeng Xiaoxian and conquer him? Xiaoxian’s choice goes beyond all expectations. (really, I was surprised as well)

Eric Wang as Guan Gu

Another character, Tang Youyou accepted Guan Gu’s magical proposal, but now Guan Gu discovered Youyou isn’t really pregnant. Inside the really small apartment, after all, who is pregnant? Who is the father of the child?

Guan Gu starts to make a painstakingly investigation but he cannot find out the truth. 

The story continues with more trouble between the main characters, rumours and gossip and much more. Of course, there is much more love. Yeah (-.-)...

So, what if you want to watch it?
Well, you can find it on youtube and enjoy for free. I don't know about other streaming sites so tell me if you know more!
