Synopsis:
Four guys, three girls, one apartment. Fast talking, packed with jokes, and brimming with historical and pop-culture references, iPartment chronicles the sometimes funny, sometimes bizarre, sometimes romantic, and sometimes touching antics and adventures of the Love Apartment residents. They never met, until a coincidental chance allowed them to get to know each other and eventually walk down the red carpet of happiness to wedded bliss. Touched by their love story, the building owner gives Tiezhu and Erniu two presents on their wedding day. This first is to rename the building to “Love Apartment” in their honor. The second is to give all couples in love living in the apartment free water and electricity and 50% off rent. Wedding crashers Lu Ziqiao and Chen Meijia nearly die from delight at this announcement. Despite the fact that they know and hate each other, Ziqiao and Meijia can’t resist what is on a silver platter in front of them. Making a huge scene, they profess their love for each other and move into Love Apartment. But keeping the con going proves harder than they anticipated with the rest of the nosy and crazy residents of Love Apartment.
