I get super excited during the week lead up to every new Sunday episode of Marry Me or Not. This is one drama that has managed to be the best aspects of Taiwan dramas do the best – silly slap stick blended with nuanced emotional development.

Suzy is everywhere these days and now her presence is being felt down South in Taiwan with a brand new high profile ad campaign.
