A light and fun drama with multiple leads, if you don’t take things too seriously
“Perfect Math” is a light and fun Cdrama with multiple characters that take turn to be the leads. Each of them is the perfect match for their partner. My most favorite couple is the fourth lady and her husband. They are just so adorable! I also think they are the only healthy couple and can make sense in real life, while the others are too exaggerating and illogical.My least favorite couple is the fifth lady and her husband, as compared to others, their story doesn’t make sense the most, and it’s the most dramatic one. They are still fun to watch with good chemistry, although they don’t really have any physical intimacy scenes together.
Don’t take anything too seriously when watching this series. I don’t think this is about women's empowerment or any serious label you want to call it. For me it’s just a pure lighthearted comedy and romance.
I also love the loving relationship between the sisters and their mother. It’s not common in a Cdrama to see this kind of family bonding. I enjoyed watching the son-in-law alliance too. It’s really fun and unique. I haven’t seen any historical drama with this kind of alliance!
I wish there would be more scenes to dig deeper into the relationship between the adopted sister and her husband. The ending feels a little bit rushed that makes me a little confused. I would like to see more scenes of the couples, and I wish to see their kids, not just mentioned.

A Perfectly Matched Couple
I like this series very much. The plot is light, humorous, and really enjoyable to follow while it is still ongoing. Among the five couples, my favorite is the first daughter and her husband. I think they give off a mature couple vibe. They are educated, polite, and calm. They fit each other perfectly. The wife nurtures her 'childish' husband, but at the same time, she can also lean entirely on him. The actor and actress portray their characters perfectly—I really like their on-screen chemistry.Actually, I really like the son-in-law alliance scene, but unfortunately, there are too few of those scenes in this series 😁😁😁

Marriage is a work in progress for both partners
A story of the Li family to find a husband for the five daughters, who have different and distinct characters.This story shows that a marriage will not always be perfect. They must understand both their strengths and weaknesses to make it work. Each daughter got a set of stories, and little by little both the wife and husband, especially the husband, learned to adjust to their hard-to-crack wives.
I love the son-in-law alliance. Despite their constant betrayal, they manage to help each other make amends with their wives and lead peaceful lives.
The sisters were definitely sticking to each other through ups and downs. What a wonderful opportunity to see how the family united, especially in the hardest part of life.
A big applause to Madam Li. This story shows what a mother can sacrifice for her children. She is tough but very soft with her daughters. Such behavior shows that whatever happens, children will always count on their mother.
Definitely my favorite story was the fourth daughter, Haode, and Shen Hui Zao. Their story is refreshing, where both of them were honest and took a stand for their values.
Overall, this is wonderful to watch. What a wonderful set of stories in one drama.

Perfect Match did a great job of showing the bonds between the Li family as well as throwing in comedic moments. I loved seeing how much they loved each other, if someone had a problem all the other sisters would meet up to try and help. The bonds between the sisters was the main reason I wanted to watch and why I continued to watch. Also loved how conflicts were quickly resolved it(In any other show all those relatives coming to steal the Li's assets would've dragged out for way too long.) helped me not feel as irritated with the villains and kept the show interesting. Kangning's arc started off interesting but I quickly got tired of the back and forth. I felt like Shuohua's arc had a lot of potential that was wasted. I wish they explored more of Shuohua's character in her ways of expressing love. What I mean is that she feels different from her sisters in her relationship because of how closed off she feels. She cares about Yangxi but there's also a wall whether it be her past marriage and how much she cared for him or being the eldest daughter and feeling a responsibility to her mothers and sisters after her father's death. Leshan's arc was fun (sometimes that annoying character just needs to be beaten up no need to spend 10 eps thinking of a way to get payback) but the scheming and annoying in laws got irritating fast. I thought the relationship between her and Yang Xian was cute, glad she found someone that loved her fighting spirit instead of being with someone that she had to bite her tongue around.
Haode's arc felt like it had a darker tone than the rest of the show but that's probably just the nature of having to constantly be around the justice system. The writing for the relationship between her and Huizhao was very sweet and felt a lot more balanced than the other relationships (Fuhui, Kangning, and Shouhua are all calling the shots in their marriages). I also liked how the arc utilized Leshan because before this both Haode and Leshan were kind of just in the background. There's feels like the three oldest sisters are closer to each other while the two youngest are closer to each other (probably because everyone wanted to shield them from the reality of their situation and allowed them to run around and play).
A weak part of Perfect Match was showing the passage of time. I knew time was going by but it was hard to know how much time was going by unless it was explicitly shown. All the characters looked the exact same throughout the show and the only change in style they had was when they got married. But overall the show was enjoyable. The bond between the sisters was my favorite.

If you enjoy heartfelt stories with family warmth and diverse romances, this is worth watching.
For me, this drama was entertaining and a nice one!. While the first few episodes didn’t immediately hook me, I became deeply invested as the story progressed. With 36 episodes, this drama managed to keep things fresh and engaging, almost like a collection of mini-dramas. One of the most compelling aspects of this drama was the different love stories centered around the five sisters. Each sister had a unique journey to finding their perfect match. Let's rank the couples ( obviously based on my thoughts!😁)Fourth Sister’s Couple: The most compelling and emotionally rich romance. Their chemistry was natural, and their story had the perfect blend of drama and warmth. I loved how they managed to communicate with each other and solve probable misunderstandings.
First Sister’s Couple: A mature and well-developed relationship. Their journey felt realistic and touching, making them one of the strongest pairs. Though she had some unnecessary concerns, her partner did a good job here!
Fifth Sister’s Couple: Enjoyable with a charming dynamic, though their arc lacked the depth but still enjoyed..
Second Sister’s Couple: A minor subplot with little screen time. Not impactful.
Third Sister’s Couple: The first 6-7 episodes focused on them, and honestly, I didn’t enjoy their arc much. Their chemistry didn’t draw me in, making the beginning of the drama feel slow and slightly off-putting.
The mother was a standout—brave and unconditionally supportive. The strong sisterly bond added emotional depth beyond romance. Though slow at first, the drama became so engaging that I finished it in just three days! If you enjoy heartfelt stories with family warmth and diverse romances, this is worth watching.

Personally the 3rd sister and the first sister's marriage was a little boring. My favorite was probably the 4th sister's. But the 5th sisters' marriage was probably the most entertaining to watch. The drama is naturally funny, and I loved the mom. She's super funny and it makes the show so halirious.
The only issue I had with watching this show, was some of the scenes were really boring and then you thought that one of the sister's story was over, but really it's not. So it felt like it took forever to watch the show even though it more of a "shorter" drama since it only have 36 episodes.

"Bridgerton" ala chinese
PLOT: Mother Li arrives in the capital with her 4 unmarried daughters (the eldest is a young widow), to join her 5th married daughter. They decide to start a business to make a living. The girls will find suitable husbands (different approaches and personalities) after overcoming all kinds of difficulties.+++ “Bridgerton” in a Chinese style, with the successive romances of the 5 women of this family (entirely girls, this time :)
+++ A bunch of great actors (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
+++ Good balance of emotions, mystery/investigation, humor, romance.
+++ Dynamic production, fairly coherent storyline.
+++ Excellent OST and sound animations.
### Some CLs are more endearing than others: The youngest girl's character is excessive, for example.
### The repetitive arcs create some lenghts ... And after a couple ties the knot/gets married, we no longer have any news about their married life. :(
=> Good romantic and family series
*******************************************************************************
PLOT: La mère Li arrive dans la capitale avec ses 4 filles célibataires (dont 1 veuve), pr rejoindre sa fille mariée. Elles décident de monter un commerce pr vivre. Les filles vont une à une, trouver des maris appropriés (approches et personnalités différentes) après avoir surmonté ttes sortes de difficultés.
+++ "Bridgerton" à la sauce chinoise, avec les romances successives des enfants de la famille (cette fois, des filles :)
+++ A bunch of great actors (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
+++ Bon équilibre d'émotions, mystère / investigation, humour, romance.
+++ Réalis° dynamique, storyline à peu près cohérente.
+++ Excellentes OST et animations sonores.
### Certains CL sont plus attachants que d'autres : Le personnage de la benjamine est excessif, par exemple.
=> Bonne série romantique et familiale

Almost dropped, but got better halfway
This was a drama that I started because I liked many of the actors and actresses casted. However, I soon found myself disappointed—not with the acting, but the storyline and characters among other issues. I do acknowledge that it got a lot better from about halfway through the end, when it was fourth sister’s story. They’re my favorite haha.Anyway, overall the editing was choppy and jumped here and there without explanations. The pacing could’ve also been better, like expanding more episodes for the brother and second sister’s love stories. It was alright and entertained me while I was in a drama slump.

Interesting premise, poor script
Perfect Match isn't your usual slice of life romance. It features a family of strong, independent and cunning women who deeply support and care for each other. The strength of it lies in that every characters is flawed, and nothing is "perfect".Where it falls apart, however, is the narrative form. The plot skips from relationship to relationship and the strings that should hold the narrative together are tenuous at best. There was no character development once the match was secured, so it felt like jumping from one couple together rather than a cohesive story of the sisters and their lives. Honestly, it was a push to finish.
Acting was on-point, the music was good, but nothing outstanding. The set, costumes, etc were all typical of an idol drama.
Most of the complaints I have seen have critiqued the flawed male characters, but I found the female characters just as flawed - albeit in different ways. For example, the script weirdly justified physical abuse when it was applied by women - and the even made it a main point of humour. This subversion - that every character is flawed - is what I actually enjoyed, and is rarely seen in idol dramas.
Overall, it was a 6/10 because apart from the flawed characters and my love of strong female leads, the plot and way the story was told was just disappointing and the sets, acting, etc were all good, but nothing outstanding.

Romances of 5 daughters
==Breakdown==Background plot - 30%
Romance - 40%
Misc comedy - 30%
Background plot - fine
Romantic chemistry - it varied from AMAZING to *meh*
Misc comedy - fine
Production value - fine
I dropped this one in the middle of the last daughter's story since I was no longer enjoying the show (and life is to short to be a completist).
Couples ranked in terms of chemistry and story:
Third daughter / 1st story: EXCELLENT story and chemistry-- these two characters and actors really sold their romance and chemistry.
Fourth daughter / 3rd story: Good story, great chemistry-- the chemistry between the actors saved the story.
First daughter / 2nd story: Okay story, good chemistry-- the female lead was much, much stronger than the male lead. She was awesome and he was mid. I definitely think he was miscast and the weakest of the leads.
Fifth daughter / last story: Redundant story, abysmal chemistry-- the actors were fine, but maybe the female lead was too young (IRL) to be playing this role. It's like she didn't know how to have romantic chemistry with anyone.
Overall story was fine. I won't re-watch, but I enjoyed watching it up to episode 29 or so.
