Jie Jie Jie Hun, Wo Ye Jie (2025)

Entertaining romcom about sisters and their husbands

I enjoy The Canaries Are Escaping Again so when I saw this poster on release day, I had high hopes. I didn't know any of the cast but that was fine. Overall I enjoyed this drama.

What I liked:
1. Main couple - Wow, there were plenty of kissing & playful banter between the main couple. They got along well and genuinely liked each other.
2. Acting - Wu Yi Qiao, Hou Peng Yan and Niu Jing Jie were great in their roles. There was chemistry between Wu Yi Qiao and Hou Peng Yan.
3. FL characterisation - She was bubbly and charming. I liked that she couls get out of the kidnapping.
4. ML characterisation - I liked that he was patient and nice. He knew his wife so well that he pursued her for explanation after she left.
5. Lunch - That lunch with the girl who disliked the sisters was funny. Serves her right for wanting to sabotage the sisters.
6. Livestream - Those scenes were entertaining. I laughed out loud during the kidnapping.
7. Styling - That black pleather-white shirt-black tie-black trousers combo looked good on Hou Peng Yan. Funny because I had seen that combo worn by Qian Zhe, Cao Tian Kai, He Cong Rui. I also liked the clothes worn by SFL.

What I disliked:
1. Secondary couple - I liked that both were career-focused and had serious personality. However I was dismayed that there wasn't affection between them even in their converations.
2. Acting - There wasn't any chemistry between SFL & SML. SML is the least developed character so pity that the actor didn't have much to do with his character.
3. Antagonist - Sh2 was jealous of FL. Glad she got her comeuppance.
4. FL's action - I was irritated when she decided to separate from her husband just because her older sister was doing it first. Such a kid!

Nice premises but need improvement for second couple arc

I watched this last year and the premises is quite interesting. FL has severe sister complex. To be with her sister, she marries her brother-in-law's younger brother. Then, because her brother-in-law is suspected of cheating and she want to divorce.
ML has to appease FL while also ensuring the happiness of his older brother and sister-in-law's marriage, acting as their love protector or their punchback.

Wu Yiqiao's portrayal of FL is adorable and endearing, but on few scenes it feels artificial. Hou Pengyan's as family punchback from FL, SML and FL older sister was quite hilarious and pitiful at the same time. I quite enjoy sisters chemistry too.

Personally there is room of improvement for second couple since they lacked of chemistry and their arc was quite limited. SML aka the older brother has limited screentime so we didn't get enough of his character. The villains are quite annoying even it was easily defeated by the sisters. If they polished the second couple arc, i would give the rating higher.

Only for fans.
