Perfect Match is victim of its own reality
Irrespective of tonnes of negetive image around this drama, rightful criticism against the characterization of MLs and obviously being a YZ drama, I watched it 😌.
Sloppy editing, baseless screenwriting and unappetising script are common and justified objections against the drama. But regarding the characterization of ML it went through a criticism (rightful) yet in my opinion it's not deconstructed enough. Rather it went "obviously its YZ and the director" way.
While i understand that, I found the charecterisation as a mockery to the word "perfect", I felt the drama tried to paint how ruckus of a world that old society used to be, with constant bringing of dowry , the excessive struggling of the mother for not having a man in her family, these were all reality. I feel Perfect Match as a drama kept those vice of the society un-whitewashed unlike many others. In our reality a woman do not just fight those vices but also lives with them. That's what Perfect Match correctly visualised.
None of the male leads were perfect epitome of a hero, with only virtues, with only consideration, with only good thoughts about a woman. A society that chronically belittle woman, it's quite miraculous to find one good man ( lest 5 😝).
Unfortunately this actually backfired to many cause they only focused on the charecters not the background they are coming from.
In a nutshell, Perfect Match made it's women absolutely strong, witty, smart and scheming. The woman outdid those "imperfect" men and brought them down from their high horse and also made them secondary in certain decisions. I liked how Perfect Match painted the sisters as fierce, decisive and bonded, with little to no need of male assistance, and men coming to terms with them, standing up for them, morphing into something that the society definitely didn't want them to be. If only the production and script was better...*sigh*.
