A simple, no-nonsense series.

I didn't really like the series. It felt MEDIUM to me. It felt simplistic. There's no real immersion in the events. There's no over-dramatization. For example, the torture inflicted on the mother, father, and siblings after they're imprisoned isn't agitated to make it harder for them to get out; it's simply glossed over. It's both good and bad. If you ask why? I'd say the events are always approached this way. That's why there's neither suspense nor suspense. It's like what happens in everyday life.

The head matchmaker's daughter enters the matchmaking business, and she's helped by a young, handsome, and wealthy man, who in turn was helped by this girl when she was a child. It starts with such a premise. Not bad at all. But what can be learned from it? Could there have been anything more? One might ask, should it have remained so simple? I was expecting a more dramatic, more intriguing, more stimulating, more penetrating, and if necessary, more hurtful drama. But it wasn't. A series like this could have been made by simply looking at it from a simple perspective and thinking it was just a snack.

I liked the actors. I found Snow Kong very successful. This was the first time I've watched him for such a long time; his previous roles were lesser. He didn't give me a sense of himself. I saw that here. Well done. Ren Hao, on the other hand, seems to have fallen off the charts. A very dull role. I expected more. It was so appropriate. The woman was given the spotlight. It wasn't a role that suited Ren Hao, in my opinion. But the actor plays his part.
The supporting roles suit their roles. They don't have anything special. I was surprised by Chen Zi Han. This role was too small for him. It wasn't. I don't understand how he accepted such a lowly role. I didn't like it. I didn't like the role either. If he watches it, he might ask, "What was I doing in this role?"
Yang Ming Na and Yao Zhoua Jun, who plays her husband, make a great pairing. I think Chen Zi Han suits Yang Ming Na's role. I also think Yang Ming Na suits Chen Zi Han's role. I think it would have been better if the cast had been divided like this. I think it's worth watching to pass the time.
