Thank you so much, Dramas4me! I've always liked your opinions and I'm happy to see you here! Btw, I love your profile picture 😅 Every time I see it, I smile too!😁
Don't worry! You must have already watched dozens/hundreds of series in which the characters die and then reappear alive lol Or they take an atidote and are resurrected lol Of course I cried when I saw the scene, even though I'm sure he's not completely dead lol
Well said! I was shocked at the labels placed on PM after the first few episodes. I wondered if I fell asleep…
Thanks, Twinty! I feel that people are better assimilating the series’ proposal. The attempt to tarnish it flopped. I hope you can bring together all the perceptions/opinions you posted here and synthesize them into a review. Thank you for your always kind comment!
My thinking is different from you. I think Fu Hui's husband (Fan Liang Han) is so fun to watch even his mouth…
lol I like him too. He has the same comic function (clown, present in Chinese Opera) as the adorable Jiang Jing Rui, Jiang Li's cousin (He Feng Tian), from The Double. Him, and his inseparable turtle! 😂😂😂

You are truly a rare, unique person!! Your presence in the MDL makes a difference, you are influential, everyone likes you and your comments! I'm happy to see people like you giving value to what is good, you express your opinions firmly and always in a very light way!

Hey Twinty!! I already told you this, you are super perceptive, intelligent, well informed, you have your own judgment! It's brilliant that you quote The Taming of the Shrew, yesterday I was just reviewing Shakespeare's works and I also saw exactly the similarity you mention. This text I wrote is available in "Reviews" and "Discussions", I hope that other reviews and texts for Discussions can do the PM justice! Thanks for the comment! 🙌
Shakespeare could sign this brilliant series without being embarrassed. Really Perfect! The series manages to bring together all human virtues, innocence, honor, compassion, generosity, in counterpoint with villainy, misunderstandings, family intrigues, compromising pasts, murders, revenge. I identify, in PM, traces of Shakespeare's comedies and tragedies. But if you ask me how similar these works are, the answer is simple. Shakespeare's work builds plots exploring virtues, human flaws, intrigues and surprising twists, whose stage is the intra-family and palace life, of society in all its shades. Perfect Macth has the same atmosphere. The PM scenes are constructed with theatrical logic, in small spaces and intimate actions, such as the garden, the rooms, the meals, even the nobles' environment is framed in a small spatial perspective, giving the feeling of proximity that we have in the theater. I also highlight the theatrical and burlesque way of acting of three characters in particular: Madam Li (Ni Hong Jie), Le Shan (Huangyang Tian Tian) and Fan Liang Han (Huang Cheng Chi), with their facial and body expressions, vocalization, reactions, gestures, temperaments, performed with exaggeration, exacerbation, are theatrical concepts that enrich the characters' dynamics and color the narrative. The scene cuts resemble the curtain closing. This combination takes us into the scene, as a local spectator. The plot has the merit of, from a single thread (the Li family), weaving an intricate network that began at home and expanded to other layers of society, until reaching the powerful. The family is the microorganism that constitutes society, PM shows these entrails with mastery. Many have tried to reduce and drag PM into a small, unfounded discussion about misogyny, when what is really in scene are the dichotomies of human nature, light and darkness. PM is a precious mosaic of microstories that involve a sophisticated cocktail of successes and mistakes inherent to life that gain dimension and life of their own in the expansion of family ties. These microstories have no other theme than virtues and human miseries. In this complex cocktail, everything related to human behavior is on the screen. In addition to PM having visual beauty, with photography that offers aesthetic pleasure, its narrative interweaves the best of Chinese literature (present not only in quotations from works, but in the deep and delicate universe of Chinese Poetry, recited throughout the series. The lyricism of the narrative amplifies the beauty of PM's messages, especially the beautiful character, with a monastic aura, Shou Hua -Liu Xie Ning), painting and philosophy. PM portrays the daily lives of ordinary people, like us. The seesaw of the characters' human flaws and virtues oscillates, and this gives grace and life to the plot, but at the same time, it leaves open the possibility of everyone redeeming themselves. Why should we be such strict judges? We all deserve this chance.
Give your own judgment about the series a chance, don't let biased comments decide for you. PM and you deserve…
lol I'm very happy to know that you decided with your own heart. The work paid off! 😅 Are you referring to FLH? I don't believe that another ML will appear with the same characteristics, because he plays the role of the fool, the clown, every theatrical piece, all stories, whether films or series, have characters with predefined personalities, like you have the hero, the villain, the clown, the mentor, the wise, the immature. So this place of clown/fool/immature will certainly not be repeated. It is clear to see that each daughter, in addition to having different temperaments, also has husbands with different characteristics. So far, there are 3 husbands who are completely different in their way of being. And with SH's divorce, another ML appears on the scene, which is Mr Sang, the scholar, also totally different from the others. I'm super curious to see what the 4th suitor will be like and it's certainly Liang Long Qi, the unforgettable Shen Yu Rong, the greatest villain of all time, from TD, he already appeared in a trailer.
