Perfect Match is like a rollercoaster ride where it starts off slow then it goes FAST but in this case, it gets good!
The drama does not focus on one main couple but on several different couples of the Li Family daughters. It's safe to say this is more so of a family drama with multiple genres.

Personally I started watching this drama for Lu Yu Xiao and Liu Xie Ning because I really enjoyed both of their past acting dramas. Unfortunately, this drama does not give them any justice in terms of acting showcase.

There are five daughters of the Li family, their mother is a widow because their father passed from an illness.
Each and every daughter have different personalities of their own and it comes out the most when they're with their partners or fighting with their partners to be exact. lol

The eldest daughter, Shouhua (Liu Xie Ning) is the most matured, and responsible one. She is very well educated, practically a prodigy by Kangning's (Lu yu Xiao) standards. She is very soft spoken so it's rare to see her raise her voice, in a way she's like a second mother to her siblings. Her background story was very sorrowful in a sense because she was married off at a young age to help the Li Family after the death of their father. Ever since her first marriage, she had rumors going around her and always thought she would stay at home for the rest of her life until she met her husband, Du Yang Xi. Her husband is technically a very childish, irresponsible man initially. However, he's also quite protective in fact all the husbands are protective! He wanted to protect Shouhua and Li Family by making the worse decision in his life, and luckily he was eventually forgiven. Their story was more mellodramatic, and angst with a teeny, tiny bit of romance. I wasn't too into their story tbh.

The second daughter Fu Hui (Wu Xuan Yi ) was already married when you first begin watching this drama. Her husband is Fan Liang Han (Huang Sheng Chi.) LIang Han was quite incessantly annoying imo, he was also a coward initially with Fu Hui. Eventually, he learned how much she cared about him and I suppose he man'd up. LOL Personally, I was not too fond of this couple because their story wasn't interesting for me either. I would say their relationship is more comedic, strong female lead vibes.

The third daughter, Kangning, played by LYX is the eloquent, quick thinker of the siblings. She married Wang Xing Yue's character, Chai An. Their relationship was giving love at first sight, but with angst and enemies to lovers trope, youth romance. Kanging also had a twin brother that was engaged to Qiong Nu but that's a story for you guys to watch.

Now onto the fun, and my favorite arc of Perfect Match! The fourth daughter, Hao De (Ke Ying), is the black horse of this drama! Her relationship arc was AMAZING TO WATCH! Hence, do NOT give up on this drama. LOL Hao De was more tamed in the begining of the drama, despite getting dragged into trouble with her fifth sister. During her marriage, we finally see what she was capable of! She's a strong headed woman, able to hold her own. Although, I didn't enjoy the crying scenes whenever she didn't get her way. Alas, she was still technically a teen(? ancient Chinese women got married young so I'm not surprised.) I digress, she is quite smart in her own right. Her husband, Shen Hui Zhao (Liang Yong Qi) was older than her and seemed more strict in a sense. He did not, will not marry Hao De nor anyone for that matter, and was adament on that decision! Something happened, and Haode fought back and showed him that he will miss her if he tells her to go back home. Their relationship arc was giving angst, drama, thriller, detective work, strong female lead, humor, and romance! Basically a drama of its own! I loved it a lot! Liang Yong Qi redeemed himself in this drama as a really good husband!

Finally the fifth daughter, aka the trouble maker of the family, Le Shan (Huangyang Tian Tian) is a very outspoken, and vioelent, strong independet woman! From the beginning of the drama to the end, Le Shan's personally was already out in the open. She's ready to fight anyone who is against the Li Family. In her marriage arc, she was beating people up to her heart's content, to her mother's dismay, and it was really funny to watch. LOL She is very smart, and will always outsmart her enemies just like her sisters. Her husband is Yang Xian (Win Win) is actually well paired as he is just as loud, and obnoxious as her - except with more arrogance. When he first appeared in the drama, he left a bad taste in my and probably everyone's mouth. But eventually you will grow to like him because at the end of the day, he just needed warmth and love. I read a comment comparing him to Dao Ming Si of Meteor Garden aka Boys Over Flower and I have to agree. Yang Xian is very much a parallel to Dao Ming Si in a way that he loves his violent wife, because the way he always smiles at her beating up people(and him) was quite endearing to watch. He also has a very caring sister who wishes him well and hope that he can be tamed by Le Shan. He hangs out with his boys, he's rich, she's from a merchant family, etc. Ya know just very parallel with F4, etc. This couple was giving love/hate relationship, comedy, arrogant male lead, strong headed female lead vibes.

Eveyone acted quite well, and I barely saw any black holes. Albeit, the mother seems like a comedy relief in this drama - every time she faints it was just HILARIOUS! It's not like a your typical gradual eye rolling then fall kind of faint - it waws literally close your eyes and fall. LMAO

Would I recommend this? Sure! It's an interesting way to watch a family drama - focusing on separate couples instead of one. If you don't like the slow start, then maybe skip around and see which couple you'd prefer. Enjoy!
