A light, comedic and heartwarming drama about love and family
Story: Following the death of her husband, Madame Li and her daughters deals with years of turmoil and infighting with their greedy relatives. Finally, Madame Li decides to sell off their land and relocate from Luoyang to Bianjing in hopes of starting anew while finding each of her daughters a husband.Plot: The plot is extremely lighthearted and heartwarming and not overly complicated. Each sister goes through a trial and tribulation with the person they love. There are dark moments in the drama but thanks to the humorous interactions between our leads it remains very lighthearted, heartwarming and fun to the very end.
Casting: It's been years since I've watched a C-Drama. This is the first I watched since Eternal Love. China just has so many talents that it's hard to keep track and follow. Although I'm not caught up on all the new rising stars (and old veterans) I honestly think they done a phenomenal job casting. Props to the casting team.
Acting: The acting is nothing short of amazing from our heroes/heroine down to the villains. However, I was absolutely blown away by Haode and Leshan. The first half of the drama we only see them in the background acting mischievously as they are the two youngest in the family without any care. When it comes time for the two to stand up and fight for their love, boy did they shine. They exude so much charm and charisma. Speaking of charisma, no one exudes charisma more so than Shen Hui Zhao. I don't think there's an actor that can appear on screen without saying much but can exude as much charisma as Hui Zhao lol.
Overall: Just a great drama that portrays strong female leads who isn't afraid to fight for what they believe in. It also touches on many aspects such as love, honor, virtue, but none more important than the importance of family. While watching, I wished I had a family of siblings / brother in laws / sister in laws like that. It looks and feels truly blissful. I am now fans of several of the actors and actresses after finishing this series and looking into their other work. I was extremely sad as I was nearing the end of the drama. I really hope there will be a 2nd season.
No doubt Perfect Match is a drama you can always revisit years from now and will definitely bring a smile to your face and tug at your heartstrings.
