“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” No I’m not alleging producer Yu Zheng copied Pride and Prejudice, and even Little Women, but he definitely has assembled the premise of a mom in olden times trying to marry off her daughters. In this case there are five of them hence the title of upcoming C-drama Perfect Match in Chinese is 五福临门 which means five blessings descending upon the residence. It’s going to be a 2025 aired drama but the first sneak peeks are here and it’s just looks cutesy and darling, a bit twee if you ask me. The main leads are Wang Xing Yue with Lu Yu Xiao, and the other couples will be Wu Xuan Xi paired with Huang Sheng Chi, Ke Ying with Liang Yong Qi, Liu Xie Ning toegther with Chen He Yi, and the youngest couple is Huang Yang Tian Tian with Dong Si Cheng. The entire cast is like mashing together stars from My Journey to You, The Double, The Princess Royal, and Till the End of the Moon haha.
That is a lot of couples. Hopefully the story is well balanced and does not drown out the main characters too much.
Too generic looking poster,at least the styling is OK.
I will be checking this out for WXY. Despite what a troll Yu Zheng is, he does occasionally make good dramas. I remember Ke Ying from A Familiar Stranger, surprised but nice to see her here! If Li Fei ever graces my screen as a lead in a long drama, I might be even happier!
I fully agree with you. I have to separate him from his art sometimes… he has not affect my bottomm line enough to never watch his work.
It does sound a bit too twee for me. But I want to check it out for WXY…eh…I’m torn.
I think it’s just too much couples and we’re gonna be back-and-forth between all of them. I don’t wanna watch it.
Yeah it’s hard for even a singular or two couple story to be coherent, not to mention 5 couple ensembles… seems like yu zheng is trying to go for quantity, trying to see if one of them can be a star
That’s what I thought this must be a broadcast of all his favorites to see if it will step them into more stardom. Probably why he got pissed the other actress from eastern fantasy jumped ship. It will be ping pong watching so many couples. Maybe he wanted success like that one drama that had a few couples, New Life Begins. Not many can pull off so much. Depends on script writing.
I would actually love to watch a Pride and Prejudice adaptation. Too bad if this isn’t one.
Having said that, WXY and LYX would not be my first choices for Darcy and Elizabeth.
I believe there was one but long ago. Based on the republican era. It was a hot mess though. Can’t quite remember the title but I’m almost certain it might have been pride and predjudice and long winded amount of episodes.
I found it, Rero. It’s “Four Ladies”. I don’t think there are subtitles though, and your assessment of it doesn’t make me want to learn Chinese just to watch it! 😁
lol yes I watched without subtitles and I used to always do this because most Chinese dramas were not as frequently subtitles as they are now. Then again I still do for most dramas I’m curious about with no subtitles.
After watching the teaser? trailer? Im really interested in this serie while I dont even have any bias casted in it. This is very rare for me because usually I endure these drama scripts for my bias celebs xD…
Looks like there are quite many interesting pairings in it and I hope it wont disappoint.
Will check this out only for WXY. The risk is the more you bet on one single reason (person) to watch a drama, the more chance you’d be disappointed. This already happened to Pearl Girl which I watched for Zhao Lusi but ended up being disappointed.
At what point did you realised Pearl Girl was not for you? I think for me…I was watching and I dont remember at what point specifically…I find myself not as anxious to watch the next eps. I dont hate it…just can stop and wait and finish at later date.
