A rich, pampered young man who is well aware of his rich family background, Yuanbao unexpectedly meets Yu Qi Ling (Tang Yan - Also starring in Lady and the Liar and The Legend of Fragrance), a clever and witty maiden who travels around the country. Their friendship sparks off a series of hilarious and touching stories.

Comment:

I am very excited over Perfect Couple (金玉良缘) ever since I saw the trailer; it seems like a witty, fun, humorous and touching storyline. Wallace Huo and Tang Yan collaborate again after Chinese Paladin 3 and the drama is film in Heng Dian World Studio. I like the pairing and chemistry of Wallace Huo and Tang Yan, both look cute together in their colourful period outfit (the embroidery on their attire are so pretty). 

Interesting to know that the famous novelist, Tong Hua is the screenwriter of Perfect Couple and Wallace Huo is one of the producers. The Chinese title 'Jin Yu Liang Yuan' also represents the couple's name, with 'Jin' as Jin Yuan Bao ~ Gold (Wallace Huo) and 'Yu' as Yu Qi Ling ~ Jade (Tang Yan). Perfect Couple is definitely on my watch list! (As I translated from Chinese, hence please pardon if there is any error, etc.)


Character Introduction ~♥

Equip with high IQ and excellent taste, never follow the crowd and has a poisonous tongue. Position higher than others and more knowledgeable.

He is waiting for a woman who will move him. A loyal and conservative lover, once his heart is flutter, there will be no hesitation.

  5. If you like Wallace Huo, watch 花千骨 (the journey of flower). Personally I feel this is his best peformance thus far, he really nailed the character of 白子画. Man of few words, aloof, high & mighty but very kind. But be warned, the last episode makes you jump as the editing is horribly bad. Whoever held the scissors for cutting & editing did a horrid job for the last episode but the last 10 mins were really sweet.

  6. And he has another drama, Love Me If You Dare, but unfortunately his female co-star there is a disappointment (my personal opinion). No chemistry with Wallace.

  7. Oh ok! Glad to have a common topic to discuss with you (again). Did you watch The Journey of Flower? If you did, you probably might understand what I mean by Sandra's lack of chemistry with Wallace in LMIYD.

    1. Nope, didn't watch The Journey of Flower. Not the kind of the genre I like for now...but so far Zhao Li Ying has quite good chemistry with most of her co-stars, so not too surprise that she had a good one with WH.

    1. Yup, watched it previously...a very touching war drama though I am not really into battle and all. Like the theme song "I Will Remember You", quite surprise with Wallace Huo's singing. He has a very good voice for an actor...hahaa...

    2. Yes yes, BOC is a great drama. Not exactly war war but about family relationship and how they all stood by each other thick and thin.
      Wallace Huo was in the army for 2 years in his younger days. His co lead (Yang Zi) was 19 when she filmed BOC with Wallace. He was 34 then. I find she has more chemistry with Wallace compared to Sandra Ma and Yang Zi can act better too. (Whine)

    3. Perfect Couple is a nice drama, can say, all time favourite for me. The first 20 episodes were hilarious and light hearted. The next 10 episodes alittle heavy hearted but from episode 30 onwards it got draggy, boring & the storyline no logic. It got better towards the end & the ending was sweet, you just somehow reluctant to part with the couple.

      Delete
    4. Yes, BOC is surprisingly good. Agreed that Yang Zi's chemistry with WH was way better than Sandra. By the way, have you watch 'Too Late to say I Love You'? What is your verdict of the drama? Haha...

      Delete
  9. Hi SIL, Whine here...nope, didn't get to watch Too Late To Say I Love You although saw the clip where WC kissed the female lead. TBH after SWAK, i am reluctant to watch FWSC story, make people damn sad one. And if the ending sucks, the heartache stays with me for a long time like SWAK.

    1. Arrh...seems like you got a phobia for FWSC's stories, haha...but no worries because TLTSILY is a happy ending! Never mind, maybe you can watch when you feel like trying a new drama next time. Like you, I also sometimes avoid reading or watching FWSC's novel/drama. Especially those sucky ending. Seriously, they are too depressing for me handle!

      Delete
  10. SIL, ok, if it's a happy ending, shall give a try some time. We both like Wallace but with different surname. Lol... Yup, FWSC stories is too depressing for me to handle too. SWAK remained with me for a long time, months if I'm not wrong to get that heartache out of my system! (Whine)
