A Couple for Everyone
LIKES:
STORY: although slow with the ML and FL, was better with the Mark & Ou Wen characters. The farmer and financial adviser couple story shows you that opposites can attract. Each storyline was developed at different speeds. The supporting stories happened faster, but didn’t feel like filler and fit within the main plot. They handle a few adult themes: sexual orientation and ‘coming out’, pregnancy, divorce, marriage and touches briefly (a back story) on bullying. I liked that they were using the theory that love knows no age, financial background, education, or gender. (Except they didn’t have a racial love story). I saw a little character growth with the FL, but they didn’t show it enough with the ML. Mark had the most character growth and the financial advisor had a lot of growth too. Also some beautiful location settings and I recognized some from other dramas (BROMANCE 2015). Wu Nein Hsuan did well for his character. [I liked him in Age of Rebellion too.]
OST: was good and appropriate for the scenes, but nothing stood out, so neither good nor bad.
PRODUCTION: had good cinematography and filming had no shaky moments.
FX: not noticeable, the story and everything else was all natural.
DISLIKES:
The director kept the ML doing his scenes so slow, almost like he had a mental disorder. They played it as if he has a social disorder, but he’s a hair dresser, so that didn’t fit at all. They could’ve said he was slightly autistic, which would’ve fit better.
Backstory between FL and ML just made their age difference REALLY stand out, but as adults it wasn’t too noticeable. Also too much back story moments or flashbacks took too long, and the times could’ve been used for the Mark & OuWen couple or others.
They rushed the self discovery of Mark, but at least showed why he suddenly was into that person. I was more interested in watching his story unfold than the other couples and thought he needed more screen time.
Too many supporting actors/actresses having their storylines take up time.
FX: the pregnancy belly came on too suddenly, including the side effects of pregnancy.
OVERALL:
Good watch, not overly long and no really boring moments. If I do watch it again, it will be only the Mark and OuWen characters and their moments. I would recommend this show too.
