She and Her Perfect Husband + Perfect Leeches
Yang Mi and Xu Kai’s acting, chemistry and styling was sizzling hot! Perfect casting with two of the hottest trending actors. It kinda reminded me of You are My Glory with the super popular Dilraba and Yang Yang. But this show fell down because of the script and character development.
It’s like there are only 5 fully developed characters - Qin Shi, Yang Hua, Yao Yao, Yang Hua’s bff and Li Dai.
In real life, most people are not all bad and not all good. Apart from the four listed - the rest of the characters are all so one dimensional. Seriously did they sub these characters to be written by interns? The supporting characters are almost comedic and trope-y!!!
Qin Shi is all I want to be as a 女强人 (power woman). Smart, beautiful, high EQ (she can adapt to situations quickly and take on a cutesy or tigress persona as needed) and confident as hell. But seriously she’s surrounded by a bunch of sycophants. No wonder she’s so messed up in her personal life. Her parents suck, her big older brother seems nice and stable but why does his wife appear like the housekeeper, the second brother is like the epitome of a leech, her boss is toxic, even her bff is not that great.
Yang Hua is also multi dimensional even though he has a stone cold face most of the time. I love how he supported Qin Shi behind the scenes and secretly throughout the time even when she didn’t know.
I read a few reviews before, during and after watching the show. Many people say skip eps 35 to 40 (until last 10 min of show) if you want to see the happy ending.
Actually, I get why they needed to separate. Qin Shi needed to sort her own complex complicated feelings out. Yao Hua’s love for her was enduring. He was not confused. She was. So maybe she did need the time to sort herself out. I think those episodes also allowed her time to grow and develop. But I feel not enough. And I wished their reunion could have lasted one more episode.
All in all, the chemistry between the leads made this show worth watching but will it ever reach cult status like You are my Glory? No.
