    Emotional rollercoaster

    Fen-Qing (Yu-Wei Shao) is smart, very pretty, and heartbreaking. Ting-En (Kang Ren Wu) is smart, handsome, and rational to a fault (i.e. Too rational). The chemistry between the two is really electric and so believable that I found myself thinking about the characters and looking forward to the opportunity to watch the next episode. I think a lot of care went into the character development for this story, and also the importance of family is a major theme that runs throughout. Fen-Qing, because of her humble background, missing father, and inexperience, places family including friends and acquaintances, as a high priority, higher than a romantic relationship. This, plus some labyrinthian family complications, plus Ting-En's rationality, leads to a heartbreaking situation.

    In short, I do recommend this series if any of the above strikes a chord, or if you have any interest in the fine details of high cuisine. It is amazing to me that the two lead actors can make their relationship so real without it actually being so. I wish them and also Ting-En and Fen-Qing the best.

    I want to make curry lobster.. and saffron rice

    The Perfect Match is the first Taiwanese drama I finished on Netflix (and finished quickly because it is enjoyable to watch). A love-romance comedy crossing a high-end restaurant chef and a girl selling curry at the night market.

    As a foodie myself, I was drawn initially to the food (the Taiwan night market is already unique by itself), but I enjoyed the plot that is executed at a good pace and at the right level of details that goes into ingredients and running of a restaurant. Conflicts within the riches' families do not make much sense to me other than as comedies, but unlike most Japanese dramas that may build multiple arcs but only finishes the main one, The Perfect Match did the few well justice.

    Romance dramas are usually filled with beautiful actors and actresses and this is no exception. Lead actor Wu Kang-jen is seasoned and lead actress Ivy Shao was having a break-thru year in her acting (and singing) from her first major role the year before (Back to 1989). You will fall in-love with her by the end of the drama.

    A Wonderful Acquired Taste!

    Charming and unusual romcom with a culinary/food theme. The upscale vs food cart theme sets up a wonderful dynamic that delivers an unusual and entertaining story totally original and fun.

    Some of the comedy scenes like sleeping in the tent and the repartee between the chef and grandma are sweet and fun.

    I laughed like crazy at the supercute scenes w the chef and his grandma. The romantic leads are quirky and their odd romance turns out to be an acquired taste for both of them, like some foods, LOL.

    You will enjoy this if you like uplifting romcoms that are positive and uplifting. Also you'll pick.up some cooking tips!

    Is it only me?

    So a top level high society Chef just happens to be wandering around a night market and samples the cuisine of a female cook who is using his name to draw attention.

    In the real world his lawyers would have been first on the scene and demanded they remove his name from their advertising on pain of prosecution.

    But no - that would have obviated the chance for them to fall in love.

    And this is where the elephant in the room lumbers in.

    The girl he is attracted sexually to is the living image of his dead sister - she even has her mannerisms.

    Distasteful? Much?

    Why wouldn't the writers make her the image of his ex girlfriend or his high school first love?

    The usual tropes apply - enemies to lovers - disapproving dominant parents - the jealous third parties etc ad nauseam.

    And I haven't even mentioned the bizarre dance routine at the beginning of this series.

    I wasn't impressed by the looks or the acting of the entire cast - a definite miss for me.
