Perfect Match | The way he looks at her 😍

[iam3nity]

Chai An and his negative rizz.

[iam3nity]

It's making me laugh reading how much people hate the men in Perfect Match because I'm telling you, they feel a lot like real men. Not even historical men, like dudes I met yesterday. There have clearly been too many Marty-Stus in fiction recently because those guys are fine.

Like Chai An, he's arrogant, competitive, and does pranks as "lessons to ignorant women." Does he suck to some extent? Yes. Does he have any concerning vices to a woman in historical China? No. Women marry men just like him all the time today and do just fine because he's intelligent, driven, and motivated. He has a job and he's good at it. He takes care of his mother and now his wife. That may feel like a low bar, but it is one that many do not clear...

Pathetic Husband #2 (Fan Lianghan), he is a man child, but he's also the one most clearly there for comic relief. However, it seems like he's a bit of a coddled trust-fund baby and he has been growing up as the series goes on. He's fine. He's manageable.

Du Yangxi (Scholar Husband #1). Do I like him? No. Is almost everything bad he's done driven by insane circumstances and not his traits? Yes. Also, he's 20 freaking years old and all he's done his whole life is try not to starve and study for a test. He will improve with time!

Shen Huizhao (#4) may need to update his fundamental morality (it's a bit too concrete and inflexible), but there is nothing wrong with this man that having his child sister murdered in front of him doesn't explain. He would benefit from therapy but that's not going to happen so let his wife figure it out.

Now Insane Boy #5 will probably need some serious work, but his future wife is feral so I'm sure she can handle it.

Anyways, I know dramas are wish fulfillment to some extent but honestly the way people talk about these guys you'd think they are serial killers when they just are flawed.

So the reason why we can't have Sorn with his hair down for long periods of time is because Boat with his hair down looks too much like a precious little angel, and not enough like the perverted preposterous pest that is his character? How's that pos-

... Oh.

Something I really love so far is that the sisters all both love AND like each other.

More often than not, in period dramas if there are sisters, it's to have backbiting and conflict - a lot of times it's because there are different mothers but plenty of times even full blood sisters go at it for drama.

These sisters are all full blood sisters AND they are what in an Austen novel would be referred to as "gentry" at best and probably more like wealthy merchants etc - one of those upper middle class people in a Trollope novel - so I am sure that helps, but even with that, so often there'd be backbiting and here they just genuinely like each other. It's a very different set up and drama but reminds me how much I loved the Yang bros all liking each other in The Young Warriors.

What are you doing? - Of course, I'm here to complete the bride fetching, wedding ceremony, and the ancestral temple visit. I would marry you into the Shen family in glory and make you my wife.

Jun likes that Sorn is jealous and possessive of him... but only when he believes it comes from a place of care and love... not when it comes out of anything else. Jun wants Sorn to do everything they've been doing together just out of love. Sorn keeps being soft with him when he's not denying his feelings entirely and Jun is tired of feeling used and manipulated.

He wants all of Sorn's care and jealousy and protectiveness. He just wants it from Sorn's love and not Sorn's excuses.
