A Splendid Match (2026)

Amazing Storyline and then went downhill in the Last 5 episodes

I know the storyline is gonna end up like this. Premonitions on certain characters and telling their ending before hand. But seriously, it looks like in lacks a 1 or 2 episodes to sum it fully up. Imagine solving a puzzle for 40 episodes and solving it in 30 seconds. That's it? That's the ending.

The storyline the build-up is good,but seriously you could've done it better. I had to log in and rate this because it disappointed me too much. I had to double check if that is the last episode. Such an amazing drama wasted because of the ending. If I were me I should've stopped watching at EP 35.

It's seems like nobody wants to write a coesive ending these days

The main couple is everything!
I have a soft spot for strong and soft-spoken older MLs and Yanyun is the definition of it. Jin Zhao is terrific; shows with a solid family foundation based on a matriarchy always make the best FL development, and it's also very refreshing to see a woman at this point in history being able to have a say in her own life and future.

Gu Lan is the best example of what an inferiority complex can do to someone's life; she behaves as an exiled and unloved child when raised and spoiled as a legitimate daughter, having the attention of her father, two mothers, and a brother.
None, not even Jin Zhao's mother, who had her infant daughter taken from her, treats Gu Lan any differently, and yet she is always scheming and putting herself in a bad spot out of pure jealousy.
She even decided to spread the gossip about Jin Zhao meeting with a man when her own engagement was hanging by a thread? The desire to ruin Jin Zhao's life was bigger than guaranteeing a better future for herself; it's so tragic it becomes poetic.

I will never watch anything with Winwin ever again; the surrounding discourse is unbearable, and nothing is ever enough for his fans. Ye Xian would never be chosen by Jin Zhao; she saw firsthand what a weak husband can do to a woman's life, and she would NEVER marry to have something similar done to her (and her grandma would also not allow it).
He also physically abused her, by the way.
Jin Zhao treated him like an unruly child; she needed a grown man who could pull his own weight, and that's why she started to like and eventually married Chen Yanyun.

After reaching the halfway mark, everything started to crumble: the political arc became too confusing, events made no sense in the timeline, conflicts that should have already taken place were all pushed one after another, and a couple that would always trust each other in the beginning now can't talk at all... It's a shame.
