This Taiwanese drama had just the right proportions for a good drama - humor and sadness, reality and wish fulfillment, male and female perspectives. It's not perfect but I love a show where people have real jobs and are shown enjoying the fulfillment of their lives' work. Sure, there are some dreamy parts but most of the story is about working towards finding happiness on their own terms. I've heard this drama described as a head-scratcher but I think that's because it's short, episodic nature didn't allow the time for real character development to come through.
Character-wise, the cast did a good job. Sonia Sui's character isn't in the marriage meeting biz just for romance - she also wants to know why people want to get married. She does spend a lot of time perfecting her "I"m thinking" face, though! Her office mates and relatives give her some pretty funny glimpses of why people look for mates - and her writing research is also enlightening. I felt like I learned quite a bit about relationships in the process. Plus, the main romance leads are all very good looking!
As for the music, I don't know who is on the soundtrack but the songs fit well into the action and create quite a moody little series. Don't let the peppy opening number scare you off - the rest of the soundtrack is lovely but not overly saccharine.
I see a high re-watch possibility for such a slow and odd but sweet little story.
