Episode summary and character intros from TVB official site (Chinese)2. Better Halves:: The Matchmaking Survival Guide (English)THE FACTORS- Dislike FactorCerina De GracaI think she is new, brand new, and usually the brand new actress always gives me the idea that they can not act. This applies to Cerina as well, sometime I just refuse to watch her closely, and see the actions she does. Her character is not annoying, but gives me a feeling that she is annoying sometimes. Especially the way she likes Steven, makes me mad a little.- Love FactorSteven MaTo all the Steven fans, including me: this is a completely different Steven you are about to see, which gives the audiences very refreshing feelings for him. All the series Steven did before, is either really serious or really tragical, however in this one, his character is really cute, and really funny, and really interesting! I love the way he talks to Maggie. It just cracks me up everytime I see Steven walking around with his fan up high, and makes the noise against Maggie. So cute!Moses ChanThis character is the serious one, he is good at kung fu, he is really good at investigation, and he is super good at poems! I just love the way Moses composes his poems, he looks so funny! This character is also unbelievably romantic, the major reason is because of his poems, of course, haha... He and Steven are best friends, and everytime they are together, just cracks me up, especially when Moses asked Steven about his sexuality, so funny!Chemistry between Steven and MaggieThese two look GREAT together! I hope they can pair more often! They look cute together, the chemistry worked out really well, also shines the entire series! I just love to see them fighting each other, arguing each other, and loving each other. These two are so matched that they have the same thoughts, same ideas, same dialogues!- How Come FactorThe Ending Once AgainWell, I was expecting a big wedding scene of the three couples as I saw in the themevideo, but I didn't see one! What is up with that? I mean, of course they got married, but the ending should about the wedding, and they can make fun in the wedding. Instead, the producer used their kids as the key for the ending! Ok, here goes the detail: they had their kids after one year of marriage, and everyone got what they wanted, Steven and Maggie got a twin. Then, all the sudden, seven years passed by, and the ending shows how the kids are so much alike their parents... it just don't feel right!Best Scenes1. Everytime Steven makes the "hmmm", "ah!", "o..." sound, or when he screams! There is a part that really cracks me up, that is when Maggie is about to have a baby, Steven screams for help, that just so cute!2. Whenever Steven and Maggie together3. Whenever Steven and Moses together4. Everytime Moses composes his poems5. Everytime Steven, Maggie, Moses and Joyce together solving problems, they have great ideas when they are together! Unbeatable!THE COMMENTS- The PerformancesAs I said, you will expect a completely different Steven in this series because this is a new type of role for Steven, he fits the comedy role really well, I really wish he can have more comedy roles in the future. Maggie Cheung is really good as well, she is excellent at comedy roles since she has lots of those. As for Joyce, she is a great actress, great acting, and a perfect fit for the man style, I just didn't like her chemistry with Moses that much. I prefer the "man-look" of Joyce. Auguste Kwan plays a very childish uncle of Steven, his character is pretty small, but also enjoyable. The only disappointment is Cerina, as I said, she is new.- The StorylineComparing to Colorful Life, I like the story in Colorful Life a little better. However, Better Halves has some investigation issues going on, which makes the series more interesting. Plus, the chemistry between Steven and Maggie is really awesome. There are little small stories within the entire series, which describe how Steven and Maggie paired up some couples, and the difficulties they had to go through.- Worth Watching?For the Steven fans, you have to make this series into your priority list, must see of the year. For Moses and Maggie fans, you will also enjoy this series really well, because the characters are really cute. For the people who does the matchmaking business, you must see it, you will get so much ideas from this series. I think this is worth watching, it is a really cute series.。
