matchmaker mui siu ching

Producer Mui Siu Ching played with the idea of matchmakers for her series Better Halves - now it looks like she's playing matchmaker herself! Single-handedly with two series, Producer Mui is breaking up two golden couples and making two fresh couples.

Frankie Lam & Bernice Liu and Steven Ma & Linda Chung are the golden couples of Virtues of Harmony. "Princess" & "Ah Nin" charmed their way into people's hearts with the ancient version and people adored "Ah San" and "Ah Lam"'s relationship in the modern Virtues. Both couples have an older male paired with a younger female - yet, the age difference seems negligent. Frankie & Bernice and Steven & Linda are so compatible physically and their chemistry makes them beloved and memorable pairings.

Producer Mui is breaking these couples up and making them trade partners. Frankie & Bernice and Steven & Linda will be no more. Instead, the audience is going to have Frankie & Linda and Steven & Bernice. Producer Mui's sister is Cutie Mui, so I believe that she did watch a few episodes of Virtues, so these new pairings of hers is not simply a coincidence. Producer Mui matchmakes Frankie and Linda in Forensic Heroes and she pairs Steven and Bernice in The Brink of Law.

Is Producer Mui onto something? Does she have the eyes of a skilled matchmaker? Will Frankie & Linda and Steven & Bernice become two new golden couples for TVB or are the golden couples from Virtues best only with their "destined" partners? How will their new chemistry (or lack of) compare with their originial?

To my surprise, the "switched couples" look really nice together. At first, I thought that Linda was going to look too young for Frankie and that Bernice would look too mature for Steven - but actually, that's not the case at all. From pictures, the new couples look quite nice. I'm hoping that the chemistry will be on par with the physical compatibleness. In any case, the two series and the writing for the couples should be excellent because anything from Producer Mui is great. Let's hope that these four will be able to charm us as fresh couples like they did for Virtues.
