这部剧其实立意上还是很有新意的，其实到现在为止的2016年我还没有发现同类型说媒题材的电视剧。虽然服饰场景等还是和背的TVB古装剧一样比较节约，但是不能说是不考究，至少不会出现一些错误。而在内容上，较为真实的反应了唐朝时期的婚嫁风俗和法律等的情况，常出现唐律户婚的一些援引解读，对于不喜欢直接看古代历史的也算是寓教于乐了。
说说剧本吧，主要还是由一些小故事推动剧情发展，然后最后的大boss就是涉及谋权篡位啦，其实最后的大boss之战不如前面小故事有意思。比如第一个故事反而像推理剧，而后面的一些故事里呢又有点像穿越剧，尤其是全家福连百合运用一些现代化的营销手法来发展一线牵业务的时候，总之呢就是比较综合，结合了各种元素。当然最大的元素还是喜剧，在喜剧氛围里顺便凑成了三对主要的cp。
好了，说说我的杂想吧。其实剧情严格来说不是很严谨的，比如为了突出冰人伶牙俐齿口吐莲花的嘴炮能力，往往就削弱了本身的逻辑性，强行说服对方。当然这对一个喜剧来说也无所谓。
第二点杂想就是剧中有一段里面由于一线牵被官媒里的几个司佐陷害导致声誉下降，直接从门庭若市到门可罗雀，这里似乎反映了民意的脆弱，可以随意被操纵。金葵扇的名声是十几年打拼下来的，而金鹊桥也是后起而秀，因为一个小案子而导致人人喊打，其实这里剧本强行推动了一下吧。这一点我想起来近年的一部港剧-城寨英雄，里面的民意似乎更是羸弱，反派甚至可以操纵民意让寨子里的百姓去杀害城寨里的英雄，真的是逻辑上说不过去。可见这多年过去，编剧还是不能将整体水平提升到一个新高度呀。这一点而言，虽然美剧等也会出一些bug，但是走剧情路线的，一般不会有太大的逻辑问题。港剧曾经是大陆这边学习的对象，现在江河日下，也确实该反思啦。
话说回来，这部剧还是给人很大的惊喜的，我给好评。

高斐满怀深情地朗诵“曾经沧海难为水”的场面，是本剧的亮点之一。开心一笑之余，让自己想到了人的感情是多么的脆弱。曾经自己身边的朋友们，在刚刚失恋的时候，痛苦不堪，大有“失去了生命存在意义”的样子。开始自己还会安慰她（他）们一番，现在自己则会直接告诉对方，别这么折磨自己了，赶紧再找一个，等下一个出现后，这一个就真的“从你的生命中消失了”。一般来说，对方会信誓旦旦地说，不会的，我一辈子都不会忘了他（她）！而结果通常是，几个月后，新欢出现，曾经的沧海则彻底没水了……

虽然有些流俗，但这句话很适合描述当代人的感情生活：

使我们在一起的不是爱情，是寂寞。

第一次看张可颐的戏，越看越喜欢连百合这个角色。张可颐拿捏得很到位，尤其是通过一些很小的细节表现，把连百合的性格表现得活灵活现。香港电视剧不注重细节是一个传统，也体现在演员在表演上，观众能理解是什么意思就可以，很少从细节上进行挖掘，所以其中有很多象征性的表现。不过，看得多了，也就慢慢接受了。这次看张可颐的细腻表演，觉得耳目一新。本来就剧情来说，这部剧集没什么亮点，因为连百合这个角色，所以给了四星的推荐。

第一次知道马浚伟，是听他唱的《鹿鼎记》片尾曲《头顶一片天》，所以一直以为他是一位歌手。直到在《壹号皇庭》里见到他，才知道原来是演员。他在《壹号皇庭》里饰演一位文质彬彬的医生，被陶大宇挖了墙角，也没有忌恨他，是一个很正面的角色。在这部剧集里，他的表现不好不坏，没有可圈点之处。有一个很奇怪的感觉，虽然知道演员是马浚伟，但看的过程中总觉得是大陆演员徐峥，可能是全家福的性格和李卫很相似的缘故吧。

也是第二次看陈豪的戏。第一次看他的戏，是《谈判专家》里大搞婚外情的莫家骢——一个看起来很优秀的丈夫。莫家骢是个很内向的角色，所以本剧一开篇，高斐大念“曾经沧海难为水”的时候，还以为导演搞错了（那个时候还不知道是喜剧）。总之，陈豪扮演的这个角色，从骨子里渗出来的那种幽默也是笑料之一。

这也是我第二次看盖鸣晖的戏，第一次是《壹号皇庭》，盖鸣晖扮演了一个看起来很古板，但有婚前性行为的一个女医生，一个感觉不是很舒服的角色，当然，这和《壹号皇庭》的整体风格有关，一部感情和性行为都很混乱的剧集。盖鸣晖在这部剧集里，可能也是和角色有关，同样很古板，虽说是女扮男装，但是结尾换成女装后，反而看着别扭。

总之这是一部值得一看的剧集，很大程度上因为是一部喜剧，生活中多些莞而一笑，总比沉浸在悲伤、恐惧、气愤、紧张之中要好。至于演员和角色，自然是见仁见智，在这里，还是大力向大家推荐张可颐饰演的连百合。

THE FACTORS
- Dislike Factor
Cerina De Graca
I 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 Factor
Steven Ma
To 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 Chan
This 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 Maggie
These 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 Factor
The Ending Once Again
Well, 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 Scenes
1. 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 together
3. Whenever Steven and Moses together
4. Everytime Moses composes his poems
5. Everytime Steven, Maggie, Moses and Joyce together solving problems, they have great ideas when they are together! Unbeatable!

THE COMMENTS
- The Performances
As 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 Storyline
Comparing 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.
