New Drama Announcement: The Perfect Match 極品絕配 with Ivy Shao 邵雨薇 and Chris Wu 吳慷仁

It's officially confirmed that Ivy will be staring in a new Friday night SETTV drama. The title and co-star have been confirmed and it's different from what was previously going around (It was first believed she would be starring opposite Baron Chen and the drama would be called 'Yes! Queen'!) Ivy's new drama is called The Perfect Match 極品絕配 and she'll be acting opposite to Chris Wu (Rock Records in Love, Inborn Pair, A Touch of Green)...So no Baron Chen this time!


In terms of story line it's looking to be another cooking title with Chris Wu playing a really talented high end chief and Ivy playing a night market food stall owner. It's great to see a series focusing on food from the night market angle - despite Taipei being well known for its numerous food markets, I feel like a lot of the foodie dramas have been about chefs at cafes and restaurants. Have a look at the trailers which have just been launched.

From Ivy's point of view


From Chris' point of view



First episode trailer



I'm really looking forward to seeing Ivy after her long break last year following Back to 1989 and I think Chris Wu is a great actor, definitely more senior than Ivy, so it'll be interesting to see this collaboration take place. The pair have collaborated before, so they're familiar with each other. It's funny to hear that there's a 7 year age gap between the two with Ivy often teasing Chris by calling him 'Shu shu' which translates roughly to uncle/middle-aged man in Chinese (I guess it'd be like calling him ahjussi in Korean). He's also much more experienced than her and has starred across a number of other acting veterans and popular actresses including Rainie Yang, Annie Chen and Tiffany Hsu, just to name a few. 



Other confirmed cast members include: Ben Wu, Suan Wang and Nylon Chen, who you might also know as the singer, but also the fiance of Lene Lai from one of my soft spot dramas, Pleasantly Surprised
