I have been a fan of Pride and Prejudice for going on 40 years. I try to watch, read, or own every version I can. Of course, reading all the versions is difficult as you can imagine. Anyway, for those of you interested, there is a Chinese drama playing now on Netflix called Perfect Match. It is about a widow trying to marry off four of her five daughters (one is already married). I have watched through episode 9 and it is loosely based on Austin's novel, complete with Mr. Darcy (Chai An) and Elizabeth Bennet (Li Kangning). The actors playing the Darcy and Elizabeth Bennett roles are well cast. So far really enjoying it. So if subtitles in English for those who don't understand Mandarin don't bother you, I would recommend watching. Netflix appears to be releasing two episodes a day (with a few one a day releases in early Feb). I believe there are 32 episodes in total. Also, the first nine episodes concentrate on the Darcy/Elizabeth story, while the other sisters (Jane, Lydia, and Kitty) will follow, I presume. Not a faithful retelling, but Pride and Prejudice lovers will recognize some of the classic scenes from the novel.https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,131465,131465#msg-131465Mon, 25 May 2026 11:10:40 +0100 Phorum 5.2.22 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,131465,131465#msg-131465 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?4,131465,131465#msg-131465Perfect Match.
