Drama Digest

Amazing sisters is the story of the Qian family ladies who own the top flower shops in Hualing City. Qian Jin Jin, the eldest, oversees and leads her family business. She wants to be an Imperial Merchant and needs the support of her future in-laws to do so. She marries Yan Yao Yu, the handsome heir of the influential Yan family. Her youngest sister, Qian Bei Bei, eager to help her sister, seeks to marry Yan Qi (Yan Yao Yu`s second uncle and head of the Yan family). The story follows the complicated married life of the two couples.

The Feel-Good Part

Amazing sisters is a women-centric drama. The OST of the drama is light-hearted and soothing. Bei Bei and Yan Qi are the cutest. Their bond is well written, and the actors do their job on point with their chemistry.

The Disappointing Factor

There is a clash between the pace and the plot of the drama. Smooth transitions between scenes are rare. A lot of plot holes are evident. I do not know what the writers were thinking while writing the ending. There is also no confirmation for a second season. They gave a happy ending but ended the show abruptly and left the audience with questions. The script had so much scope for the character development of supporting characters. Though the show makers have told that the show is about the five Qian sisters, they have focused only on Jin Jin and Bei Bei. There is also not much shown about the Yan family and their position in society. The show also lacks a strong villain. There is only one villain, but his character is poorly written. No character in the drama has good writing and character development.

In-Depth Analysis

The Qian family is one of the wealthiest families in the capital city, Hualing. The Qian family has five sisters, each sharing responsibilities to run the household. Qian Jin Jin is the eldest sister who runs the family business with her in-born business witts. The second sister Yin Yin is known for her beauty and outgoing personality. Qian Zhu Zhu (the third sister) is skilled in martial arts. While the youngest, Qian Bei Bei, is spoiled and known to be the family troublemaker. Jin Jin is also the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but to secure her family business, she needs to become an Imperial Merchant. She pursues Yan Yao Yu, heir to the powerful Yan family, to be one. Yan Yao Yu is famous as the most handsome man in the capital. He assumes that Jin Jin fell for his heavenly looks and is unaware of her real intentions. Yao Yu initially declines her offer, citing that he wants to marry his soulmate. Later, realizing that she is the one for him, he agrees to the marriage. The couple is shocked to know that Bei Bei and Yao Yu`s second uncle are also planning to marry. Both couples get married together and start their new lives together. The show focuses on the romance between the newly married couple. After marriage, Jin Jin is a supportive wife though she uses Yao Yu for her uses too. Zhen Di is the main obstacle Jin Jin and Yao Yu face in their business. He is also running for the Imperial Merchant as a flower merchant and can do anything to stop Jin Jin from winning. He is the nephew of the Queen and has all the support from his family. The show ends with our leads winning against Zhen Di with their team efforts.

Star Power

In the lead roles, we see Liu Mei Tong and Wen Li playing the roles of Qian Jin Jin and Yan Yao Yu, respectively. The second lead couples are Yan Qi (played by Ni Han Jin) and Qian Bei Bei (played by Zhou Zi Yue). Guan Chang plays the role of Qian Bao Bao, Wen Yu Qi of Qian Yin Yin, and Han Yu Tong of Qian Zhu Zhu, the three middle Qian sisters. Chang Jin plays Yan Qian Bo, father of Yan Yao Yu. Sharla Cheung, Shi Yu Feng, and Lin Meng play the Yan Grandmothers. An Qin Fu acts as Zhen Di, the main villain of the series.

Overall Opinion

The show has its flaws and has a lacking script. It`s filled with cute moments and comedy scenes. The main lead couple lacked the spark, and the actors could have worked more on their work. The second lead couple steals the show in that aspect. Amazing sisters is a nice short-time binge if you decide to ignore its shortcomings.
