My Though: I love this serie! The story! The cast! There are many ups and downs in the relationship between the character, but thats just the point of this serie. Nothing is perfect! There are always negative things between it!
Four different case of relationship. The most love is the one from Yu Lian & Ah Wu and the one from Carmen & Hanns. 'You not only can get love when you are youth but also when your overage' 'You are maybe a bitch and ruined your best friends marriage but there's always someone who support you and love you'
May Phua did a great acting as Carmen. Instead to hate her character I love it!! Her bitchy style create many amuse in this serie!

Summary: The series mainly revolves around the lives of four couples and the difference between men and women.
Steven and Wenjing have been married for 8 years and have 2 children, Wen Wen and Fang Fang. Wenjing is a naggy and fierce housewife who is constantly arguing with Steven over issues such as Steven's gambling habit. Steven's mother, Ya Yu, moves in later and sows discord between Steven and Wenjing, as she hopes to find a better soulmate for her son by bringing Steven's ex-girlfriend, Ai Mei, back into the picture.
William and Ziling are a pair of newlyweds. Their relationship runs into problems when Ziling finds it boring to be a stay-at-home housewife and when Carmen seduces William. The strain in the relationship is further worsened when William finds out that he has a low sperm count and he feels he can't fulfill Ziling's wishes of having a baby.
Carmen and Hanns have each experienced a failed marriage before and have thus lost trust in the opposite sex. The two started out hating each other but eventually learn to give love another try.
Yu Lian has only had a single time of love life in her whole life. As such, Yu Lian is always envious of women who have plenty of boyfriends around them. Little did she know that Ah Wu is a secret admirer of her, until it was a little too late...

Memorable Scene: - Carmen asked Zhiling for forgiveness. She regret what she did to her, because she stand in the same situation that Zhiling stand before. - Zhiling though Weilian did something stupid against her with Carmen, but when she find out she's wrong. She went looking for him! - Yu Lian use Ah Wu to pretend to be his boyfriend and give him money to do it. Only she don't know he is very rich. Very funny their love line LOL - The scene's from Carmen & Hanns. First it was hate, than friends and after so many thing they became lovers. The scene where Hanns saved money for Carmen was very great! ETC
I continue with my Singapore marathon serie This time Mars VS Venus aka 幸福双人床
The theme of the drama is mainly to showcase the differences between the two sexes. The show consists of four different couples, each having relationship problems. This show has been deemed by many Singaporeans as one of the best drama series produced by MediaCorp in Year 2007, mostly due to its good script and excellent acting of the cast. So I give it a try.
This is my first serie of Huang Bi Ren and also her last serie of Mediacorp! As 'Jie' I really don't know how her acting is! Tay Ping Hui is playing her husband! Many viewers said that his character in La Femme is similar to this one! Jesseca Liu & Pierre Png taking the second leaders as new married couple. Jesseca is leaving Mediacorp TV this year! May won The Best Supporting Awards @ Star Awards 2007. So I'm curious how good she is in here.
Other cast are Cavin Soh, Aileen Tan, Chen Tian Wen, Li Ya Zhu, Yao Li ETC
My Though: I love the story! A mini serie that I finished in 3 hours! A modern love story with help from the post office. A message to everybody that a letter is much more romantic than an email ^^
I really don't know there are so many actress and actors in here. The serie is from 2006 and that time I wasn't so in Singapore series But when I watch this. WOW.. The cast is actually very big!
Joanne is one of my favo actress of Singapore. This is one of her first main role [correct me if I'm wrong]
Beside Joanne, Jesseca & Dawn have a minor role in here. Even Zzen got a minor role. I didn't know that ^^
Roy is so cute! Although after Easy Fortune Happy Life I'm not really like his hairstyle in here LOL.
