A Perfect Man (Chinese: 有種好男人; lit. A Certain Kind of Good Man) is a Hong Kong television series created and produced by television network TVB. It premiered on 26 December 2022 and ran until 20 January 2023, spanning 20 episodes. Starring Joe Ma and Ali Lee, the series centers on a young mother's journey to discover her son's biological father and her story of falling in love in the process.
Yeung Yat-ching's childhood was marked by tragedy, as he lost his father in a car accident and his mother left him to start a new life in America with a new partner. These experiences had a profound and lasting impact on him, shaping his skeptical outlook on marriage due to his mother's actions and his own relationship failures. Presently, Yeung Yat-ching works as a security manager at the respected Chong Kin Pong Security agency. It is there that he crosses paths with Charlie Yau. Charlie, who used IVF due to her late husband's infertility, returns to Hong Kong from England in search of her son Woody's biological father, surprisingly revealed to be Yeung Yat-ching. As the series progresses, Yat-ching and Charlie's relationship deepens, but they face challenges that strain their bond. The past secrets and Woody's actions add to the tension. Amidst a kidnapping incident and life-threatening medical conditions, Yat-ching, Charlie, and Woody must confront their pasts, their emotions, and the uncertainties of the future.
Principal photography for the drama took place in the latter half of 2021. With the storyline set in the bodyguard industry, it was said to feature depictions mimicking some aspects of the G4's working procedures and habits. Regarding her role, lead actress Ali Lee candidly acknowledged in an interview that her most significant challenge in the series was portraying a mother to a 17-year-old son, played by Ricco Ng, having to envision the entire journey from childbirth to raising the child and experiencing their shared moments. In readiness for the role, she studied real-life mothers and watched a variety of TV dramas to grasp the emotions and encounters of nurturing a child.
The series reached its peak with a rating of 22.6 points, equivalent to 1.45 million viewers. Ali Lee received praise for her adept portrayal of emotional scenes.
