The bad comments for The Legend Of The Female General in the comments are so weird to me so far. They all seem…
Contrary to what you said, I’ve watched up to episode 23 so far. In fact, she doesn't look even remotely like a man, but to me that’s poetic license the least of my concerns. What bothers me is that I had different expectations: a plot full of action and martial arts, like the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Disney's Mulan, or Tarantino’s The Bride. I wanted a revenge story, where she would take revenge on her brother and his accomplices. That’s not what I’m seeing it's a story full of filler scenes, two actors with no chemistry, and a boring and nonexistent side plot. As for influencing others, I don’t believe people are that dumb. People watch if they want to, and anyone who didn’t like it has the right to say so. After all, why do people here think everyone must think the same and write the same things? If you're enjoying it, good for you. I was expecting a different kind of story and that’s my right. I don’t owe anyone here an explanation, nor do I have to find anything amazing just because 'everyone else does'.
they had one outfit for the first 5 episodes... drop
There is a US TV series called 24, starring Donald Sutherland, where everything happens in 24 hours, as the title suggests. I was almost convinced that this Chinese drama was the same concept.
