While watching Legend of Female General, I could see that Zhou Ye put in a lot of effort and I really appreciated…
I think my favorite thing about FCY is that she never has to act demure. She's unapologetically illiterate and uncultured, but not uncouth. There's no situation where she has to pretend about her physical strength (the actress is also pretty strong irl so this is probably second nature to her and definitely the reason she's able to play the role so well) and she makes the most with whatever she's given. What an amazing character
Items needed to be a military advisor/counselor. Robes that do not belong on the battlefield, an ornate but kinda…
Uh, battles were very much physical and mental warfare. The idea is rile each other up until one person breaks. The strategist's role in all this is more psychological – he's trying to affect their morale and that's what the entire theatrical get-up is geared towards.
This is my first time watching the FL, and why is it so obvious that she’s acting? I don’t think I’ve watched anything as terrible as this. Compared to many other Chinese dramas, there’s a notable lack of those moments of introspection. So many things happen, and there’s really no explanation for them. I think this is a case where the directors or writers decided to trust the audience to sort of interpret things, but it’s just not coming through.
Also, the little snippets of memories we get are very disconnected from the story that’s being told in the present moment. I don’t know, this is just very hard. I’m on episode 17, and I hope it gets better because I love the male lead so much, and he’s really the only shining light of this entire drama.
Reina is way more blatantly evil than SooMin was imo. I just finished ep 3 and it's really apparent now, but even…
That's what is so unique about this version! They don't try to even make Reina likeable. Everyone knows she's a grade-A arse and she owns it. I will say, though, that when it comes to the crazies, Soo Min is unbeatable (to me) – she had me genuinely terrified at times.
