General of what?
Well, it's about China; we know the government may have censored some part of the drama for some megalomaniac reason, but unfortunately, I have to judge based on what I saw... The title of the work is eye-catching, Legend of the Female General, but what we see the least in these 36 episodes is this general. It's pure marketing; it's just another female character they try to make us believe is actually autonomous and independent in relation to the man... but at no point do we see that, partly because of the actress’s physical presence, which doesn’t convince much, and they chose not to show any part of our protagonist’s military life. The parallel plots felt weak and uninspired, with repetitive scenes like the one with Xiao Jue, where he gets beaten twice, and the emotional tension is nonexistent. Much of this is due to the actor’s performance, which could be compared to an iceberg. Scenes that should’ve been emotional were ruined by random characters just to drop information, and some flashback parts no one was really interested in, like the one with the master and the princess. I hope for better luck with future scripts
