Another disappointing general for Ryan Cheng
Another great story and cast ruined by horrendous acting of the female general. In both legend of the female general and here in shadow love - wrong casting, bad acting..I am sorry but generals do not act that way:
- you go into battle without a sword?
- unable to do minimal strategy? Freeze?
- wilting flower tactics? Really?
- wearing diamonds in a military camp?
- adolescent temper tantrums .. in a general?
- you want world peace but you immediately threaten a child with a sword?
- I see the obsession with ultra thin/ borderline anoerexic female actresses but doesn’t the director think it might be stretching it that the sword itself is almost as heavy as the woman?
And legions of men, warriors respect this and follow into war?
The rest of the cast are great. But this actress in shadow love and the one in female general are beyond disappointing.
These show are fantastically written- I love that we are seeing women as generals and leading armies - but can we make it at least believable?
Or is it on purpose? These actresses play generals that are not believable so we are subconsciously told that a female general could never happen…
