Check out Oh My General. To me it's the best portrayal of Female General in cdramas.
Oh yeah. That. The actress fits the role.
The lead actress here doesn't.
I am East Asian. And once upon a time was skinny. So when I was skinny female then. Zhou Ye is 165cm.
So here I am. Skinny. Young. And strong enough to carry another soldier my weight etc with the guns and all. I am talking military here. And I know how strong the guys were. We had to do climbing and clambering etc. So even if everyone looks skinny we were all fit. Lets leave the commandos out of the story. Their built is another story.
So here we have He Yan who is stronger than He Ru Fei in a fight. And against the big Wuteo general.
I am just gonna say it! It can not even be compared to the double or the glory.I really did not like hair,make…
Its worth watching. However it wasn't magnificent which was disappointing. Its worth watching.
I like the actress. I really do. I think her sword fight sequences movements were good.
Was she miscast? Yes. Was she miscast like so many other actresses who are cast as a strong male characters but then chose the most small built actress? Yes.
Make up and costumes? Its ok. Nothing to write home about but its acceptable.
so funny to me that people kind of unanimously agree that chu zhao was the best written character and that kangle…
Er no. I thought he was so so pretty but so stiff/ wooden as in facial features and emoting. If I write more people or fans would get upset.
I only replied because of the " unanimous " comment. People have different tastes. Its fine if you like him. I am fine too that I disliked the character and as a 2ML he didn't have enough persona for me to even have a 2ML syndrome. He's a person who blames life circumstances for his situations and doesn't grow except to be conniving. One of the most common written character trope as seen in various other dramas.
Well its called legal channels. Pay for the legal site. They are doing the responsible things for the international…
I seriously think you should study more. There are various King Sejong Institutes around and online Korean courses. You learn more cultural and social history by studying the languages. I mean if you want to kill time. I wouldn't suggest visiting regularly as its expensive and its different. However learning to read and write would be useful. Otherwise you would literally zone out.
I happen to grow up reading more British literature only because my parents studied in the UK. I am not American by the way so I watch some Mandarin and mostly Korean dramas. Its the dramas I am interested in not necessarily the actors. When I am subbing or was subbing I researched when I was watching ie politics, subway system or the food. So I paid more attention to the scene. It has helped me a lot in my Korean cooking by the way and I am an excellent Korean cook and visit there regularly with my kids. I haven't been to China. Chinese dramas don't feature as many meals. If they do fully half are Western dishes. Then the Chinese historical drama dishes- poor production budget on food. Those deep fried xyz dishes. I literally felt like commenting- did the props person ever thought how oil is produced before they churn out all those deep fried dishes esp the fish? I also dislike the same dishes in every single freaking modern drama. Those skewers and the river snail noodles. I happen to like stinky tofu.
So I am just saying... try spreading out your love rather than just watching. Good luck with your VPN. I am going back to my ebook. I happen to have a couple of job applications to fill out today so that will take hours. All these 6 pages of job descriptions stuff are a pain in the butt. So no Cdramas for me today except for The Legend of a female general.
Go learn to be a segmenter on viki. That would take up hours of your day. I think you still need to enrol there. There are also YT channels about life in China. There is a lady; is she from somewhere in Africa who is married to a Chinese man. She does rustic cooking using log fire. She cooks very well. I also intermittently follow a Korean blogger who lives in the countryside and does seasonal cooking. I don't have that much tv time to recommend anything else. There is Korean Englishman as well. There is the Kian84 drams on Netflix. The crazy airbnb one. However my favourites are the 3 Meals a day series. Its online somewhere. Chinese documentaries wise- try those martial art competitions. They are good watching.
There are other things besides dramas to help you from OD. What about learning taichi? I would also suggest learning up one region in China since you watch dramas. Yunan, Shanghai and then the universities. Lol. I was talking to one commenter in Beyond the bar about debates and moot courts. Then I discovered when I was trying to show them a competition then one of the winners of it happens to live in Australia. He also happens to have graduated from Harvard and Tsinghua. So so random info. So things like that continues your interest but doesn't OD you on dramas.
This are just random tangent suggestions. I don't live in the US but know what some of the Ivy League universities are. I have family there who either graduated from there or when there. Random info- I used to watch the Harvard Din and Tonics when they went on tour.
Bye. So you can see how drama watching can be more than drama watching. Hope these suggestions will kill some leisure hours for you.
Well its called legal channels. Pay for the legal site. They are doing the responsible things for the international…
The other commenters were talking about. There is another service. VIU but that's in Asia. I suggest using VPN then if you're a paid subscriber and go to the Indonesian site.

Not on both WeTV? I know viki will air in a few says normally. I found it on YT. I am actually not watching and waiting for it to turn up on viki. Is it a regional thing as furtherccomments are that its not available because of one distributor. What or who is Limon in Europe?
This is really frustrating, rather than talking about the drama's plot, we have no choice to ask about the streaming…
Well its called legal channels. Pay for the legal site. They are doing the responsible things for the international audience. All 4 legal sites listed above are paid subscription service.

I used to be a viki subber before kids. I sub Mandarin and Korean dramas. That takes up more time and I learn more rather than just watch.
Good luck. I usually wait a few days. I have Netflix and viki. I actually watch more sports programme and Grand Designs on another channel.
Gosh darn job applications. I actually have to prepare for interviews.
