waddaya mean "she isn't pretty enough"?
So, I spent a fair bit of the weekend rabidly saving pics of various wuxia dramasa and...found posts of people saying Eva Huang(who, granted, I haven't seen in anything before) and Fan Bing Bing either weren't pretty or weren't pretty enough. As I happen to think both are prettier than the actresses they were being compared to, the got a giant "HUH???" out of me.
Eva Huang in Sword Stained With Royal Blood
Fan Bing Bing in The Legend and the Hero
Maybe it's because neither is widdle and cutesy otherworldly beauty(but who knows if she's anything else?)
Eva Huang:
Incidentally, I LOVE her wardrobe in this show...I love the more subdued look...most muxia heroines have outfits so bright and cute that they're almost all you notice, but he quieter, subdued outfits seem to make everything look prettier, instead of competing with her.
This one is one of my favorite pics from the series that I've found:
Fan Bing Bing:
"O, what fools these mortals be." That or "Stupid men." (this, incidentally, is based on what I've read of the plot)
Incidentally, IMO, Fan Bing Bing is the only actress who can pull off those long, thing pigtails that show up in these series so much well(I noticed it in Handsome Siblings, too)
