Last Madame

Every time I was expecting the climax of Fung Lan's story, I felt I was constantly interrupted by Chi Ling's story. The idea of how Fung Lan's bravery transformed Chi Ling is actually brilliant, but I feel like the techniques can be different for the story to be more enjoyable.

It's like trying to sleep peacefully but yet the alarm keeps snoozing every 5 minutes...

The message about women going against the grain and not bowing down to life or men is what deeply touched my heart about this show. Costumes/makeup, lighting, and sound production is great. Although some characters are stiff in their acting and speech, actress/actors like Joanne Peh (as Fung Lan), Constance Lau, and Lina Ng really kept the overall acting up to standard.

The acting and dialogue is wooden and very forced. That's as good as a rating as I could honestly give it.

I have it about 15 mins but gave up disappointed and subsequently removed it from my Netflix watch list.

Poor script, poor music background, unreal scenes (eg stabbed in the heart and cut in the face but able to tell the whole story before she dies). Wooden acting indeed.

Overall I think for Singaporeans to speak English and not singlish seems to be unnatural for many. Similar to little nyonya last time but the little nyonya had more realistic expressions and I guess it was in chinese..that perhaps was their mother tongue.

This needs to be updated: there are 12 episodes. And it's a beautiful story.
