She also handled the playful and naughty role so well in Crouching Tiger. For example in White Hair Maiden (although she was way too soft when it comes to mushy love), she really kick ass with awesome martial arts and have killing eyes full of hatred. Shui Ling, on the other hand can handle strong independent woman as well. Even Sun Li can potentially make a drama boring to the max if she were to play nice quiet lady roles, so I really support her in the strong roles. There are prettier girls today but they cannot act like a true lady that is reserved, without being annoying or too pretentious. For the famous distress roles like Tears in Heaven, she can appear very soft and elegant just like a fairy. I think they are similar by face but not much about acting.Д«ut what made Shui Ling so remarkable to me is how dynamic she is. Also true Sun Li mostly do very strong roles, and she is super good at them too. Haha no offense at all, it is pretty much a fact that Shui Ling tend to do more damsel in distress roles.
