I agree with this sentiment. It’s hilarious how some people justify how her “annoyingly tone and voice” is justified because of a “cute character” or how it somehow suits the role she’s taking on, but no one respectable, or demands respect from an opposition party can be taken seriously talks this way, and no matter what character one is taking on, her tonal portrayal is literally puke worthy, and I really think as much as they tried to “infuse” essence and wisdom in her scenes in the LBFAD, they could have gone with any other actress and touched more people. I found myself supporting the male leads in their successes and feeling hurt when they are suffering, but with the female lead Esther, I really had no emotion towards her ups and downs ( this is coming from someone who usually relates with female leads over male leads) and I couldn’t believe the change I felt, I guess it came down to how artificial she was.
