The snow walk scene is one of the most iconic scenes for this drama. Changge changed the way she spoke, as if…
Her humiliation is the price for her life. When weighed against each other, humiliation isn't such a big deal. Gongsun Heng just put himself through the same thing, how could she weather any less?
Is it worth it? Yes. because the people are the country, and the country is it's people, and these people are alive to hate her.
By this point, he already knows, It's OK if she hates him, as long as she's alive to hate him. He just wants a world with her in it.
Leo explains, in an interview, to both Reba and us; When A'sun asks Chang Ge, if she'd considered the Grasslands, and she says she knows nothing of the Grasslands, she also has no relations there. 'You know me.' Those three simple words knock Mujin into shock, and A'do is a little 'hold on!' Leo says; 'This was A'sun's heart, his confession'.
Ah. You are absolutely right!! Those types of game scenes are usually scenes that can be fastened forward (though…
I am absolutely certain, A'sun has never lost in his life.
Because, as an adopted son of the Khan, losing would make big fish take a bite, and he had to protect his mother, so he couldn't afford a loss. I believe he didn't expect to have to put his life on the line, to win this Cuju game haha By the time he realises, she's already scored the final goal.
I believe, if they were to have a serious game, now, that they'd be much more equal on the field. She kind of whoops his ass, because he doesn't realise her skill level, until it's too late.
Also, he's assessing the Chang 'An youth, at the same time.
This'll be a shock to anyone, but I cry to this song. We hear it since season 1, and we we know who this is about. It's ofc OST in s2, as well, and we THINK we know who it references, I mean, come on. But it's not until season 3, that we meet HER, and jfc it's HER????? WHAT?? Wuxin is the saddest man to ever walk the Earth. Somehow Wuxin, the Monster Killer is flipping tragic to me. The man, the guy, not the drama. It's the main CP, that's so tragic, but you don't get that, until s3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wG4l3afbEqY&list=PL6Vvuxl6fcAhRXlKMGRiTkQi4OsnY1nLM&index=26&ab_channel=CuaKayCuaKay
These are not in order of preference, it's just the list order from yt.
Favourite drama OSTs. I have a yt playlist, because I have issues. I suggest you put the links inside spoiler, just because some songs could have copyright issues, and you don't want them taken down.
Well, it's taken me until now, to brave the final, subbed. Useless trivia, it took me 2 months to finish Rise of Phoenixes, because it was unbearable to close the final chapter on that drama as well. I know this episode, this drama, well by now, I just couldn't bare to watch this episode, all the way through, until now. I'm not really brave enough, right now either, so I'm here, typing this up instead.
This drama changed my state of mind.
It's been a difficult year, this Covidian time era and mental health is very poor, globally. As lockdown started to ease, it was difficult to get back into doing the 'old normal' again. I also struggled with the 'new normal', as humanity had to change, over the past 12 months.
Is it equal parts ridiculous, and glorious, that a drama can have such an effect on your body chemistry, that you can begin to carry the weight of your own world again?
It's not that TLB is so exceptionally wondrous, it's that looking forward to something that stimulated regular serotonin boosts, without fault, week after week, and you KNEW when your next dose of happiness was coming, - you just needed to make it through to Monday.
So every week, we made it to Monday, somehow.
We have no idea if we can feel this way again. We have no way of knowing, when happiness is next around the corner.
The Long Ballad, thankfully keeps on giving. It's structure allows for re-watch upon re-watch. You will find details that brings new nuance, each time you go over the material.
I'm grateful that TLB came into my life, when it did. This is the power of cinema. This is why actors act, to lift you out of the mundane, to lift themselves, and enable them to become something 'more'.
Although this drama allowed us to escape, it also allowed for us to re-connect with what's beautiful. What's truly beautiful, are personal relationships. Connecting is beautiful. All these people find a way to connect, and show us ways for us to again - connect. Because as long as you're alive, it's never too late.
This drama kills it's youth, to drive home the point; As long as you have breath, it is never too late.
The world feels smaller, as understanding grows, and the heart finds it's beat again.
Caliente baby! I feel that too watching them steaming up the screen with the way they look at each other, especially…
It's funny, because the director tells Leo to look at Chang Ge, as they roll. Leo being cheeky, says 'OK, I'll STARE MORE at Reba'. HE actually does it, and Reba turns to look at him and blushes!
They are totally not at all formal with each other throughout the show. They were guarded about their identities…
If they ever did, it was just as a joke. Very tongue in cheek with each other, even before he finds out she's a girl and he HEAVY flirts at any opportunity. We know he's HUGELY reserved and doesn't even look at women. It feels so strange, saying he heavy flirted, once he knew she was female, but having re-watche d first 13 episodes, so many times, it becomes strikingly obvious. Every other word is a thinly veiled flirt. He looks like he can't even believe himself, sometimes.
I think, She Er had the most great character development.
He did, in history. He briefly fought to be Western Khan, but then joined Emperor Taizong, and became a General for Tang. He was also close to the Emperor, and is buried near him.
When weighed against each other, humiliation isn't such a big deal.
Gongsun Heng just put himself through the same thing, how could she weather any less?

Yes. because the people are the country, and the country is it's people, and these people are alive to hate her.

Obviously, the LB OST is incredible, but we listen to it endlessly, already.
I have a yt playlist, because I have issues.

Somebody, stop that man!

You don't UNDERSTAND how many times I've had to explain this to people.
Very tongue in cheek with each other, even before he finds out she's a girl and he HEAVY flirts at any opportunity.

In Uyghur, it means "beauty of my heart".
What a fated name
I get to be THAT close to A'sun.
Sun, She’er acting as the great Khan & lady Jin se tf!!
