That’s it. The Long Ballad topped my list of all-time favorite Chinese Historical Drama. High up there with…
Funny fact - the Bear is still the Bear in both.

Title The Long Ballad Spoiler
Peace is established everywhere. Leyan and Hao Du get married. Changge and A'Sun unofficially marry and return…
No the Eagle division is with Sun and the Great Khan. He will never fully be his former self again and he agreed with Sun that their people are exhausted from years of war and they should seek peace and rest for now. It is implied is what he promised Li Shimin he would try to achieve when he returns to the grasslands.

I am watching Court Lady which is a completely different take on Li Shimin/Taizong. It focuses on the latter part…

I saw it as it is implied that he knew or strongly suspected but he didn't want to know almost?

In history he also refused to marry his daughter off to the grasslands for political gain.
There is a fair bit on Wikipedia just search Li Shimin or Taizong.

What is everyone planning to watch next? I am still so enthralled into this drama that I can't think of another…
I am watching Court Lady which is a completely different take on Li Shimin/Taizong. It focuses on the latter part of his reign. And the men all really casually manhandle the women in that show. I am low key disturbed by it may abandon it if I keep hearing good things about Imperial Coroner.

Title The Long Ballad Spoiler
I am confused by the convo between Great Khan and Khatun in ep 37... it sounds like he knew that khatun killed…
Don't forget she was still a Sui princess and represents the political alliance between the two states. After Sui fell, he was probably still using her to control Sheér (my guess only) and there is no way to kill her without alienating Sheér.

You know what for the past two to three weeks i have been trying to descend the mountain. Even though it wasn't…
At some point WKS and ZZS is going to shoo everyone off the mountain. They want their privacy to do all the unspeakable things to each other that will make the censors hair stand up and face turn grey.

Title The Long Ballad Spoiler
even if they're not in the same area at the ending of the movie, we can all safely assume that they're together.…
They have been together since the final moments of the last episode. The final scene just shows that they chose to stay in the grassland, that they are together but not appendages of each other 24/7. Ashile Sun is just using his eagle to keep an eye on her when she is doing her own stuff. Thus fulfilling his vow to let her remain independent while keeping her safe. Its the perfect ending.

Finished, very happy with the ending and help, I can already feel the slump (2)
Estimated Time of Arrival. Faith Makes Great doesn't really count but I guess it will have to do in a pinch! I am gonna pace myself with all this patriotic stuff bc there is gonna be a ton of it...

Haodu and Leyan had 1 hour 51 minutes in the same frame in the total series. Yes, fans counted. For second lead…
This is almost exclusively a character driven story where each of the main characters have an in depth arc in which they face their own demons and grow into themselves. History dictates that the revenge plot was never gonna go anywhere and even though I really enjoyed the drama, I will be the first to admit that the overall plot and many of the subplots were weak. I didn't mind all of other characters, I don't think there is nearly enough for 49 episodes if it were exclusively about Sun and Changge. I liked Haodu and Leyan but Mimi and Mujin didn't really do it for me and the fourth couple were forgettable and arguably the least necessary.

Terrific article! I personally prefer adaptions to take a life of their own. If its too true to the book, I get bored and I drop it but that's just a personal preference.

Good points well summarized. I hope we get more of such productions in the near future and with proper endings…
Yes indeed, made my toes curl! :)

Shuyu is a man of service, love does not drive him crazy. I respect his personality
Wei Shuyu actually did show tremendous growth. He was the one that nudged Haodu in the right direction and make him less narrow minded. And he had the courage to tell Leyan his true feelings rather than mislead her even after he knew Changge was not obtainable. He starts out as a weasel but he improved.
Changge really stabbed him in the heart when she told him that before she met Sun, she never imagined spending her her life with anyone and after she met someone, she cannot imagine her life without him.

I have to agree that the villain here was a total fail. They should just edit all her parts out and replace it with a manhua. A cartoon could have done a better job. It is my biggest frustration with the drama.

I made the terrible mistake of checking out ETA on Wu Lei's next drama is coming... and bigger slump.

The thing I wanted to share about the ending :I really loved the fact that they showed Changge's dream coming…
Couldn't agree more. And his trusty pet eagle is keeping an eye on her so that if she gets in trouble, he will know right away.

Thanks a lot! It really helped me understand the complexity of her character. I find her quite annoying, but anyway,…
I think the character was much better written than it was acted. The actress couldn't put out an empathetic performance she just became annoying.
