Really can't put into words how much I love TLB, like omg I am still not over it and just keep finding myself coming back to TLB episodes and this amazing comment section. I know exactly what will happen every scene but I still feel that same excitement I felt on my first watch!

I agree, I feel like this is what happened, he just started admiring her which turned into unconsciously developing feelings for her and his feelings and care for her grew more and more

This to me is 1000% worth it, one of my favorite dramas ever and first watch, some things might be a bit confusing since this drama has plenty of hidden meanings and depth. The plot is great, and both leads have a strong character. Music is amazing, acting and sets are all fantastic

The uncle killing her father was an either I die or you die situiation and he was still very kind and caring to Chang Ge since he always saw her as his own daughter and they have been very close and his relationship with her mother (both may have had a liking to each). Her uncle killed her father, not sure how but he knew from Chang Ge's mother's letter after hearing the whole plot.

And your next question how did Sun and Sher become actually good people when they grew up despite being raised by Khan. I think this is a pretty deep question. For Sun, I feel it is his brotherhood and so he became caring for them and developed his kindness and traits. He has people like Mu Jin since his childhood that he was good friends with and cared deeply for. For Sher, I feel it might be his short-ish friendship with Sun and his relationship with Mimi. Since he lost both of those, he became vicious but later discovered that was not his true self after realizing everything.

Personally to me, the age difference between Leo and Dilraba wasn't an issue and I think they had great chemistry, they seem like good friends of screen too.

I think Ya Luo when Sun got chatty with Chang Ge when she wanted to have them help her escape. Maybe Sun when he was discussing the 'dude' who poisoned the guards and ran away.

The imperial coroner is a gem!! I think Leo Wu has a movie with Wendy Zhang coming out in August. Dilraba and Yang Yang's drama You are My Glory may come out at the end of the month. Alen has The Eternal Love 3. I haven't found any other cast members of TLB who have summer releases this year

I remember a comment about that too, this drama has plenty of things that actually happened or relate to some things that could have happened like Li Shi Min, Xuanwu Incident etc. And there are other things that are fictional like Princess Yi Cheng's plots, Chang Ge and Sun's romance, etc.

congrats!!!

For me maybe like 6-7 times, lost count and watched countless clips. Also not the type to rewatch dramas but TLB stuck with me so well I had to rewatch quite a few times and no worries about the trivia game, I forget some of the details too. :)

These reasons make some more sense why the views were lower than expected

OMG yasssss

yup, congrats!!!

Agree, I feel like TLB should have much higher views than 3 billion.
Reasons
1. Like you said, Dilraba is a very popular actress, literally of her dramas are pretty popular

2. Leo is also a pretty popular actor contributing to popular mains which definently helps a drama's popularity a lot

3. Rounding out the mains and Lusi, Liu Yu Ning and Alen Feng, Lusi being really popular too and the latter two having some fans too

4. TLB is good drama, popular and good looking leads will make many people start watching but not finish watching but TLB is a great drama all the way through. Just by the 8.6 rating on here and top 200 ranking even though it has only been released this year(many people including me feel it should be higher)

5. I believe there has been some rigging or some people making the views not go up because clearly a drama this popular needs to have way more views

Same for me and the singer's voice just is so good!

Welcome!!

Checked out the comment section before 20k and joined a bit after 20k, most active at around 25k but still pretty active at 20k :)

Welcome!

Agree and another strong reason was because of the strong plot on top of the strong chemistry and acting. The plot moves not based on misunderstandings.

Kind of related/not but Sun and Chang Ge were talking in episode 7 and Sun said that some people were like fire that keeps burning everyone who gets close to them while others are like water who tolerate everything and after hearing his adoptive father (Great Khan) say that, he broke up with his best friend at the time (Sher). Another one of Great Khan's ways to make Sher and Sun hate each other and become rivals so they will actually fight vigourously always wanting to one up each other so he will become even more powerful since both of them would have a motive. That worked for Sher but not as much for Sun.

I remember after the Sun rescued Chang Ge by holding Leyan hostage and they ran off, and she asked him what he was doing here and he gave her the dagger back and she ran off.
