1. Yes, Prince Fu and Yuntai Master are the same person. If not the same person, then they are colluding at the highest level.

2. Yup. Very high likelihood Yun Xiang is Prince Fu's son. At the end of ep 32, Prince Fu said he did it all to keep "his family line" and to protect his love ones. In those days, "family line" means passing one's legacy to a son, not girl. So as much as Prince Fu loves the Princess, setting her up to reign the throne is a tough buy; not saying that China didn't have a couple of female empresses/dowagers historically, but most dynasties are ruled are male.

3. NGF is just a smokescreen and underling.

I love Alan Rickman. He does have a flair as a villain and so yummy with that accent. Such a personality as Hans in Die Hard.

Hahaha, I TOTALLY know what you mean! I was just thinking the same. Prince Fu and NGF don't hold a candle to Kou YunJia's acting in fleshing out their respective characters. With KouYunJia, I could feel his menace when he's nasty. His side glances and darting eyes are impressive.

It's subjective indeed. I also didn't feel strong chem in LLtG; and I also love Leo Wu. I think it's fair to say that most dramas/movies don't have strong chem between the leads otherwise every single productions will be a big hit already.

I agree that Mr. Mo and his nephew have great chemistry. It's such a cute relationship. I notice the close up eye shots, too. I was wondering if it's because the director wants to capture ML's strong feature since Chen Xiao is a great "eye actor." Since the director gives "eyes time" to the ML, he then has to do the same for FL, too? Just all speculation here. But I'm sure the director wants to create a sense of suspicion ML/FL have to each other.

When there's strong chemistry between the performers, it doesn't matter what the obstacles are, whether it be revenge, arch enemy, or mutual suspicion, the connection will shine and sizzle through the screen. I just don't feel it here. Maybe I'm too dense.😂. Had this couple created strong chemistry, their current premise would have made the story bittersweet, but since it's lacking the connection, the romantic component of the drama falls flat.

Probably unpopular opinion here but the Princess and Officer Liu Gong Chan has more chemistry together in the few episodes since they appeared than Shu Ya Nan with Yun Xiang.

and I LOVE Chen Xiao.

I’m up to ep 14. Even several episodes back, I already had an inkling that Qi TingFeng wasn’t the mastermind behind Luo’s village. He was , so to say, the executioner, one who carried out orders from higher up , during that period of his life. Maybe you’re right, Su’s family is behind it or that Su’s family knows who’s behind it.

Honestly, Su Huai Rou and her family background are the most interesting and mysterious parts of the story at the moment. She's certainly intelligent and seemingly hiding something. Whatever hidden power and secret Su's family holds, it's enough for Yuantai Sect's Master wanting to take the family down.

It seems like the author took an intensive course on Financial Markets with focus on Derivatives, Commodities, Futures and Options.🤪

Maybe he was intentionally not taught martial arts by his Master/Yuntai sect because the Master is the ultimate person responsible for YX's family's death and Luo's village wipeout. YX was only taught the "10 Breath" to escape and avoid being hit incase his life was in danger.

Looking forward to the next arc. She never told him her real name. Let's see how he figures out LSS=YXW.

Ep 28, I'm laughing every few minutes because all the blood made it looks like Bailu and LYX are chewing betel leaves excessively.😂🤪

In the drama, they are not Uyghurs. We have done a lot of geographical and historical analysis base on their locations in the drama while the show was airing. You probably assume they are Uyghurs because Diliraba's real life ethnic's group is Uyghurs and she was invited to take on the lead role.

I'm surprised you scrolled all the way back to comment on a 2 yo thread. =) Must have really love The Long Ballad!! Enjoy!!😀 It was a great show for a lot of us.

Yup, it's the same house.

He carried her like a huge sack of rice. Hahahah😂

Who do I like the most from TTEOTM? Not gonna lie.

It's the costume designer. The main characters' including second leads' wardrobes are so rich and grand with beautiful embellishments and colors.

Second person I like the most is the makeup-hair artist/concept director.

Bai Lu is so pretty as Sang Jiu, especially the first set of hairdo and make up.

I don't think Dylan gives off the creepy feel credible enough. TTJ is borderline psychopathic and LYX totally has that eeriness.

TTJ is really borderline creepy in some scenes. He's really a good fit in manifesting the dark side of a character. Totally believable as someone who's turning evil.
