Ugh
The long ballad was indeed very long and very stale. If you are looking for an epic love story with a lot of romantic chemistry, an interesting plot, and meaningful character development, you won't find it here.The story started out strong. FL and ML met each other under interesting circumstances – playing football. Shortly thereafter, FL lost her family to a revolt and was forced to flee her home. Unfortunately, the story kind of got lost within itself after that.
Changge was like the perfect Joan of Arc warrior princess. As a young woman from a privileged background, she was great at everything, including sports, sword fighting, and military strategy. The fact that she was perfect was her one major flaw. There was no room for growth. I enjoy strong female characters, but Changge's flawlessness and acting superior with mostly everyone made her overbearing. She couldn’t be beaten, making her extremely one dimensional. It was not convincing that all of her superb skills were the result of her uncle training her as a child.
While the drama started out strong, the story later took a strange turn and lost all focus. At the beginning, Changge swore revenge against those who instigated the revolt and killed her parents, but she ended up moving around different places and doing things completely unrelated to her original goal. The fact that nobody could figure out that she was a woman was pretty comical. All it took was for her to wear men’s clothes for everyone to suddenly become blind to the fact that she had a bump on her chest and round hips. What's worse, later in the show the revenge plot was completely abandoned and now we had a brand new end boss completely unrelated to Changge.
Yueyan ended up to be my favorite character because she went through the most intense character development and overcame all the difficulties on her own. Her and Hao Du was also my favorite couple because there was so much contrast between them - he was cold and calculating and she was timid and soft. The show did a good job at showing his growing feelings for Yueyan and his inner struggle trying to deal with them.
Half-way through the show, a slew of minor characters started appearing out of nowhere and served no purpose other than existing for Changge and her interests. Then, everything got really stupid. People kept insisting that women couldn't lead, women couldn't participate in politics, women were fragile, but there was this 14 y/o princess Tujia running around signing treaties and fraternizing with grown men without anyone saying anything. She'er was the leader of the wolf division and a good fighter, but he spent a big chunk of the show crying for mommy and being absolutely useless. Many decisions were stupid and made no sense. The crown prince's friend was a traitor and participated in Changge's abduction, but for some reason that was never addressed. Sun got arrested for killing him and no explanation was given. The fact that a member of the royal family got kidnapped wasn't even mentioned. And this type of nonsense continued until the very end. Nobody communicated anything. The show also didn't do a very good job at juggling between different character arcs. Characters would disappear for several episodes at a time making us kind of forget about them.
Explanations for certain plot lines were mediocre. It was never clearly explained why the revolt happened, why Changge's mom wrote the letter, to whom, and what was in it, or why the uncle killed her dad. The only take-away was that the emperor uncle didn't kill the mom.
The romance was underwhelming. It wasn't only because Changge and Sun had no romantic chemistry, but also because watching them together was like watching two dudes interact. They were just hanging out. The one kiss they shared was blurred out and we were forced to watch birds. I don't care that the writers intended it, it looked stupid.
The acting was very mediocre. Although she is very beautiful, Dilraba does not strike me as a very good actress, and, Leo Wu needs to work on his acting skills. I haven't seen him in anything other than Love like the Galaxy and the Long Ballad, and I wasn't impressed with his portrayal of stoic brooding characters. Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning stole the show for me.
Bottom line, the drama was too long, the plot was too convoluted, and the romance was too stale.

By Far the Best historical Drama that Dilraba Played
STORYWhat I love about this series is, it's not dragging to make the story long. Also it's a fast pacing story but not too fast that will make you confuse on some certain scenes. After watching half of the full episodes a lot of things happened and witnessed how Li Changge matured and learned how to set aside revenge to save her country. This series doesn't have a DULL moment. You will always look forward for the next episodes. Overall I love the storyline.
Acting/Cast
Although others are complaining about the age gap between the two lead actors, I don't honestly mind at all for I know that the Director and the Writers cast the two of them not basing thier age, but their capability to fulfill and give justice to the role. So far I like the cast members whether it's the main lead or the supporting actors everyone is giving their best acting and that's what made it so far best Drama for me.
Music
I Love the OST of this Drama especially the opening part, the contemporary song it just made perfect, setting the mood to watch the series.
Rewatch Value
Since it's a fast pacing story I will definitely rewatch it again to reminisce the feeling on watching it the first time!
Overall
I love this Drama not only becuse of the lead actors but how they put logic in every scenes which you don't find often in every cdramas.

Dilraba and Leo Wu did not disappoint
The two main leads of a drama always make a big difference to a drama. For this, there are 4 leads who completely mesmerise - Dilraba, Leo Wu, Rosy Lusi Zhao and Liu Yu Ning. Additionally, there are the support roles played by Allen Fang and Yi Da Qian, Kudousi and Geng Le - all outstanding in their own rights.This drama tells the story of a Tang dynasty princess. Li Chang Ge, whose father was the crown prince and was killed by his brother who also massacred his nephews and became the emperor. She escaped and made her way to the northern border in the hope of securing support from her father's former generals to overthrow her uncle. She met an Ashile prince on the way and ended up in the kingdoms in the north. They went through a lot together and fell in love. Along with this, there were secrets, and what appeared to be and was not.
The story is interesting and keeps your attention. There are very few lull moments. To craft suspense and lip-biting moments in dramas, very often scenes which are silly and illogical are conveniently thrown in just for this purpose. There are relatively few of these. The story is pretty convincing although fictitious.
Dilraba who hailed from a number of highly rated dramas like Ten Mile Peach Blossom and its sequel lived up to expectations. Leo Wu who acted the teenage bodyguard Fei Liu has grown into a handsome young man did equally well.
Costumes, music, cinematography, backdrop are all excellent. But I do not like the caps on the male actors - look quite silly.

Disappointing
Finally found the time to watch this one - after such high reviews. If you are expecting drama similar to Legend of Fuyao or Princess Agents - do not watch. I happen to love strong female characters and was looking forward to this drama. What I got to watch was poor acting - especially by the FL. This actress is better suited for modern dramas or where there is not much action or emotions involved. In this drama, she was supposed to be a trained warrior - there was a scene where she was being chased by soldiers and she is running to evade them - it was actually comical to see her running.The writers I believe got confused about what exactly they wanted to narrate. FL's character initially wanted revenge - she is supposed to be a strategic thinker, but I never got to see it. I found her dumb, and easily lead/manipulated.
The ML had a very strong screen presence but unfortunately appeared very stiff in the scenes with FL. This could be bcoz he is too young, but he definitely is a promising actor.
Overall, I liked the actor playing Young Khan/Ashile She Er and Zhao Lusi - playing Princess Yuouyan. The actor playing Hao Du has been praised immensely @MDL but to me, he appeared constipated most of the time.
Such a waste of time watching this drama. I am amazed that this show has been so highly rated in MDL.

Definitely worth watching.
I ABOSULTELY loved watching this drama, definitely worth watching all 49 episodes.I love the strong and smart female lead. I've seen some of Dilraba's other dramas but this is my favorite character she's acted by far. I never really liked her other characters but she acted so well in this one and the character was strong and smart. I love watching her character development throughout the drama. This drama really showcased her acting and I'm starting to see why she has so many fans. I wasn't a huge fan of her other dramas since the character's she portrayed weren't as likable but the character she played in this drama was so likable. She wasn't perfect but she was smart and strong. She had her problems but she learned to overcome them and it was so great to watch.
This is the first drama I've seen of the male lead and I will definitely be checking some of his other works out now. He is so cute lmao. I felt like the chemistry between the two leads wasn't quite there but I loved the romance that was between the two characters. In the beginning, he kept saving her but I felt as we neared the end of the drama, she became more independent (even though she already was in the beginning) and was able to showcase her great intelligence and strategies. I definitely felt like there wasn't as much martial arts near the end but I was perfectly fine with that because of all the military strategies and mental warfare that was going on covered it.
This is the first drama from Rosy's that I've seen where she wasn't the main lead and I loved her character as well. Her story was well written and I loved seeing her grow throughout the show and learn to care for the country. She played a very delicate princess who grew stronger each episode and learned to carry the responsibility that she holds as the princess of the land. I think her acting was great and her storyline was a nice side story from the main plot. She wasn't the main lead but her character definitely contributed a lot to the main story by influencing the people around her.
The plot was great and I love how every single character went through their own sort of character development and matured throughout the show. The cast was great, I never felt off about any of the actors and will definitely be checking some of their other works out. Music was also great. The drama has art scenes sprinkled throughout the show and as though some people weren't a fan of it, I definitely enjoyed it. It makes me want to check out the manhua and read it as well.
Overall, this is one of the best shows in 2021 and I'm glad that I waited to watch it after it ended. I would never be able to wait for every episode to come out. Each episode was just so interesting and lead me to wanting to watch more. Definitely check it out, it's worth one's time!!!

Revenge is best served with ketchup, Changge!
This is a really good show and it stays relatively good throughout its run too. It has an interesting premise that develops into exciting plots. The acting is great and the sets are beautiful. I really hope the show will go on to become a trendsetter in Cdrama land. The way it treats its female main characters, its romances, and how it developed logical growth arcs was very impressive but people do get a bit overexcited about how genre-defying it is...it still has plenty of your usual candy cliches.I can’t stress enough how good the main female characters were though. (but just the main ones! The supporting ones were cr*p!) So, we are used to seeing strong and innocent women in historical dramas. But they usually end up three ways: Mary Sues, cute childish babies, or Femme Fatales. Here that was so beautifully avoided. In the two main female characters. Not anyone else. Just those two female leads.
When a character is feminine and demure, she isn’t a grown woman acting like a five-year-old and when the character is a smart and powerful strategist, she isn’t a perfect robot who makes no mistakes.
The characters were flawed and those flaws were a part of their journey. They had relatively realistic growth arcs and they changed in meaningful ways.
Also, Dilireba’s character Changge started the show by dressing up as a boy and I know people like to joke about how impossible it is for anyone to see someone who has Dilireba’s looks and not realize it’s a woman but I don’t really agree. I’m going to credit Dilireba Dilmurat for being more than a beautiful face and say that she successfully sold the idea of being a woman in a believable male disguise through the way she embodies herself as a boy, her expressions, and her physicality. The voice actress also helped (shout out!). What I have seen so far of cross-dressing characters has only ever really been exaggeratedly ridiculous or just plain improbable but the way Dilireba played her character as a man, was so committed to the illusion with no worries to appear cute or lovely, that it becomes believable. And the best thing? Well, let’s say people don’t end up getting fooled as easily as those in other shows either! Super well-done!
Now I think you should check this show out if you like:
1. Honest depictions of feminine power
2. Tang dynasty aesthetics
3. Female friendships
4. Only side plot romance. It's not really central to the story (for good reason)
5. Moderate amount of battles and fights
6. Enemies to allies to friends to lovers (it’s a mouthful but they did it)
7. Character arcs so fine you could bounce a coin off
8. Cross-dressing characters
9. Scheming and plotting and strategy bs
10. Hot evil dude being sexy while trying to murder the main character
11. Nuanced anti-hero/antagonist who honestly deserved more presence in the show (Not to be confused with: )
12. Also, a weak and bad villain who almost ruined the show (I’ll get to this… oh I will get to this)
13. “War is the folly man’s game” -quote by me
14. Weirdly, there are so many, like really too many, handsome men in this show. Just candy everywhere.
15. Shows that pass the Bechdel test.
Summary: Li Changge is the daughter of the crown prince who one day finds her favorite uncle has staged a coup, killed her parents, and taken the place of the crown prince. Stricken with grief and righteous anger, she sets out on a journey of survival and revenge. Only to realize that the fights over the crown are all bullsh*t because the whole point of government is to help people and taking revenge and vying for power is just about ego and greediness. So she decides to put that cr*p aside and instead help better the country. There's also this hunky hot guy who follows her around, being impressed by her amazingness and helping her.
Story: I love the premise. It’s such a mature way of looking at things. The show really doesn’t play around. From the beginning, it tries to deal with this situation in a serious and focused way. We get a gorgeous B-plot with the second female lead that correlates with the hero’s journey that Changge goes through and the characters mirror each other in such a delicious way that I haven’t seen in cdramas so far. Both of these arcs make sense for the characters we are introduced to. In addition, the love interests get their own character arcs that make sense for them. They are more subdued but it’s good because this is a mostly female-centric story. Then there’s Wei Shuyu who is the human equivalent of an adjustable wrench. A very handsome wrench!
The supporting cast are mostly pretty two-dimensional. I HATED some, I tolerated others but there was a handful I found really interesting. I especially loved the character of Li Shimin who was so deliciously grey and ambiguous. Other than him, most characters had narrative utility but he also has a pivotal role in Changge’s connection to her humanity and that makes him very precious for the story’s integrity.
Mention-worthy details:
1)The jump to comics for big action scenes: It was a choice. A very smart one. It was a bit frustrating but they certainly saved money. I didn't like the choice but I think it was such a cunning way to save money that I am a little charmed by it.
Acting: The acting is very good. I had seen Dilireba, Zhao Lusi, and Wu Lei in other projects and I was so surprised by how improved everyone was. I still can’t really see Wu Lei as a romantic heartthrob, to be honest, but I think everyone else was just fine thirsting after him! The supporting cast's acting is not steadily good. Some actors overact, some are just not good actors, maybe? Others were fine and some did great work.
Music and production: The music is good. I really liked the grassland-inspired themes. I wonder if I’m getting used to the music in cdramas. I used to dislike them all…oh well. The editing was exciting. There were some scenes that were almost worked too much. The shots changed too many times in the beginning but it got better later in the show. The costumes are very pretty and the sets are various and detailed.
The negative: The main issue I have with this show was that the main characters’ character arcs end before the show ends? Like 20 episodes earlier than the end of the show. Then the main character goes on to take actions that are totally in-character but don’t really add anything to her personal growth. She just does things that you would expect her to do in the situations she is put in but she's no longer an active participant. She just reacts.
So, it’s sort of like when you read a novel and then the novel ends and you go and read the extras which are not completely related to the main novel but still hold up. Except here, where the novel actually ended there were still a lot of plot holes and important conclusions were withheld. So, you have to read the extras in order to scavenge those important pieces of information and conclusions amongst more or less irrelevant plot points that mostly focus on side characters.
So yeah. I didn’t like that part. It felt like pandering for the most part. But because the production as a whole is pretty good and they have built up good rep so far in the show, it’s not a complete meltdown. The show kind of goes down with dignity. Everyone is still in-character, the acting is steadily good…for the most part, the sets are beautiful, the editing is melodramatic as always, the plot is exciting, and very-dramatic-moments keep the excitement steadily high so it’s no chore to get through. But I personally think it could be better. For me.
It was like when you see something is stuck between the teeth of the person talking to you and you don’t want to interrupt them or be rude so you don’t say anything but you can’t help noticing it the whole time. I noticed how irritating and pointless yet overused this one character was and it made me see the flaws in the plot and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it.
So it’s a good show but the logic is a house of cards; if you poke it, it’ll fall apart. Just don't poke it as I did!
rewatch value: Not a rewatchable show for me, personally. It didn't inspire such unforgettable emotions in me that I would need a repeat.
Overall: Now I still highly recommend this show. I think it’s a few heads above the idol romance drama. I hope its popularity will lead to a new trend among the average cdramas, with logical behavior, better written female characters, sensible and well-developed romance, more grounded acting, and almost no miscommunication.

Didn’t meet my expectations too much. But still a good drama more or less.
I was anticipating a lot. It was on my watch list for a while but the feeling that it didn’t full fill my expectations as much I would have hoped is one of the worst feelings as overly dramatic as it may be.The cast is good looking. The strong female lead that is like Mulan is something I always appreciate and a factor I look for with these kind of dramas. The martial arts is great. The story is a little complicated but the essence of the issue remains not too difficult to understand. A second female lead that doesn’t want to kill the first out of jealousy is a breath of fresh air and that’s good.
The romance part is sweet between the first leads. But it lacked the passionate element that just too me would seal the deal but they didn’t show that even the kiss scene was blurred out and it just showed two birds making out. Even the supporting actors kiss would be shown. I don’t know what’s up with that.
So because of this, the romance element isn’t wholeheartedly something i was glad to see because right lacked that passion. Some might not find this important but some does so I m one of them.
I mean putting the aside the food looks of the cast if something like is lacking the romance element isn’t wholly fulfilled.
The second male lead who had feelings for the first female lead was a bit of coward he didn’t truly fought for her or had the courage to do anything to stand up to the bully. The second female lead was sweet but abit annoying of how many times she kept crying over something.
The editing for the last scene of the fire was hilariously bad but oh well.
If these elements isn’t crucial for you to look for then it might still be a watch for you.
I might not watch it again for a while.

A story of woman empowerment - from a bird egg fan!
I'm often late to the party because I like to be careful when choosing dramas to watch, but I just had to write a review on this drama that was by far the best 2021 Chinese drama for me (that pushed Word of Honor (山河令) one place down, oops!).Story
I personally enjoy historical + wuxia dramas, and this was a relatively good mix that had lots of action and didn't focus too much on political discussions unlike drams such as Yanxi Palace (延禧宫). I saw many reviews commenting that the plot may be cliche, but I concur otherwise. Predictable as it is, the storyline is unique and refreshing (e.g. the King's support for Chang Ge, the advisors' patriotism for the country). Moreover, the plot was easy to follow such that you can focus on the characters, which is great for viewers like me who don't like to be muddled by the 101 things that are going on.
Initially the vibe from episode 1-2 seemed similar to Princess Agents (楚乔传) and I was expecting to feel that emptiness and heartache I felt when watching the drama then. Fortunately, the plot didn't focus too much on the "revenge" notion, and while characters seem to be able to get over deaths pretty quickly, I saw it as a trade-off for the plot to move on. That being said, the death scenes definitely did make me cry and hey- that's got to do with the amazing actors as well!
One more note - on the part of romance, there were lots of cute pairings, but neither was it the main plot of this drama, nor was it cringe in any aspects. Very well-balanced.
Acting/Cast
Any bird egg fans (鸟蛋 - Chang Ge x Ashina Sun fans)? Seeing how much the actors have improved since a few years back (I watch Dilraba in Eternal Love (三生三世十里桃花) and Sweet Dreams (一千零一夜), Wu Lei in Fights Break Sphere (斗破苍穹) which I dropped mid-way), I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment for them - they are definitely hardoworking actors, and I am glad that their effort has paid off! Acting was great, especially the emotions that they convey through their eyes...
As much as I try to think from another perspective, I simply disagree with critics on their acting. Indeed, I can concede that one or two parts were awkward and did not fit the emotions of the story then, but it could possibly be due to the time of filming (some later scenes were filmed earlier). But regardless, this was definitely not an issue at all for me! Side leads were great as well, and there were lots of veteran actors that made the entire drama a +++!
Music
Is there anything more that needs to be said? The first time I heard the ending song, I was sure this drama was going to be great (and yes, I'm glad I was right)!! Best OSTs of 2021, really.
The sound effects throughout the drama was well thought through too. There is a YouTube documentary video on the making of the OSTs and sound effects which really showed the intention to deviate from typical historical dramas that makes it even more worth watching :)
The Long Ballad is a story of female empowerment, with a well-balanced plot that captivated me from the start to the end. It may be slightly long for those who don't like long dramas, but it's definitely worth watching (just watch the first episode first! If you like it, that's the kind of standard you can hold the rest of the drama up to :) ).
Have fun!!

One of the best dramas in Cdramaland
If you are willing to invest your time in watching a drama will remain in your memory for the next decade and beyond, one that could possibly change your life (for the better), this could be it.Key Features of this drama:
1. Unique storyline of a young, smart, fearless, multi-talented Tang Princess falling in love with a romantic grassland General from the Eastern Turk. She will start off wanting to seek revenge for the killing of her parents, but will end up understanding it is more important to put aside self-interest and see the greater good of her people and her nation.
2. Every character was supremely well portrayed by the respective actors/actresses. The beautiful OSTs, and background music will add to arouse the emotion that the director intended, whether it is sadness, anger, regret or joy. You will not only feel those emotions through the actors/actresses' facial expressions, but also hear it through those songs and background music.
3. Set during the time of the Tang dynasty, it moves almost at the 21st century speed. There are very few moments of dullness, redundant dialogue, silly misunderstanding, or needless charactors added to prolong a series. The cast spoke at a very even pace. Not too fast, as if we are watching in the fast forward mode; or too slow to put us to sleep.
4. Choreography. Whilst many of the live battle scenes were replaced by animation, it was well compensated by the excellent choreography of the many one-to-one fight scenes.They are an excellent feast for the eyes that will keep you captivated.
5. CGI. I find some of the CGIs used in this drama rather amazing. Especially all those flying arrows. And there were lots of flying arrows used in this drama, much more than those daggers in House of Flying Daggers (Zhang Ziyi, 2014). If you like those flying daggers there, you will love the flying arrows in The Long Ballad.
6. Iconic scenes. This drama has countless iconic scenes that will remain in your memory for years. Watch it, and you will know what I mean.
7. Excellent screen chemistry. Especially for the first two couples. Some might add, even for the 3rd and 4th couple. This was largely achieved through good acting, rather than kissing or bathtub or bedroom scenes. There was one or two well executed kisses, but by and large, magical connections between actors and actresses were achieved through tender holding of hands, sweet forehead kisses, gentle hugs, subtle eye-connections, large scribbling of name and gentle caressing of hairpin which conveyed just how much one party misses the presence of the other.
8. Life Lessons. The hidden gems of this drama series are the many life lessons one can learn through the adventures and character development of the two princesses. Li Changge sought to avenge her parents, seemingly murdered by her uncle. You read this in the synopsis. By the time the series ended, you will see her learning to forgive; even the person who killed her biological father. In the process, she found healing and closure in her relationship with her uncle. She also learned to forgive two other characters who were constantly trying to hunt her down.
Besides forgiveness, you will find many other important life lessons conveyed through this drama. Lessons of mutual trust and respect between healthy mature loving partners; making personal sacrifices for the greater good of a nation; finding ways to acheive peace instead of resorting to violence to settle conflict and differences. The character Li Changge herself shows us the importance of being brave and courageous, willing to take calculated risks, willing to be humble and learn from one's mistakes. From Leyan, the 2nd female lead, the importance for leaders to get down to the ground, see and feel the needs of the people you lead. Listen to them. Empathise with them.
There you are. I hope this review motivates you to invest your time in watching this excellent drama, and be blessed.

This is a pure 10/10 you fools!
Ignore any review which is below 10. This is an absolute masterpiece! It is the perfect show in terms of acting, plot, production value, script, music, romance, political drama, revenge and redemption, etc. Whatever you are looking for, this show will deliver! I cant rave enough about this drama. All leads are phenomenal. This drama does not rely on cliches, stupid leads, dumb decisions, pointless love triangles, draggy episodes, etc. Every single episode is beautifully edited and there is a purpose to every arc, whether it is focused on character progression, setting the stage, climax, etc. Dilraba, Leo, Zhao Lusi, etc. are all magnificent, the use of manhua scenes is so cool, and almost every character has a purpose and acts accordingly. I dont know what else to say - just watch this drama. Definitely in my Top 3 all time.Was this review helpful to you?
The Best All-in-One Packaging History Drama!
If you are looking for some well-written historical dramas then you can give this a chance. Oh no, you should!This is the first time I've watched a really fun historical drama and didn't come across anything "annoying" or "want to skip". In fact, I wanted this drama to have a season 2 or an extra episode or spinoff, or whatever.
Why do I say this is the best "all-in-one" packaging? Here's why:
1. The story is not cliché and more "real life" related. In some dramas we can see that there are always "too good characters" and "too evil characters", but I couldn't find them in this drama. Everything flows like real life, each character has a reason why they are and it makes sense.
2. The chemistry between all the characters is superb! Especially the main leads, insanely good! This kind of romance suits their character very well. On the other side, about family and friendship are also really touching.
3. I really like the fight scenes! The fight scenes in this drama make your heartbeat move so fast. Sometimes 1:1 with romance scenes, LOL.
4. The setting is very cool. Not a lot of CGI, so make you feel like this is real and more natural.
5. The production really worked hard to make this drama such a rare gem. How do they use sophisticated items and how they take every scene and do the editing.
6. OST. Jesus Christ! All the OSTs really make this drama lively and beautiful. Each OST is unique and has a specific suitability. I The sound effect was great too.
7. I also praise the TLB team for each BTS. It's so funny and makes me fall in love with this drama even more. Interaction between actors and actresses, how they enhance each scene, they improving, and enjoy the shooting.
And many more, i can't say again more than this, if not, i can explain it for more 365 days (jk) :D
So, just watching and you will know that this drama is worth it!

Wonderful from start to end
This drama was so much better than I expected. I enjoyed every stage of this epci saga, and even being enarly 50 episodes long, I never felt like the plot dragged.I loved all the characters (the good, the bad, and the ugly) and the character growth was perfect. The relationships were well thought out and I was so caught up in everything going on I almost forgot I was watching a drama.
I laughed, I wept, I cried for joy - I had so many emotions throughout this drama and overall I found it to be perfectly executed and I would highly recommend to anyone who likes action, intrigue, and romance.
