Truly a long ballad!
To be honest, this is my third time rewatching this drama as I have watched it before and every time it is just as good. I don't think I can ever get sick of this drama. The acting, to the story, to the production are all chef's kiss. This is one of the few dramas I've watched that made me feel this way. Although 49 eps seems long when watching it, it really isnt. Each episode is filled with entertainment you can never really get sick of. I genuinely cannot find another drama as amazing as this one. It has everything you need and would like in one drama. Truly a masterpiece.
Story :
The story speaks about the history of Da Tang, which is the mainland and most popular land in the olden days of China. The emperor in this drama, Li Shimin is an actual person in ancient chinese history. He was one of the best emperor China has seen. This drama focuses on the life of a rebel princess, Li Changge, going through hardships and learning valuable lessons. I love how the story never stirred away from the main plot and always focused on Changge and all her experiences. Typically dramas with a lot of episodes tend to get lost in the middle, but this drama stayed on point throughout all 49 episodes so props to the director and producers. The way Changge wanted revenge on the person who killed her family but ended giving that up as she realised that would not bring peace, but more suffering. The symbolism in this drama was also amazing, the way the beginning and the ending mirrors each other makes the ending all the more satisfying.
CGI:
The CGI was really good. I love how some parts of the drama the producers imputed ani8mated scenes because some people cannot handle people dying or like a mass slaughter. This helps all viewers enojoy the show without leaving anyone uncomfortable. The costumes were also really good, especially the ashele ren's. The long hair and head pieces, looks way better than the tang outfits, in my opinion. Very well done!
Music :
The music was perfect! The beginning song/OST is one of my favorite songs everrrr. It's soo good, literally gives me chills. Tyhe whole soundtrack was amazing as well. The actor who plays Hao du(Liu yunning) is an amazing singer, a lot of the songs in this drama and other dramas are sang by him. Music was perfect, the way the music matches the situation, and how whenever we see ashelesun or the egale tribe, or any other grassland tribe had their own like intro music which really fit their situation and their like culture, if that makes sense.
Acting:
The acting was really good by the cast. This is the first drama I watched with wu lei, and boy let mje tell you he shined. I heard of hipm from Nirvana in fire, but he 2was very young in that show, so seeing how much he grown and how he is able to bring such a complicated character to life amazes me. For only being 21 years old, he did an amazing job. Dilireba, as a mazing as always! Her acting never disappoints, she always manages to slay her roles but i feel like the role of Li Changge was meant for her, I genuinely cannot imagine another person playing this role. Zhao lusi also did amazing, I love her character. The way her character used to be a scared little girl who always cried and needed protection to being able to stand up for herself was amazing. Zhao lusi really portrayed this role so well, Well done to all the actors and actresses in this drama, everyone did amazing. I also want to applaud the emperor's acting, you could really feel his pain when he heard that Li Changge died, and the way he loved his people and wanted nothing but peace for everyone. The chemistry between wu lei and reba was off the charts!! The way you cant even feel a big age difference bc they made their relationship so comfortable and nothing awkward between them. I genuinely want to see them in another drama together cuz they did amazing. The character development of every character was amazing, some realized the path they want to take, others realized they been looking at the situation all wrong and some gained confidence in themselves. The changes really show how time and a journey could change someone.
Ending:
The ending was amazing, a perfect ending really. We got to see our main couple have a happy ending. I love how neither the main couple or second lead couple had to say the words "I love you" to the other, it really shows more symbolism, like i dont need to say it to show you i love you. The way they let their actions show how they feel was so sweet. The ending where they managed to fight the evil person and bring peace to the whole world, where there is no more fighting bc at the end the people suffering the most is the citizens, who are innocent. A perfect ending for everyone, kinda feel sorry for mujin tho, he lost the love of his life, wish they could have gotten a happy ending.
Overall an amazing drama!!!! Will definitely rewatch and never get tired of it <3333
