wow... Miran is horrible and I'm actually disgusted by her behaviour... there's gonna be nothing of her "story" that will make me like her. Maybe she does has problems and is pitiful, but the way she treated Eun Hee...Anyone out there... please cut people like Miran out of your life.

After the first story I'm kinda overprotective over Eun Hee. She doesn't deserve more suffering or shitty people in her life. I'm glad she has Hosik as a friend. He seems to really care for her.

what a cool cameo!! I loved Find me in your memory!

okay maybe I'm the weird one... but I was greatly anticipating a kiss scene between the leads and felt so disappointed after they didn't even properly show it.. this was so... disappointing? why a freakin Disney kiss? I don't expect a hot making out scene, but couldn't they have at least shown us their kiss? After all their intense chemistry... this is what we get? The actors both had great kissing scenes in other dramas... I feel like I was so excited for this episode and thrown under the bus :'(

No kiss would've been better than that ... they intense staring and glaring was better than that lol

Not really.... they got it.... but we didn't :( I'm so disappointed they didn't show the kiss... why? the chemistry is insane and they're adults, but they left us hanging there... They didn't have to show us an intense kiss scene ( but they could've easily pulled that off knowing both actors) but we didn't even get to see the kiss... this is no better than the infamous wall kiss of korean dramas ...

thb I didn't like the beginning but I'm sure loving it now xD

I actually liked Tae Hoon's sister but after yesterday's episode I don't anymore 😅 I hate how she's always saying that she's sacrificing her life for her niece and that she will die alone just to take care of her niece... That's not just pressuring her niece, but she's also trying to guilt trip her brother for finding someone he loves again. That's really toxic behaviour and it's actually downplayed by that "comedy-like" character of hers.

Haha yeah!! And his dimples are so endearing 😍

tbh I had a hard time getting warm with this drama the first 4 episodes... but gosh.. how I'm loving it right now !!! 😍 I'm glad that I didn't drop it and continued, because I started to like all of the character even those, who I couldn't stand in the beginning (Yeom Ki Jung).

MJ and Mr Gu's relationship is such a splendid slow burn. I love good slow burns so much... don't know if they are ever gonna be real romantic, but I think I will be satisfied either way. Their chemistry is insane and I've totally fallen for our "not so mysterious anymore" Gu Ja Gyeong XD The gaze he has when he's looking at MJ lovingly... I love it!!!

And totally unexpected...the bromance between Mr Gu and Chang Hee! Never knew I needed it, but lol... they're hilarious together! 😂

yeah so weird...

Oh I thought Da Mi would be the lead again.... :(

Well, it's an adaption an American tv series so it's actually not that weird if it's "westernized". But we didn't even get to see the drama yet, so I wouldn't judge it as of now :)

I hope not... I feel bad for her but she's not in the condition to take care of a baby hence why her son is with the father. I hope she finds her way to be happy again tho, but a child substitute for her son is not the way to go.

If someone adopts the baby I hope it would be Eun Hee. She's mature, responsible, capable and kind. And she can't get children of her own anymore since she has meno pause.

At least they're trying.... I'm actually baffled at all the adults being immature, irresponsible and violent.

haha their chemistry is insane and the sexual tension is real... so it's definitely not just u XD But given the nature of this drama... I think it won't happen... hopefully we get a kiss tho.

Thank u for the recommendations! :) I'll definitely try some of those.

Thanks :) It's Wuxia as well, but I'll try it when it airs.

Thanks so much for the recommendations! I will try Story of Ming Lan. A lot of episodes, but the reviews seem pretty good :)

Thank you! I don't mind airing dramas, but I tried Who rules the World... I was excited that Yang Yang and Lu Si are the leads, but it's actually the magic elements that I don't like. That's why I was asking... because there are so many Wuxia dramas or fantasy/magic elements dramas out there...sadly I don't like those historical dramas, that's why I wanted recommendations of dramas without it :D
I will try Jun Jiu Ling tho, seems like there is no Wuxia or fantasy genre on that one. Thanks ;)

It's been a few months since I watched this drama and I'm thinking of rewatching because I miss it so much... I can't seem to find a Chinese historical drama like this even tho there are so many out there T-T Are there any similar dramas to The long Ballad? With exciting plot, great relationships, lovely love story and most important awesome fight scenes?

There are actually many historical dramas with good ratings on MDL but a lot of them are Wuxia and I can't seem to get into that genre. I can't take the fighting scenes in those dramas serious. There is too much flying and hovering while they fight... it's more fantasy fights...and I want realistic fighting scenes...

The long Ballad is still the only historical Chinese drama that I really like... want to find more tho :')
