which one is bad? the mgtv or the subscene one?

probably... and now I just realized they are not related. Duke Chang fake surname is Xue, FL's dad name is Xu. Dooh, these Chinese names are so close to each other lol

the synopsis in DC is wrong. DC took it from previous synopsis in MDL. it's already edited since then

you mean it's slow or machine translated?

I found it raw, no English translation. But I google-translated just the end cos I want to know if it's HE, SE, or OE. I'm not interested to read the whole novel (128 chapters) with google translation, lol.

it seems they gave up subbing? I checked time by time no update

where did you find the novel with English translation?

No I don't have any knowledge of Chinese language neither reading history books. All searches are just from internet. I got the info from Wikipedia. But I agree I still think the brothers are somehow not related. Chu Chu is very observant in details ;D

Let's hope that FL’s dead father is not Duke Chang (the late emperor’s son) cos that makes ML and FL related by blood.

No, it's Xiao Heng who is missing. See my reply to rrenaace, the mentor is ML's uncle indirectly. He and ML's mom are cousins.

Oh I did a bit of historical dig, lol... Mr Xue is not one of the brother's real father. His father (Emperor Wuzong) and Princess Xiping's father (Emperor Wenzong) are brothers. So technically they're cousin so it makes sense if he's Jin Yu's mentor. The current emperor is Xuanzong. So it's Wenzong first, then Wuzong, then Xuanzong. Based on history Xuanzong reigned for 16 years, so there is no way Duke Chang (there is Wuzong's last son named Chang) will take over the crown. Xuanzong's successor was not him either ;D

Yes I remember too, but then both Jin Yu and Jin Li refer the Witch Doctor as 'our father'. Not sure that their dad had two women before besides Xiping cos she seems loves him so much. I'm still kinda confused the connection of the elder characters, lol

i don't see any new contender in Ep 17 (Chu He you meant?), but it's funny to see Jin Li princess carries Jin Yu at Ep 20, lol

where did you see the preview?

Oh ok, lol... I don't watch PA because of the ending. That's why watching TLB gave me some scare because I didn't know how the ending was going to be, but I had to watch it when it was currently airing to write this article. I like EN though S2 was badly made due to change of prod company. But I actually skimmed thru the 1118 chapter novel cos I like Mao Ni, the author. I couldn't believe I read that many. But he is one of the best story tellers imo ;D

what are PA and EN?

Yeah you're right... Ep 43-49 will be somewhat spoilery. But I think you should add the military garb costume since Hao Du looks the most handsome there and it won't spoil anything ;D. It won't be too late since it's not publish yet.

Don't feel pressure... your article meant to be simple as it covers one character. Did you also cover Ep 43-49 too? Cos he is totally different there. A lot of smiling that I was like watching a compeletely different Hao Du, lol! I hope you put a picture of him with the military garb, that is the best costume of Hao Du IMO.

Sorry for the long article of the lengthy drama of The Long Ballad... ;D
If we didn't submit it right away, we would've kept adding things in the article...

Have you watched him in Ultimate Note? Totally a different character! Looking forward to see how you wrote about him in your article ;D
