Title The Long Ballad Spoiler
Is it really difficult to understand? I'm curious?Not trying to be rude, really.Last time A'sun wears Tegin clothes,…
That is part of the Khatun battle arc, he can't actually take his Tegin outfit off, on the way to getting to Chang Ge, as she's in the burning building.
She'er is part of Khatun's army, before he and Sun have another heart to heart.
Upon engaging against Khatun, after being freed from prison, he puts it on and doesn't take it off, until Khatun is dead.
Because he's Tegin of the Eagles.

However, the final panel is later, days, weeks, months, not shot just after Khatun's fall arc, so he's wearing Tegin outfit with purpose.

Title The Long Ballad Spoiler
I'm so daft.The ending scene with Tegin, Ashile Sun and adventurous Chang Ge, and the eagle flying in-between…
People think its an 'open ending'
As in, we don't know what happens.
Chang Ge is in Canada, some where, A'sun in Grasslands.

The last scene, the very last one, is supposed to play out like the page of a comic book, in comic panels.
A'sun is in one panel, Chang Ge the nest, the eagle is flying between the panels.
We're supposed to put two and two together, they're in the same place, obviously still a couple, but in different comic panels.
She turns into comic book Chang Ge, in her final screen.

It's not artsy, weird open ending, it's supposed to fit into comic narrative. that's all.

Flipping eck lords and ladies!I made a break-through over the ending.I feel stupid now.
I'm so daft.

The ending scene with Tegin, Ashile Sun and adventurous Chang Ge,
and the eagle flying in-between them.

It's comic book panels.
They are comic book panels.

Tegin Ashile Sun

Eagle flying between panels

Then is the panel with Cang Ge

ON THE SAME PAGE

The dead give away, is ow she turns into comic Chang Ge, at the final moment.

Shtap is guys!
This doesn't have an open ending, it's filmed as comic book panels.
You're also supposed to give the gray matter some gymnastics.

I really enjoyed this drama a lot! The acting was great and it didn't drag at all. I wish we could of had a happier…
It's not an open ending.

It just shows you, Chang Ge didn't become a pregnant little ouse wife, barefoot at the stove, cooking lamb dinner.
She's still same old Chang Ge,
A'sun is Tegin again.
Sun likes to send his eagle to keep track of is woman, as she likes trouble.
He's close enough to go help her out, should she actually need it.

She's dressed in travel clothing, and she's looking towards the horizon, adventure waiting? sheep? the Eagle Division camp?
He calls her a wild horse, so he lets her roam, because he loves her.

I mean.

I know all we get is a shot of A'sun spying on Chang Ge, with an eagle, all in the Grasslands. But you have to look at their clothing for clues, location and what they promised each other.
He's in one comic frame, she's just in the one below him.
It's a comic frame POV.
The eagle is flying between the frames, of the comic book scene.

His clothing means Tegin, Ashile Sun.

Her clothing means, she's off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz!

or something

I feel like in the second half of the show Chang ge changed. Okay I get it she needed change but i kinda wish…
It hurt her plenty, she was driven by adrenaline.
She studied the art of war, she knows if the general leading goes down, you lose the battle,as morale goes down.
She stood up again,by sheer will, and body chemicals, which are known to sometimes enable people to lift cars and much heavier, crazier things.

What are the symptoms of an adrenaline rush?
rapid heart rate.
sweating.
heightened senses.
rapid breathing.
decreased ability to feel pain.
increased strength and performance.
dilated pupils.
feeling jittery or nervous.

In the second half, she's not under siege, in control of an army, and responsible for the lives of an entire city.

Second time she's shot, she doesn't really want to live.

She just wants A'sun and the Eagles to be safe.

Getting certain people killed, she had to find her Tao.
Her Tao was 'path of least resistance', don't force anything.

She stops forcing her path, and people stop dying like flies around her.
She grows as a person, as she figures out,
revenge is a path lined with bodies,
bodies of those you care about.
Khatun proves this perfectly.

Game of Thrones has a parallel, Daenarys becomes her enemy and instead dies horribly.
If Chang Ge became her enemy, she would have died at the end.
The story progression allowed for a happy ending, due to growth.

If she never messes up, she'd be too perfect, and considered a Mary Sue character.She has well planned weaknesses,…
The only other drama I ever rewatech like crazy, was Buffy.
I'm beginning to see similarities in writing and direction here.

Title The Long Ballad Spoiler
He vows to her mother's spirit tablet, to Chang Ge herself, to protect her from all harm.He asks CG, to PLEASE…
When he flies off, that's the General making split second decisions, not A'sun.
As a general, he has to put EVERYTHING aside, no matter the horror, and perform until everything is dead.

To then walk back into a scene, that he didn't get to process, to then begin to process it, at a deficit, as the others have had time to get used to this reality already.
Facts remain, he should have taken Shimin's first deal, and stayed with CG in Chang'an? Even this close, as he was, he couldn't stop that one arrow that would have taken her life.

There must be a terrifying triade going on in is mind, a display of possible horrific outcomes, and self flagellation.
The woman that's most important to Mujin, Chang Ge and She'er died, and he couldn't stop it, crisis of self right there.
He knows precisely who Mimi is to She'er. We know Sun and She'er's relationship is profound in ways they don't easily display.

Sometimes the proud type, the type that is confident in his skills, questions if they should even be touching the woman at this point.
She clings to him however, he is still her grounding center, she still trusts him, she trusts him to be that man, who carries the burden.

I finally finished this masterpiece! I really enjoyed watching the character development for most of the characters…
Mimi lived a short life in the Manhua, because she couldn't live with herself. She died already few pages after introduction.

A Girl Like Me, after a short bout of trope.

I am irritated a bit w the ending.... was it too damn hard to end it with changge & a'sun in one frame?!!!
They will have been worried, it would have seemed like too much ordinary couple, to do that. They wanted to stress, that neither has changed, they're mated for life, but they don't need to be up in each other's business all the time.
A'sun has said before, she has to cut out her own life here.
He will always give her space.

Shimin's plan. He gave A'sun certain options, how he could end up with Chang Ge.It's between the lines.'You're…
I only realised after he met wit Shimin, and Shimin presenting different ways he'd let Sun be with CG.

Shimin says;
'what can you offer/give to my niece?'

'Here are scrolls, her identity and yours, live in Chang'an, strip the Ashile name.'

Another is to risk his life, betting they can position him and themselves close to Khatun, and win against her.
He goes to see Li Jing, and the plan formulates more.

Finally finished this drama though I feel like the last episode is kinda meh especially that fire scene. I know…
If she never messes up, she'd be too perfect, and considered a Mary Sue character.
She has well planned weaknesses, which she TRIES to iron out somewhat, but she's never Mary Sue, genius in all fields.

She's really good at some things, rubbish at others.
She's my favourite heroine, after Buffy Summers.
Buffy can beat back the armies of hell, regularly, but she can't manage her private life for sh#t.
I like the character flaws, especially those pertaining to ORDINARY things.
Can hero, can't human, at all.

I remember someone once post explaining about the ending. Could anyone help me? I can't found it too many comments…
Is it really difficult to understand? I'm curious?
Not trying to be rude, really.

Last time A'sun wears Tegin clothes, is when he dissolves the Eagles, after Chang Ge wipes out the Bear division.
No Tegin, no outfit of the Tegin.

He then puts it on , to lead Eagles again, against Khatun.

He again wears it, in the final seconds of the drama, indicating he is Tegin, or a Khan.
We know Chang Ge and A'sun no longer want to plunder cities to survive, but to raise animals, farm the land etc, they will only fight for just cause.

In real history, part of Khaganate started to settle down, stopped living as nomads, during this era.
This scene strongly indicates, A'sun is still himself, Chang Ge is still herself, just how they live has changed.
They now live in rhythm with each other.

Both Chang Ge and A'sun are in the Grasslands, he sends his eagle out, to keep track of CG, as she always gets into trouble.
He calls her his wild horse, and he lets her run as freely as she wishes.
She's wearing a mix of her travelling and farming attire.
She gazes into the horizon, at something we don't know,
but she's dressed to explore?
Patrolling?
Adventure?

A'sun is close at hand,
Always close enough,
but not so close she can't breathe.

Y’all why the hell was A’Sun locked up for like 5 episodes til the finale?!? Like yes, he’s still fine as…
Shimin's plan.
He gave A'sun certain options, how he could end up with Chang Ge.
It's between the lines.

'You're willing to risk your life for her?'

'It's what I want.'

It's about timing, cornering Khatun,
having A'sun positioned,
Eagles,
Tang,
Khatun thinking she's winning.

He's risking execution, choosing that option.
He could've just gone against CG's wishes, and taken a Tang identity and lived in Chang'an with CG, forever. But he said;
'She has already eliminated that option'

Shimin did a dirty, although the crazy kids would've helped to take down Khatun anyway.
Shimin forced it.
