They will prob thing, 'Ah, this was filmed during the ~Covidians!'

Title Noble Aspirations Spoiler
He end up with xue qi
Because she's very dead, he tries everything, everything fails, so he settles.
It was refreshing to me, spending so many years, trying absolutely everything, for nothing to work.
Shows you how precious life is, he learns from that too.
He spent too long fighting his feelings, for nothing, He should have just loved her, sod all else.

It added to the story, that he actually failed.
He failed, at the one thing, one thing he wanted.

The Long Ballad drama series is sooooooo impressively magnificent that I'm compelled to create a MDL account to…
He's also the man behind Legend of Chusen, which is one of my all time favourite Wuxia dramas. I understand why I've loved this drama so much.

Title The Long Ballad Spoiler
As a international fun, don't know much of Chinese culture but just want to ask is it because changga's mother…
Shimin loved her.
She was supposed to marry him, his brother, CG's dad, forced himself on her, when he was drunk or something like that, 'mistook her as his concubine'? err
She had to marry CG's dad because of that.

Shimin still loves her, and so her memorial is impressive.

I know!Fancy that, an actual GOOD MAN.
AS actually reminds me of my first serious boyfriend. We were engaged, and dated from age 15 to 20.
He was a good man, a truly good man.
I messed up in the end, whatever, I digress.

It's 20 years later, I'm 40, and I never met another man like him.
Had I known at the time.....

Chang Ge and Ashile Sun get what we don't get, to be forged in the fires of adversity, extreme adversity. To grow solid through life and death situations.
To learn that there is nobody else like that person.

If you have a good one, don't think all men are like that.
Don't think for a second you'll meet another.

I think maybe that’s one of the reason why I’m so attracted to the drama, there’s truly no bad person here,…
Khan suffers from toxic masculinity. He couldn't just love the man. Everything is just agenda upon agenda.
You can see what you had, when you lost it.
He says himself 'why didn't we just trust each other'.
As a parent, that is his fault.

Yeah.. I don’t see any ge-sun fans downgrading Haoyan. And haoyan fans were also peaceful. Suddenly, since like…
People just cannot believe the CP is so wholesome, from the start.
ML is a GOOD MAN, just a good man nothing more.
It's so ridiculously wholesome, we never see this in dramaland, not without toxic traits.
People are going out of this with new standard in men, like, 'how did we let this other shit fly in the past?'
It's not a game of cat and mouse, but a co-op game, where you need two players.
People are so used to ML's being a certain way.

I felt bad for Sun in the scene but whenever I watch it, I still can't help but laugh cus of everyone's reaction.…
I kind of see Grassland people as Italians lol
They would quarrel openly, loudly, the whole camp would know if a man did something wrong.
Spousal disagreements would be hilarious, from how the women reacted when Mimi beat you-know-who, and the womenfolk were cheering her on.

Sign of high affection really.
Announcing status like that.

So the old man is thinking
'Not only are they like -that, but Tegin Ashile Sun also doesn't care who sees or hears'

To be honest, She knows from her stay with CG and AS. She adamantly protects him because of it, when he first meets the old man.
She's like 'my boss would protect this man, at all costs'

Sun would win if no accident occurs. Point to be noted, even accidents (like She'er stabbing him by a dirty trick)…
I know! So funny! Chang Ge, full of holes!!

I wonder which show has the most comments and what that number is? Or is the Untamed? I loved that show too!
We discussed this as we hit 7k comments.
We have more than 10 miles of peach blossoms, ashes of love etc, other than untamed, some other drama has insane amount of posts.
the Untamed is 17k, we can beat that, as we have another 13 days or so for full subs and we average almost 1k per day now.

Wholesome masculinity, instead of Toxic Masculinity - which we're used to seeing.Dangerous men who have inferiority…
Right, but A'sun understand he has to let her go save the day sometimes, even when her life is at risk.
He will spend the nights lovesick, but knows how to look at the greater good.
He trusts her to live, as well.
It's a big deal for a ML, to trust the FL to stay alive.
It's a partnership.

I'm too emotional right now, I never thought I would watch A'Sun crying, him scolding Changge, his anger, grief,…
Wholesome masculinity, instead of Toxic Masculinity - which we're used to seeing.

Dangerous men who have inferiority complex, bad personality, character traits that should by all rights serve as red flags for future abuse.
C drama tends to try to tame these awful men, I hear in part it's because it's so common with spousal abuse in China.

We have few wholesome masculinity men in this drama, A'sun, General Li Jing, and well, Gongsun Heng has some problematic toxic masculinity traits too actually.

It's so wonderful to have two men so obviously positive, in any drama, movie, whatever media.

Khan really, really loves Sun.
He really does.
He just didn't know what he had in Sun.
As a parent, that is his fault.

Also, he doesn't make mistakes, even when distracted.

Hadou sees useless Shuyu - he loses focus

A'sun sees Sheer aiming for Chang Ge's chest - he catches the arrow

It's just two examples of extreme mental stress, and how they dealt with the split moment.

If Sheer chose to kill Hadou right then, instead of playing with him, he would be dead.
But Sheer struts around like a peacock.

They only say that, because Second Leads don't exist in the Manhua. Some feel they were not necessary for that reason.
But this isn't a romance saga, between two people, it's a personal growth story, masquerading as revenge plot.
We never needed more FL and ML romance.

Although now Hadou isn't so terrible anymore,
he started out as a man no girl or woman should gravitate towards.
It's easier to get behind the second lead coupling now, than before.
It worried many, that so many were attracted to such a dysfunctional man, and the possibility that girls would think it works in real life.
