You have never been deceived have you? Coz if you have you'll know that you'll develop trust issues, have trouble…
There are different levels of deception. Some deception can be understood and forgiven. This is also a fictional story. So, why are you equating it with real life? Sounds childish.
Thank you, Captain Obvious. I wouldn't be thinking it was boring if I loved it.
I am happy that you feel validated by my personal taste. Is everyone supposed to love what you love? Or are people entitled to personal preferences? You sound very young. Go do your homework.
"What is her relationship with her husband and how on earth do you sit aside and allow him to acquire nine concubines and other companions? " Is this a serious question? Joseon had polygamy. The queen was not in a position to tell her husband to be monogamous. One of his duties was to have many wives and to produce as many heirs as possible to ensure a successor. Most non-Christian countries practiced this.

It had a slow start, then it picks up. The best thing imo is the relationship between ML and FL. The political aspect gets watered down a little bit later.

Just a thought, if you liked the Long Ballad, you would probably like The Rebel Princess. It's a better story, has mature actors playing more believable characters, especially the general, enough intrigue and a very well written romance. It has some minuses, but it's overall alright.

*yawn*
"I'm trying to show you that you're being a hypocrite in ignoring all of Changge's growth and sufferings" I can't "ignore" something that isn't there. The most "growth" Changge went through was finding love. She already knew everything at the beginning. Even the sword master she trained with for a whole 5 minutes wasn't anything significant.
Using personal insults to prove a point is a very bad way to argue and it shows you aren't confident in what you're saying. Your incoherent ramblings would hardly strike anybody's nerve.
" It literally sounds like you're writing about something you know nothing about." It must be really hard for you to accept that not everyone likes the same things you do. There are a lot of reviews I disagree with, but I don't go on people's pages and start yelling at them. I get it. You love the Long Ballad. I don't. Move on.
You "explaining" things to me does not make you right, sweety. You are telling me an opinion I disagree with and I will continue disagreeing with. I'll give it to you about the whole revolt thing. The subs were going too fast and the translation wasn't the best, so something might've been lost. The rest of your "explanation" is a lot of self-insertion. You aren't Changge and Ashile Sun is not your boyfriend. Come back to reality. The problem with you fangirls is that you take it as a personal offense when someone criticizes your favorite drama. It just shows a complete lack of maturity and taste for that matter. You aren't going to convince me. And I'm not going to convince you. Keep telling yourself that you are right if that makes you feel good about yourself. I'll just move on with my life. Arguing with you doesn't make me hot or cold. It's just a waste of time at this point.

The fact that Changgee at one point was saved by someone other than Sun does not negate romantic tropes revolving around a male romantic interest saving a female romantic interest.
And there you go not understanding the difference between Leyan and Chyangge. Leyan's character wasn't about action and heroism. It was about overcoming her inhibitions and coming into her own. It was about seeing the bigger picture that there are struggles in the world and actually experiencing them. She changed from a timid girl who cried a lot to someone who stood her ground and understood the duties of a monarch. She didn't need to know how to sword fight.
Consistent interactions between characters does not equal quality. Changge and Sun were the main characters, so the focus would be more on them. But their interactions were dry and uninteresting. Mediocre acting from Dilraba and Leo didn't help their chemistry either.
"Revenge was on her mind throughout the drama." No it wasn't, otherwise it would've been shown through a thought process. She made a big production at the beginning making a blood oath which was quickly forgotten. And, then she spent the majority of the show saving the dynasty. Revenge conveniently resurfaced when it was time to move on.
"Again, either everything was too big for you or you didn't really watch this drama." Keep telling yourself that. You have very low standards if you think that low-quality idol flick is some masterpiece. Do you project like this with every drama you like?

"here were multiple situations where she would have died if not for him." That's called a romance trope. Before their very badly written romance, she almost never needed saving.
"For Changge, it was all about growth, especially mentally and emotionally." Do you understand what growth means? From the beginning, Changge was good at sports and won against men - no growth needed there. She was good at sword fighting - no growth needed there. Apparently she was also a brilliant military strategist when she was working for the governor - no growth needed there. Changge was good at many things and was constantly praised. On top of that, the revenge plot was pretty much forgotten after she escaped and went to Shuo kingdom. From early on she cared about saving the Tang and did mostly everything to save the Tang. Later on towards the end, we were finally reminded that there was a revenge plot just to find out that the emperor uncle didn't kill mom and was actually a pretty good ruler. Then compare Changge's "growth" to Princess Lileyan's growth who survived human trafficking, war, poverty, had to work to make money, lost friends and finally matured from a timid girl to someone who was able to stand up for themselves. I doubt you understand what growth means.
"Again, I question if you actually paid attention to anything in this drama or if the scope of this drama was simply too big for you." Oh please, you sound like a fangirl now. So, the fact that I don't assign some imaginary complexity to poorly written character makes me stupid or something? Get over yourself and watch some more c-drama to find out what character development and complex plot is.
I agree with your review. Many people say that everyone died, but the kid at the end had "Ning" in his name which made it obvious that he was Ruyi's and Ning's son, so they were alive. If Chu Yue was an old woman walking through the field then seeing a vision of them, then suddenly becoming young again while reuniting with them, then I would've believed that she reunited with her friends in death. But I don't think so.
