The young prince...no clue what happened to him after being sent to the northern boarder. Literally never mentioned again. When is mother dies she doesn't call out for him or see him in a vision...just Luo Zhi Zhou. Jun Qi Luo and Xuan Lie's child(ren) that definitely would have been born by they time he got back to her....not one little glimpse or even mention of wanting to see the child or a "hey how did birthing my child go while I was dealing with state affairs?" nothing nada zip zilch. *side-eye....bombastic side-eye* Just a lets discuss their possible future of taking over our positions withing the two kingdoms. I'm sorry...what? Only bright spot to that year later time jump was our little Luo Qi running to get back to his girl.
just 10 minutes into episode 28......spoilers below
Okay so Consort Li is dead...but her SON ISN'T. Why is Luo Zhi Zhou going on a suicide mission when he could rescue the prince and secretly raise him? Teach him how to be a king and usurp his father and brother? They already be faking people's deaths' left and right. Someone go and save that adorable little boy.
Overall, we did get a happy ending, and oh, this could lead us for longing for more, don't you think?
But I have to give some shoutouts:
Hair/Jewelry: The braiders on this drama were all that. I mean to do that hair, I get it. You all worked it out. Nicely done as well as all of the beads, ornaments, the intricacy of each look was exceptional.
Costumes: Can we please talk about those capes for Xuan Lie’s character? He wore those capes, didn’t he. Dude could fall off a cliff and still that cape was on. Every look they gave him was better than the first. JQL, her sisters, the princess and SSM, female general, all their looks were so on point. They slayed each and every outfit.
Martial Arts: Loved watching SSM and her fight scenes. It was awesome to see they let her not need a male to come in to assist her. Girl was bad ass. Xuan Lie, Shao Qi Min, Luo Zhi Zhou along with many others had such amazing fight scenes. Kudos to those who put these scenes together because we know they take a lot of effort.

It has the vibe from 2015 drama scene and I don't hate it. Actually, this is quite fun, not the best writing and acting per say but scenes actually flow with ease. So far(ep10) aside from glorified business acumen/solutions of the female lead , I'm not really irked by the plot, without comparison this drama is enough in its own right.

is this cheap low budget drama or well made one? and is the stories good? i like the double, rise of ning , etc.
Everlasting Longing is like an A-tier production from Tencent. So it's different with S or S+ production like Love Like The Galaxy and Who Rules The World.
Besides desert and wolves CGI, everything is very okay. The actors and actresses are very decent. The costumes are nice and the sets are good.
Blossom (2024) is also A or maybe A+ tier production of Tencent (If you want more comparison). But Blossom looks more expensive than Everlasting Longing because each production team had different approaches to manage the budget. Especially Zeng Qing Jie as Blossom's director has a very well known skills to maximize the budget they had into great executions and beautiful cinematography. He earned those skills because he did many mini dramas with limited budget before but he still can produce expensive results.
TGIF!!!! First of all, if you do not like this drama. Please move on. Why bother being a troll/anti whatever. Why say you do not like it. For what. Yes, we get it. You do not like it. Then, go to another drama. Second, it is drama too. Not, real life, Also, this is a novel. For me, yes, there is some does not make sense and filler episode. However, I still watch it. If I do not like it. Well, there is always FF button too. Therefore, for me it is ok. Not the best but not the worst. Let’s see what happened next and just move on to the next drama. I know there is a lot drama out there in next few months.
Lastly, we need some joys in our life. As what happened so far, with the plane crash. Etc. May they rest in peace. 😢 Especially the younger generations of ice skating community. Let’s enjoy this drama and others dramas. Sometimes, in real life is chaos and sadness. Watching this drama or any dramas give us a happiness in life.
May I just rave for Song Wei Long? I did not know him at all before this series. The guy has everything, the looks,…
You should watch him in A League of Nobleman. He also has awesome chemistry with Jing Boran as a brotherhood like dynamic. You’ll see a more beta character there to his more alpha here, but doesn’t take away his versatile performance.

I will say though that the writing almost seems to have changed hands between 30 and 31. FL just "seems" written different to me.
