I was SO SO excited for TSOPG - but after several eps (not sure how many) it didn't go so well for me and I dropped it with great disappointment at a lost opportunity.
The Long Ballad is on hold for me.
It has a STELLAR CAST. I didn't realize LYN is in it .. This is pre-AJTL so I was not 'looking out for him' nor had I watched more than 2 eps I think
OMY Allen Feng is in it too - LOVED his role in AJTL
wdym? he abandoned her at her lowest, broke his engagement after her parents passed, The same parents who literally…
ROFL
True ALL
Just that the character casting made him look so PITIABLE and BUG like .. Would one want to waste one's time on a BUG like this? Get hands all yucky slimey? Spend SO much of screen time to 'avenge' a roach like thingy when there are BIGGER culprits to bring too justice and hang gutted on the city walls.
This character is going to be unforgettable in the casting of this actor - his 'get-up' kudos to the costume / hair / makeup creativity - the use of his dialogues and actions to pump up the 'tension' in the Drama
I was dying to know the subtext and all the nuances especially the poetry
It was worth it.
I'll take a month again when I plan to rewatch and pack in a few more Youku Dramas I have collected for a watch
Like SERIOUSLY!!

I AM definitely reopening The Long Ballad
I just wish they had cast a truly 'slimey' looking (less dumb) character ... this one looked SO pitiable and idiotic .. like he had marbles missing
Oh YESSSS!!
That it was .. LOL
That ACTOR was SO good at looking like a damp squib .. playing off of Marquis' sneer Ha Ha Ha Ha ..
Bet the BTS will be hilarious ..
I am sure it felt good for many viewers .. I just felt it was too much time and energy investment ;-p by the characters (screenwriter)
:-)

But yes I get your point too :-D
Yeah that's an accurate description.

By Ep 37 almost the entire ensemble cast is waiting to nuke him ..
He's carried off that mangled, crippled, misshapen psyche role to perfection
;-p
He's a superb actor .. I LOVE that the drama juxtaposed this contrast between his looks and actions ..
Just like how there is a vengeful ruthless side to our beautiful Marquis which makes the drama spicey
I bow to that totally Ha ha ha ..
I want to see this actor in a 'non-monster' role ..
He is BRILLIANt and delivers to the T
