I'm confused.. I'm on episode 5 but I've been doing work at the same time - should have concentrated properly. I don't have a clue what's going on. Would anyone mind getting me up to speed to I don't have to rewatch from the beginning?

Does Guo Xiao Tian remind anyone else of Joseph Gordon Levitt?

sim, às vezes eu fico sobrecarregado.

Thoughts after watching episode one:
- Love the cast, this is a good role for Dilraba, Acting is good so far.
- Although this is big budget, after watching LLTG and other 2022 dramas, it's noticeable how far C-drama has come in the last 12-24 months. The costumes and sets are beautiful but the colour grading is a little washed out and the dubbing is not as crisp as some, only in a few places though. Very watchable, just an observation.
- Lots of action, loved the football game. C-dramas have this sneaky trick of stuffing a bunch of exciting action in the first 5/6 episodes to get you hooked, then slowing the story right down. I hope they don't do that here and make it draggy.
- I don't find the age difference between to two leads very noticeable, or a problem.

So I'm finally watching The Long Ballad... I'm going to add my thoughts about episode one and then again after I've finished watching it.

poor thing! I think I ended up not watching it last time after I read the tags (s abuse/torture) that put me off. But maybe it's not that bad if it's rated 13+? I did end up watching LLTG and LOVED IT! A Dream of Splendor has been started and The Long Ballad is to be watched...

I've read that it's now having a season 2 - do season one conclude or does it have an open ending?

When does Liang Yi find out it was Qui Yan and not Qui Min that he saved?

I have seen it but I love it. You have great taste... maybe I'll rewatch. I love LLTG but I'm so sensitive I need breaks from the stress 😆

I think I need to watch something light and funny to break up all these intense episodes.

I've been wanting to watch this for a while but I've been put off by what I've heard about the ending. I hate disappointing endings. Is it still worth watching?

Does anyone have any recommendations for variety shows to watch that have full episodes with english subs?

Thanks for the recommendations. Is Love & Redemption sad? I'm just not in the mood for tragedy at the moment. Too emotional 😆

I'm waiting until part 2 has aired then I definitely want to watch it :)

Ended up really enjoying this. No drama is ever perfect but overall it has good acting, is beautifully shot and I liked the action. Does anyone have any recommendations as what I should watch next?

Do you remember what episodes they are and are they skippable?

Can anyone tell me what episodes are the alternative timeline is and can I skip them if my attention span is too short for 56 episodes?

where did you manage to watch 28 and 29? I've only seen to 27.

I have a theory that they will make the 2ML so evil that the ML looks good. Just a guess, not read the book but it seems like the only way to make him palatable.

Finding it really hard to like the ML, he's such a *swear word* and seems like a misogynist. Will be interesting to see how they turn him around.
