Why did the ratings drop? Is the plot not that good? I haven't started watching it yet because I'm waiting for…
Its best to watch dramas for yourself, some of my favourite dramas, Goodbye My Princess, The First Jasmine etc get a lot of hate that it can make you apprehensive to watch a drama but when i sat down and watched it for myself I really loved it!On the flipside dramas that people praise, for example Nirvana in Fire, I struggled to enjoy it. Everyone has their own taste for shows, some people judge a show on how good it is based on how much romance there is, some look to production quality and some people care about plots and characters. Always take any opinions with a grain of salt!
Why have you dropped the series? I'm contemplating watching.
They deffo couldn't make Jamie private school girl now (lol at you adding the apostrophe!!) such a funny show, I watched a whole season in a day with my friend from uni!!

Wow you really must have a love hate relationship with The Long Ballad lol, it does seem quite grand and epic, very different to the kind of dramas that release today. I think if I ever read the manhua it would be after finishing the drama. The only thing making me apprehensive is that part of the reason I watch dramas is to see the female leads in pretty clothes, hairpins and jewellery and the FL mainly dresses like a man (?) majority of the time which isn't that appealing to me, but if the plot is popping I can overlook it.
Yes I actually purchased volume 1 of Otoyometagari recently, I adore the art to pieces. If you like that and Chang Ge Xi you will love the anime Jaadugar A witch in Mongolia (focused on Mongolian tribes, a beautiful, heartbreaking anime) and The Apothecary Diaries. I'll check Emma out.
Legend of Xiao Chuo is based on Khitan tribes which is why I thought you may be interested I've seen only a trailer of it, but the costumes, cinematography and cultural practices are a marvel to look at. Three sisters are married into different kingdoms and are at odds politically.
I think Novoland Eagle flag is a fantasy. Definitely check out the trailer when you have a chance, the budget and grand scale of it blew me away, I plan to watch it soon. Maybe this year?
And don't worry the Long Ballad is deffo on my watchlist, I kind of view it as "essential cdrama costume viewing" sort of like Nirvana in Fire (which I didn't like lol)
are you by any chance talking about a different novel? bcz this drama's OG novel is NOT BL
Actually both you and OP are correct. OP has probably mixed up this drama with a BL novel called 'An Empire as Betrothal Gift', which has a similar plot to Jiang Shan Wei Pin!

I have actually watched a few Austrialian kids shows. I liked h20 just add water, The Sleepover Club, Mortified, Blue water high and the saddle club (sort of) they show a lot of australian shows on UK tv as well! Haha peppa pig 😂😂 yes i remember gruesome kids, I used to find the stories scary!! I'll search up what we do in the shadow, ive never seen it
A weird demure? Like everything was kind of down played and not as "epic" with the bgm, build up, cinematography…
I actually get what you mean. When the epic bgm would play i would be expecting something crazy to happen, but it was much more subtle. I lowkey watched the show just to hear the gorgeous ost
I was thinking of watching it because of WCR and ZLH, but then I saw it only has a 7.4 on MDL, which is pretty…
I think people had very high expectations for this drama especially those who were coming from Pursuit of Jade. Anyways its best to watch a few eps for yourself to see if you like it. Personally the drama is not my taste, but it deffo works for some people
Why have you dropped the series? I'm contemplating watching.
You welcome for the recs! And yes I deffo recommend Joy of Life, I would say keep watching until episode 7 that was when I was hooked! I know its not as flashy as dramas nowadays, but the plot and script is GOOD,and Fan Xian is an incredible character!!! The Eternal Fragrance didn't really interest me, its looks a little tacky, however Ju Jingyi has another drama coming called Let's fight, I watched the trailer, the graphics are gorgeous
