Long Ballad is a MUST watch
I’m a fan of Dilraba, so I started watching this drama for her although I haven’t been to impressed with her previous work, so I didn’t think anything too big of it. And I am so glad I watched it. I ended up LOVING it. Probably one of her best role yet for me. I’m so proud of her and so happy she took on this role. She really showed her versatile as an actress! Her character is very strong, smart and adapts to situations quickly.As for Leo, I have not seen him in any other drama prior to this and let me tell you, he is AMAZING!!! I’m a huge fan now. I can’t imagine anyone else playing Ashile Sun, he nailed that role so good! He’s going places and will be amazing at whatever role he picks up in the future and I will be there to watch!
The chemistry between Changge and Ashile Sun
is on fire!!! They have a very slow burn romance and not all lovely dovely like the second CP but I think for their journey and story, it’s perfect!! They don’t need to be all lovely dovely. The way they support one another, always there for each other no matter what, and support each other growths, you can just see their amazing romance by their actions, and in my book, that’s good enough for me. It’s such beautiful and amazing relationship.
As for all the other actors and actresses, I felt like everyone did a great job too.
Each characters goes through major character development, and everyone’s journey is different and beautiful to watch.
The OST is very unique and very different from the normal Chinese drama we’re used to but it’s beautiful! I kid you not, I can’t stop listening to it and I get chills hearing some of the background music.
The fight scenes seems very realistic to me and is so amazing to watch. Great choreography, cinematography, and I do enjoy the plot of the story very much.
I must say The Long Ballad is on my top list of favorites Chinese dramas of all time and the top for this year!!! Thank you Dilraba and Leo for this amazing journey, I enjoyed every bit of it and will miss this so much!

This was a great drama to watched. It was about love, friendship, forgiveness, growth, and acceptance. Everyone did a great job! Although at times I did feel like some of the arcs dragged on a bit too much and I wished the FL was better written. But Neo acting as ZYZ was phenomenal. He is so talented, his micro expressions made his character came to life even more. His switch between his “bad” self and his “good” self is so smooth that you have no doubts, that is two different person in the same body. Gives me chills thinking how great of an actor he is!The OST is so addicting. It fits so well in the drama , and gives you all sorts of emotions while watching.
I really like that visualization too.
