Hope the leads will have interesting characters. I'm here as well after The Story of Kunning Palace

I believe everyone was annoyed because there weren't many episodes left, and given our past experiences with C-dramas, we all feared that the main leads' story wouldn't be sufficiently developed and would be hastily concluded in the last episode with some random love confession the last 30 seconds of the story 😅

In the last few episodes he was like a vodoo doll getting stabbed over and over again 😅

If he didnt died after being sliced like a salame over and over again i never thought he would die because of a small arrow 🤣🤣

Yes both her leaving and coming back was emotional

I must admit, the most emotional scene was XW's reunion with his uncle and cousin at the border. In contrast, the scene where the female lead was running to him, thinking he was dead, didn't stir much emotion in me 🤫

Yes he did manage to appear dead enough after being stabbed by the arrow, so he could collect her confession and use it 😅

She was still deciding what she wanted to do with her life but he was having a tantrum

Yes, in the drama, he was indeed a pitiful. I think if he had a female lead like the one from 'Kunning Palace,' who was a more complex character with shades of grey, he would have been happier. Susu was too black-and-white in her approach. In 'Kunning Palace,' the female lead gave some trust to XW despite her fear of him due to the memories of her first life. Susu, however, never managed to do that.
My issue with the show is that it failed to adequately convey the extent of Susu's trauma caused by TTJ's actions in the future. As a result, I only felt bad for him and not for her. This issue isn't with the character herself I feel the show didn’t effectively convey her point of view, only his

I really liked that character, but the scene felt anticlimactic to me. I didn't feel any emotional impact, just annoyance

Probably yes. Unfortunately it wasnt done well and it feels just like an unnecessary scene

XW! TTJ was so pitiful, still feel bad for him 😅

Dont hate it too much. It was necessary for the FL to have this experience and as well for ML to understand a bit better his own feelings 😉

It would have made more sense if she had shielded the FL with her body or something similar. What she did just didn't make any sense. Even though they tried to explain that she acted out of fear of no longer being useful to the FL, it didn't translate well on screen. It was such a wasted opportunity. If they really wanted to make us cry, they failed; instead, the scene just made us angry because of how stupid it was.

I liked the concept of the show in the first 2 episodes and than with that love spell/not love spell thing everything fell apart. I'm barely hanging on at ep 10. Both ML and 2ML fell in love with her literally out of nowhere, past life or no past life just didn't feel genuine. As for her caring for any of them made a bit more sense because of her loneliness and need of connection. The most interesting female character was the little girl in the past who was there for like 2 minutes. The supernatural element that looked so interesting at the beginning was absent for most of the show. I'm just make myself finish it as i think the worst episodes were from 3 to 9 probably. I feel if i manage to watch those i can even finish the rest. Feel bad to rate it as maybe it wasnt just my cup of tea so i wont rate it at all 😅

Ashina Sun in The Long Ballad 😅

Slow burn romance, she loved somebody else before, the triangle was ok as the main couple wasnt really ready to be together so, at least IMHO it didnt bother me too much (normally i hate triangles). I liked the 2ML, but they were not right for each other at that moment

I'm still hoping they will deliver something satisfactory, probably I'll just come back at the end of episode 38 to cry and complain 😅😅😅😅

If it wasnt slow burn it wouldn't be this good 🙂

That I wrote: the villian is written better than the ML? What does that have to do with what you wrote, and I quote: "a villain is still a villain regardless of if y'all think he's hot or not". 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ still don't get it.
