THIS IS A MUST WATCH!!!
The Long Ballad is a really great drama. The story was great, the casts were great and the music was great everything was just perfect.As for the casts this was my first time watching Dilireba and Liu Yuning but I've watched dramas of Zhao Lusi like The Romance of Tiger and Rose, I Hear You and Oh My Emperor and of Leo Wu like Nirvana in Fire and Whirlwind Girl. So, I know that Lusi is a good actress and Leo Wu too. I was looking forward to Leo Wu in a lead role and indeed he had done a marvellous job. He looked so mature and handsome. Dilraba had done such an impeccable job as Li Changge and I don't know why some people were hating on her saying she was very stiff in portraying her feelings and what else but TBH I think she was just awesome. Every time there was a crying scene with her I did not find anything lacking I even cried a few time though I'm not a senti type person but the feeling were so strong that I can't help but cry. Liu Yuning as Hao Du has done a good job as well. He was really into the role which I liked about him. All the other supporting characters were great as well.
Now for the couples, I didn't have expected that Dilireba and Leo Wu look so adorable and peautiful together. Their chemistry was just so perfect that I didn't even know that Dilireba is older than him. There were not many romantic scenes but they had such a magical chemistry between them that when they were just holding hands or talking I'd start blushing. I just hope they do more dramas together. And as for the HaoYan couple I just want to say they were so cute. There were lots of sweet moments that had me go crazy. And the other couples like Mu Jin and Mimi Gulli, Xu Feng And Luo Shiba they were all so great too. They did such a good job keeping us hyped.
The OSTs were so wonderful Zhou Shen's 'Cocoon' , Zhang Bichen's Song and Sa Dingding's song were all so great. They made the drama much more enjoyable and good. Every time the songs came I would feel like flying. The songs were so good, touching and emotional. The war scenes were also so realistic I was getting goosebumps whenever there were any fight scenes. And the story to comic cartoon transition idea was brilliant it was so unique. Some people think that was to maintain the budget but that's not the whole truth they were saving and using it somewhere else like they used it to train the actors some little techniques of horse riding. We can see that some scenes were done by the actors themselves not by their double. So we should respect the production quality.
Overall the drama is PERFECT!!! I highly recommend it.
