Ling Long Lang Xin (2021)

historical-feel-good-rom-com with enough drama

It's been weeks since I finished watching this drama and I must say that I can still remember how everything happened. This is a thumbs up for me, highly recommended. If you like historical-feel-good-rom-com with enough drama, then this is a good one to watch. I sincerely like how the male lead's character, his personality and temperament was not usual to other Chinese Dramas I've watched before. The story line was great, the plot and twist was well executed. Each character's story is connected to each other and was well explained. Although the ending was a bit disappointing, it's still a good drama to watch. All in all this was worth the time and effort to wait for the next episode every week.

P.S
I cried on the last episode and it's not because of the leads.

Strong female protagonist and great acting by both leads. Storyline could have been tighter but it was not too distracting because character development was excellent. I watched this for Gu Jia Cheng (Yan Qing) and was not disappointed. He plays a funny, caring, and warm male lead who is respectful of female lead (Connie Kang) who is also smart, cunning, and matches him wit for wit. This is something you don’t see in many rom-coms, so how refreshing! This could easily have been a 30-episode story to give the leads more (and better) romantic scenes together but either way this drama was very enjoyable. Highly recommended for those looking for more action/adventure story with romantic partners on equal footing.

lighthearted adventure & romance - first few minutes not on viki

I just finished watching this for the second time through, and it's just as fun as I remembered! This is a great adventure romp with a clever, playful, outgoing male lead, and a smart female lead with her own problems to solve. A lot of people seem to be comparing it to The Romance of Hua Rong, but personally I think the show it's more similar to is The Romance Of The Tiger & The Rose: a light action/adventure/romance comedy featuring two canny leads with their own agendas who can each hold their own playing off of each other's schemes and eventually working together as they grow to like and trust each other. If you're looking for a serious drama, this isn't for you; it has its more serious moments, but this is mostly lighthearted. Also probably not for you if you like your MLs silent and brooding or pampered and demanding! Yan Qing is (imo delightfully) upbeat, mischievous, and focused in a way that seems to be rare in c drama male leads. Ling Long, the FL, is a little unconventional herself, being a politically savvy and often colder character, but the two play off each other wonderfully, in my opinion. The ending sets up pretty well for a sequel, and fingers crossed we'll get one!

Just a note - the first five minutes or so of the first episode are cut off on Viki for some reason, so it's better to watch at least the first episode on youtube! The show makes a lot more sense if you get that beginning exposition.

Interesting storyline

I started this drama with less interest, but the story line was very intriguing which made me complete the drama. It had nice plot twists and acting done by both the leads was good!
It would have been better if the writer didn't make the FL push the ML away too much. It had some sweet scenes, in addition to it, the drama consisted some comical scenes.

I really enjoyed the character development throughout the story. The progression of the hate to love relationship was lovely <3

I would recommend watching this drama if you want some light hearted laugh and some critical thinking. ╰(*´︶`*)╯

Feels like there are spoilers, but I try not to spoil at the same time. Read at your own risk.

Once you start, in less than a minute BAM! HELLO! They really made their point straight strong from the beginning hahaha

Love the wolf braids (aka ML), wish he kept it through the whole series. Love that he's always framed as a player, acts like a player but is truly loyal and dedicated to one person only. He follows his heart and is persistent to a bad fault.... he's a total stalker, but if you like the person and/or if you're the main character, apparently it makes it okay.

Ling Long actress did a great job with the duo personality. Refreshing and fun. I believe everyone has a soft, respectful and kind side, as well as a rough, honest and unapologetically judgy side. Doesn't make anyone a bad person, it just means we have depth and reasons of why we are the way we are. Makes us more interesting as individuals.

You Rou's growth and change as a character was the best. From a spoiled, hot headed, entitled brat to learning how to be humble and independent. Too bad she was left behind for the last parts of the story.

Mi Sa..... Good job :D Who ever wrote this character, plus the acting. Amazing job! Ling Long and Mi Sa's character and the actor/actress are top notch! Would be tough to say who wins the cake, so they both have to share it :)

I love this drama

Every thing was just balanced in the drama ,story ,acting ,outscenes ,characters and their acting ,love story , conspiracy, funny scenes . I enjoyed watching ML . I had seen his one of his drama before, it was also a historical drama I forgot the name of the drama in which he had done the role of serious character . But in this drama he had shown all the type of expressions . He did funny scenes ,actually his character was happy go lucky type .Last part of the story was very good when secrets unfold which didn't expect till end . I got sad when her doctor die that part was little emotion . Happy and perfect ending .
I like the drama . At least give a try and atleast watch 10 episodes I am sure you will like the drama . Good thing it has only 24 episodes .

ชอบพล็อตเรื่องนี้ สนุกดี

เห็นมีคนคอมเม้นท์ว่านางเอกเล่นไม่ค่อยดี แต่นี่ไม่รู้สึกอย่างนั้น อาจจะเพราะว่า โฟกัสที่การสืบสวนคดีมากกว่า เนิ้อเรื่องพล็อตเรื่องสนุก แล้วก็แปลกใหม่สำหรับเรา เพราะไม่ค่อยได้ดูแนวนี้เท่าไหร่ เลิฟซีนอาจจะน้อยไปสักนิด แต่การสืบคดีต่าง ๆ น่าสนใจดี ชอบความสัมพันธ์ของนางเอกและพระเอก เป็นความสัมพันธ์ที่ซัพพอร์ตกัน เขากอดกันที เราก็เขินละ 5555555555 แบบฉากหายากในเรื่อง อยากให้ดูจริงๆ

Short and sweet!!

With a total of 24 episodes,this drama is really fun to watch.The plot involves the female protagonist who has to switch between 2 different personalities and the male protagonist who has wolf bloodline running through his veins.
The storyline is good,there are no tense moments.It starts off on a lighter note and progresses till the end as a light hearted drama.There are some funny moments,some cute,sweet and romantic moments,and finally a mystery that is unfolded at the end.
The actors were good especially Jason Gu.Connie Kang was also good in her performance.
The costumes,sets, locations, screenplay were good.
The wolf princess is a good drama though it is a one time watch for me.

Short and Sweet

I chose to watch this because I didn't want to get into another LONG drawn-out drama(s) and was wanting to watch something different. This drama was perfect at 24 episodes! Not too long and not too short. The storyline was nice and different. Although it is historical, this drama is different in that the story does not involving anything with the Imperial Harem nor does it talk much about emperors/empress/imperial drama. I like historical dramas, but glad this drama was focused on something other than imperial drama.

The leads are new faces to me--I haven't seen any of their past works so I was actually very excited to watch this. I am all about seeing new faces and finding new ships.

The drama itself was very funny and cute, although some parts felt a little rush. The female lead's character was started to frustrate me a little bit towards the end due to her inductiveness. If you enjoy seeing male lead chasing after female lead, this is probably the drama for you. Although, I started to feel bad for the male lead a bit, lol. All in all, a good short and sweet drama to watch if you're bored and need something easy to watch.

The Wolf Ate My Plot!

Imagine every possible cliche you can possibly think of in a Chinese historical drama. Add in an unlikeable, overly grumpy FL, now make that unlikeable FL have a split personality that is supposed to be some sort of anamorphic wolf spirit that takes possession of her body when she gets too close to the ML. Does that make the FL any more likeable? I'll let you decide.

Just because she doesn't fit the typical weak, naive, airhead princess trope, doesn't make her any less unpleasant as a character. I can name many FL roles where the character is strong and smart, and was still able to not be a completely unpleasant b**** at the same time.

If every possible Chinese Hanfu costume drama cliche you can think of in one drama sounds appealing to you, or you just want to see a spiteful FL torture the ML character for no reason, when he actually has good intentions and just wants to help everyone, then this kitchen sink drama might be just what you are looking for.

Is her wolf split personality actually a metaphor for PMS?!! That would explain a lot!

They dropped the ball...

Sorry, I don't like this drama. Actors wasn't good Jason Koo over-acting it, Connie Kang is a beautiful girl but that's all, they didn't have chemistry, and the rest of supporting actors did less than good. Jason Koo in Oh! My Emperor didn't do well either, Xiao Zhan took all the credits and a better choice for the main lead instead of him. In the Song of Glory he did little better. This drama story sucks; childish and boring. By ep 6, I was enough watching them.. nothing was good. Looking for better dramas in case.....seriously if I want to waste my precious time.... this drama still didn't make a cut.
