TLB was very addictive and fun to watch, but it's not perfect.

What I loved:
-the fight scenes, especially at the temple, between Sun and Sheer, and ending were well choreographed.
-touching story- I loved Chang Ge's last conversation with Lishimin - I cried lots!
-the cast - I've really enjoyed all the nuance. I've never watched Leo and Dilraba and I was impressed with their acting.
-the character development of She'er, Hao Duo, Leyan

What Could be Improved:
-Sun had very little character development - he was "perfect" from the beginning so the lack of growth was disappointing because even the side characters had shown growth.
-Sun's romantic love for Chang Ge seemed one-sided. Change Ge seemed to like Sun because of guilt (seemed more platonic love than romantic love).
-Chang Ge's grassland arc should be longer to show her strategic worth to the Eagle Division and build camaraderie; instead, the palace politics in the end was too long and didn't make too much sense.
-the makeup: Chang Ge should not have such heavy makeup when she is dressed up as a boy. She's gorgeous dressed as a princess.

What I despised!
-Canaries! They shouldn't have even bothered.

Overall, I would highly recommend TLB. Just remember that it is a drama, so there are some pretty big plot holes to overlook. The acting is very good and there are many touching storylines.
