Ok firstly, this may be wrong as I'm still near the start of The Long Ballad bUT-
I feel like The Long Ballad focuses a lot more on like revenge and the activities rather than romance itself, which reminds me The Handsome Siblings drama. Both dramas focus more on like revenge for example, tho romance is a little more towards the side?

So if you like there being more action and stuff and less fluff romance then woohoo (?)
Either way, love both dramas!

-Strong FLs in terms of mentality (FL in TLB can also fight)
-strong focus on scheming
-some focus on revenge for TLB, while The Double is pretty much all revenge
-hidden coup

There are many identifiable similarities, but I feel like the overall vibe of both dramas are quite similar. If you're especially looking for strong FLs who can scheme, both dramas are great.

Both dramas:
- Wuxia genre
- FL cross dresses
- Hidden identity
- revenge
- cute romance and chemistry between main leads
- Fantasy, royalty, scheming, fight scenes, and strong female lead.

Overall, its an exciting and emotional drama to watch with beautiful scenery following a strong female lead on her quest to fight for what is rightfully hers

Basically if you enjoyed the tribal grasslands/prairie culture of Eagle Flag, and you didn't particularly care for all the supernatural aspects, you'll enjoy the Long Ballad.

A lot of it is set in the Ashine tribe, and the male lead is a warrior/general of that tribe, the foster son of the Khan. As a story goes, it's much more linear and has a pretty satisfying (if abrupt) conclusion.

Oh, I'll admit it - I'm mainly here for the braided tribal hair on the men, ok? While with Eagle Flag it was just Asule and not all the time, in LB it's Ashine Sun (ML), his men, everyone.

This is similar in terms of the FL dressing up as a man to discover the truth about the massacre of her family. The FL is also smart like Wen Xi. The cast are all goodlooking as well

Historical, strong female lead, war drama. I believe that those who watch The Long Ballad will also like Brocade Odyssey.

Both are historical with characters growing up throughout their respective series. Lots of twists and turns, and characters that subvert expectations. Both include a romance in which the female lead makes the unexpected choice for who she ends up with. I would highly recommend both series!

Clever Female lead
Give same kind of feel
Even the names are similar
But I liked The Long Ballad just a bit better than The Autumn Ballad (because of the ending)
