Eternal Love (2017)

Too Much Angst

Eternal Love is one of the first suggestions for those looking for something similar to Love Between Fairy and Devil. While the two dramas certainly had similar elements, I found Eternal Love to be too dark and depressing. It does have a happy ending (for those that need that reassurance), but at what cost? The characters go through some truly traumatic experiences; the villains are almost mustache twirling obvious; and the pacing of each arc felt drawn out and overwhelming.

While I may not have enjoyed the overall plot (or, at least, the way it is told), the acting and OST are top notch. Yang Mi and Mark Chao had some electric chemistry on screen, and their romantic scenes sizzled. Mark Chao, in general, completely impressed me - he played two very different characters in such an effortless and graceful way. I would say give this drama a chance if it sounds interesting you, but be willing to drop it if it doesn't hit you the right way.

I watched the story of Fengjiu and Dijun first, and found this confusing since there are now two different versions of them now. Dijun is also much colder and I like the other version better. However, I just enjoy watching Yehua chasing Bai Qian and getting his heart broken by her ignorant words more than Fengjiu desperately vying for Dijun’s attention. Her case is so pitiful it’s difficult to watch and feel happy, even though there are funny bits. Yehua is much better, as he is a male. I can’t understand why. Both dramas are great though, and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise. It’s just that Eternal love is funnier when Yehua is chasing Bai Qian, and Eternal Love of Dream is funnier when Dijun is being thick skinned and teasing Fengjiu in ways we could never imagine.

UN POCO DE PACIENCIA Y MUCHA ATENCIÓN PARA APRECIAR TAN BUEN DRAMA

Es un drama INCREíBLE que tiene de todo pero lo mas importante que tienes que considerar si vas a verlo es tener la mente abierta para un género completamente diferente a otros.

El drama está dividido en 3 partes, lo cual ayuda bastante a entender la trama una vez que encuentras el hilo de la historia. Pasé la primera parte sin entender nada solo hasta el final, no estaba aburrida solo muy enredada, pero no quise abandonarlo y fue lo mejor que pude hacer porque la segunda parte tiene una trama mas ligera en la que empiezas a conectar la historia, y después de mucho drama viene la tercera parte la cual se convirtió mi favorita.

Tiene una de mis parejas secundarias favoritas y todos los personajes son buenísimos, los villanos son despreciables, los que eran buenos y terminé odiando y sufriendo por ellos, los heroés están muy bien construidos y los protagonistas son ÉPICOS, su química, su historia, su romance, su desarrollo me dejó muy satisfecha.

Bai Qian se convirtió en una de mis protagonistas favoritas. Amé como la conocemos desde joven y cómo crece a lo largo del drama, podemos ver su lado mas débil y vulnerable que es lo que la impulsó a convertirse en la diosa que es (literalmente).
No sé como pude dudar de que 58 capítulos fueran demasiados porque llegó un momento en el que no quería que se terminara nunca.

Conocer este género con este drama fue lo mejor que pude hacer. En un principio claro que tardé en acostumbrarme a los efectos especiales pero terminé admirando el esfuerzo de la producción del drama y cómo es que el exceso de pantalla verde y CGI no era un impedimento para crear tan increíble drama.

In a Western city down in the Pacific Ocean watching this movie and couple more delights like it, ETERNAL LOVE has to be my ALL TIME - yes -ALL TIME best love drama ever made. Mark Chao and Yang Mi in my very experienced opinion of Western, Bollywood and Asian dramas are the - Scarlett Ohara and Rhett Butler, of Television. This series grabbed me 4 times to watch it and each time I saw different dimensions of love and hate you dont see in the first sitting. If you aren't an EtLove fan then I suggest a review of your standard of series-drama making. Yang Mi is a convincing actress when stressed, determined, stubborn, tenacious, and forthright...Mark Chao as Ye Hua in this was OUTSTANDING, you walk around for a few days seeing his face on every man you see cause he leaves such a big impression, but also the rest of the cast, fully supported the central storyline too who deserved some credits. OVERALL - this is a must see drama for the West, if it can only be distributed here it would rock the West easily....absolutely GREAT DRAMA SERIES!!!

What I liked the most: I LOVE EVERYTHING IN THIS DRAMA. The magical, soothing, brilliant musical repertoire played just with the perfect timing, the characters, the plot, setting, the unpredictable events and the resolution. Wowwwww!!! I can't help but watch this over and over again. This is sooooooooooooooooo good. First time I watched a lengthy show until morning for 3 consecutive days! I got sick ( due to lack of sleep) but was very happy and smiling while waiting to recover. But even after I recovered, I kept going back to Netflix..I play the songs from morning till evening and even at the office. OHHH, myyy... I really can't and don't want to forget this drama.. I guess I'll keep watching this for life.. It's a kind of story I'd consider to be a real classic..something I'd never discard in my memory. this is for me the real eternal drama for all seasons.

Lots of great stuff and one character I could do without

Epic fantasy with lots of action, conflict and slow-burn romance. Great characters to power the 58 episodes....with one notable exception.

I know some people are fans of the hyper cutsey Dilraba, but she plays the same character and it gets on my nerves. This time, her character seems like a bubbly, selfish doll with the mental age of 13 who wants to get their way no matter what damage it does to others. A-Li is far more mature. To me, no one is cute enough to get away with the selfish stuff she does so I started to roll my eyes whenever her character was on screen. Also, she’s so immature, it’s kind of icky when she’s chasing relentlessly after someone who’s got the gravitas of great grandpa. Ick.

Luckily the main romantic conflict works with a couple of the usual misunderstandings and such.

Also, there is the most adorable child in the story which is just too cute for words.

Overall, I enjoyed the story though it feels a bit more by-the-numbers. Aside from the one big fault (that some people actually like), I liked this one a lot.

EVERYTHING about this drama is SOOOOOOO GOOD!! All the actors played their roles perfectly, the plot and storyline  is great!!!! Not to mention, the OSTS are all great as well. I'm in love! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this drama. If you're hesitating because the characters doesn't look appealing or if theres too much episodes, DONT STOP YOURSELF from watching it. Watch it NOW!!!!! If you Like the remake movie, let me tell you this, the DRAMA IS WAYYYYYYY BETTTER. Trust me lol. I can't stress this enough! It's the first drama ever in my life that I love so much. Mark Chao (Yeng Hua) idk if I spelled that right but he's SOOOOOOOO attractive. At first I didn't really think he was good-looking but he won me over after watching the drama! He attractiveness just grows and GROWS!! His love for the MC (female) just makes me want to cry T^T. Its such a sad, happy, and funny drama. All the characters are so awesome. WATCH IIIIIITTTT! lol

This is my first time writing a review so please bear with me.
Eternal love was not my first chinese historical drama i watched but it still struck me. The main characters were so well complimented with each other it was endearing to see. What i loved the most about this drama was actually the second lead couple. I will not spoil anything about them but while watching them you will just cry and hope that they end up together. Overall the drama had an amazing storyline that let you begging for more. Also there are so many amazing actors in this drama it is just amazing to see.

I will say the drama is long but you will fly through the episodes really just give this drama a chance and you will start begging for a season 2.

Nice dramaaa

Honestly I love the visuals, effects, and hair style of Yang Mi more than the story itself ahahaha. I mean, the story is good, but then I have watched better dramas or known stories that will rip your heart more so yeah (BL stories). Also, I ship Bai Qian and Mo Yuan more than Ye Hua because I think Mo Yuan is more capable of protecting amd more matured. Plus his personality is cute wahahha. Shy type. (respect)
Everyone did a good job though. Love all of them.
Another strong point of this drama is that Side stories dont overcome the main story while at the same time, the side story is anticipating to watch.
Music was very pleasing to the ears.
Totally worth watching.
