Eternal Love Episode 3

4/10 Things are getting better now that I have a sense of the world and order.

First up! What is with those wine goblets in the Ghost Realm? Hmmmm. What is that leg? I think maybe a bird of prey. Though I'd be tickled if it was a chicken leg!!!!!!

This whole episode everyone has forgotten about the "only" woman allowed on Kunlun Mountain. Si Yin's cousin. Even Si Yin brother showed up and now one talked about the poor sister hiding from a terrifying forced marriage? Yikes.

That said the plot is clicking into place. I see away for Li Jing to take up the place of Ghost Lord and eventually get his lady as I believe Si Yin will have to become Bai Qian for an arranged marriage.

Another thing I'm seeing with Chinese dramas. Feels like a gender bender is always thrust in. The big thing is for a sister to fall in love with the "dude", but one of her brother's knows it's a woman and he's in love. We've got confirmation, heart felt confessions, and proposal here! Wow. I'll give it to Li Jing. He wastes no time and you got a love a man who knows his heart. (Side though: How many wives does he have? Those women aren't concubines/hookups?)

At this point the story is getting better as I'm putting all the people, world, and hierarchy together. Though I think if you don't read or watch a lot of epic fantasy you're still gonna have one heck of a time figuring it out at this point. There's still some really out there things. Like the golden lily manifesting a ghost body. Clearly that's gonna be something important. That we have no information on except for it getting a body.

I'm left to believe that Si Yin hasn't been taking studies for 20,000 years properly as she failed her godly ascension. Which is annoying to me. Also, makes me wonder why Master is treating her this way. I feel like it should be fatherly love. But I'm getting seriously romantic vibes. Serious. Romantic. Vibes.

Again awesome fight scenes here. There's some already tied up romances and clearly there's going to be more as the cast expands. Overall the setup is finally starting to move forward better.
