Eternal Love Episode 8

6/10 Promising.

Yikes! First the fox was giving birth for 10 days. Now just a two day pregnancy is taking 7! These poor celestial ladies. Popping a celestial baby out seems to take for ever . . . .I doubt they get a lengthy conception worthy of such a sacrifice. *giggles*

So I think the translators are messing up which Heavenly Father is which. Because I"m sure it's just being lost in translation. Imagine my surprise that Mo Yuan is the son of the original Heavenly Father. The white haired one. This is still really choppy. Like the snake spirit Si Yin took in. But I'll call her Bai Qian from now on because . . . time jump. Also, speaking of the translating it clearly shows everyone referring to her as a girl not a guy. But no one knows even in the future. So I think they just messed up or thought we'd get confused.

Before the time jump there's a lot to cover. It hit me that the true meat of this story, or what the writer truly wants us to focus on, is going to be further. All of this is a prelude. There's so much info though that the prelude needs a prelude!!!!

There's so many fancy things happening. The wife of the second prince, 7 day labor, gives birth to the Golden Lily. Wow! I thought so, but Mo Yuan still needs to come back. Because even Bai Qian has to realize that what she's doing is not the love of a disciple for a master. Girl has got it bad for Mo Yuan. Which is probably a good thing for both her and Li Jing that he cheated on her. Because that love would have totally stood between them eventually. Because Li Jing was just fooling herself that she was not in love with Mo Yuan. If not, then that is one heck of a type of love.

Because that time jump I was talking about happens 70,000 years later. Bai Qian has stayed in Qing Qio (her land) that whole time. Keeping company with Mo Yuan's corpse. Yeah . . . . there's no way to convince me that she is not in love with him. She's lying to herself.

Another shocking things is there are only 7 days to the Ghost Lord breaking out of the bell. Go Bai Qian for being ready to face him. HOWEVER. They just left that bell in the river???? WTF!!!!!! Why are they treating such destructive weapons so callously????

There's also a glitch about where the fox king went? Was it like his wife said they left and Bai Qian is in charge. Or did he die after getting those herbs to save Bai Qian? Who got a power up from her mother merging essences. This is truly choppy. Are her parents okay? Because I really like them. The arranged marriage Bai Qian had apparently still stands. The second prince comes to finally meet and for a month she puts him off. Of course he falls for the lovely snake spirit that Bai Qian saves. I actually think they're a cute couple, but poor Bai Qian. The guys don't care to try. ^_-

I still feel like there was a better way to do this. Look at all the information that Ice Fantasy had for it's setup, continuing story, and "twists". It was told so fluidly. *sighs* Still I am very intrigued by Eternal Love's story. I hope that it will finally settle down. Soon.

ep 8 spoilers ahead

1.This episode begins with YH's auspicious birth. It also introduces us to Si Jin, who is still a little girl.

2.Meanwhile BQ rescues a young woman who was once a snake but after many years she cultivated and took on a human form. She is being brutalized by some guys. She steps in, rescues her, and gives her the cloud fan, telling her to present it to her brother as proof that she sent her home to serve her (China has to censor it but I am fairly certain that the phoenix and 4th brother are more than just friends; sorry they are always together. always).

3.BQ's parents and Phoenix (he is like a third parent) discover her passed out by MY. her mother laments that her daughter suffers so much. BQ is on the edge of death.

4.Li Jing tries to see Su Yin but is turned away (unsurprisingly) by MY disciples. The disciples vow to come together again if they find their master's body. But no use staying since he is dead.

5.The emperor visits Dijun for advice on how to explain the disappearance of MY's body. Dijun suggests that they record it as follows: that Si Yin and MY have gone into seclusion. This tells the viewer that the historical record is never to be trusted because this is not exactly true (nor is it technically a lie).

6.Bq's mother uses half her cultivation to save her daughter's life (I really like how the fox tribe has such good relationships with their kids. the other tribes...it's just awful. The previous ghost king would kill his kids and the celestial court separates parents from their kids...)

7.Meanwhile, baby FJ is born. Later, BQ does everything she can to avoid meeting 2nd prince. While waiting for her, he falls in love with snake girl (BQ's maidservant). 2nd prince decides to bring his new love home...
