Amazing but Nothing Exceptional
THE Eternal Love. I've tried to watch it before but dropped it multiple times because of how SLOW the start is. The first 10 episodes were a pain to get through. There's a lot of details to understand and people to meet. The relationships between the people might confuse you. After the 10th or 11th episode, everything started to make sense, but the romance was lacking. Then Bai Qian (Yang Mi) is forced to be a mortal, and the story really picks up. Just hold on till then.When Bai Qian turns mortal, her name becomes Susu. Ye Hua (Mark Chao) falls in love with her. Ye Hua and Susu was an amazing, show-stopping, swoon-worthy couple. I was so invested in them. They were the cutest. However, when Susu went to heaven with Ye Hua, she was bullied. Susu was a pure soul, and she really did not deserve to be treated like that. All I could think about was, "if you love me, let me go". She really does leave after becoming blind and giving birth alone. It was really heart-breaking. Ye Hua and Susu have an ill-fated ending, and that was their second lifetime.
Then Susu becomes immortal again and becomes High Goddes Bai Qian, who I did not like as much. She was supposed to be stronger and wiser. Except she wasn't. At the start, she came off as such a boss bitch. She was a queen and put everyone in their place. Her love story with Ye Hua was slow but sizzling. Ye Hua was the best character in this lifetime. Bai Qian was a good character, but I personally felt like she acted stupid in the end. The ending frustrated me, although it was a happy ending. The story felt so dragged, and I was disappointed because the misunderstanding could've easily been solved through proper communication. But alas, it's over, and it was a good plot.
I wished that Ye Hua had more personality, but I still loved his character. Bai Qian got on my nerves at the end, but again I loved Yang Mi. She played the role really well. I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THE SIDE STORIES. I'm elated about the spin-off. Dong Hua and Fengjiu deserve it. THE ACTING AND CHEMISTRY WAS IMPECCABLE FOR THE MAIN AND SIDE COUPLE.
The evil characters were just sub-plots. All of them stood in the way of our main couple and were dumb. No bigger plot drove the story except the romance. This is very unusual writing, especially in a c-drama. There was no major conflict, and it made me go insane because it felt anti-climatic at some points. There were mini-climaxes. I was waiting for the significant climax, which I thought involved Mo Yuan, but he was just another boulder for Ye Huan and Bai Qian. AGAIN, the Mo Yuan plot didn't drive the story. ALSO, most of the Gods and Goddesses were pretty fooking useless. Only Mo Yuan, Dong Hua, Yi Zhen and Ye Hua did stuff. Others just watched. A lot of them were pretty endearing, but I hated the rest. I'm looking at you, the whole of Ye Hua's family. The boy deserved better.
The music matched every scene and brought out all the emotions. The CGI... we don't talk about it. Just pretend it was good. I can't help you with that.
Anyhow, there were some faults with it which is why I believe Eternal Love is not exceptional but it is worth watching.

I'm really irritated that this is plagiarized because it's actually good; here's the tea
It's pretty much common knowledge in China that TangQi, the "author" of the book this drama was based on, plagiarized another novel practically word for word. They just changed the characters' names and some location names. The book they plagiarized from was originally a book about a homosexual couple, which is looked down upon in China, so when outrage and legal drama ensued, guess who had the upper hand? TangQi made a fake account and pretended to be the original author to further lower the original author's reputation by harassing people online. She then taunted the original author by saying she's the one who got her book made into a drama, not her. They're both women btw. Anyways I'm pissed at the studio because they bought the rights to the drama even while the plagiarism scandal was ongoing.Later, TangQi was nominated for the White Lotus Award, an award for plagiarists. Here's the link: https://supchina.com/2017/11/01/literary-award-plagiarists-chinas-latest-society-culture-news/amp/
White Lotus is slang for scheming, backstabbing bitch that acts innocent.
Basically the drama is good, but the book it's based on is 99% the hard work of someone else.

Everyone acting is good in this one, but the actor playing Zhe Yan is my favourite. People would skip the second leads pair parts but I watched it all. It can get boring if you dont like Di Jun and Feng Jiu pair. If you think the story needs more progressing then you can skip their parts.

Amazing
I loved this series, the cast and story line were brilliant and it kept you intrigued. There were some parts were i really wanted to scream, especially at the little fox for being so desperate and at times silly, but her love and determination was amazing, also her aunt at times for being so dumb and not seeing what was right in front of her. I could have done with a different ending though.For me the best scene was the kid, he was so amazing and so cute, the things he would come up with.

there's just something about this one
it's been a few years since I've watched this and I stand by my initial impressions and rating: this kind of role is perfect for yang mi, who admittedly has a limited acting range (though I do enjoy what she does put out). but zhao youting really carried every interaction. the OST is really quite beautiful, as is the overall atmosphere and mood. the story could have been condensed, but overall everything worked well together and it's still a drama where if I hear the opening OST, I'll get chills from the emotions it brings back.Was this review helpful to you?
Though many people want to pan the series because it comes from plagiarized works, I don't think that is fair to the production. The script writers made something wonderful out of a mediocre novel, and that should be appreciated for its own merits. This was a beautiful piece of work and I appreciate the time, talents, and hard work of the production team.

Late to the party but underwhelmed and dragged on too long
I was captivated hearing the OST song randomly recalling my friends were so into this drama a while back. It started out strong and by episode 15 I was scanning past and didn't care for Bai Feng Jiu storyline. Her face looked unnatural, cringe whimpering and comedic storyline.The crying scenes were done nicely but the male leads but at times it was like a competition of who can cry on demand more Bai Qian or Bai Feng Jiu lol. The # of episodes could have been 30-35 max but this drama dragged on so long and the rollercoaster was so predictable, annoying and the music score was good but after hearing it for 10000x bruh if it's 58 episodes you need more than 5 melodramatic crying scene, heart-tugging background music. It got so stale and I had to fast forward to just skip it. Bai Qian's character got hella annoying, in the last final fight how convenient the Emperors were all chilling, Mo Yuan just chilling in a cave. She's just hogging the body with no right seriously. Like how are you so dense?
I didn't like this drama from episode 30 on. If you like repetitive, cringe and drama's where the main leads get annoying it's for you otherwise skip.

I have expected to much but it ends disappointed me
Finished this 58 episodes drama in 3 days. Watching this bcs so many people say this drama it's a masterpiece but I don't think so.Remembering that this drama was released in 2017 so I won't complain about the CGI. Let's talk about the acting first. Yang Mi ofc has done amazing job here. She success portrayed Shi Yin, Su Su, and Bai Qian perfect. Mark Chao have spoken a lot of emotions with his eyes tho.
Okay, so we gonna talking about the story. Actually the story it's pretty good at the beginning about the story between Si Yin and Mo Yuan. But than when come to Su Su part, Ye Hua became a red flag man for me. He hide Su Su and not brave enough to tell about Su Su to his family. She's trying her best to be the perfect wife for Ye Hua. But Ye Hua keep lying to her and hide his true identity. When Su Su asks many time about Ye Hua family, he only said that it's gonna be his business, but than? Su Su got locked up, slandered, even her both eyes taken out. And Ye Hua actually knows the truth that it's only Su Jin's slander but he not spoken the truth and not defended Su Su in front of everyone. Su Su became a jokes and hidden secret. I have more respect for the second prince bcs he can bravely confess his feelings even though his position was revoked.
And turn to Bai Qian story time, I know Ye Hua sacrifice many things for Bai Qian but still he's a red flag. I don't see the romantic relationship between Ye Hua and Bai Qian. There's many time Ye Hua hugged her and kissed her but when Bai Qian pushed him, still he keep doing his act. I mean they're not married yet, but Ye Hua it's looks like a crazy sexual man. I'm mad at Bai Qian too bcs she can't against Ye Hua behavior. She's a goddess but she only show her goddess side to the villain.
Heavenly Lord it's such a jokes. He can't doing anything alone without ask to Dong Hua or Ye Hua. But when come to Su Su problems he only knows trying to drive away Su Su from Ye Hua life's. Su Jin ofc really annoying but actually it's bcs Ye Hua never stop her. Ye Hua only said threat words for her but never really doing something to stop her. After Mo Yuan return, I don't really see what's the point of bringing he back? Just for show how Ye Hua help to awaken Mo Yuan and show how big Ye Hua loves for Bai Qian? or just for to know the truth that Ye Hua it's a Mo Yuan brother?
I feel sad for Bai family bcs when Bai Qian or Feng Jiu doing something silly and dumb their family will be the first who always worry. But they not really trying to understand their family feelings. Zhe Yan and Bai Zhen it's a only loveable part of this drama.

There’s no substance to the story or their characters. I was expecting an amazing love story, so underwhelming. How do they love each other so much when they have barely experienced anything with each other?
I have watched so many dramas and this is one of the worst ones I’ve seen. I have no idea who it’s rated so highly.
