Eternal Love of Dream

I Highly suggest watching this first instead of EL + Can someone fix Dong Hua Di Jun? Hahaha~!! ♡

Let me start by pointing out the main thing that got me mixed hearted over this drama.

It is better to watch this first instead of going chronological and start things with Eternal Love. As someone who watched EL first then went to this, I find it very frustrating and bothersome that I was left with the scenes in EL and was expecting to get a SEQUEL in continuation on how they present it during EL but instead got a completely different scenes that made me all confused and even disheartened. I actually felt so bored watching the first 20+ Episodes of it solely because of that reason.

Next is I wanna address my Story Highlight Above 'Can someone fix Dong Hua Di Jun'. It was both Positive (In a very adorable Way) and Negative (In more serious sense).

Positive - The moment they went to Fanyiy Village this guy turned into a Adorable-Jealous curve ball who's so in love to Feng Jiu. Those moments of him are actually the turning point of this drama for me. I was like 'Finally things are getting funnier and interesting' in contrast of how serious it was during the first half.

Negative - I don't get how Chonglin was blaming FengJiu for misunderstanding and leaving DHDJ when that guy barely said anything and is always very secretive of every single thing. He act on his own and always act as if nothing is happening. Also, how can you blame a Woman who was left alone during their Wedding Ceremony without any proper explanation? Are they serious?

Oh Well, Moving on... On a brighter side I would love to highlight my hopes, expectations and opinions for this drama that might have help it to be less boring and more interesting. First is Bai Gun Gun's appearance. I felt like they could've atleast let the boy experience some screen time with his parents for like 3-5 episodes and should've cut off some episodes on the earliest episodes of the drama. Second is introducing DHDJ's adorable and In Love pace earlier in the story and Third is following the whole plot laid out on EL cause let's all be honest; Majority of the people most probably came here after watching EL.

Anyways, The drama is still good even with its sudden change of events and scenarios. Truly enjoyed it specially the latter half of the story.

Story - 9.5, This could've been higher only IF they didn't mess it up during the first half of the story and also didn't make FengJiu seemed irresponsible and illogical. Like come on. Those scenes ruined it BAD for me.

Acting/Cast - 10, Acting is really Good however with the Cast... I just felt sad that Bai Zhen and Zhen Yan's actors got replaced. Cause the new one's lacked that chemistry. Also, shoutout to my favorite characters Yan ChiWu and Ye QingTi. I love those men so much. They gave so much flavor to the story and added more spice and excitement throughout their appearances.

Music - 10, I enjoyed it a lot. The BGMs was used on the most proper and fitting places and I just love ballad so much. ♬

Rewatch Value - 9.0, I would still watch it but will definitely skip some scenes during the first 28 episodes of the drama. I don't think I can go over them again after falling asleep several times on my first watch.

Overall - 9.5, This drama just lack a thing or two on the plot and scenes side and that was all due to the Prequel story where they had a completely different way of introduction and character build up. Nonetheless, the rest are either Good and Great for me and that explains my score.

IF you find my review helpful please let me know.

I'm Biased but Oh-Kay

I might be biased but this is the first historical drama that I watched that get me hooked to the historical theme.

I love DD from Mr Pride & Ms Prejudice movie and finally I able to see her again.
I heard that this character is her famous ever played - she even re-enact it during P101.

Back to the drama.

I watched this first before the Parent's story - Eternal Love of Dream/Ten Miles Peach Blossom.
So this review going to contain mainly spoiler and review on this drama solely.
I saw some review that said this drama follow 100% the novel - this make me wanted to read it and I'm not much a reader this days.

NOTE: If you are not into old-young relationship, you have to drop this.
But still, Gao is totally daddy material.

Anyway, I give 9/10 for the story plot mainly because it got draggy on the last few episodes probably just to reach it goal. 10/10 for the acting because all casts are really eye catching and they carry their characters well.

Some stupid decision made by the FL that caused chaos to the ML but that's the whole main point. It funny how when he finally knew love, he kind of get obsessed and addicted to it, I guess that's what happened when you suppressed it for too long (cough). This is a very cute drama to watch. All those plot twists somehow matured up our little Feng Jiu - but it made Dong Hua getting older (facepalm). And I love all the side couples that turned out from this drama. My second favorite character besides the lead and Si Ming is definitely my handsome Chi Wu.

But still, this is definitely worth the watch and rewatch.

Drama start with the introduction of the lead how they get meet with each other ,till they came from the mortal realm that part of the story is similar which we watched in the drama eternal love , I am not getting how he got attracted with her after coming from the mortal realm some situation should be there where both come across alone and they get fall for eachother but the first glance of her make him fall for her ,he started showing interest in her every activites ,he is a god who forgot love how he suddenly fall for her , I thought that after coming from mortal realm he started seeing night mare and he think about the girl so may this connect both of them but he seen dream only once ,my point is that they should show some scenes which make them connected .secondly why Zhong Lin didnot able to recall her that she was fairy maid whom he save two to three time because that fairy maid didn't have the birth mark in her forhead but dengan jiu had this is the reason that he didn't not recall her. Thirdly where the story gone when he told that fox got pregnant in the devil clan where he stuck and fox got hurt.
Then I think they should add one more episode where he met with his child and every character of the drama met with the child then she again get pregnant because she dream about two fox cub and the drama get over with the Lian song marry.
One thing also make me confused that they didn't get marry then how she asked about divorce at last part.
She was so upset from him then to she went to him why ? then why she didn't not trust him when he told her that she matter more than anybody .

I felt like some parts in a drama has not been well synchronised,there is some flaws in the drama ,there is some missing elements.
As a whole I like love story ,their romance and each and every actors acting ,too good ,I like yan chi the most ,cute character.

I just want to say for who not like to watch Chinese drama might be like this drama for sure but I just want to tell you that the first 10 episode it’s not so much interest at all it’s get more interest when they are born as mortal and get more interest when they were fall in the dream this is just a really good drama for me. I can’t count that how many times I watch this drama well done, we’ll play from all of the cast. The first lead female is just so cute and smart. The male lead is so strong and handsome. They are perfect for each other just like angel and God. I hope that’s Chinese could do more drama just like this drama and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom. Dilireba’s acting in here is just excellent I don’t care what people said but I believe with my own eyes. Love to see Vengo Gao and Dilireba in the new drama.

Wow, I started this drama without much expectation. Usually, fantasy dramas are not my type. However, after the first two episodes I just felt in love. It’s a drama that it’s better than expected and better than any other (of the same genre) that I have seen before. The little fox, Bai... she is a wonderful woman. She seems sentimental and weak at the beginning but she demonstrates how strong and powerful she is. She is a woman who loves herself and tries to always take the best decisions. She has a strong personality. The actress (Dilralba) was born to portrait her. She’s like an angel. Vengo Gao, he was also born to portrait him. They are so beautiful together, they have a lot of chemistry. This story is good written, always interesting and looking forward the next episode. It never stayed the same way, there was a lot of plot twists and more that always left me impressed. This drama shows the little fox’s growth into a mature and wonderful woman and more than that ( I won’t say it because you have to see it). This drama made me emotional, make me cry and make me smile countless of times. I will never forget this drama because I learned so many things about life, pain, about moving on and about different things in general. I think this drama is unique and forever be stored in my heart. Lastly, acting and ost are amazingly beautiful. The effects too and the cinematography is out of this world (simply beautiful, perfection). I loved the colors, the locations, the camera shots and everything actually made the drama better. They all did a great job at creating this masterpiece. You won’t regret watching it.

My favourite Chinese drama!

I really really enjoyed this drama. I loved the characters, the plot and the set-up and costumes.

The acting of Dilraba and Vengo Gao was stunning. They both did their characters justice. The other actors and actresses were also good. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Bai Fengjiu and Dong Hua. They are so cute together! I also enjoyed Lian Song and Chen Ling's friendship and romance. They were amazing support characters. The actors also played well in their roles.
I was just really irritated with Ji Heng. She got in between Bai Fengju and Dong Hua at a critical moment. Yan Chi Wu was a cute and comical character. I enjoyed him.

The decor, costumes and overall set-up of the drama was nice and light. It was a lot more light and softer colours than Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. I liked it more. Also, the story of Bai Fengjiu and Dong Hua is closer to the book series than Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. The soundtrack was amazing and I am listening to it now, as I am typing this :)
I would definitely watch this drama again!

If you loved Bai Feng Jiu and Dong Hua Dijun in Eternal Love, you might want to watch this show.

This was the first drama I couldn’t wait for. I watched all the YouTube videos showing the making of. I patiently waited until my streaming service had the English translations ready to go. Then in January, I sat down and began what I hoped was the next EL…..which……..sigh, it wasn’t.

STORY:
Eternal Love of Dream is the love story of two fun characters from Eternal Love adapted from the novel by the same writer as Eternal Love. The problem with this story is Bai Feng Jiu’s and Dong Hua Dijun’s story is pretty much the only interesting storyline in this entire show. One of the beauties of EL is that it had so many fun characters that it wasn’t just about the leads. Other than the character of Chi Wu played very nicely by Wayne Liu, everyone else was just so-so. Okay. I take that back….Zhe Yan and Bai Zhen’s relationship was very nicely defined (more so than EL) and I will admit I didn’t see anything but bromance in EL, but it is very easy to see there is more to those two in ELOD (It was almost as if they said…..What Censors?).

CHARACTERS:
Of course, Bai Feng Jiu and Dong Hua Dijun are so much more interesting in ELOD because they are fleshed out and have lots of good and bad about them. I didn’t appreciate their mortal arc (but it was well thought out). I do love how Bai Feng Jiu is really good at some things like cooking and sword fighting but still childish and immature up until the Aranya arc. Dilraba is probably one of my favorite Chinese actresses if not the very top. The same goes with Vengo Gao’s performance as the cold and aloof Dong Hua Di Jun. He warms up about the same time the Feng Jiu grows up. Their conclusion was quite nicely done.

Wayne Liu played Yan Chi Wu the obnoxious demon prince out to challenge Dong Hua Dijun to several duels all the time because he thinks his true love Ji Heng will marry Dong Hua. By far, Chi Wu is the MOST interesting character in the entire show. Wayne Liu played 15th Disciple in EL but in this, he is WAY more fun (they even explain the likeness which is silly but who cares).

That’s it. Si Ming’s and Feng Jiu’s relationship in EL was more fun. Lian Song and Cheng Yu were more interesting in ELOD but meh…I didn’t even see their story was concluded. Other than the strangely fascinating pair of Bai Zhen and Zhe Yan (by the end….it was obvious), not one of the characters were fun or deliciously evil.

Ji Heng (Angel Liu), well I feel very sad for the actress. Here she bought the rights to ELOD before EL was released. After EL, there was no female that could play Feng Jiu properly other than Dilraba. If Ji Heng was written the way Angel Liu portrayed her, then eeeeek. She would have been better off trying for the Cheng Yu part. From the first moment Ji Heng was introduced, I hated her and didn’t change my mind with her ending either. I don’t think that was because of Angel Liu but how it was written. (Poor Angel Liu)

MUSIC:
The music was nice, but I didn’t download anything. It was very reminiscent of EL. Again….meh.

REWATCH VALUE:
I’ll admit, I went back to watch the beginning parts with Zhe Yan and Bai Zhen (because the end was so blatant) just to see if they were a couple from the beginning……yep. Other than that, I just couldn’t do it. I may go back and re-watch the bird tribe arc with Chi Wu and Feng Jiu. That was just fun all around.

OVERALL:
If you liked EL, you should watch ELOD. If you like Vengo Gao or Dilraba (and I love them both), then watch ELOD. If you like lots of fun characters which makes Wuxia so much fun…..ELOD, not so much. Truth be told, I put ELOD on hold in March and did not pick it back up to complete until August. It didn't capture my heart as well as EL did. BUT! It was worth finishing.

The fate Dong Hua and Feng Jiu deserves!

First time writing a review - ever! I feel so strongly about the 3L3W series.

Similar to TMOPB, ELOD follows the same flow. This is the love story of dong Hua and feng jiu! For their fans from TMOPB, you’re in for a real treat — this show was perfect for me as it gave me the ending TMOPB couldn’t give. It broke my heart in TMPOB to know that dong hua’s name couldn’t be on the stone of fate. I personally felt like they deserved to be together forever. Their story here is entirely different though so no comparisons in that sense.

- feng jiu chasing dong hua / mortal realm (this was my least favourite arc) it was like a repeat of the initial eps in TMOPB where she was all gooey eyed and dong Hua didn’t even notice her. They maintained this for a good 20+ eps I had to fast forward a few parts. This is also the arc where feng jiu goes down to the mortal realm to help dong Hua with his trial. Here, lessons are learnt and feng jiu matured thereafter.

- back in sky heaven (this is where things pick up, yay) every ep from here on was super duper good, dong Hua started to notice feng jiu and he fell in love with her. Finally ice face!!!! I really enjoyed their interactions here including how much she tried avoiding him at the start but it was really refreshing to see this side to the almighty dong hua

- aranya’s dream (this was my FAVOURITE arc) and no I don’t mean Aranya/Shen ye’s love story cos tbh I couldn’t really care about that tragedy. This is the arc where it gets all lovey dovey for our leads, it was so enjoyable watching them lead their happy coupley lives in another universe! I can only go on and on about the episodes in this arc cos there were really too many sweet and key moments here!! Without diving into detail, I’m referring to eps 35, 42, 44, 46 amongst many other eps hehe

Alas, we reach the end and what I really didn’t like was how everything was only resolved in the last episode or so. While they did give us plenty of scenes that allow viewers to envision their lives together, it’s not the same!!! But in hindsight all these fancy schmancy stuff don’t matter cos even at the end and at every battle, dong hua’s love for feng jiu was 100%. And I think that’s the highlight of ELOD - his love towards her. His love is quiet and protective, more often than not, jealous too! His possessiveness wasn’t overbearing and his jealousy I found endearing.

Oh can we get a boo boo for ji heng?! She did not deserve the happiness she got in the end, yan chi wu is too good for her *rolls eyes* I was also cheering when chong lin gave feng jiu a good wake up call - why didn’t you believe him? She claimed to be steadfast and that she wld wait but at the end of it she just believed what she wanted to believe and it lead to even more misunderstands. Oh well, alls well that ends well.

Now, where can I get a lover who would make me a ring from half his heart?!
