Of course he recognized her 🤣 I don’t understand how this is up for debate? That’s the exact same cute knowing smile that he’s been giving her the whole show? And who would ask a stranger “Do you know who I am?” if there was not some sort of mutual recognition there? 😂 I don’t understand how this can be seen as open????

Yeah I remembered later after this post that it did have one, but it was pretty inconsequential if I had forgotten about it. The ML was the cutest little bean during it.

not really

Around episode 19 I think.

Are they divorced yet?

Yes he trusts her fairly quickly as well. Their romance is the best. There are no major misunderstandings, there’s open and honest communication, LOTS OF SKINSHIP / KISSING, and no major love triangles. ❤️

She relies on SJ to be safe a lot the first part of the show until she gains some powers. She trusts SJ fairly quickly and never betrays him.

I really loved that quote from her grandfather in the first episode: “Water is the softest material in the world. Overcome hardness with softness.” ❤️ Love Manman.

I am glad you liked it!! It’s my favorite Asian show. The only minor complaint I have is just wishing that there was more fighting / war scenes on screen. O well.

Everyone mostly plots against the ML and try to use the FL to harm the ML. There are a lot of villains, but most of them are pretty dumb 😂

Never to our FL 😊 Just against the ML, and only for the first part of the show.

Yeah it totally doesn’t matter. I watched Pillow Book first, actually. You can watch in either order :)

I knooooooowwww lol. And I miss the silver hair 😭

I picked up this show a bit ago and wooooowww. It’s good! I love the FL and feel so bad for the ML being guilted into all of these marriages with scheming women. And goodness, a (smaller) part of me also feels bad for these women having to live in such a cutthroat world. What a good, complex show so far. I am also getting serious Jane Austen vibes, which I also appreciate.

I finished it last night. I was very confused by all of it. It was kind of a mess, to be honest. O well, onto the next show I suppose.

Yeah I mean who can blame them though???? 😂

And the main song, even though slightly overused 😍I rewatch this annually. Still one of the best.

To defeat *smashes pots* the Huuuuuuuuuuuuns

Yea this is historical China???? lol Maybe watch a different genre if you’re looking for a modern brand of feminism?

Pillow Book (or Eternal Love of a Dream) is more of a spinoff to Eternal Love. It focuses on the second leads, but their relationship is very different in the spinoff.
