Should I watch the drama first or the movie? Are they connected in any way?
I've only seen the drama but from what I see looking at the movies page they are not connected, just based on the same novel so you can watch in any order you want or just watch one. Personally I liked the drama a lot and think a movie might not be able to do this story justice with the short duration of 98 minutes. Whatever you decide on prepare tissues. ^^
I'm the type who feels strongly for the characters (being sad and depressed while watching) and also cried a lot, but I enjoyed it. If you don't mind feeling with them, shedding tears and using up your tissue stock I would recommend it. It's really good.
I swear that i just want to beat somebody...Probably myself.Its about 2 months now i haven't watched a Kdrama.…
I started this drama for the same reason (Woo Do Hwan) and I agree that this drama is not a masterpiece and there are things that annoy me as well but the amount of hate it receives is not reasonable. Also Do Hwan does a great job as always and I enjoy the scenes with him a lot.
A few more I can recommend since we seem to have similar taste: - Mad Dog (with Do Hwan) - The Great Seducer (also with him) - Duel (with Yang Se Jong, male lead in My Country)
I haven't heard of that and it's banned in China so the chances are rather 0. Wish there was a season 2 though.
Well I've heard when a Drama like Guardian (with BL/supernatural theme, both are actually forbidden in China) gets popular in China it's something the Chinese government doesn't really like to see so they take it down or ban it before it gets "out of hand". Maybe because they fear that it could start a commotion of some sort. It's not easy to understand when you live in a state ruled by democracy. I'm not judging, I just repeat what I've read/heard online and from a Chinese drama fan.
I would recommend to read the novel if you want more from Guardian. The author (Priest) wrote an extra ending for fans after they complained about the drama ending. It's completely translated to english, you can find it here: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/guardian/
I watched Guardian before The Untamed and felt that both dramas gave me the same vibes. Guardian will always be…
I feel the same way, I wouldn't say I love one more than the other. What I meant is Guardian was literally the first. The first C-Drama with BL theme I ever watched and the first drama I loved that much. ^^
Honestly i think this is much better than the two you watched
I agree with you on the production quality as The Untamed is a web series but what I disliked about Eternal Love had not much to do with production quality. I disliked the writing, the pace of the story and the amount of screen time they spend on characters like Su Jin and Xuan Nu who were probably the most pointless "villains" I've ever seen. I think Bai Qian and Ye Hua's chemistry lacked since she was as cold as ice for most of the time. I only felt chemistry between them during the second arc which was not enough to convince me that their love is eternal. I know my opinion is unpopular and I'm not saying anyone who enjoyed this drama is wrong. I went into it with the expectation of going to like it too but it actually was the opposite. Do you mean Guardian (2018)? That is one of my favorite dramas as well. So we probably have mirror opinions and likings in dramas. xD
I enjoyed this drama from beginning to end. The cast is doing a great job and the story is good. Would recommend this drama and advise to give it a try and decide for yourself if you're gonna like it or not. I started because of my two favorite actors Woo Do Hwan and Yang Se Jong and do not regret this decision at all. Gave it a 10.
Anyway, still waiting for this. ^^
Also Do Hwan does a great job as always and I enjoy the scenes with him a lot.

- Mad Dog (with Do Hwan)
