1.) The issue of So Baek Ho discrediting Kim Mi Gyoeng with rumours to force her out of the company 6 years ago wasn't adequately addressed. This to me was a MASSIVE issue and it is inconceivable to me that any woman would ever forgive someone who did that to her. When Kim Mi Gyeong quizzed So Baek Ho whether he still was the sort of person who would do that (i.e. destroy an innocent person), he said "yes" and admitted he was a "cold" person because he had to fire a lot of people. But there is nothing inheritantly wrong with firing people. It's not a pleasant job, but someone has to do it. BUT the issue here is NOT that. So Baek Ho DIDN'T fire Kim Mi Gyeong 6 years ago, rather the transferred her to another department and spread false rumours about her so she would be persecuted by her work colleagues and then voluntarily quit, which she eventually did. It was an extremely cruel, unprofessional (and probably illegal) act, and any person who would do this is a total piece of shit, and just saying "sorry" doesn't even come close to being enough to earn redemption. If So Baek Ho really is still a person who would behave like that, then my advice to Kim Mi Gyoeng is to run.
2.) Yun Hui Jin was never told that Kim Mi Hyoeng was the woman who's fiancé she was fucking. Discovering that information could have resulted in some interesting and emotionally impactful drama. But rather, the subplot just fizzled out, with Yun Hui Jin escaping condemnation for being a mistress and being deprived of the opportunity to receive forgiveness (from Kim Mi Gyeong who, as we have seen, is happy to forgive pretty much any wrong done against her). This choice by the writers deprived us viewers of an emotionally satisfying conclusion to that subplot.

A mostly fluffy rom-com, but like many Korean dramas I've watched, it started better than it finished. The first few episodes were hilarious, but from then on the humour decreased as the "serious" plot became the focus, and the quality declined (in my judgement). However, I mostly enjoyed the drama, but did find myself skipping some bits in the last few episodes as my interest waned.
There were two things in the drama that I didn't like that I'll put in the spoiler below ...

I disagree. I enjoyed the Korean version more than the Chinese version, even though both were very good (I scored them both 9)

I enjoyed this remake slightly more than the Chinese original, although both were very good. Being shorter, the Korean version didn't have the draggy middle episodes that the Chinese version had. Also, the Korean version didn't have the creepy non-consensual kissing that the Chinese male lead was guilty of.

A well made drama with Park Bo Young showing that she is an exceptional actress. Overall, it was quite a serious drama, touching with some darker themes. It's certainly not a light watch, and wasn't a drama that I could binge. 8.5/10

Just in case you are unaware, there has been an "extended" version released that does not delete Riwon. It's basically the show we should have been given instead of the one we got. It also contains the pool party.

An excellent drama that makes you think about life and death. It is quite emotional in places, especially in the final episodes. I guess it is technically a sad ending, but we've known from the earliest episodes how it was going to end up. It is certainly worth a watch for anyone who enjoys realistic melodramas. Landy Li's acting was phenomenal and I was also very impressed with An He Gui's acting. I thought the ending was also very well done.

I do however have two criticisms - well really two examples of the same criticism. Good writers don't need to bash us viewers over the head with a sledgehammer, when subtlety would have been better. Here are the two examples:

1.) Lin Tuo initially had a hard time at his work place. Better writers could have shown this without turning his boss, Wei Hai Yang into a sociopathic parody of a real person. And the fact that Wei Hai Yang instantly went from an irrational bully with anger issues to Mother Teressa, willing to bend over backwards to help Lin Tuo was not very believable.

2.) Lin Tuo understandably didn't want to cause An Zhi Que to suffer as a result of his disease. But again, better writers could have achieved this without turning Lin Tuo into a cruel, thoughless piece of shit for several episodes. Lin Tuo was a mature, decent young man, and having the writers turn him into a selfish, immature dick was frustrating to watch and inconsistent with who he was as a person.

If there was ever a comment that needed the spoiler box ticked, it is this comment.

Park Bo Young's acting is top notch.

As far as I can tell, the answer is "no", at least in terms of English translations. There are the special chapters available, which I guess is an extension to the original story and not a new novel: https://en.mebmarket.com/index.php?action=book_details&book_id=361337&page_no=1

Is the uncut version on gagaoolala.com?

I've finished it now. If I had to sum it up in a few words, I'd say it was good, but not great. It (mostly) kept my interest, although it is extremely difficult to keep up the momentum of a story when you've got 58 episodes to fill. I say this about most dramas - a shorter, tighter story have been better. 58 episodes is just too many for me. I think it had the potential to be a much better drama than it ended up being - although this is only my opinion, and an MDL score of 8.8 says a lot of people loved this drama a lot.
I haven't watched a lot of Chinese historical/fantasy dramas, but of those I have, I really liked "Blossoms in Adversity" and "The Double", which (again, in my opinion only) were much better than "Eternal Love".

I quite enoyed this take on the time travel / alternative universe trope, although it did leave me with some unanswered questions. I think with dramas like this its best to not over-analyse them.
8.5/10

The TV series does have a happy ending. The ambiguity is in the fact that the ML's face is not shown in the final scene of the series. BUT, there is a post credit scene in the movie version that shows the final scene from the series, and does indeed show the ML's face, clearling up the ambiguity.

No. I suspect it will take quite a while (if ever) for the uncut version to be picked up by any of the unofficial streaming sites. As of right now, the only place to watch it is on the "Lemon" app.

Legally, the only way is through their proprietary "Lemon" app.
Without going into detail, the show makers semi-deleted one of the most popular contestants from the show after episode 2 because they learned that she had previously worked as a cam girl. Many viewers were very annoyed at this decision. Anyway, it appears that they are now releasing a new "uncut" or "extended" version that doesn't have that contestant removed. This version would be much better to watch.
The "unofficial" sites currently only have the cut version.
If I were you, I'd spend a few bucks and watch the uncut version via their app.
Otherwise ... spoiler.

Ye Hau was doing so well until he decided he needed to force a non-consensual kiss on Bai Qian's mouth until she was able to push him away (episode 37). And then again in episode 43 where Ye Hau pins Bai Qian against the wall, kissing her very aggressively (against her will) while also trying to remove her clothing, then she slaps him. AND then in episode 44 he prevented her from leaving by locking the doors, then picked her up and carried her to the bed and proceeded to have his way with her, including stripping her (and himself) naked with his magical powers, so he could have sex with her.
Apparently consent isn't an issue if you really like someone.

I've been binging it and I've now watched 22 episodes. They story is now far more engaging than the early episodes. I'm glad I gave this drama a second chance.

If by "such conditions" you are referring to when I said "because you were rained or snowed on", then you are just wrong. There is no evidence that getting wet increases your risk of catching a virus. I suspect you are conflating getting wet with being exposed to cold conditions (which may or may not involve being wet) for LONG ENOUGH to lower your body temperature, which can potentially (temporarily) weaken your immune system. But that's NOT we see in Asian dramas. We see people who have exposed to rain for sometimes less than a minute getting sick or being told they should go to hospital and have a drip inserted in their arm.
