Firstly, a bazillion thanks to the subber (not mentioning name for copyright shenanigans).
I don't remember the last time a drama made me wanna curse at someone so bad. I am spitting fire after watching the story. Seriously could you be more misogynistic Mr. writer! After 22 episodes of assholery did the dipshit just get a free pass. I have so much hatred for this kinda shows that it's hard to put it in words. I was hoping for a realization followed by a few (if not a truck-load which should be the due) apologies in the last, well at least 5-6 episodes. But instead everything was just hunky-dory at the end. Why is this immense need for togetherness of the diametrically in-your-face-incompatible couples as the conclusion in every Asian show I really fail to understand. I have seen my fair-share of revenge dramas which had successfully infuriated me to my split-ends but this was something else. I can't contain my frustration and my fire-fingers to myself.
Bua was the main reason for watching this. I loved her acting in her previous lakorns. Same goes for this one. In any other alike situation where the needy heroine is all like I'll-love-you-in-spite-of-my-trampled-heart I'd have hated her. But not here. This character came across elegant with all its magnanimous and forgiving traits. Even when she was being clingy she did it with some poise.
I hadn't seen the hero anywhere before. And even if I had I surely have forgotten (I mean not much impressive, yanawotimean!) He's fine looking and all, no doubt on that. But if good looks could sail a ship then Leo had been at the helm and Titanic-The Movie would be a different story. I don't think Pon's a great actor but neither is he as bad as I'd gathered from here-n-there. I mean his acting didn't sore-thumb at me, so I was fine. But the problem was, due to the lack of his proficiency I didn't feel sympathy towards his character and that made me even more angrier at it. After all the whiny-big-baby stunt he pulled everything was peachy in the last minutes. I just couldn't stomach that. Sorry but not sorry for my small revengeful heart.
And again a big thanks to the subber for whom I was able to watch it and then bitch (started off with the intentions to purr though) about it ;) Love ya for this<3
The comments about this show so far has really come off to me as majority don't see YGS as handsome (I could be totally wrong). So am I really dim-sighted or something 'cause I find him colossally handsome and he's my only reason for watching this show or any other starring him! I also think he's a very talented and sincere actor. He pays attention to the littlest details of the characters he takes up. I loved him in all the shows he's worked in thus far.
I had the same problem but I ended up figuring it out and its almost impossible to explain for it to make sense…
O it was way sillier last season. Remember zapping to the future and then hand-holding and running towards the light or whatever. I mean it was not only rushed and stupid but a total lol! I was like what the shit happened! Did they run outta time, idea, budget and everything else!
They filed down a lot of romance in this season. So many things were going about it. The main plot obviously, was supposed to be romance, 'cause "Eternal Love". But then there were all the obstacle tracks like, the scheming concubine, orb obsessed papa Qu and the 1st prince whose story seemed better in this though, but had lesser screen time. That's what I am saying, they crammed up so many sub-plots in a 30 episodes Drama of 36-mins-episode that it undermined the romance and cropped the role-lengths of some original characters. I wanted to see more of Tan'er and Cheng Cheng with their scorching chemistry. Zhao Lin's handsome face, his perfect acting (those tiny expressions like the lil mischievous smiles), his screen-melting chemistry with Liang Jie blotted out everything else going on. I wanted more of that.
The story was well executed. It looked like the writer and the director knew what they were doing. They thought of a story and well-performed it. There were a lot of planning plotting, magic, blah blah, what have you and I just wanted more romance. It was pretty good though. I still prefer the 1st one. I understand that the love-story was already established in the 1st season. Therefore they avoided repeating everything all over again. He made her fall in love with him again but it was not like the previous one. They did not repeat scenes (except flashbacks). They change the course of the whole story and did it properly. Many things were changed. The personalities of the characters were changed. Yi Huai here was more for love. MLC was more restrained unlike the last season's horny Cheng (I leeevd both<3 ). Cheng Cheng had a wise gaze and a naughty smile but was still as horny as before. I understand they didn't show the switch personality thingy to avoid redundancy. I sorta liked what they did with the show but wanted more romance (did I mention already!).
When I first watched Eternal Love, I was just looking for a romance-fantasy Drama. I found this and tried it reluctantly. I knew nobody in this drama then but ended up falling in love with Zhao Lin. That boy got talent that's not just his handsome face. And since then I wait for his next drama all the time. Ergo, will be waiting for s3...

I get it now. At episode 7. But it's still difficult to tell them apart sometimes. And also the mystery of who's she gonna end up with! I love my season 1 Chen Chen and the s2 MLC hasn't completely fallen for her yet. At any rate, Zhao Lin is a treat to watch. So 2 of him is obviously better than 1. haha. The show's keeping it interesting so far. I have high hopes.
I just finished episode 2 and this one's giving me maths anxiety! I can't figure out the variables and constants here. Who the heck's who! Already have 2 MLCs :\
This show was a bit all-over-the-place. It ended with a lot of unanswered questions. I was still trying to keep up because I just love the leads and the second couple was the cold-pack for my sore mind. I'll be looking forward to Kim Kyung Nam's future roles. I saw him in dark, brooding, hot kinda roles, here he is just sooo adorable. I wish he gets all important roles henceforth.
But everything jacked up (as if it already wasn't) at the end with the mother of all confusions and unanswered questions - where's Je Hoon at! They better have a plausible explanation for the stupidly obvious con they pulled on us 'cause I fished online and got nothing. :@
WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME. I 'm mess all over again reading this
IKR! But because I am a complete masochist, I have been re-watching the last part - from the p.s. to the end, everyday since I finished watching. And now I have permanent puffy eyes and sore throat.
Thank you so much for your review i was skeptical whether to watch this or not. Don't want to waste my precious…
You are most welcome. Hope you like it. It's a bit twisted, you see. Not the regular kinda love story. I went in with no expectations (since I have already seen the j-drama) besides watching In Guk and So Min and came out with a full-heart.
