Add to that the ML simped for the FL for 80k years & for the FL, he was like third or fourth on the list of important…
I absolutely loved Love and redemption. Top 5 Cdrama Xianxia/Wuxia. Even liked the FL. Her character in that drama made sense because how she was built and the redemption arc however small in comparison to what ML did, was acceptable. You watched on screen FL desperately trying to be with the ML.
Eternal Love had none of those. Imagine if genders were reversed and ML ditched FL and her child after he gained power to do his own stuff with other women. I was searching for 'Eternal Love' in this drama until the last episode but all we got was a FL that turned into a sad drunk. In fact in this drama even without the ML the story would still be fine. The central story of this drama was never about the love between ML and FL....it was always about FL and her master. They should have named it something else.
Ancient Love poetry was pretty good in dealing with romance. Another one of my favorite.

I understand who the ML is.
ML was pretty much in love with her when he was a sapling for 40k years and another 40k years after his birth. basically for ML, the FL was center of his world. There is no other woman or person ever in his life. he was willing to die for her.
For the FL, she had a lover before the ML. She also has other men in her life who are more important. the ML was more like a sex buddy for her after she ascended. he was also the dude who would do things for her. Apart from that she pretty much had other things to do and other more important men in her life.
She basically dumped him mid way through the drama along with their child and yet the ML was one who knelt for days outside her home. It was hilarious seeing how much the ML loved the only woman in his life, while the FL was like meh..I have other men and you are not that important.
I agree that "all the men in the drama are in love with the FL" aka reverse harem is really annoying. Just like…
This drama is still very good. The main story ark is very intriguing. Ep11 does very little to the main story. It was a filler and hence the disappointment. And the filler is not very imaginative or entertaining either.
Not all with romance tag are bad. I have liked quite a few romances released this year and some even had love triangles. It needs to be done as part of the story and character consistency should not be lost. Neither of those are happening in this drama with the way romance is being shoved in.
Not sure about the writers but my experience with Cdrama romances has been a disappointment. The ML comes across as fake. Just by judging how the writers write ML, I suspect they have little idea about men and may not have any meaningful and genuine interactions with them. Not always the case but that's how it is in majority of dramas.
It is easy to notice this in these dramas. the drama has a lot of perspective of the FL. We get a lot of thoughts of FL being worded out. the ML's in these dramas never have a perspective. Their thoughts are never told to us. We only get a 3rd person telling us about the ML.
Looks like you don’t know your stuff. If you follow Kdrama at all, you’llKnow that those romance,f4 troupe…
did not know that. started watching asian dramas in last couple of years.
Whats f4 troupe?
The problem is not 'this' romance in this 'this' drama. It's like I have seen the same romance in almost every Cdrama and Kdrama. There is nothing different going on. What's worse is that in dramas like these where the story is very good, this crap pretty much stalls and destroys the momentum. the worst part though is characters become inconsistent, especially ML, who seem to forget his goals and dreams.
Uk is not a simp. We watched too much perfect bland MLs. Uk is very refreshing and unique.
All these ML's are unique, then they fall in love and turn into idiots.
Just take this ML in this drama. What is his goal at the start of the drama? Do we even remember it anymore? He is text book definition of simp. Just watch the preview, he is now cleaning FL feet.
Another asian drama withML who turns into a simp. And another asian drama where all the men in the drama are in love with the FL.
Kdramas seems to be picking up the worst of Cdramas and copying them recently.
All this Cdrama shitty stuff is really not necessary in this drama since there is a lot of story to be explored but I guess Simpy ML and super popular FL sells rather than progressing the story.
Episode 11 was all but a filler with multiple men simping after the FL. Literally nothing happens in this episode.
It would be disappointing if this drama turned into a love triangle when it has potential to be so much more.
You make a valid point about FL having friendly feelings for 2ML, yes it is possible & the drama does not confirm either way.
I could very well be wrong but the fact does remain that her own things were more important for her than any perceived feelings or romance or whatever for the FL.

She carried his keepsake for years and she also keeps wishing he recognized her.
It's true that her vengeance was more important for her. Still, the drama confirms to the views in no ambiguous terms that the FL liked the 2ML for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have carried the wooden flute so long and even learn to play it.
On top of that there are number of interactions between FL and 2ML, which you don't see ML having with other girls.
All I am saying is that there is a love triangle, The end game seems to be ML and FL but right now the established feelings are between FL and 2ML. The FL does care for ML a lot and her feelings could change to him but there is no romantic interactions between them like the drama shows between FL and 2ML in the flashbacks.

Well, the drama has shown FL and 2ML loved each other in the flashbacks The drama also shows significant number of interactions between FL and 2ML.
They did have feelings for each other for long time.
The FL is a difficult place but all we are doing is talking about feelings & what is being shown in the drama is a love triangle, even if no dating is happening.
Who ever writes these stories need to go to therapy.
She was everything you want your FL to be.
Even liked the FL. Her character in that drama made sense because how she was built and the redemption arc however small in comparison to what ML did, was acceptable. You watched on screen FL desperately trying to be with the ML.

Damn, those girls beating that pervert is one of the best things in this drama - they were merciless
and
half of Kdrama ML's
In fact watching these fake ML's (not the one in current drama, he is pretty good) is very cringy.
The main story ark is very intriguing.
Ep11 does very little to the main story. It was a filler and hence the disappointment. And the filler is not very imaginative or entertaining either.

ML is all over the place. As of Ep 11, we don't even know what his goal is anymore. It seems to be curling up and lying down thinking about the FL.
Whats f4 troupe?

ML, his dad, his mothers past and his own place in the world.
FL and her revenge, which seems to have gone awry.
The many characters surrounding them.
There is so much story to be told and all get for half of each episode is some high school level romance & finally ep 11 does nothing for the story.
And the romance is just copy of the worst from Cdramas. Nothing imaginative or original. It's like the writers don't even want to try.
Just take this ML in this drama.
What is his goal at the start of the drama? Do we even remember it anymore?
He is text book definition of simp. Just watch the preview, he is now cleaning FL feet.
And another asian drama where all the men in the drama are in love with the FL.
Kdramas seems to be picking up the worst of Cdramas and copying them recently.

Episode 11 was all but a filler with multiple men simping after the FL. Literally nothing happens in this episode.
These 2 pretty much are exact copies from all those dramas.
bit of reflection and growth for the FL. As usual the episode was hilarious.
I could very well be wrong but the fact does remain that her own things were more important for her than any perceived feelings or romance or whatever for the FL.
and she also keeps wishing he recognized her.
It's true that her vengeance was more important for her.
