Actually the lead hero has not shown up yet from where you're at. His spirit is still in that golden lotus. He will officially make an appearance in Episode 8. THAT's when the addiction to this drama really kicks in and you will never go back. There's a reason why so many people are obsessed with it.

I highly recommend Return of the Condor Heroes 1995 version with Louis Koo and Carman Lee. It's the only other C drama series that gave me the same feels as Eternal Love once it ended. Since it's older the special effects and costumes aren't as grand as EL, but the love between the two leads there is pretty much the same as here. Strong female lead and handsome male lead who always had girls flocking to him but he only ever had his heart on her. Trust me you'll love it.
