Eternal Love (2017)

So beautiful drama .It having so many love stories ,so beautiful pairing as well as so emotional ,touchy and romantic scene .I like the the ghost king more than the first male lead as I watched his "never let you go " drama and I like his acting and the charisma on his face so I wish his love story with the lead actress which eventually is there in starting part of drama and I wished in which he should be pairing with lead actress but his character turned to be a "womanizer" but when he realized his true feelings it become too late for him ..His character did so many bad deeds in starting but at the end he turned to be good person but all his past deeds had to pay and his end had bad ending...Then I like the small love story between the lead characters in mortal life reign then big love story in their immortal life both story has so much emotions and lovely romantic scenes that didn't make the drama boring. Then again there is another love story which has emotion ,love but had sad ending they never came together ,I wait till the last episode to see their (dong hua and fue ji)ending but it come out to be sad ending ...There one small love story where both of them don't able to propose each other because they belongs to different reign but stare towards each other and shows their love so there is again a bad ending .Other supporting characters are so very cool like fourth brother of Qing Qing ,her mentor's brother zhi yan ,then that kid he is so cute and his dialogue delivery so adorable.As a whole I love watching this drama. Too good and too best but two flaws I want to see lead character marriage and Dong Hua's love story should have happy ending.

Pretty much everything's already been said about this drama, so I'll just give a few thoughts.
STORY: Not a 10 because there were a few minor plotholes and I was a little miffed at the conclusions of some of the couples. But it was definitely new and different, and unlike most fantasy dramas completely explained everything viewers needed to know about the world the drama was set in. Characters were fleshed out more than usual, and the leads weren't perfect but they were wonderful anyway.
ACTING: Mark Chao is my new obsession. They need to cast him as Li Shang in Mulan, or I will never forgive Disney. His Ye Hua was cold, courageous, and noble, but also sensitive, understanding, and fair. Yang Mi was spunky without coming off as immature or annoying. And everyone else was simply wonderful.
MUSIC: Downright gorgeous.
REWATCH VALUE: Not a 10 just because it's 58 episodes and I don't think I'd ever be able to manage that more than once without skipping. But it certainly has enough intrigue and story to keep you entertained for more than one viewing.

A-mazing watch ! totally spectacular ! all of the cast were so so so lovable ! They made the best out of such a huge cast and it's no small feat ! you'd love all the good ones and hate all the bad ones , very well executed and everyone lived upto their roles . but kudos to the main leads both Mark Chao and Yang Mi totally slayed their roles <3 Dilraba was the next best thing <3 every episode is full of content , The drama shows all those things you'd exactly want from a wuxia dealing with gods and deities .. Ye-Hua is such a lovable man <3 You'd love every moment of him , you'll laugh and cry with him if you get into it , Bai-Qian Gosh such a brilliant queen she is <3 Such a sassy princess .. You'll like her in every form but Bai qian is just the best it could ever get ! One of the best drama i ever watched :D Feng Jiu and Bai zhen were so lovable :D I'd literally go on speaking days about this drama but .. better for you to watch :D
other characters which i loved to the end were Di Jun , Lian Song , Star lord , Li Jing , Yan Zhi , Mi Gu , A-Li and Zhe-Yan

I couldnt help but need to give review for this fantastic drama. The great drama that i have watch before the sequel Eternal Love of Dream. I like how the soundtrack for this drama could actually bring me to tears. I love the lead couples and the second lead couples (Donghua& Feng jiu) i need to give big thumbs up for them they really bring the character alive. ? You guys should watch this drama!!!

I couldnt move on from this drama for about 2 week which i keep on replay the soundtrack in my phone RIP to my replay button ? i even did a cover song for the soundtrack but decided to delete it cause i sound like a dying frog.

The supporting actor and actress did very well. You cant help but really feel the hatred whenever their scene appear i keep on cursing? but then i realize that wow they really bring out the character alive. Thats whats we called Act. ❤

Too Much Angst

Eternal Love is one of the first suggestions for those looking for something similar to Love Between Fairy and Devil. While the two dramas certainly had similar elements, I found Eternal Love to be too dark and depressing. It does have a happy ending (for those that need that reassurance), but at what cost? The characters go through some truly traumatic experiences; the villains are almost mustache twirling obvious; and the pacing of each arc felt drawn out and overwhelming.

While I may not have enjoyed the overall plot (or, at least, the way it is told), the acting and OST are top notch. Yang Mi and Mark Chao had some electric chemistry on screen, and their romantic scenes sizzled. Mark Chao, in general, completely impressed me - he played two very different characters in such an effortless and graceful way. I would say give this drama a chance if it sounds interesting you, but be willing to drop it if it doesn't hit you the right way.

I watched the story of Fengjiu and Dijun first, and found this confusing since there are now two different versions of them now. Dijun is also much colder and I like the other version better. However, I just enjoy watching Yehua chasing Bai Qian and getting his heart broken by her ignorant words more than Fengjiu desperately vying for Dijun’s attention. Her case is so pitiful it’s difficult to watch and feel happy, even though there are funny bits. Yehua is much better, as he is a male. I can’t understand why. Both dramas are great though, and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise. It’s just that Eternal love is funnier when Yehua is chasing Bai Qian, and Eternal Love of Dream is funnier when Dijun is being thick skinned and teasing Fengjiu in ways we could never imagine.

In a Western city down in the Pacific Ocean watching this movie and couple more delights like it, ETERNAL LOVE has to be my ALL TIME - yes -ALL TIME best love drama ever made. Mark Chao and Yang Mi in my very experienced opinion of Western, Bollywood and Asian dramas are the - Scarlett Ohara and Rhett Butler, of Television. This series grabbed me 4 times to watch it and each time I saw different dimensions of love and hate you dont see in the first sitting. If you aren't an EtLove fan then I suggest a review of your standard of series-drama making. Yang Mi is a convincing actress when stressed, determined, stubborn, tenacious, and forthright...Mark Chao as Ye Hua in this was OUTSTANDING, you walk around for a few days seeing his face on every man you see cause he leaves such a big impression, but also the rest of the cast, fully supported the central storyline too who deserved some credits. OVERALL - this is a must see drama for the West, if it can only be distributed here it would rock the West easily....absolutely GREAT DRAMA SERIES!!!

What I liked the most: I LOVE EVERYTHING IN THIS DRAMA. The magical, soothing, brilliant musical repertoire played just with the perfect timing, the characters, the plot, setting, the unpredictable events and the resolution. Wowwwww!!! I can't help but watch this over and over again. This is sooooooooooooooooo good. First time I watched a lengthy show until morning for 3 consecutive days! I got sick ( due to lack of sleep) but was very happy and smiling while waiting to recover. But even after I recovered, I kept going back to Netflix..I play the songs from morning till evening and even at the office. OHHH, myyy... I really can't and don't want to forget this drama.. I guess I'll keep watching this for life.. It's a kind of story I'd consider to be a real classic..something I'd never discard in my memory. this is for me the real eternal drama for all seasons.

Lots of great stuff and one character I could do without

Epic fantasy with lots of action, conflict and slow-burn romance. Great characters to power the 58 episodes....with one notable exception.

I know some people are fans of the hyper cutsey Dilraba, but she plays the same character and it gets on my nerves. This time, her character seems like a bubbly, selfish doll with the mental age of 13 who wants to get their way no matter what damage it does to others. A-Li is far more mature. To me, no one is cute enough to get away with the selfish stuff she does so I started to roll my eyes whenever her character was on screen. Also, she’s so immature, it’s kind of icky when she’s chasing relentlessly after someone who’s got the gravitas of great grandpa. Ick.

Luckily the main romantic conflict works with a couple of the usual misunderstandings and such.

Also, there is the most adorable child in the story which is just too cute for words.

Overall, I enjoyed the story though it feels a bit more by-the-numbers. Aside from the one big fault (that some people actually like), I liked this one a lot.
