Eternal love was not my first chinese historical drama i watched but it still struck me. The main characters were so well complimented with each other it was endearing to see. What i loved the most about this drama was actually the second lead couple. I will not spoil anything about them but while watching them you will just cry and hope that they end up together. Overall the drama had an amazing storyline that let you begging for more. Also there are so many amazing actors in this drama it is just amazing to see.
I will say the drama is long but you will fly through the episodes really just give this drama a chance and you will start begging for a season 2.

Nice dramaaa
Honestly I love the visuals, effects, and hair style of Yang Mi more than the story itself ahahaha. I mean, the story is good, but then I have watched better dramas or known stories that will rip your heart more so yeah (BL stories). Also, I ship Bai Qian and Mo Yuan more than Ye Hua because I think Mo Yuan is more capable of protecting amd more matured. Plus his personality is cute wahahha. Shy type. (respect)Everyone did a good job though. Love all of them.
Another strong point of this drama is that Side stories dont overcome the main story while at the same time, the side story is anticipating to watch.
Music was very pleasing to the ears.
Totally worth watching.

I have expected to much but it ends disappointed me
Finished this 58 episodes drama in 3 days. Watching this bcs so many people say this drama it's a masterpiece but I don't think so.Remembering that this drama was released in 2017 so I won't complain about the CGI. Let's talk about the acting first. Yang Mi ofc has done amazing job here. She success portrayed Shi Yin, Su Su, and Bai Qian perfect. Mark Chao have spoken a lot of emotions with his eyes tho.
Okay, so we gonna talking about the story. Actually the story it's pretty good at the beginning about the story between Si Yin and Mo Yuan. But than when come to Su Su part, Ye Hua became a red flag man for me. He hide Su Su and not brave enough to tell about Su Su to his family. She's trying her best to be the perfect wife for Ye Hua. But Ye Hua keep lying to her and hide his true identity. When Su Su asks many time about Ye Hua family, he only said that it's gonna be his business, but than? Su Su got locked up, slandered, even her both eyes taken out. And Ye Hua actually knows the truth that it's only Su Jin's slander but he not spoken the truth and not defended Su Su in front of everyone. Su Su became a jokes and hidden secret. I have more respect for the second prince bcs he can bravely confess his feelings even though his position was revoked.
And turn to Bai Qian story time, I know Ye Hua sacrifice many things for Bai Qian but still he's a red flag. I don't see the romantic relationship between Ye Hua and Bai Qian. There's many time Ye Hua hugged her and kissed her but when Bai Qian pushed him, still he keep doing his act. I mean they're not married yet, but Ye Hua it's looks like a crazy sexual man. I'm mad at Bai Qian too bcs she can't against Ye Hua behavior. She's a goddess but she only show her goddess side to the villain.
Heavenly Lord it's such a jokes. He can't doing anything alone without ask to Dong Hua or Ye Hua. But when come to Su Su problems he only knows trying to drive away Su Su from Ye Hua life's. Su Jin ofc really annoying but actually it's bcs Ye Hua never stop her. Ye Hua only said threat words for her but never really doing something to stop her. After Mo Yuan return, I don't really see what's the point of bringing he back? Just for show how Ye Hua help to awaken Mo Yuan and show how big Ye Hua loves for Bai Qian? or just for to know the truth that Ye Hua it's a Mo Yuan brother?
I feel sad for Bai family bcs when Bai Qian or Feng Jiu doing something silly and dumb their family will be the first who always worry. But they not really trying to understand their family feelings. Zhe Yan and Bai Zhen it's a only loveable part of this drama.

It Was A Tough Decision.
*deep sigh* Let me first start off by saying that I had incredibly high hopes for this drama. I started it once before and I put it on pause before I finally decided to sit down and actually finish watching this one. This was a difficult decision for me to make, and I don't doubt that this review is going to be another one of my NOTORIOUSLY long reviews. If you're not a fan of those, I suggest you scroll/click away right now because I have a LOT to say and I'm going to say it! As for everyone else, buckle up!As much as I found myself enjoying this drama, I also found myself unwilling to move forward once I got to the amnesia plot. Typically, I'm not a huge fan of amnesia storylines. However, I thought I could push through with this arc because I was enjoying the drama otherwise. Alas, I was wrong. There's just something about the main character not remembering anything while we, the audience, are privy to every single thing that's happened up until that point that rubs me the wrong way. It feels icky to me, and I don't like it. In fact, it actually fills me with anxiety and I hate feeling that way when it's unintentional. But I digress. I don't like that they dumbed the FL down during this time period though. As a character, she was fine enough but she lacked that intelligence that she had before she lost her memory and that wasn't very enjoyable for me. That was the first pet peeve (or "ick") that hit me like a ton of bricks.
The second pet peeve (or "ick") is a ME problem and I'm completely fine with admitting and accepting that - I don't like the main couple. *runs away* Yes, I know it's sacrilegious to say that because I can see that most fans loved these two, but I'm unfortunately not one of them. I was fine with the FL's relationship with her teacher because I saw their dynamic as most people would see it as a teacher/student, master/disciple/, mentor/mentee relationship. I loved their dynamic, although I never viewed it as romantic. But when his .. reincarnated self (?) was introduced and started sniffing around the FL, I was completely taken out of the story. No offense to the actor, but I felt like he was too old for the FL. I feel like this relationship would have worked FOR ME if they either aged the FL up or aged the ML down. Strangely enough, I don't mind age gaps/age differences in my ships but I definitely minded it in this case and I'm unsure as to why it bothered me so much. I can't put my finger on it. After I've slept on it some more, I'm sure I'll figure it out but that's not going to be any time soon. I couldn't view this ship as a romantic ship with two people who were romantically and sexually attracted to each other because the ML was so much older than her. In my favorite ships, I have to feel some sort of romantic/sexual tension in order to enjoy it. I felt like these two would have been more of the elderly couple, asexual, sexless type had I continued watching it due to the ML's age, which sounds horrible but it's the way I felt. Yes, I'm well aware of the censorship embedded into all C-Dramas, but I'm mainly talking about the fact that there should be the promise of something more, something sexy and seductive, between two characters in order for me to enjoy and root for their love. That promise didn't exist in this plane for this ship. It's like we know we're not going to get anything that raunchy, but I still need to pick up on the tease of something hotter underneath the surface and I didn't get it with these two.
Finally, this is the first time in my entire FANGIRL life that I've said this and I'm shocked by it. I found myself rooting for the FL to get with the SML. I've NEVER been a fangirl who has fallen prey to the second male lead syndrome. Never. This is the first time it's happened to me, and I'm still uncertain on how I feel about that. I LOVED the SML until he screwed up. He was beautiful, he was protective, he went against his abusive father to save her, and he was honest and upfront about his feelings for the FL. But then, That Awful Thing happened and all of my excitement left me. I found myself stuck in a conundrum of sorts because I didn't know how I was going to move forward with this show. I hated the amnesia arc, I was bored by the main couple, and the SML was saddled with That Woman Who Refused to Die/Go Away! So, all of that made for a very interesting recipe for disaster because I wanted to keep going but I knew I had to drop it. That was the last straw for me. I had nothing else keeping me tethered to this show, so here we are.
One last thing before I go: I didn't care for the side couples/characters either. They weren't even enough to keep me interested in this show. I skipped/fast forwarded through all of their scenes. Unfortunately, the side couple's interactions in this drama made me completely remove their spin-off sequel from my watchlist altogether. I know that there's a possibility that I could have enjoyed that drama more than this one, but this one left such a strange and unpleasant taste in my mouth that I wanted to completely cut ties with this verse.
Do I think I'll pick this show back up in the future? Doubtful. Would I recommend it? Yes? It's not that bad honestly, but there's no way I would have been able to enjoy this show had I kept watching it. It's not bad and some people may enjoy it, but I'm not one of them.

Yang Mi was great! Mark Chao was great! I have seen MC in other movies. Oh, my Word he was awesome! This storyline has been what I needed in viewing a romance drama without all the nudity! The passion of a romance was so believable because the actor and actress who play the main lead put their passion into their characters. I love Fantasy, visuals, and music (I have it as my ringtone on my cell)! I have seen this like 10 times. The ending was great! I believe there were not any flaws in this Drama. I recommend everyone to see this. Thank you writers for getting me out of my soap operas in America. It is definitely worth it.
