Story/Plot: The flow of the story, in the beginning, was boring. But it was a necessary foundation to create character backgrounds. So don't give up on it. After maybe 6 episodes, everything started to kick in and heaps of anticipations followed. It didn't revolve around one main pairing but rather a lot of other love lines within the drama. Which was very nice and you obviously get the happy endings and the not-so-happy endings.
It's a fantasy drama. Beautiful CG, I lose track of the subtitles after staring at the beautiful scenes (Same director as love O2O btw). Magically. Lots of hand flicking. And clothes disappearing :winks:
Acting/Cast: So the description did say the love is throughout 3 lives so they had to act out different personalities. Yang Mi in my opinion, did extremely well portraying an innocent little fella, a pure-hearted mortal girl and a fierce, well-respected Goddess. Though some of her intimate scenes were awkward and forceful. Mark also portrayed different roles but their personalities were pretty similar so I couldn't see his different sides. But he's a hell of a good kisser ;) :winks:
Music: Songs were specifically written for the drama so you get the chance, read the translation. It's so relevant to the story and literally every time you listen, parts of the drama follow and you'll crave to rewatch the whole thing all over again.
Rewatch?: Heck yeah. But probably going to skip irrelevant stuff.
Overall: Mainland dramas are sometimes very annoying because they include a lot of unnecessary talking and fighting scenes. I skipped a lot but it didn't seem to affect my overall experience with the drama. I'm also annoyed at how they keep using the same female voice actor for most of their dramas. It somewhat hindered me from feeling the acting and emotions from the actors/actresses.

caution!! do not read my review if you don't like spoiler. I know that it's prohibited to write spoiler, but i love spoiler so much that i think i still have to write it here, especially for this amazing drama.Once i finished this drama, i know that i wouldn't get another amazing drama like this for maybe next one year or two. This is like once in a year amazing drama, such a masterpiece!! The cast, the story it's just amazing.. I've only watched it subbed until ep 50 and ep 51-58 i have to watch it raw, but really i can't wait till it's sub and will just rewatch it. The chemistry between the main couple is so amazing. The scenery was breathtaking and the story is wonderful. I know it has so many episodes and that is the only reason for me to not rewatch this drama. But i've rewatched it a few times already (of course not the whole 1-58 episodes; but only a few scenes that i like) and that means this drama still have a high rewatch value.
This is a sad drama with a happy ending. It's sad yet beautiful. And the ost is just sad yet wonderful. Combine all the story, the cast, the song, the scenery, the chemistry... this drama become a complete beautiful package that i'll always remember. There is no other words to describe this drama other that amazing. I know i've written word 'amazing' for many times already, but that's just because it is a perfect one word to describe this drama. I can't wait to watch the movie.
So here's the quick story
1st lifetime:
Siyin and egg lotus
In this lifetime yehua (our male main lead) wasn't born yet and just in a form of lotus spirit. Siyin who is actually Baiqian go to kunlun mountain and disguise as a boy so that she can be a student of Moyuan. In the battle of ghost tribe and celestial tribe moyuan died and yehua born as the celestial crown prince
2nd lifetime:
Yehua and susu
70.000 years later Baiqian to reseal the ghost king become a mortal and forget who she was. It is the time when she first met Yehua and fell in love. They married in a mortal realm and have a son. Unfortunately, their happy life not go on for long as Sujin (yehua's consort) know about it and brought susu to celestial kingdom. In there, yehua had to pretend not to like susu so that susu can be saved. But Susu didn't realize about that and suffered so much. Because of that Susu left Yehua and their son.
3rd lifetime:
Yehua and Baiqian
in this lifetime Baiqian back to become Susu and chose to forget about her life as Susu. So she drank the potion from Zheyan to forget about that part of her life. She eventually forget, but Yehua wasn't. The first time they met, Yehua knew that She was his Susu. Although for a little while he doubted it, but eventually he was sure and never doubted again that Baiqian was Susu. So he pursued Baiqian. There was just so many sadness in his pursuit. We could see how much he love Baiqian but Baiqian just wouldn't realize it. Really, the chemistry was overflowing.
Thankfully after all that sadness, we have a truly happy ending. Not like another chinese drama. These days it's really hard to get a wonderful chinese drama (especially wuxia or xianxia) with a happy ending. And i really satisfied with this drama. Favourite!!

The cast is just amazing and beautiful. They are doing a very good job for now.
I think the viewers are most attracted to the story even if it was plagiarized which is regretful...
However the story is as well heartbreaking and sweet.
If somebody is currently in a slump then WATCH THIS DRAMA !
Just watch the trailer and it will convince you to watch this masterpiece.

I rarely watch Chinese dramas, but when I do they blow me away! I watched Niravana on Fire and had little expectation that this would be in par with it. Eternal love surpassed all my expectations. Ye Hua, Ye Hua.. Ye Hua he is the character of my dreams! Mark Chao made the magical drama, more magical with his portrayal! No matter how many adaptations this story will have, only Mark Chao will resonate in my mind as Ye Hua.
The love story between Ye Hua and Bai Qian is soul soothing. Watching them fall in love, again and again will bring shivers down your spine and make to chant Ye Hua name as you sleep. There were other love stories in this, but I could never really focus on their love. I just craved for more Ye Hua and Bai Qian.
The only problem I had was, it started of quite slow and picked up pace at around ep 6-7 I think. Thus you have to be patient and reep the rewards later.
I guarantee that whoever you may be, will fall in love with Ye Hua and this tale forever, like I did.

The original soundtrack is beautiful and perfectly matched with the story line...
The chemistry between ML ( Mark Chao ) & FL ( Yang Mi ) is what gave this drama a memorable story...

Eternal Love was the first Chinese Drama I'd ever watched. From the very first minute of episode one to the very last second of the last episode, I had been hooked. Yang Mi and Mark Chao gave the preformance of a lifetime. Never have I seen such chemistry before. I'm gonna be honest: before I figured it out, I had thought the spirit of the golden lotus, Mo Yuan and Ye Hua were three different people (absolutely stupid, I know). Then I was like.... "wait, is this not the same guy?!". It was the same guy. Mark Chao as Mo Yuan and the lotus spirit gave me fomo... I want a Master that awesome and a spirit friend that sweet. However, Mark Chao as Ye Hua was ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (You'll understand when you watch the series).
The acting was phenomenal, the scenes, costumes and the supporting cast was the best cast family I've seen work together. Whether it was on screen or BTS, everyone was having the time of their life.
If they were to reboot the series ten years from now, I'd beg the universe to have Yang Mi and Mark Chao reprise their roles (of course, they'd need to time travel to the future or find a fountain of youth to make sure they look as young as they did).
