Everlasting Longing

It like the ML A lot. The plot is interesting except they needed to clear up that he/she. I love the comradery, and jealously and treachery. C Dramas are my favorite, especially the historical and costume. I love their culture and history. I am still watching, but have a feeling from the word longing. I will end tragically. Hope not though. Ill stay tuned

"My heart yearned,my heart burned"

Do you know why it was called eternal longing?

It was a story of the three men who fell so hard but for painful reasons they couldn't be together with the women they loved. The first supporting ML fell in love with the woman,who forcefully owned by the emperor and the second supporting ML fell in love with the woman whose heart belonged to the wolf lord.

Yes the wolf lord,the male lead who fell in love with the noble merchant. Nay this was not your typical arranged marriage,this was a hard fight,this was you and me against all odds. She couldn't marry him,she was neither a female general nor a princess.

Did I shed some tears? I did.The most painful scenes were all the wedding scenes. The wolf lord was arranged to the princess,and the noble merchant was arranged to the knight of the king. Two different clans that forbidden to cross paths but still found each other because of fate. I was always on edge,always shouting don't marry him/her!! Suspense but sometimes funny. Calm but most of the time storm.

The physical features? Man! the first time I saw them I fell in love. I love the cute expression,the in love expression and the fierce expression.

The acting skills were awesome,they naturally executed it,but the writer was clever,it was beautifully written. This drama opened another world for me,another perspectives,sometimes I felt I was there together with the
characters.

This is a romantic story that will make your heart flinch but indeed they would still give you a satisfying ending.

My regret? Am I too late to discover this precious hidden gem?

The Business Woman and a the Desert Prince

Everlasting Longing (Starring Angelababy and Song Weilong) is a Chinese Costume Drama that tells the story of a strong willed women who takes over the family merchant business. Of necessity, she poses as her older dead brother. This smart woman knew that the Merchant Guild would not accept a woman. Her business acumen far exceeds that of any man and she becomes a dominant force in the Guild. She is envied by all and targeted by many who are jealous of her business success. Along the way, this self-willed woman is captured by a rouge desert Prince, who does not know who she is. She tells him that she is a lowly maid. He recognizes her gifts and decides to keep her as his. That is not going to work for her.

I like Everlasting Longing (2025). However, the script seems wanting, as the spoken translated words seem immature. I started to shelf this drama, but decided to give it a chance. There is always the possibility that the problem with the dialog is not the writer’s words, but the problem may be with the translation team. This is a Chinese drama. It is no telling how Everlasting Longing plays in the native Chinese language.

Nonetheless, I began to rationalize this point, that unpaid volunteers translate these dramas (on VIKI). One has to realize that the viewers are secondary spectators. The words we get are filtered through someone else’s lenses, but without these volunteer translation teams, I would understand zero percentage of a foreign drama. Zero. The words are simplistic, but fortunately the action, costumes, acting and general settings drives this Action Wuxia Romance drama full of Intrigue and Revenge. This makes Everlasting Longing work for me.

This experience prompts me to alert everyone who lends their expert opinions to rate Foreign Language dramas. Some may underrate a good drama because the words don’t flow. The words are not flowery or poetic as I would expect a script writer to produce. However, I could not put down this Chinese Drama, Everlasting Longing. It is not a simple job to translate an emotion through words from a translated foreign language. That is why Foreign Language interpreters get paid high dollars when they can do this, transfer the emotional intent of the words spoken into their translation of the foreign language. We may not be getting the drama as presented in the native language, but we are getting a good drama.

Secondarily, this just might be the fault of the writers of Everlasting Longing. The writers may have paid more attention to the action than to actually connecting the action with wonderful words in between. With two powerhouse Chinese actors like Song Weilong and Angelababy adding their expertise to Everlasting Longing, most viewers will not be disappointed.

Song Weilong can act very well and very handsome

Song Weilong can act very well and very handsome. The female lead is the exact opposite. I wonder if can continue watching such poor acting skills just bec Song Weilong can still act well . Have not been watching the female lead drama for many years. Song Weilong's drama also limited.

I stop watching this drama for 2 reasons, despite male lead good acting skills. #1 lousy story plot #2 Extremely bad acting skills of the female lead. No improvement at all.

I wonder why the drama got such good rating...

Poorly directed

I really wanted to like this show, but there were so many problems with the world building that you were thrown out of the story, thinking, “that doesn’t make sense.” If you are someone who doesn’t care if the story/plot makes a lot of sense or offers something new, then this drama is for you. Each episode, from what I’ve seen, consists of the writer/director wondering which trope or situation they will include. Below are 4 examples of what I’m saying.
1. The tired trope of a woman with fine skin, delicate bone structure, and thin frame passing herself off as an adult man. No one notices because her hairstyle and clothes are masculine. Sitting with her legs apart doesn’t make her look manly.
2. The female lead has been captured and escapes. The ML runs after her. They start by a river and a nice forest. Soon they are running through the dangerous desert. (Lost in the desert, surviving without water). A sandstorm comes. She is buried but emerges with every hair in place. He is flat on the ground, laying neatly. No one is hurt by flying grains of sand. They walk for hours/days (unclear) even though they didn’t run far to get in the desert.
3. Just as they see trees, they are attacked by wolves! She manages to miraculously make a bow and arrows with enough draw power to kill a wolf. Amazing!
4. Later (episode 3), the ML and his buddy are in danger from their enemies. He sends her off quickly to ask for help from a friend. However, she decides to take the time to put on female clothes and fix her hair nicely, complete with jewelry. No rational reason exists for this.
Many more things make no sense, I just could not continue. There are so many shows to choose from, I couldn’t spend my time on this one.

Disguised

Why are these drama show casting female characters dressed as males. It's so obvious because they sound and look female. Especially here. Her chest bindings fail because she's has significant endowment in the chest area no matter the angle her chest protrudes and she talks girlie.

Kind of takes away from the suspense.

O drama me surpreendeu. Comecei a assistir sem muita expectativa, pois a sinopse não prometia muita coisa e os dois reis eram asquerosos, mas aos poucos a drama ficou interessante. O visual era agradável e as atuações boas. Só não vale um 10, porque a finalização deixou muito a desejar. Final feliz não significa que o drama tenha boa finalização. O 'um ano depois' pareceu bastante desconexo e com um texto desleixado, deixando a impressão de uma finalização apressada.

Everlasting Longing som dosť dlho odkladala, kvôli dosť rozporuplným hodnoteniam . Ale tu sa mi opäť potvrdilo moje staré známe pravidlo, že nie všetko, čo má dobré hodnotenie za to naozaj stojí a na druhej strane nie všetko, čo má zlé hodnotenia, je naozaj zlé... Napriek nie zrovna najlepšiemu CGI a naozaj mizernému výkonu Angelybaby si dovolím tvrdiť, že toto je jedna z najlepších vecí, aké som za poslednú dobu videla. Ale pekne poporiadku... Začnem pozitívami. Song Wei Long bol ten najimpozantnejší a najčarovnejší hlavný hrdina vôbec. Neviem si predstaviť lepší výber na postavu Xuan Lie. Wei Long je neskutočne krásny, charizmatický herec, a keď sa k jeho charizme pridali bravúrne výkony kostymérov a vizážistov, vznikol dokonalý hlavný hrdina. V prvých epizódach bol na zožratie, neviem či som si nenašla novú platonickú lásku :) Myslím že keby tam bol iný herec, dráma by značne stratila na kvalite. A teraz pridám jedno ,,ALE,, a tým je Angelababy. Aj keď je to nádherná žena a dokonca sme narodené v ten istý deň, tak ako herečka je proste zlá. Nedokázala podať emócie na takej úrovni, ako táto dráma potrebovala. Jej výraz je stále chladný a upätý, aj v momentoch, keď by z nej mal ísť smútok alebo láska, bola stále na neurčitej úrovni. Vôbec nesúladila s Wei Longom, ktorému podanie emócií išlo na výbornú. A tým pádom trošku pokrivkával ten romantický aspekt drámy. Tú lásku z nej proste vôbec nebolo cítiť. Celý čas som ju brala len ako chladnú, vypočítavú osobu, ktorej viac záležalo na všeobecnom a osobnom blahu, ako na Xuan Lie. A teraz naozaj neviem, či bola táto postava zámerne napísaná týmto spôsobom, alebo tam uškodilo ,,neherectvo,, Angelybaby. Ale mne tam tá romantika naozaj chýbala. On ju mal tak rád, aj jej to niekoľkokrát povedal, no nebola žiadna odozva z jej strany. Čiže večná túžba tam síce bola, ale len z jednej strany. Na konci ma najviac prekvapilo jej rozhodnutie rozdeliť dvojičky a a jedného nechať v Beixuane a druhého v Yannane? Jej obchodný, praktický duch sa proste nezaprel ani v závere. Opäť to bol Xuan Lie, ktorý povedal, že rodina by mala ostať spolu, no naša chladná Jun Qi Luo sa nedala zlomiť. Ale myslím, že tam bola trošku chyba aj v scenári, jej postava proste nebola napísaná dobrým spôsobom a keď sa k tomu pridalo naozaj zlé herectvo, tak to nedopadlo dobre. Mimochodom mohli nám tie deti spolu s nimi ukázať ako rodinu aspoň v jednom krátkom zábere. To by bol veľmi uspokojujúci koniec. A toto bola jediná vec ktorá mi v Everlasting Longing vadila. Ostatné chybičky krásy, včetne CGI veľmi rada prehliadnem. Popravde po pár epizodách si na CGI zvyknete, a už vás moc neprekvapuje. Chválim aj pekné prevedenie bojových scén a zaujímavé vedľajšie postavy. Luo Zhi Zhou ma naozaj prekvapil, to som od neho nečakala... Niekedy dokážu scenáristi predsa len prekvapiť... Veľmi sa mi páčila aj postava generálovho zástupcu Luo Qi , a takisto tu musím napísať, že výber herca nemohol dopadnúť lepšie. Kto ma najviac iritoval bola kráľova sestra Xuan Qing Kou. Rozmaznaná, šialená, namyslená, proste na facku ako sa u nás vraví... Jej správanie voči Shao Qi Min ma naozaj vytáčalo. No aj keď ani on nepatril medzi mojich obľúbencov, nezávidím mu jeho situáciu, keď sa na neho nalepila táto šialená princeznička. Napodiv jeho smrť je pre mňa asi ten najdojímavejší moment, ani sama neviem prečo ma to tak dostalo, keďže som ho nemala moc rada. Záporáci sú ok, ale nič výnimočné. Vôbec som im neprikladala nejaký význam, proste sa tam len čas od času objavili, povedali pár slov, niečo urobili a zas zmizli... Nazvala by som to postavy do počtu. V iných drámach sú záporné postavy podané s omnoho väčšou hĺbkou a zmysluplným príbehom. Everlasting Longing na mňa zanechal naozaj veľmi dobrý dojem, hltala som epizódu za epizódou. Kostýmy, účesy a make-up boli potešením pre oči, OST krásne dopĺňalo dej, bojové scény na výbornú a najkrajší hlavný hrdina vôbec, ktorý mal pekný charakterový vývoj od začiatku do konca. Z nemilosrdného generála až k citlivému manželovi. Príbeh mal hlavu aj pätu a hlavne dušu. Oceňujem že nikto nestratil pamäť a vyhli sme sa tak zbytočnému trápnemu klišé. Ja by som neváhala dať plný počet hviezd, ale kvôli Angelebaby to neurobím. Nie každý môže byť herec a týmto by sa mala začať riadiť. Kvôli jej neschopnosti podať uveriteľné emócie dráma stratila na kvalite. Jej postava taktiež mohla byť lepšie napísaná. S väčšou hĺbkou a hlavne nejakým charakterovým vývojom, mne prišla dosť plochá a stagnujúca na tej iste úrovni. Chápem, že pôvodný zámer bol vykresliť ju ako pragmatickú ženu, ktorá rozmýšľa a stojí nohami pevne na zemi, no nevyšlo to celkom podľa predstáv. Skôr pôsobila ako chladná a vypočítavá. Pridala by som aj viac romantických scén medzi hlavnými hrdinami, aby tam tá ,,večná túžba,, bola naozaj citeľná. Keď tak spätne premýšľam, taká naozaj že romantika sa objavila jeden krát... A proste to tu chýba. No aj napriek týmto nedostatkom je to krásna dráma, ktorá vám v srdci nejaký ten čas ostane a určite odporúčam pridať si Everlasting Longing na svoj Watchlist. Ja nebudem mať problém aj s opätovným vzhliadnutím. Percentuálne 90%. Top song ,,Tiger Hu - The Mountains Are Green,, .

De superbes personnages et une belle histoire...oubliezles invraisemblances !

Amoureux de la vraisemblance, de la logique et de la cohérence passez votre chemin !! J’ai rarement vu un scénariste ignorer aussi superbement un minimum de réalisme dans les enchaînements, et je ne parle même pas de l’inévitable falaise(gigantesque, en plus !La prochaine c’est sur la Lune !) ou de la garde-robe spectaculaire que des gens supposés en fuite, en cavale incognito, arborent à chaque changement de plan ! (la sublime robe de chambre ivoire à broderies bleues de Xuan Lie lors d’une de leurs retrouvailles !)
Cependant, j’ai énormément aimé ce drama qui m’a accrochée comme peu y arrivent depuis un moment !! Pourtant le schéma de départ est hyper classique : la femme qui se déguise en homme puis rencontre son ennemi/opposé et ils tombent amoureux… Alors comment se fait-il que j’y ai adhéré avec, certes, les yeux grands ouverts sur les défauts, mais le cœur battant fort pour l’histoire ?
Eh bien, c’est pour les personnages, les dialogues et les sentiments ! Le scénariste (la ??)s’est assis sur le côté narratif mais par contre il a soigné la psychologie des personnages et a mis suffisamment de rebondissements pour que la mayonnaise prenne parfaitement.
Les personnages présentent une belle variété de sentiments, partagés entre devoir, amour, ambition, capables d’aimer profondément mais aussi de ne pas perdre de vue la loyauté au Chef, au pays, à la famille d’où des choix cornéliens ! Les dialogues sont vivants, réalistes et les disputes entre les amoureux ont un fort parfum de vécu ! On a des rois cruels mais en même temps ils ont charge d’âmes et comme le dira l’un d’eux « je ne peux pas me perdre dans mes sentiments » ! On a des cousins traîtres mais à la fois si ridicules qu’ils font rire, on a un clan ennemi haïssable mais on a quand même pitié pour la fin affreuse du fils du chef !Les deux personnages qui m’ont le plus intéressées sont les « amis/frères » des héros, capables à la fois d’un dévouement total mais aussi de choix surprenants et limites et qu’on ne peut s’empêcher d’aimer et d’admirer ! Cette ambivalence se retrouve dans la relation amoureuse entre Qi Luo et Xuan Lie dont le moins qu’on puisse dire est qu’elle est complexe, difficile et ponctuée de moments très durs ! Et pardessus tout les acteurs sont vraiment excellents !!! Angelababy (mon Dieu, ce pseudo !!) rend parfaitement présente et réelle cette femme ambitieuse, douée, qui doit affronter les normes patriarcales, mener de front son amour, et sa loyauté pour son pays. Song Wei Long campe un Seigneur Loup plus que crédible, et en plus de sa beauté indéniable il dégage une belle présence, ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas(je ne nommerai personne ! ) Les seconds rôles sont tout à fait à la hauteur, avec un coup de cœur pour Ren Hao dans le rôle difficile de Qi Min ou Bai Bing Ke, la princesse capricieuse…
La fin est parfaite parce qu’il y a suffisamment de moments d’émotions, et et même de peine pour que la fin heureuse ne soit pas pas un happy end banal !
Au total, j’ai oublié très vite (sauf pour en rigoler !) les invraisemblances et je me suis laissée prendre avec grand plaisir à cette superbe histoire d’amour, d’ambition et d’amitié. Faites-en autant !

Protagonista insulsa

Me gustan las protagonistas fuertes y empoderadas, pero tristemente la de este drama no logró convencerme a pesar de esto; para empezar sentí que la actriz ni siquiera sabía actuar, no tenía ninguna expresión, si estaba triste, feliz o enojada daba igual porque esta mujer no transmitía nada, no pude empatizar nada con ella. El protagonista era lindo, pero siento que no tenía ninguna química con su compañera por lo que ya mencioné; a ella nunca se le vio enamorada, además era una persona muy egoísta, solo pensaba en su beneficio sin importar hacerle daño al hombre que "amaba" o a las personas que la apoyaban, y él si se sacrificaba mil veces por ella, sinceramente no valía la pena.

La princesa Qing Kou al principio se me hizo tierna y adorable, pero después me hizo tan insoportable, esta niña se encapricho con Qi Min sin ninguna razón y él nunca le correspondio porque también estaba enamorado de la insulsa de la protagonista que también lo usaba para sus propósitos sin pensar en sus sentimientos; de todas maneras no sentía nada por la princesa y ella seguía detrás de él como una loca obsesionada... Los personajes de esta historia necesitan urgentemente terapia para poder tener amor propio y no dejarse manipular por otros.

La historia tampoco me atrapó mucho, e incluso habían momentos que se me hacían tan aburridos que me daba sueño; los únicos personajes que se me hicieron interesantes fueron la princesa Shao Min que era una mujer fuerte, empoderada, valiente y noble, que siempre tenía en mente superarse a sí misma, ayudar a su clan, reino y seres queridos; y Luo Qi qué era un chico tierno y adorable; pero lastimosamente no les dieron mucho tiempo en pantalla, por lo que no ayudo mucho por mi interés hacia la serie.

Aparte de estos personajes, no pude conectar con ninguno otro, así que me daba casi igual si eran felices, tristes, si morían o sufrían y para que mí es muy importante poder contemplar diferentes emociones con las historias que veo, y para empeorarlo todo, los efectos especiales eran terribles, parecían en ocasiones como si fuera alguna parodia.

El final tampoco me agrado, y en realidad siento que el rey de Beixuan si debió ser asesinado porque fue un hombre terrible, egoísta, desagradable y todo lo que le dijo Zhi Zhou, pero de todas formas como no estaba disfrutando la historia, tampoco le di mucha importancia.

Le di 3 estrellas por cariño a Song Weilong, pero honestamente pensé en darle 1 o inclusive ninguna porque desde el comienzo hasta el final se me hizo una perdida de tiempo en todos los sentidos.
