Just wait, drama is coming, in ep 8 I believe (if they follow the novel).
The novel (you'll find it on wattpad) is 40 chapters, 1 epilogue and 5 special chapters. I think 1 episode is at least 4 chapters ? It's difficult to say because they added Thai & Champ' romance and now June & Penny's scenes. What I can tell is Jun meeting Sorn's brother is the turning point. And since we'll see him next week, I guess the drama will start in ep 8 or 9.
I don't agree with how Mon's mom dealt with the situation. Mon shouldn't have lied but she didn't have to threaten the teachers and ruin the trip for the other students. She used her position for her personal benefits. Shameful. And the discussion after Mon came back was weird. Like, the boy is 16, let him breath! Kim is his first boyfriend, no one talking about marriage and kids. Let him experience first love, big chance they'll break up in a year or two, so what ? Ain't no one dying from a first heartbreak. She really is a helicopter mom.
That's being said, I hope we'll know more about Kim's background cause I love him but so far he's quite a 2D character.
I've just finished the novel and I loved it! The series is quite aligned with the novel so far, and the actors play the characters really well. Some people say you have to read the novel to understand Sorn but I don't really agree. Of course, the novel gives a clear understanding of Sorn's thoughts but it's pretty clear in the series why he's acting like that and what's going on on his mind. I mean, if you know how to read between the lines and know basic psychology 101... The series isn't going to outmatch the novel but it's quite faithful to it and it's a guilty pleasure.
So this practically remake of 1000 stars is supposed to impress me, sorry for the bitterness, but so far I’m…
I love 1000 stars but don't talk like it invented anything. There are many thai stories with this premise. And MSJ isn't even the same story. You can dislike the series without trying to compare it with another one. It's like saying MGB is the temu version of Buffy and Twilight. Please, be serious.
Good start. Didn't like how they used flashbacks (a flashback within a flashback is my peetpeve) but well... This ep was funny and Poom is very good at comedy. Can't wait to see how the age gap plays out.
If you are expecting saucy scenes, you won't get any satisfaction from this series.This is one of the best C-…
Did you even read my post ? When did I talk about sex or intimacy ? Wanting the characters to interact more than 2 episodes before they fall in love is asking for saucy scenes ?
HATERS always come here to comment bad things about the series. Why not go over to your favorite artist dramas…
Having read the thread, I know you're talking about me because I'm the only one who posted a negative comment in the last months. Watching a series and not liking it doesn't make you a hater. Posting your opinion on social medias, especially on platforms like MDL that are made specifically for this, doesn't make you a hater. You, on the other hand, need to chill. You're not the gatekeeper of Eternal Love. I don't think you know the actors or worked on the film production so why are you so pressed by my comment ? I saw you come here every time to discredit people who don't appreciate the show. Don't you have anything else to do? You commented on my post, I explained to you my pov and instead of replying to me, you posted a complain about haters. That's some kid behavior here.
Did we watch the same drama? Baiqian/Siyin is not even a weak character. She's not obsessed to Yehua, Sujin is…
I commented while watching ep 21. It was not yet revealed that YeHua was MoYuan's twin brother (at that time I thought he had put his soul in the lotus flower and reincarnated as YeHua). I binged the series and finished today. It was a weird viewing experience. I found the series lacking in so many ways but I couldn't drop it, I wanted to see if it got better. Unfortunately it didn't. When I said the female characters are weak I really mean all of them, for different reasons : Bai Qian doesn't do anything interesting or inspiring during the whole series. As SiYin, she's a disciple we don't see studying, we don't see her improved. She's her master favorite but we don't see why. She's not that smart and she's not a better student than the other disciples. And when she does fight it's not believable, but somehow she's supposed to be strong enough to seal/keep sealed Qing Cang... And why did she do except waiting for MoYuan to wake up ? Second arc as Su Su ? What's interesting about her now ? We don't see her interact with the village people, we don't see her working, getting money, trying to get her memories back or whatever. No, she lives in a cabin in the wood, she finds a little snake that turns out to be Ye Hua and oh, surprise they fall in love and get married in 2-3 episodes... Final arc, what does she do except wandering here and there, drinking wine and being seduced by Ye Hua ? Su Jin, Bai Feng Jiu and Xuan Nu ? All obsessed about a man. All their actions and motivation are linked to their love for a guy.
Removing all this weird misogyny thing going on with the women, the plot and narrative choices are not it imo. We follow too many secondary storylines. The characters wander here and there, in their respective "kingdom", or visiting one another, they talk a lot, repeating what other characters said or summarizing what happened previously. The writer uses too many time jumps, especially on parts we should have seen in order to get involved emotionally : MoYuan/SiYin, SiYin during the 70 000 years she waited for MoYuan, YeHua/SuSu... Eternal love is a perfect example of "telling instead of showing", and that's absurd considering the series has 58 episodes.
Maybe the series would have impressed me 2 years ago when I started my journey into fantasy and historical cdramas but I can't appreciate it after watching series such as Back From the Brink, Till the End of the Moon, The Legend of Shen Li, The Double, Moonlight Mystique. Those are series that are really dynamic and keep you on the edge of your seat : tight and engaging plot, good action scenes, a romance that takes its time to progress, main leads that work well together to win against adversity and that are also interesting individually, and of course strong yet flawed female leads.
When does it start to be good ? I'm at ep 21 and I'm bored. There are too many characters and sub stories and the FL is weak. She's supposed to be this strong high immortal princess but we don't see her do anything deserving the title. I was baffled by the few fighting scenes she took part in, not convincing at all. Actually, all the women in this series are weak. They have no personality, no agency in their lives, they're just 2D characters obsessed about men. Also, it's an odd narrative choice to skip the student/master 20 000 years together cause how and why should I care about the beginning of their eternal love if I didn't see it blossom ? Same for their second love when they're on the mortal realm : everything is going too fast, the romance and chemistry are barely there.
