Do try it! Is there anything that's holding you down?

I tried to volunteer to help out with the subs on Viki, but I couldn't because I didn't have enough experience. Wish I could contribute in some way :(

You could totally submit your article on MDL too, it was so well-written it deserves to be publicized here :)

Ikr! ML looks old because his character is supposed to be more mature. Plus his good looks are still super noticeable even though they were toned down. FL's acting was so good I didn't even notice she looked old for the role.

Ah I understand the frustration of the slow subs. I wish it gets fully subbed soon so that non-Chinese speakers can finally binge watch it.

I feel the same! I actually loved that he looked more mature than other male leads we're accustomed to. He really has this reliable, protective, resolute vibe that makes his character attractive. And yes, if Chang Chen looked as handsome as usual I would've been too distracted by his looks to focus on the story.

YES!!! I agree with you sooo much! The OTP is really the ultimate pairing. I rewatch their scenes all the time. The side couples were interesting too, especially Shi San and Si Ming they crack me up XD

The plot isn't as similar as it seems at first glance. Do give this a chance if you like beautiful love stories like TMOPB!

He is really handsome in real life his looks were toned down for this drama to look older.

I always thought the stylists did him dirty. They probably made him look older on purpose to fit the character, but this drama could've been more popular if he looked as hot as he normally does. I ain't complaining tho, cuz I still found him attractive as Jiu Chen.

About Ni Ni being too old for the role, I actually thought her acting was good enough to make up for it. Her acting was so natural and believable that she was able to convince me that she was a young naive girl, despite her looks not matching the role.

I understand where you're coming from. Some parts were indeed a bit slow, and although I didn't feel bored at all, I can understand why some people would. I liked how they would put little details that they would throwback to, and the plot was really engaging in general.

I actually thought he could have had more courage to pursue his love. He had 20,000 years to do it but he didn't, so he was meant to fail. I guess, because she was his disciple, plus her real gender was a secret, he probably didn't think it was ok for him to be with her.

Agreed. Her acting was great in JBL. I understood why she was chosen out of everyone right away.

I can't get this drama out of my head, HELP! The scenes keep popping up 24/7. Worst withdrawal I've ever experienced in dramaland. I'm afraid I'll never get over this. I envy those who haven't finished watching it cuz I wish I could erase my brain and watch it all over again :(

Search for PCCD on facebook and you should find it. It may be under a different name depending on the newest drama project they're working on.

I understand your frustration! I heard Viki is subbing the drama two episodes a day now so you could consider watching it there, or else you gotta wait for it to finish to binge watch then.

I used to think TMOPB and Ashes of Love were the best xianxia dramas until Love and Destiny came along. I finished watching it not long ago and I'm in severe withdrawal. I can't believe that drama isn't getting more recognition because it's even better than TMOPB imo. You gotta watch it if you're in for a beautiful love story in the xianxia fantasy genre.

If you want to watch a fantasy drama like Eternal Love, I strongly recommend Love and Destiny. It's a spinoff with a different story, the love story is beautiful like Eternal Love, and the acting, characters, humour, and melodrama are all spot on. If you loved Eternal Love and Ashes of Love (those are my favorite dramas too), you can't miss Love and Destiny.

A great explanation of the mythical terms and ranking system in the xianxia world of L&D:
