I wrapped this one up this afternoon since I have the day off. It was pretty good with kind of a grim reaper, time-stopping plot. I do like the ML in this one and have liked him since Boys Over Flowers. (Yes, I know he had some legal problems when he was younger but I still like his work). 12 episodes so an easy watch. Some of the OST is beautiful as well.

Finished this morning as a rewatch. I didn’t do any FF no matter how much I wanted to smash Su Jin the lying conniving side consort delusional princess.
I always feel a complicated dilemma between choosing Ye Hua or Mo Yuan. When I first watched this during it’s release, I actually thought Mo Yuan was perfect for Bai Qian. Until, I find out Ye Hua was the ML. I really like Mo Yuan’s overall aura and how he carries himself. Also, his UNCONDITIONAL LOVE for Bai Qian. This man suffered 3 lightening strikes for the FL and then went into sleep mode until the last 5 episodes. -_- When he wakes back up some 73,000 years later, the love of his life was taken by his TWIN BROTHER I felt so bad for him, like… Sir, please, I’ll marry you!
Ye Hua… he’s so complex. Everything he does is well thought out and planned. I really admire his love for Bai Qian because he never wavered. There were a handful of Immortal Women throwing themselves onto his path but he just dodges them left and right. The only thing I really hated about him was his treatment of SuSu/Bai Qian after they arrived in Heaven. I know it’s not his fault he didn’t have leverage over his grandfather who was a total donkey. I cried so much when he took SuSu’s eyes. The way SuSu was crying and begging him. I hated that he couldn’t stand up for her. But, he does redeem himself later on. I did an ugly adult cry when he “died.” I think it’s one of the saddest drama deaths I’ve seen.
Plot wise, I wish they would have focused on YH & BQ more. Their love line could have had more depth. There was just a lot going on and the transition wasn’t very smooth.
If they were going to do Pillow Book, they could have left FJ & DH love line kind of a mystery in Eternal Love. Instead, when they did PB, they repeated the beginning of their encounter from EL (with slight changes) which is redundant.

LOL! It does take a lot of time to digest these xianxia/chinese fantasy dramas because they have huge time skips. 
It’s even more confusing when they have several lifetimes.

EVERY XIANXIA DRAMA EVER 
Eternal Love is one of the absolute classics in the xianxia world, so it conforms completely to the rules of xianxia. I personally can’t get myself to watch it because I already watched Ashes of Love (another classic), and for some reason, I don’t think I can stomach Eternal Love.
Rules of Xianxia(with the experience I have - please correct me or add more if needed lol):
- Most of the main characters are immortal so the story will always span thousands and thousands of years.
- The FL usually starts out as a happy-go-lucky little sprite with birth secrets and ends up as an all-powerful, badass goddess
- ML is usually an extremely powerful tsundere god who falls madly in love with the FL - MADLY to the point where he will do anything, on heaven and earth, for her
- Either ML or FL (sometimes both, if the writer feels like torturing us a little more) will sacrifice one of their senses for the other. They also sacrifice hundreds/ thousands of years of cultivation for random stuff or sacrifice something out of their core being.
- If there’s a phoenix in the story, he or she will sacrifice one of his/her many lives.
- Since they’re immortal, there WILL be death scenes and they WILL make you ugly cry for days
- Either FL - usually FL - or ML(sometimes both) has to go through a Mortal Trial - in simple words, a “Mortal Trial” is a tool used by the writers to inflict whatever pain, trouble and other nonsense they feel like inflicting on the main character(s) without feeling guilty in any way. It’s like a drama within a drama, because the character going through the trial is reborn with no memories and has to live a whole new life. I usually like the Mortal Trial section of xianxia dramas.
- The villain is usually completely unhinged.
- The Emperor is a total a**hole - most of the time. The Empress may or may not be a witch.
- Somebody’s mother always dies tragically.
- Either because of a misunderstanding or on purpose, the ML does something to FL that makes her ignore him/hate him for a few hundred years/episodes.

Yeah, I think they didn’t know they were going to get the rights to the Pillow Book.
I enjoy all the rant videos about this show 
. I think TMOPB/EL is one of the best Xian xia out there and very well known.
This last one had me laughing .
Hahaha are you part of the Moyuan Fandom?

I just finished watching The King’s Affection -> A really great show.
And I’m watching The Red Sleeve -> A really really great show.
Both shows are really, really good.
I know I’m not using a lot of words to describe these shows, but you really just have to see them yourselves, as I don’t want to spoil anything.
Great acting, great story, great camera angels, costumes etc!

Guilty as charged. The last video you shared makes sense. It’s the protective nature of Mo Yuan that wins my heart. He would NEVER let Bai Qian suffer tribulations and definitely not let Su Jin live a day more to bully BQ… which then the story wouldn’t progress.
But still! I still absolutely love Ye Hua too. He’s patient and grew mature enough to be worthy of BQ. It’s funny how BQ looks/acts so much more shy and timid in front of YH than Mo Yuan.
Since, Love & Destiny, is based on Mo Yuan /God of War, I’m going to go watch it and finish it this time. Lol

I liked the fl and her silly antics. It’s been a while where a jdrama grabs my attention enough for a one sitting binge.

LOL they’re very beautifully shot and entertaining. I usually don’t like fantasy but I’ll happily swallow xianxias with their beautiful, elaborate high fantasy sets any day
To narrow down your options: My favorites are Ashes of Love and Love & Destiny but beware, Ashes of Love and Eternal Love can reduce you to a bawling mess multiple times for DAYS

Xianxias are great for winter viewing
Idk why but Winter makes me want to cry. I’m on a xianxia watching spree.
I’m currently rewatching Pillow Book aka Eternal Love 2.
Love & Destiny, is next and then my favorite, Love & Redemption. Might squeeze in and rewatch Ashes of Love. It’s gonna be a tear filled journey.
