STORY: Not a 10 because there were a few minor plotholes and I was a little miffed at the conclusions of some of the couples. But it was definitely new and different, and unlike most fantasy dramas completely explained everything viewers needed to know about the world the drama was set in. Characters were fleshed out more than usual, and the leads weren't perfect but they were wonderful anyway.
ACTING: Mark Chao is my new obsession. They need to cast him as Li Shang in Mulan, or I will never forgive Disney. His Ye Hua was cold, courageous, and noble, but also sensitive, understanding, and fair. Yang Mi was spunky without coming off as immature or annoying. And everyone else was simply wonderful.
MUSIC: Downright gorgeous.
REWATCH VALUE: Not a 10 just because it's 58 episodes and I don't think I'd ever be able to manage that more than once without skipping. But it certainly has enough intrigue and story to keep you entertained for more than one viewing.

I couldnt move on from this drama for about 2 week which i keep on replay the soundtrack in my phone RIP to my replay button ? i even did a cover song for the soundtrack but decided to delete it cause i sound like a dying frog.
The supporting actor and actress did very well. You cant help but really feel the hatred whenever their scene appear i keep on cursing? but then i realize that wow they really bring out the character alive. Thats whats we called Act. ❤

Too Much Angst
Eternal Love is one of the first suggestions for those looking for something similar to Love Between Fairy and Devil. While the two dramas certainly had similar elements, I found Eternal Love to be too dark and depressing. It does have a happy ending (for those that need that reassurance), but at what cost? The characters go through some truly traumatic experiences; the villains are almost mustache twirling obvious; and the pacing of each arc felt drawn out and overwhelming.While I may not have enjoyed the overall plot (or, at least, the way it is told), the acting and OST are top notch. Yang Mi and Mark Chao had some electric chemistry on screen, and their romantic scenes sizzled. Mark Chao, in general, completely impressed me - he played two very different characters in such an effortless and graceful way. I would say give this drama a chance if it sounds interesting you, but be willing to drop it if it doesn't hit you the right way.

I watched the story of Fengjiu and Dijun first, and found this confusing since there are now two different versions of them now. Dijun is also much colder and I like the other version better. However, I just enjoy watching Yehua chasing Bai Qian and getting his heart broken by her ignorant words more than Fengjiu desperately vying for Dijun’s attention. Her case is so pitiful it’s difficult to watch and feel happy, even though there are funny bits. Yehua is much better, as he is a male. I can’t understand why. Both dramas are great though, and don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise. It’s just that Eternal love is funnier when Yehua is chasing Bai Qian, and Eternal Love of Dream is funnier when Dijun is being thick skinned and teasing Fengjiu in ways we could never imagine.

Lots of great stuff and one character I could do without
Epic fantasy with lots of action, conflict and slow-burn romance. Great characters to power the 58 episodes....with one notable exception.I know some people are fans of the hyper cutsey Dilraba, but she plays the same character and it gets on my nerves. This time, her character seems like a bubbly, selfish doll with the mental age of 13 who wants to get their way no matter what damage it does to others. A-Li is far more mature. To me, no one is cute enough to get away with the selfish stuff she does so I started to roll my eyes whenever her character was on screen. Also, she’s so immature, it’s kind of icky when she’s chasing relentlessly after someone who’s got the gravitas of great grandpa. Ick.
Luckily the main romantic conflict works with a couple of the usual misunderstandings and such.
Also, there is the most adorable child in the story which is just too cute for words.
Overall, I enjoyed the story though it feels a bit more by-the-numbers. Aside from the one big fault (that some people actually like), I liked this one a lot.
