Are you waiting for the drama to air? If so, it might be useful for you if you watch this one because they both have some similarities.

Both are elaborate xianxia dramas with excellent world building and the same epic fantasy feel. If you enjoyed being caught up in one and are feeling lost when it ends, the other will give you the same absorbing fantasy feeling. Also,
--The leads go through several different arcs in their relationship due to external forces but always find their way to one another again.
--Both are smart dramas, where characters make decisions consistent with their motivations and characters.
--Both have a well thought-out storyline that ends satisfactorily for our leads (and without being choppy or rushed like many cdramas), and ties up all the side stories we've invested in along the way.
--Eternal Love has more funny moments where Blue Whisper is more dreamy.
--The music is noticeably good and adds to the ambiance.
Note: The ML in Blue Whisper is a merman, but the whole story takes place on land, so he ends up acting just like the other powerful immortals.
