I need to be in the mood to watch a certain TV series, drama or movie. A few years ago, I began to watch Eternal Love, but not being in the right mood, I dropped it after episode 1 or 2 and archived it.

Fast forward to this year. Still difficult to get over the first episode, found the decisions of the female character, in the first arc of the story, really childish and, more often than not, harmful for the people she cared about. I did continue this time though, who doesn’t love a nine-tailed fox?

What I liked:

As the show progressed, it hooked me. Story is simple, straight forward and most important, at the correct pacing. Bit dragged at the end, but it is a romantic drama after all.

Loved Ye Hua *sigh*. All the qualities you can wish for in a man, Ye Hua has them. I don’t think he is handsome, but he definitely became sexy and attractive as the story progressed. I know he might be hated for some decisions, but he did try to save lives by adopting them and the attitude. I’m in agreement with his behavior.

Most of the time and after 15 episodes or so, loved Bai Qian as well. Not really the mother type though, is she? Her child seemed a bit neglected by her. This I cannot put on her being a nine-tailed fox, since her own mom was quite concerned about her daughter. Other than that… she matures into a bad ass and the OTP is perfect.

What I disliked:

Dong Hua Di Jun/Bai Feng Jiu story. I couldn’t relate to these 2, couldn’t get the chemistry. Maybe the chemistry of the OTP was so awesome, that I didn’t have the energy to root for other pairings.

Demon Lord…. You really a demon? Seemed pretty much to serve all the others, incapable of any decision making. It was a miracle that he was the demon lord for such a long time.

What I could get over:

Time measurement and how different kids of the same age grew. Bad CGI.

I will not rewatch it full, but I will definitely rewatch favorite scenes.
