Eternal Love

Although the story is a copied from a lot of books, but it still makes one of the best TV series I've watched in 2017. The plot is great. The only thing I don't like is Bai Qian was sent to the mortal world by Qing Cang. I think it'd be better if someone else. Or she just went trial. The performances are great, especially Yang Mi. She is such a great actress. I totally love her.

There are two more things I like to mention. One is the OST. The songs from this show is great. I can't stop listening to them. And the other one thing is, although they've added extra things, it's not boring and even they make the story becomes easier to understand. Unlike the film, this one is totally better than the film produced by Crystal Liu.

All in all, if you are looking for some fantasy and romance with true love, I recommend you to watch this show because it's totally a great one.

This is the most intensely romantic TV series I have ever watched. I love a drama where the chemistry works between the leads making it a joy to watch them. Mark Chao and Yang Mi were amazing. Two beautiful people who got lost in their characters and made them come alive was a true joy to watch, The performances are first rate, the sets are gorgeous and the costumes breathtaking, with an equally beautiful soundtrack. Because I love epic love stories between people who experience love and loss, I knew this would be something I would enjoy. The fact that it spans lifetimes makes it all the more intriguing. I bought into the drama and have now watched it twice. It's hard to let go.

Though many people want to pan the series because it comes from plagiarized works, I don't think that is fair to the production. The script writers made something wonderful out of a mediocre novel, and that should be appreciated for its own merits. This was a beautiful piece of work and I appreciate the time, talents, and hard work of the production team.

In the spring of three years ago I started watching "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

Honestly at first, I was not impressed by the poster, but the more I watched it, the more I liked it. Mark Chao was so outstanding, just like Ye Hua from the story came out, but also much better than the story. Mark Chao played two roles: Mo Yuan and Ye Hua, very subtle, not to be confused with each other. Mi Yang also performed very well: The 17th disciple was young and naughty, Su Su was innocent and sincere, Bai Qian was beautiful and generous. The other actors also work seriously. Beautiful cast, suitable for the role. The script is solid. Great soundtrack... The drama is seamless from beginning to end, there is sadness, joy, sorrow, and finally burst into happiness. The happy ending for the main couple, the open ending for the extra couple, and the sad ending for the other couple... will make nostalgic forever. In short, the drama is very great.

I will continue to watch it and be sobbing along with the stories of the characters in it.

I haven't watched China drama for quite a long time. Usually being turned off by the longgggg episodes and draggy storyline. This drama was highly recommended by friends therefore I decided to give it a try. I was extremely impressed with it and did not regret the time spent on it. Storyline was good with some mystery in the beginning. Actress Yang Mi did an amazing job portraying a few characters. There are many touching moments between the 2 main casts with great chemistry. Definitely a drama worth watching, the best drama i have watched over these past few years.

'So glad I persevered with this series as the story started to get specially interesting for me in Episode 11. This is not to say that I found the first 10 episodes boring because they're not - they set the stage for the rest of the series. I just got initially overwhelmed at having to watch 58 episodes. But in Episode 11, when Ye Hua (Mark Chao) and Su Su (Yang Mi) first meet, the magic hit home for me. Their every interaction is precious. Even their exchanges when he is in dragon form are endearingly hilarious, like when he thinks, "How dare you!" when she kisses him and he forces himself to swallow the raw meat she is feeding him so she would not kiss him again.

Ye Hua is simply beautiful. Sure, the actor is handsome, but it is his manliness, depth, intelligence, wisdom, elegance, sincerity, strong sense of justice and most of all, love for and faithfulness to one woman that captivates. Another enchanting quality is his sense of humor that seems to be triggered only when he is with her like at the end when he is reminiscing their times together. Mark Chao did an exceptional job perfectly portraying such a compelling character. Yang Mi also did a great job as Bai Qian/Si Yin/Su Su. Who wouldn't find the beautiful goddess Bai Qian endearing when she gets dismayed at being labeled old by a clueless princess who has a huge crush on Ye Hua? However, I'm not too impressed with Bai Qian's fondness for wine to the point of severely affecting her emotions and decisions. Gosh, I'm sounding too attached to the characters. This is how powerful the hold this series has on its admirers. This is why I gave it a 10/10 even though the CGI is not perfect - the emotional attachment is off the charts.

The love story is indeed beautiful but it is the top-notch acting that raised this drama to a level of quality befitting its exalted position as the most watched Chinese TV series of all time, with over 50 billion views as of August 2018, just over a year after its release in January 2017.

Update: Watching the series a second time was an even more satisfying experience. I felt the magic from the first episode. Every scene between Mo Yuan and Bai Qian/Si Yin simmers with affection, with the mystery of "does he love her as a disciple or a woman" adding to the enchantment, if not poignancy, of the story. And now that I'm well aware of the significance of Jin Lian, the golden lotus, Ye Hua's attachment to Si Yin/Su Su/Bai Qian takes an even deeper meaning. A truly remarkable, beautiful, wonderful, mesmerizing series.
