Amor eterno

ETERNAL LOVE (San Sheng San Shi Shi Li Tao Hua / Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms) (2017) was an unexpectedly wonderful show, super entertaining plot and lovable characters. I was skeptical going into this one, fearing it to be another "too cheesy to believe" romance. However, it completely pulled me in. Everything was really well done. <3 Although this definitely gets categorized as a guilty pleasure drama.

The character of Bai Quan played by the wonderful Yang Mi was perhaps one of the best female leads I have seen in a C-Drama yet. She is very loveable, feisty, witty and completely unique. I loved her character so much. Mark Chao was great in this series as well, but especially as the stoic, yet warm-hearted Ye Hua. I loved Bai Qian and Ye Hua and adored watching their love grow and their lives intertwine. They had such palpable chemistry. So adorable.

The whole cast was great, honestly. Bai Fengjiu and Dong Hua were also very enjoyable. Li Jing, although broody and tormented, was also a very interesting character. I honestly wish there were more episodes, even a second season. The costumes were dazzling, the setting breathtaking and the mythology was captivating. I fell in love with the world of Eternal Love, along with the majority of the cast.

And the music! Fantastic. My only complaint, and it's a pretty small one, was at some points the drama became almost melodrama, as if the emotions overshadowed the plot, slightly detracting from the suspense of impending doom. (Usually the melodrama had to do with Su Jin or Li Jing.)

This show made me cry, and I don't cry easily. But the ending was very satisfying, complete with HEA. Anyway, this was a very enjoyable, creative and dazzling show. If you're into fantasy romance, and xianxia, give it a chance. Unforgettable.

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.

A wonderful fantasy romance drama. They're delivering the story with beautifully, captivating, fascinating and romantic. All the settings and outfits were described very beautifully into the screen, it seems very magical and heavenly. Kudos for the main cast to portray their roles perfectly (Mark Chao and Yang Mi) and have an excellent chemistry. The OST and instrumental music blend perfectly into every scenes and i think TMOPB has the best romantic ending ever of Chinese drama.

Frankly yet another great epic from Chinese Theater. Without giving the game away, it involves essentially two lovers who live three lives in different stages/ages. I simply adore these legends and plays from many centuries ago, wonderful acting, script and sets, clothing and mythological creatures.

If you have also seen 'Legend of White Snake', the storyline is (too me) along the same type of line. Boy meets girl, falls in love; much hardship occurs - and all's well at the very end.

I watch these great stories on Netflix, with subtitles, but like to turn the sound up so I can hear the Mandarin (I presume) speech. Without understanding, I can detect the variations of happy/sad tomes and so forth.

Watching novella's from different countries (China, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, etc) gives me an in-look to the soul and culture of them.

One thing I've noticed in many China based tales, is that there is usually a 'spoiler' - a female who falls for the same guy as the main actress, then will literally, lie, cheat, steal, connive, frame and harm her - all out of jealousy. Don't know if that is the norm, or just for the sake of a story.

Anyway, I'll leave it up to native Chinese speakers and so forth to fill in the blanks, but will just conclude by saying that I heartily recommend it.

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.
