I warn you that maybe my problem was having watched Love and Destiny before. Therefore, I find this 1st episode of Eternal Love to have several weak points: the special effects, the setting, the composition of the characters. How come no one realizes that Bai Qian, now like the boy Si Yin, is a woman? Ah, because of Zhe Yan's magical effect! However, it would have been better if they improved the character's characterization, at least with a male wig (since it really has a magical effect). Is it to maintain the actress's beauty?

The cinematography was beautiful, set design and all. I think it is too soon to give an opinion about the story because this was just an introduction. I am watching this because it gives me vibes like ''The untamed'', which i love so we will see.

So I dumped Demon Girl for Eternal Love. Demon Girl was awful. However, it had one thing going for it that I think Eternal Love could really use. Clearly needs. The beginning introduction that introduces readers to the world and lore behind it. AKA the most important part of any Epic/High Fantasy creations (*cough*BOOKS*cough*) the glorious PRELUDE!!!?
Because boy is Eternal Love got a lot going. (Which if I might say Ice Fantasy did a wonderful job at introducing characters, world, and lore right off the bat.) So far I understand that there is the Heavenly Father. Whom I assume is the supreme leader. Our leading lady, Bai Qian, is a White Fox Spirit . . . which is under the status of a God. So Bai Qian was being mentored by a phoenix spirit, but was then signed up to be the disciple to God of War. The God of War is apparently high up on the hierarchy as he is Heavenly Father's first wife's son. Apparently for 20,000 years she chills as a man,being called Si Yin, because only men are allowed on the mountain where the God of War is. There's a mortal realm and other creatures. Apparently Ghosts are the enemy.
Not bad piecing things together? Right! I wonder if this is Chinese lore that is basic, so they don't feel the need to expand upon it. Though clearly dramas are seen every where so it just seems lazy not to try and clue people in.
Si Yin is kidnapped and things are heavily implied that God of War has the hots for "him." Also, he new from the beginning that Si Yin is woman. We get an exciting battle from the kidnapping and other interactions. There's a mysterious lotus introduced weirdly at the end. Which their better be a continuation on or that was just . . . and odd add.
Overall I think people who are not use to reading epic fantasy may not be able to follow this well or start to piece things together. I'm starting to see why my drama friend suggested I give it 6 episodes, or a bit more, before making a decision on this show. It's dense.

Honestly, I set there watching this first episode being EXTREMELY confused by everything that was happening, from the setting to the characters. I won't mention plot because it doesn't appear we have gotten to what's this series is going to be about yet.
From this episode, I know who our main character is. I don't know a lot about her and I am very shaky about who she is exactly in terms of titles in this series, as well as what's her family situation is exactly, but I can recognize her face so that's great (haha)
I know the Master is pretty cool and I like his character, and that we have gods and disciples and celestial clans (?) and ghost clans (?) and all these things are words on paper I don't really understand.
All that being said, I AM looking forward to continuing with this one since I am intrigued enough to want to figure out this world.
So, as far as first episodes go, this was a mixed bag. It did serve to intrigue, but it also felt very messy and shaky.

Actually, I have watched the drama but still don't have time to rate. So, now I'm gonna rate this drama 10 out of 10. It was a great drama ever
