Eternal Love
of Dream is the sequel to the immensely popular "Eternal Love- Ten Miles
of Peach Blossoms" in 2017. I am extremely happy and excited to be
watching the new series during the Lunar New Year period. It has began airing
on Viu OTT streaming platform at the same time as new episodes are being
released in mainland China. It is a welcome distraction to the numerous
unfortunate news coming out from Wuhan China. Life is filled with
unpredictability similar to the poignant story-lines being depicted in Eternal
Love.
Just to add
on, even though this is a sequel to the 2017 Eternal Love, it does not exist in
the same universe albeit the characters are more or less the same. Even the
beautiful Yang Mi will make a guest appearance as the famous and popular Bai
Qian (Empress of Qing Qiu) along other stars. The main storyline in Pillow Book
revolves around the love story of Dong Hua (The Earth Emperor) and Bai Feng Jiu
(The nine-tailed red fox and Princess of Qing Qiu)- a love that will never bear
fruit as Dong Hua's destiny does not have any love lines in it.
The starting scene of the story opened with a big bang over the eternal fight between Good and Evil. 30 thousand years ago, Dong Hua lead the army of the Heavenly forces in a final show down with the demonic forces of Miao Luo (Demon Supreme or rather Demon Queen). It was a hard fought battle with lots of casualties on both sides. As both Dong Hua and Miao Luo are beings with high level of spiritual cultivation and extremely powerful, they were unable to destroy one another and the fight ended in stalemate. However, at the final moment, Dong Hua's sword managed to pierce through the chest of the Miao Luo and he used the sacred "Ling Bi Stone" to seal away her soul in order to preserve the peace across the 4 Seas and 6 Realms but at the expense of much of his spiritual power.
30 thousand years later, the beautiful Bai Feng Jiu of Qing Qiu accidentally ventured into the Demonic land ruled by 3 demond lords. Bai Feng Jiu was nearly captured by the demon lords but Dong Hua appeared in the nick of time and saved her. Since young, Bai Feng Jiu has heard a lot about the hero Dong Hua and wanted to be with him. After owing her life to Dong Hua, Bai Feng Jiu was even more determined to be with Dong Hua. The story then goes on to talk about the different love lives during Dong Hua's reincarnation in the earthly realm while trying to recover his cultivation and serious injury sustained in the sealing off of Miao Luo who is getting stronger and attempting to breakout of the Ling Bi Stone prison.
A love that is impossible and never meant to be is a tragic story-line spanning across three different lives in three different worlds. If perseverance will be in vain for an unobtainable love, why would anyone use up his or her entire life only to wait for the fateless inevitable outcome? Eternal Love of Dream has a wonderful cast and awesome special effects. Highly recommend this great serial to all.
