Eternal Love has built a real following in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. With 67 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Yang Mi sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Eternal Love earns its spot. What makes Eternal Love work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. Three hundred years ago, Bai Qian stood on the Zhu Xian Terrace, turned around and jumped off without regret. Ye Hua stood by the bronze mirror to witness with his own eyes her death. Three hundred years later, in the East Sea Dragon Palace, the two meet unexpectedly. Yang Mi and Mark Chao lead a cast that makes the ambitious moments land. It first aired in 2017. What separates Eternal Love from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give Eternal Love a chance. Till The End of The Moon is the obvious comparison, but Eternal Love earns its own place alongside it. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Watch for Yang Mi in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.

Eternal Love wrapped up in 2017 — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
