A breathtaking story
So far, the most beautiful love story. After watching Eternal love (prequel), I felt there was no justice to Dong Hua and Fengjiu. This show came as a blessing. Such a moving love story. It took a while to get the chemistry going but it was totally worth it. Made me laugh, cry and love. The actors were brilliant, the story is outstanding. A huge praise to the writers, actors, producers and whole crew working on the project. Every aspect of the show deserves a praise. Definitely will rewatch it after some time. I only wish there is another season to continue this story.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
It lives up to its hype!
This continues the story of Dong Hua & Feng Jiu from Eternal Love. When Eternal Love was being produced they didn’t have the rights to this story yet. So in Eternal Love they just made up a fictitious storyline for them. But in The Pillow Book they follow the book pretty closely. So just be aware that their story here is different and doesn’t pick up where it left off in Eternal Love. But don’t let that put you off. It’s an excellent drama well worth watching.Things that I liked:
Dilraba Dilmurat’s portrayal of a fox is spot on perfect. She’s so adorable! And I usually hate watching girls act cute but she just does such a good job of it. And the chemistry between her and Vengo Gao is off the charts just like in Eternal Love. It’s takes a while for them to get together but when they do there are lots of sweet moments for you romance lovers. There’s lots of real kisses, cuddles, flirting, and skinship. But what’s so great about this drama is that it’s way more than just romance. It has an amazing storyline. There’s political intrigue, great fight scenes, birth secrets, and warring gods. It’s a perfect combination of a deep period drama and a romance drama. It’s well paced with great music. I liked that the sad or angsty parts of the story didn’t get stretched out too long. They were there and they certainly got me more invested in the drama but they weren’t overdone to where I was stressed out and upset.
Things I didn’t like:
The storyline was quite similar to Eternal Love. It starts out with a Dong Hua having an adopted sister that’s obsessed with him just like Ye Hua had in Eternal Love. Then in the mortal realm Dong Hua has a love trial with Feng Jiu (and she has to break his heart) just like in Eternal Love. And yes, it was even harder the second time watching them suffer. Then of course there’s the evil being that’s locked up and trying to break free and destroy the world just like in Eternal Love. It’s eerily similar to Eternal Love and it made me wish it was a little different and more original. But I guess it’s really not their fault because they were just following the story written in the book.
That being said, it’s still an excellent drama that’s in my top 20 dramas and I’ve literally watched hundreds of them. Any drama that can take a similar storyline and make me love it this much has got to be great! It was well acted and the characters had so much depth and growth. It was well worth my time watching the full 56 episodes without skipping a single second. (Which is rare for me.) I liked that all of the questions were answered and there were no loose ends or open endings. And it didn’t kill off a bunch of beloved characters or make me sad or cry at the end like a lot of Chinese period dramas tend to do lately. It’s just a really good overall drama that never has a dull moment and gives you tons of characters that you enjoy and get invested in. I would highly recommend watching this drama.

The drama was really good in terms of acting and romances type, however, the story was a bit to understand at first until you watch further to understand why things were done that way. Love the romances between the character, the ending was amazing but wish they would've shown more of the family ending because it seems like it was so hard for the two main characters to get together. But the happy family only had like 10-15mins of the family time showing in the drama. I could understand the whole story without watching the other drama and it's a totally different story.

Feng Jiu and Di Jun Redemption
Eternal Love was great for Bai Qian and Ye Hua but HORRIBLE to Feng Jiu and Di Jun. Honestly only them in the mortal realm was cute (until the bath scene).Anyways, I’m so happy I found Eternal Love of Dream bcuz I was always heart broken about their tragic love story (or lack thereof), and THIS gives all the feels. It wouldn’t have been the same without Dilraba Dilmurat and Gao Wei Guang! Dilraba is Feng Jiu personified and Di Jun is actually allowed to portray emotion and love towards Feng Jiu (and so hot with the white hair lmao). I think the most tragic arc was Aranya’s Dream, but the CGI and set was so beautiful that even when I was crying I’d be shocked and appreciating the set lol.
Rewatch value is high because the different arcs are so fascinating that new details pop out with each rewatch. Some shows it feels that the number of episodes could be reduced without really impacting storyline but with Eternal Love of Dream I found myself wishing for more!!

It is one of the best dramas I’ve seen ... the story was how the women got from a young women to a adult, how she grow with the love and life lesion she made ... the Male actor was also amazing of how he opened his Heard- and got a great husband ... all other actors wow it was all so well and exiting to watch every single episode ... the chemistry from the main actors was amazing and they grow with every episode ... the music was also great and I rewatched it already 3 time this time is now translated in Germain and so I can understand everything very clear ... this will be shure a must see for Fantasie fans but also you can learn about life lessons and that everything belong to a relationship not only honeymoon... it’s Hard work every day ...

Breath of Fresh Air
Contemplating for days whether I should write a review for a drama I have re-watched numerous times since it aired. To be honest, I do not know how to review this, not because of it flaws, but I have nothing to complain about. Literally NOTHING!ETERNAL LIFE OF DREAM (The Pillowbook) is damn good!
I really enjoyed this drama, so much, even more than the parents story (aka eternal love). The first drama for years that make me rewatch God knows how many time within months and I still can't move on.
Story wise, the drama followed the novel to the core. And it is a great adaptation. It was a breath of fresh air in this situation as everyone is stressing over virus and this drama manages to captures heart of millions because of how light-hearted it is. The romance between leads are very cute and sweet, you feel like snuggle between them!
But obviously , the main reason is THE CAST!
They were all that great you won't believe they are actors. They drew you into their stories as if you were really there and feels what they felt.
Salute to Vengo who did great in potraying 3 diff characters that feel like 3 diff persons. Vengo really exceeded my expectation and he has become one of my fav actor as of this moment!
Dilraba is also so beautiful and cute that I can't stop admiring her cuteness.
For this two main reason alone, rewatching value for me is high and let me tell you, for someone who rarely rewatch any movies and dramas, I have rewatched this drama 3-4times during quarantine (and the quarantine has not ended yet so I think I will get back and rewatch it again now, duh).
Just go watch, and rate later. I think you will also enjoy the ride well, the very least adding more giggles in your life at this time is a bonus!

My most rewatched C-Drama
What an absolute joy to have watched this series in my life.THE THINGS I LOVED THE MOST
The Music: There is something so special about the music in this drama. From the xylophone melodies to the orchestral accompaniment of scenes, it was done to perfection. Rarely does a drama get it so right like they did here.
The relationship between Feng Jiu and Dong Hua: It's not your conventional romance. Through the different sagas you get to see admiration, first love, playful moments, childish jealousy, working together and sweet words of innocence. This series provides such a wonderful spectrum of experiences for both the main leads. At times I heavily related to their experiences and cried my eyes out, and other times I simply smiled ear to ear from their interactions.
The Humor: Rarely do we get so many funny moments out of a C-Drama, but they really "knocked it out of the park" with this one. Simply a joy to watch.
WHAT I DIDN'T LOVE
Ji Heng: Most of the cast provide a stellar performance, however one character that just was "not it" was Ji Heng. I am yet to hear anything positive about this blank-face, conflict-creating, screen-stealing character. Obviously she served a role, but upon re-watching, I skip most of her scenes. Xiao Yan's friendship with Feng Jiu was delightfully entertaining, but his relationship with Ji Heng was cliché and dry as toast.
Despite the character Ji Heng , Eternal Love of Dream is as good as a perfect series as I have watched, and a strong 10/10 from me. Would highly recommend people give it a go to see if it's something they also love.

This is an ideal type of drama which is included with everything. Unbelievably fantasized.
Story :
"The drama depicts the love story of Bai Feng Jiu and Dong Hua Di Jun,
that spans 2000 years. Feng Jiu, the queen of Qing Qiu, is the only red
nine-tailed fox in Qing Qiu and thus being pampered by everyone. She
loves to cry and to throw tantrums but is also persistent and brave. One
day, when Feng Jiu is in the mountains for cultivation, a beast attacks her.
Luckily, the former Emperor of Heaven Dong Hua passes by at this moment
and saves her. To pay the debt of gratitude, Feng Jiu follows Dong Hua
who goes to fight the rebelling Demon Lord. Feng Jiu soon realizes that
gratitude has turned into love, however, Dong Hua already forgot what love
is. In order to keep her safe, Dong Hua sends Feng Jiu to the mortal realm,
but the guardian he sends together with her unexpectedly dies. While trying
to find the immortal fruit that can let her be reborn, Feng Jiu enters the
temple of the ghost princess"

GRUMPY BOYFRIEND X SUNSHINE GIRLFRIEND must watch!
my fengjiu, i have never loved a cdrama character like the way i loved bai fengjiu. dijun and fengjiu are perfect and their love story is so beautiful. the slowburn and angst was so worth it, their chemistry was insane and i'm glad we got 56 episodes of swoon worthy moments.Another wonderful thing to watch was the character growth both donghua dijun and bsi fengjiu went through. fengjiu went from her childish and naive countenance to a queen who could hold her own. donghua learned to accept love for what it is and opened up his heart for the woman he loved.
i was fully satisfied with my grumpy boyfriend x sunshine girlfriend trope here. ❤️
