To watch it in Singapore (legally) head over to Asian drama site Viu, where the first 10 episodes have been uploaded.
The catch? Only the first three episodes are free.
For subsequent episodes, viewers will have to pay S$7.98 per month for access.
Here's a synopsis of the first episode:
"Dong Hua is the Emperor of the Three Realms, taking charge of life and death among the six worlds. The Princess of Qingqiu, Fengjiu, is an admirer of him since long ago. One day, Fengjiu accidentally lands on the Forbidden Land. Dong Hua, who is in Tai Chen Palace, senses the instability, thus arrives to check what happened. On his way, Dong Hua saves Fengjiu from the beast..."
The first episode aired on Jan. 22, and the entire series will run for 60 episodes, according to Wikipedia. Other sources put it at 56 episodes, though.
Vengo Gao plays Donghua Dijun while Dilraba Dilmurat plays Bai Fengjiu.
As of 2018, "Eternal Love" is reportedly the most-watched TV series in China with 50 billion views, which explains the hype for its sequel.
If you want to wait till all the episodes are out before starting on it (wise choice), here's the trailer:
If you're not caught up with the hype, however, you can watch the first series "Eternal Love" on Netflix.
