三生三世十里桃花 (Once Upon Aa Time) is an 2017 film out of Zhong Guo. The movie stars Liu Yifei and Yang Yang. The movie is based on a novel of the same Zhong Wen name. Another drama series called Eternal Love was based on the same story.
Liu Yifei plays Bai Qian, a fox ferry that lives in seclusion and dreams of her lover. Ye Hua, played by Yang Yang, who belives Bai Qian is his long lost lover Su Su. Ye pays Bai a visit and tries to figure her out. They eventually fall for each other and go to the heavenly city. There, past lives and responsibilities and politics come into play. Can these two lovers that could be from multiple generations still find love?
I saw this movie at a local AMC back in the summer of 2017. Besides both protagonist being extremely good looking people, I found it hard to watch the movie. During the movie, two couples walked out. I have thought to do that before I think I have, just couldn't for this film. Liu and Yang are too beautiful to not watch. Even if the story sucks.
Update from December 27, 2018: I watched Eternal Love via Netflix this month. It was 58 episodes and does a way better job of telling this story. To even attempt to tell it via a movie seems silly. Goto Netflix now and watch "Eternal Love", skip the movie.
