I don’t know how many of you guys are keeping up with Eternal Love 三生三世十里桃花 but I’m on episode 26 and the angst is in full blast. It’s hard to watch the heartbreaking developments but even harder to keep away, so it’s a much needed reprieve to come across some behind the scenes footage that are too funny not to share.
It’s nice to see that beneath the heavy drama is a cast of goofballs finding laughter in between takes. And yes, Yang Mi (Les Interpretes) adopted her cat co-star who was given the name Shi Xiong aka Martial Senior by Mark Chao (The Warriors Gate).
Warning: Do not scroll down if you don’t want to see gag reels of scenes you haven’t seen before.
Mark Chao is utterly defeated by Yang Mi’s one line, “Does the Dong Huang Bell have the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the lands?” MC: Laughs his head off
Master and student learn the art of the crazy snake kung fu created by none other than Master Mo Yuan himself when he’s not in character that is.
After being asked whether he had a hard time filming the scene where gulps down water repeatedly, Alan Yu Menglong shares that he was thirsty to begin with.
Superman Vengo Gao carries Dilraba Dilmurat and drops her?!
The real reason why Ye Hua does not love Su Jin is because she can’t do her job properly.
Mark Chao and Yang Mi experience a wedding day of many mishaps but at least they’ve got adorable hand warmers.
Mark Chao brushes his teeth before a kissing scene because that’s what movie stars do. Unequipped with a toothbrush of her own, Yang Mi jokes about bringing on the garlic instead.
The entire cast wishes everyone a happy new year by rapping.

Hi Anne,
I have been lurking on your website for quite some times now. (Hope that won't make me sound like a creep :D) Anyway, I'm really in love with this drama. I loved the book and can't be happier that the dram adaption came out this good given that most of the drama adaptions usually disappointed me.
Anyway, I just want to know how this drama is doing in China. Are the ratings good? Because it's really popular in other countries now and even if we can't understand Chinese (The subbing is pretty slow in DramaFever), we can't help watching the raw episodes. Having read the book before really help me here. 😀

Hi there, lurkers always welcome but glad you jumped in to comment:) I can't agree more with the recent dramas, ended up dropping most of the ones I started so I'm really only watching Three Lives and it's so good!! i don't read the novel so I haven no idea what's gonna happen next (crosses fingers that the worse is over).
Last I checkedm it is number one in rankings already, which wasn't always the case since it had to climb its way there from #3 and #4. Either way, it's definitely a highly talked about show:) Am planning to discuss how it's doing on the c-drama ratings post for the month as well so please watch for it:)

Thanks for the update, I sure agree with the comment above, I was watching it as well on raw version as the book helped alot in understanding the scenes even though I can't understand mandarin, I'm from NJ btw and I love this drama, the main lead has undeniable onscreen chemistry even though I know they are both already married. They look so good together on screen. I watch the spoofs too and I have fun watching them get playful on set. Such an amazing cast. Love it!!!

I've read the novel to help me better understand the raw version since the subbed is very far behind. It's funny, I've seen actors and actresses in modern drama too but I think they look the best in these kind of drama in my opinion. I'm loving it so far and hoping for subbed version to finish so then I can really watch it. Though, I do wish that the vids above was subbed. They look like they were having a lot of fun and joking around but I couldn't understand it.

Totally agree with all the above comments…This is by far the most PERFECTLY paired Lead Stars of all time YANG MI and MARK CHAO. Their roles were rightfully tailor-made for them – very rare in most dramas and their appeal (power to attract) were mind-blowing. It will not be a surprise if Three Worlds Three Lives garners loads of highly prestigious awards all over. Its absolutely a mega hit in many countries all over the world.
