Jun Mian Shi Tao Hua (2024)

A drama I wouldn’t recommend watching…

(Paragraph comments and visuals + acting has spoilers/a little bit of info about of the female leads character.)

A mini drama without rush but is extra slow. Just like the other reviews I’ve written, I’d say don’t add this to the top of your list unless you really want to watch it.

Comments - I do agree with some comments about the female lead being weak especially since she is a general plus the male lead finds out she is not a male within the first few days of meeting.

Duration - On YouTube, the 26 episodes are shortened to 7 episodes, each around 40 minutes instead of 10. A full version is around 4 hours.

Story - The mini drama is about love between a general and a musician. The whole drama was boring from the start with little going on. Around episode 10, the drama was really tiring to watch and I was going to drop it. However I’ve been writing the review as I was watching it so I had to finish it.

Visuals and acting - The visuals are average for a mini drama. I didn’t really like the outfits for the male actors except for a few but the females Hanfu are pretty.

Genre - There isn’t much to say about the genre. It’s just a historical romance with minimal love.

Music - I don’t know whether the drama has a theme song during the opening because it could have been cropped off. The YouTube channel cuts off some tune during the drama too although some is still there a few in other scenes.

Extras - For me, I felt like most of the drama was really cheap. Even though it’s a mini drama, there are some with better quality I’ve watched.

Overall - I wouldn’t recommend this drama unless you want a cheap and boring drama. It’s my opinion and it’s up to you to judge whether to watch it or not. If you’re planning on watching it, I’d recommend doing something at the same time.

I watched mine on YouTube. Search “Pavilion Secrets” and it will show up, by SENTV English | C-Drama. There is the option of episodes or full version.

Happy watching! 💝
