Pretty to look at but the leads didn’t quite win me over
Love in Pavilion has some gorgeous visuals and a fantasy world that’s fun to get lost in, but honestly, the leads left me a little frustrated at times.
FL is elegant and strong on paper but sometimes her acting feels a bit stiff or overly dramatic which made it hard to connect with her character in emotional scenes.
ML is charming but he can come off a little flat or too serious, and their chemistry doesn’t always hit the mark, some of their romantic moments felt awkward instead of natural.
The story itself is beautiful and the production is impressive with costumes and a magical vibe that really pulls me in. But pacing is uneven and a lot of middle episodes drag with repetitive or predictable plot points. Some supporting characters are underdeveloped and certain plot twists feel convenient rather than earned. While it’s still enjoyable for the fantasy world and story concept, the FL and ML performances sometimes hold it back from being truly amazing. It definitely could have been stronger with more consistent leads.
