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.

A thrilling blend of fantasy and humor
Guardians of the Dafeng is a captivating mix of fantasy, mystery and humor, Dylan Wang shines as Xu Qi'an, a modern-day investigator transported to a magical world filled with demons and intrigue.His blend of wit and determination brings the character to life making every case-solving moment engaging. Tian Xiwei as Princess Lin'an adds depth and charm, creating a dynamic duo that elevates the series. The chemistry between them feels natural and their interactions are both heartwarming and entertaining.
The show's production quality is top-notch with stunning visuals that bring the Dafeng Dynasty to life. The blend of traditional and supernatural elements creates a rich, immersive world.
The pacing is well-balanced, with each episode unveiling new mysteries and character developments. While some may find certain plot points predictable, the overall execution and character arcs more than make up for it. I enjoyed the drama from start to finish, and I will definitely rewatch it again.
