Subject: Initial Reaction to "Love in the Pavilion" Trailer and Early StorylineHaving recently come across the trailer for "Love in the Pavilion" on Instagram, I felt compelled to share my initial reaction to what I've seen. The visual presentation and the overall atmosphere hinted at an engaging story, and I was certainly drawn in by the premise.
