Agree totally with you! It's all about side characters at this point in the drama :(

Yes I have watched closely. But I was hoping he will change after getting out of the yi qi alliance and become a more interesting character. I have nothing against Cheng yi, but the character fugui is written quite poorly.

Please do not come at me in full force! I absolutely loved Love in Pavilion! I have rewatched the drama so many times! I loved all the main and side characters!
LIP is an epic love drama and Wangquan Hongye and Dongfang Huazui were the dream couple! I was so excited for sword and beloved, because I am a huge li yi tong fan.
But this drama is so damn disappointing. Wangquan fugui from SAB does not hold a candle to Wangquan Hongye depiction in LIP. Even Qing tong as a character is very sad for a FL. I'm not sure if it was intentional for ML to be depicted as some kind of emotionless robot throughout the whole drama. At this point the side characters in this drama are more interesting than the mains!
I'm just so disappointed because my expectations were so high after LIP. I think many users in the comments have not watched LIP, and are wondering if they should watch, my recommendation is to please watch it. Love in Pavilion is in my top 3 favorite dramas of 2025 along with 'A dream within a dream' and 'Fated hearts'.

Agree, Im only going off of whatever has made it to the final cut. But they've really done mu Yu mo character bad! Seems like she's always chasing tang Lin Yue and he doesn't give any s*** about her after they parted. I really wish they don't end up together and MYM gets back her back bone.

Where did zhong chun ji disappear? Hasn't made an appearance in the last 4 episodes, am i missing something?

Please watch love in pavilion! It's my favourite historical drama of 2025 and explains so much about wangquan hongye and what made him the way he is.

I seem to be the only one here who cares about bao sheng en character based on comments 😅
Love her character! I know there's no romance, but I'm kinda shipping her with that commander yu, my foolish heart is hoping for some enemies to lovers trope.

I'm not following the rest of the drama, I'm literally only watching for peng xiao ran and fast forwarding to her scenes, and then realized there's barely any scenes with her till episode 19, mid way point!
Can only hope there's more to her role in second half!

Thanks, my sub translation showed son, heir makes more sense!

Hello, in episode 8 they said Zhang Qi is Zhang zeng's son, who died with wangquan hongye at battle outside the border. He was played by Ding yuxi in love in pavillion. But Zhang Zheng and Qing Mu yuan both died in LIP, they weren't married. How did he suddenly have a son? What am I missing?

She's not poison girl, she's the rabbit assassin of blood river but even poison girl gets more screen time than the "FL" by rank!

Yup, more like a guest role in initial episodes! Such a bummer!

Ah, I love Bao Shan en, excited for her sudden rise in popularity and roles she's getting. I know she's just a support cast here, but is there any chance of a romantic pairing between her and another support cast?

I don't even mind no romance, but it's my first experience with such kind of drama where FL has barely any screen time. I will keep my expectations in check when it comes to these kinda wuxia dramas going forward.

Yes, I'm finally learning this now, I will keep my expectations in check when it comes to these kinda dramas going forward.. I will have my fill of her from the promotions rather than the drama!

Watched till episode 12, I am so disappointed with peng xiao ran screen time so far. It's even less screen time than a support lead, forget a main lead role. It's very misleading that she's billed as main lead when she's clearly not! I was so excited to finally see her drama after long, guess I'll have to keep waiting and hopefully next time she's actually the main lead.

Omg, who is this guy? He is so so so hot, and peng Xiao ran is gorgeous as ever! Prettiest woman of blood river! It's episode 4 and he's already bending over backwards trying to protect her even though it's obvious she's stalling for time.

ML, for sure! Quite early actually, it took him some time to realize though , but his actions were clear.

Yes!

Thanks, she still has a bigger role than Bai he huai right?
