I've just started this series and somehow it feels off to me.

I don't know what seems off. I don't think it's the voice of the casts here since i know for sure bailu's dubbed. is it the setting? the introduction? I can't seem to pinpoint. but another thing that seems off to me is the make up. 😂😂 I think there's something wrong with the make up. or maybe I'm just looking at this too closely.

how's everyone finding this drama so far? I'm only in the 1st 16 minutes of EP 1. and I do feel confused about this.

but even when she and Minmin were both single and unmarried, they had this weird hair up styles. 😂😂😂 which is so weird for me but thank Goodness for their visuals coz the hair looks like a minor part but still I would've loved it if their hair was more of just a hair down but I also understand that it's part of their dynasty and every dynasty women had some significant meanings over their hairstyles. just that I wished they were in a different dynasty instead and had the better hairstyle ones. 😂😭

I really have no other comments since this dramas is just pretty much a decent watch with really good visual casts but am I the only one hating the haistyles in this?? I understand this is in a particular dynasty but among those I've watched, I really am not a fan of the hairstyles of the women during this era. LOL. It's horrible. Aside from that everything is just fine.

of course, the story has to start with Manman being the bride for Wei Shao but the very moment Manman offered herself to be Wei Shao's bride and sacrificed herself just to make sure her cousin lives a great life, I already felt annoyed. LOL.

like why can she have a good life but not the main character? this is exactly my initial thoughts and well, it had to happen that way but I'm still annoyed. 😂😂

honestly? her dying was one of the best parts in this show. the satisfaction I felt after all those frustrating times I had to gaslight myself that she's still good coz Manman loves her.

First off, let me start by saying, I hate the part where she shows up in this story. Understandably, she needed to be shown because of Bi Zhi and she had relevance to the whole plot as well but she ircks me every single time.

I completely lost it when she refused to help Manman. At some point, I know I had to understand how she thinks and feels but oh boy.

The ending episode made me yell, "YES! You need to die!!!" It felt like FINALLY, YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS WHEN YOUR COUSIN WAS HOPELESS.

I don't feel sorry for her at all. I'm just glad that in this drama, she already had the baby before she died so the kid can still live.

That's all. More than the villains here, I just think she pissed me off the most in this story. Maybe it's just me hating her so much because it feels like I expect her to be both a beauty and brains like her Cousin, Manman.

But woman like her irritates me in this storyline especially knowing she is a QIAO. Even if you don't like it, even if you want a peaceful life, you can never achieve it in the expense of someone else's peace. She is of novelty blood so whether she likes it or not, she has the responsibility both to her people and to her family.

It might be fine if she was an ordinary person but she isn't.

now that this series is done, let me rate it a 1000/10.

but also, let me share my thoughts on Man man's cousin Qiao Fan.

Lol. they're just genuinely so cute. ahahhaha.

Yeah, that's why I was a little hesitant in starting this. And I'm a fan of Go Younjung so I wanted to watch this to support her. It just gives me the ick somehow. And it's due to my beliefs and teachings both from my culture and even laws from my country so it's a bit of a concern. ahahhaha.

why am I so Invested to the chubby couple's love life. 😂😂😂😂😂

yeah, from where I am from it does get a bit tricky as well when it comes to gatherings so we're really restricted on that aspect. they sort of just want a single association for the entire bloodline somehow but that's not the major part of why we're against it but definitely one of the reasons. then again, there are cases definitely that this happens in my culture but more so, if someone did double In laws, they move out of the country to avoid being shamed (at least one of the couples involved)thank you for sharing insights!

it happens i know but kind of not accepted somehow in my culture and country and so is deemed wrong. So i wanted to know if it's morally and legally okay in South Korea because personally, I don't like that kind of set up/relationship. And that's just on me. And As I said to another comment here, I am trying to set proper expectations so I wouldn't get turned off just coz of that.

I see. because so far in my culture and country, we really and explicitly do not allow relationships between inlaws. So it seems like for me, I'm trying to understand the overall relationships between them so I can set proper expectations to myself and not get turned off on this drama just coz of that. But if anyone can better explain if this is something common, I'm all open to see more discussion.

Quick spoilers for me who loves intimate and kissy scenes, will there be any in this series? can someone spoil?

I honestly haven't watched this show yet and will just about to start to (considering I was one of the few people who was excited to watch this before it got all postponed for airing due to the doctor's strike), but I do really need spoilers.

1. If Yiyong's sister and the brother of Do won are married, that makes Yiyong and Dowon in laws right? Isn't that morally wrong to be inlove with your inlaws?? at least in Korean society? Am I wrong or is the information I got wrong?

2. EP where Yiyong and Dowon got together?

3. overall theme? is it focused on just yiyong or is everyone highlighted?

same thoughts.. I'm trying to find her but couldn't seem to find any information

same here!! I feel like they do not have any chemistry at all and it somehow threw me off knowing the FL there raised the ML. I know it's supposed to be normal in their world (the age gaps) but it feels so wrong to witness him grow into a man and fall in love to the lady who basically raised him. 😂 but just watching since their world and timeline will be in the same space as Fu Gui's.

the future they went to was one of the possible scenarios in the future. it's like it's going to be inevitable (about the deaths) but how they died or were saved can still change still the outcome remains the same.

it will not have a happy ending because the end of the story happens to the next fox spirit matchmaker story. This one was the beginning of it all story so it will naturally end with disasters and deaths.

I dropped red moon pact because I couldn't just relate to the characters at all, but now that I'm done with Love in Pavillion, I might as well go back to the red moon pact story so I could prepare myself fully for when Fu Gui's story comes in. I hope they air it this year. even if it's October or November as long as it's this year. 😭😭😭

it's kinda of like, Fu gui is one of the reasons Huaizhu died. I mean, aside from the shortening of her lifespan which happened because of Jin Refeng(?), childbirth can also put risks to any mothers out there. Hong Ye loved Huaizhu more than anyone else (more than his son). So I guess, he will mistreat Fu Gui as he grows older coz Huaizhu wanted their son to be the best and strongest swordsman. kind of like, pain makes you stronger belief for Hong Ye..

for now, we could say, he's going to be one of the villains but I'm also guessing they'll be more.
