I believe the last two have a better storyline and more action vs cgi. I think these two will be a lot better.
Yes, Sword and Beloved happens around the same time with Red Moon Pact bcos both are telling the stories of the second generation. Love in Pavilion is the parent story.
The lead in Love in Pavilion (Wangquan Hongye/Zhang Yunlong and Dongfang Huaizhu/Liu Shishi), are the parents of the ML in Sword and Beloved (Wangquan Fugui/Cheng Yi).
Dongfang Huaizhu's sister, Dongfang Qinlan (Shen Yue), is the mother of the ML in Red Moon Pact (Dongfang Yuechu/Gong Jun).
It is confusing 😅 that's why people made characters charts to sort out their relationships.
1. The usual enemies to lovers troupe but it turns out to be a misunderstanding. 2. The FL is illiterate!!! It's been a long time since I've seen such a stupid FL after Xiao Yanzi 🤦♀️ Her father was a general who became Grand Tutor, yet she can't even read??? Was she raised by lions? 3. The FL turns into a clumsy, weak and useless girl who can be beaten in just 1 move. 4. In just 6 eps, she said the word "kill" for more than 20 times! I actually lost count. She talks big, but doesn't have the ability to do anything! 5. FL can only throw shuriken without actual moves, unlike in the first eps. I thought she was the top assassin? 6. Sometimes it feels like ML is raising a dog instead of having a gf bcos she keeps barking. 7. Except ML, Mo Wei and the empress, other characters are so dumb and childish.
Idk how did I survive watching it until the end 😑
In summary, this is a comedy drama with slight mystery. The plot is to uncover the truth about the incident 16 years ago.
Idk why I decided to watch this, but turns out it is enjoyable! It is the enemies to lovers troupe, just like any other mini drama.
1. FL is cool and strong, and she doesn't get weak and useless like any other drama when she faces the ML. She is still strong, wary, and capable. She does her own thing and doesn't budge a bit. 2. ML is reasonable, kind and a bit flirtatious. 3. It is a very lighthearted drama with a lot of comedy. 4. The fighting scenes are well done! 5. The main boss doesn't feel like main boss. 6. The drama is mostly about the couple get to know e/o before they finally become official. 7. This drama is just 5-7 mins per eps! 8. Both leads are stunning, the hanfu are pretty and the intimate scenes are so nicely shot. 9. The ending... it is reasonable considering her character.
It is recommended if you want a lighthearted drama with equally strong leads and cute second couple.
Oh my heart broke for this 2nd couple, they didn’t deserve this fate
The novel is WAY better than the drama. Idk why the screenwriter changed the story. Both couples have HE in the novel.
Mingyue was sold to the palace when she was 12. But 2 years later she was sent to cold palace and was saved by Zui. She changed her identity and Tinghan promised to propose when Li Chi met her and plotted to marry her!
Li Chi and Mingyue got married. He even gave amnesia drugs to Mingyue. But he eventually truly fell in love with her. She gained her memories back and helped Zui to ascend the throne. She then committed suicide, but was saved again. She gave birth to a daughter.
Zui became the emperor and claimed Mingyue as his lost sister. Therefore he granted her princess status and married her to Tinghan. They then have another son. Happy ending!
I assume the screenwriter and director hate Mingyue so they scratched her whole story and killed her in the drama.
I believe the last two have a better storyline and more action vs cgi. I think these two will be a lot better.
This one was filmed after Red Moon Pact. It is indeed a prequel. Love in Pavilion has a sad ending bcos FL dies after giving birth. The third installment, Sword and Beloved happens in the same timeline with Red Moon Pact.
The son born by the FL in Love in Pavilion is the ML in Sword and Beloved. While the ML on Red Moon Pact is his cousin.
Lol I did! Somehow they all appeared on my timeline! But now that I'm watching, I've been wondering in what eps should I stop. I want to save my eyes, you know...
She did... She went to see the FL and mentioned that the injury might even lead to paralysis. She also said she…
I'd say 5 eps on the pretending, while the rest is real feelings. Then from ep 17/18 the cold war started. And oh He Zhen was mumbling as well, so reluctant to say the words. You know, when someone is so reluctant, you won't even bother to listen.
Btw I don't like how Zhao Quan didn't tell Miantang that Xingzhou is seriously injured after saving a kid. He was mumbling, even asked He Zhen as a mediator. Really? He Zhen would never say anything for Xingzhou's sake.
homaygahd why r they still pushing the brother and the fl ...
I think it is meant to be the setup of why Shin is so in love with Juyeon. Perhaps after that, the writer will either make Shin the obsessive guy who tries to steal back Juyeon, or the bad guy who tries to hurt Goon. Perhaps before, he didn't hurt Goon, it was an accident, but after Juyeon and Goon start dating, Shin will really hurt Goon.
It must be me but reading the comments I feel that I'm watching a different drama, I don't understand this hate…
Bravo! I love your explanation! You are one of the few viewers who watch the drama objectively 👍🏻 I said this last week or so. All 4 characters are not flawless bcos they are humans. Currently except Saeyan, the other three have traumatic past which resulted in their current state. Lonely, isolated, fear. Every human just need one person who is on your side for you to survive even the hardest storm.
Btw about their mom. Since Goon became a broken trophy, their mom is forcing Shin to fulfill her unfinished desire to produce a top athlete. She was a former athlete and she wants Shin to be her puppet and trophy. Thanks to her selfish desire, Goon lost his place and Shin lost his freedom. Even the ceo mocks at Goon and sees Shin as gold mine. If the father has the guts to discipline his wife, their family wouldn't end up like that.
I think this is the first time in a drama that both leads are tsundere! They keep arguing bcos they won't admit their inner feelings. Typical tsundere, always speak the opposite of the meanings 🙄 Being a fan of anime for more than 20 years, one paragraph isn't enough to explain how much I hate tsundere. But here, since both are tsundere, it feels okay 😅
I know this is wrong, but this is for the better. Goon misunderstood Saeyan and Shin. Once the mystery is solved, Goon and Saeyan can start anew without hard feelings. Also, Shin and Juyeon make a good couple who will support each other. When they are together, they can be themselves.
The Show Me The Money scene cracked me up! 🤣 Another reason why I admire Jin Seyeon besides her acting is bcos she can speak long sentences in one breath 👍🏻
And oh btw when she escaped from the house, I'm pretty sure she didn't wear her bra 😅
First of all i thought i could hold myself n gather more eps to binge-watch 😌 but i couldn't This Is Too Good…
I'm currently reading the novel! Tbh I'm more interested in second cp.
The main cp has a lot of happy moments, a lot of sex scenes, and Xie Wanyin has 2 more men crazily in love with her. Basically she doesn't suffer at all and Dongfang Zui has all the power, just need the time to use them. Their story is happy from the start to the end.
On the other hand, the second cp suffers from the start to the end, especially Jiang Mingyue. She does not have a single happy moment. Xie Tinghan is her only light and is her strength to continue living. Btw unlike the drama, Mingyue was sold by her family to the emperor, but she was sent to the cold palace after she committed suicide. She was saved by Dongfang Zui, changed her identity and was able to live outside. But before Tinghan proposes marriage, Mingyue is married to Li Chi! Yes, Li Chi who is infatuated with Xie Wanyin in the drama! He actually marries Mingyue! He does a lot of despicable things to her while being gentle and doting her everyday. It will take a whole lot of sentences to explain what happens to second cp 😭

I didn't expect you to post the songs from mini drama! I was thinking to ask you if you would perhaps do just the ending song. Thanks so much for this 😆
